TO The REPUBLICANS
OF new MEXICO

UOUR candidate for governor, Holm O. Bursum, is running
like the leader of a landslide. From all parts of the state
and finally to Bursum, and he and the Republican state ticket
are to be elected by a record-breakinR majority. Let every
Republican in New Mexico, from this moment until the polls
close on election day, bend his every energy to making that
majority overwhelming.
The election of Charles F. Hughes is certain. The nation
is for him. Sentiment has turned TO him throughout the coun-
try, just as sentimen has turned to Bursum in New Mexico.
The people are tired of nefhciency, of vascillation, of evasion
aud weakness They want a change to strong, vigorous Amer
can leaders, whose policies are definite and whose administra-
i've ability is adequate.
New Mexico must not be behind the rest of the states in
support for Mr.. Hughes. The Democrats in New Mexico have
abandoned all hope of electing De Baca or Mcdonald and have
centered all their efforts on support for Wilson and for their
candidate for the Senate, A. A. Jones. This desertion of their
state ticket creates a situation which all Republicans must
watch and guard against This is our opportunity to make
New Mexico definitely and for all time a Republican state.
See that every vote in your precinct and at your polling place
votes the Republican ticket straight-that Charles +. Hughes
and our candidates for the United States Senate and the House
of Representatives, get every Republican vote.
The congressman from New Mexico may determine the
political complexion of the next Congress. Remember that on
election day and see that every Republican vote goes for
Hughes and for men who will support his policies.
Pass the word along to your friends. This is TO be made
an overwhelming Republican victory. A half victory will not
do. A small majority will not do. 1t must be convincing and
final 1t must be big enough to place New Mexico in the Re
publican column for years to come.
To this end work every minute from now until election
day, and on election Hay go to the polls before they open.
Line mp among the early voters. Cast your vote early and
thereafter work at the polls in behalf of your national, your
congressional, your state and your county ticket. Make it a
clean sweep right down the line. Elect them all.
Remember that the Democrats are desperate. They are
ready to go to any length. Their last minute attacks will be
vicious. Their last minute efforts to distract you and deceive
you will be equally vicious. Just keep in mind that Mcdonald
and his administration have been tried by the people of New
Mexico-and found wanting; and remember the assurance of
Mcdonald when he said eff F. c. de Baca is elected governor
of New Mexico he will make the same kind of a governor
have been"
Remember all these things and do your duty to your party
and your state and your own best interests on November 9TH.

The President himself has tried to
appropriate for his own advantage
the sentiment Of America first" The
Democrats have tried to make his sup
port an act OF piety, by adopting
"Thank God for Wilson, as a slogan.
Mr.. Hughes, with rare courage, frank
ness and penetration, is exposing the
fimsy foundation for the claims of
WllsOnlan lnfalllblllty. He is laying
bare a record Of ex-travagance, partl-
sanshlp, sectionallsm, incompetence,
wrongheadedness, vaceillation and in
sincerity which destroys the attempt
to make a joss out Of the President.
The Democrats must come out of their
ecstatic trance and defend their stew.
