A DRAMATIC CRITICISM
washington Starr

The late Richard Harding Davis
was once talking about the decay Of
American letters.
1--WE have no great writer's any
more" he said, because great writ
ing is frowned down on by publishers
and critics alike.
"The publisher and the critic, when
confronted with a piece of great writ
ing, act exactly like the tin can editor
when he came to criticse a perform
ance of Hamlet
"'In this piece the editor began,
there is too much chinning. The au-
thor is behind the times, and forgets
that what the people want nowadays
is thrilling situations, brilliant detec-
tive work and pretty girls. In the
hands Of an up to date playwright a
sleuth would have been put on the
trail of Hams uncle and the old man
would have been hunted down in a
way to lift the gallery gods right out
of their boots. The moral of the piece
is not good. The scene where Hamlets
sasses his old mother sets very bad
example to the rising generation. Our
advice to the author is a little more
action, lot more sentiment and a
spice of variety business in his next
piece"
The Clayton citizen. [volume] (Clayton, Union County, N.M.) 1906-19??, 1916-11-23

too often, incompetent persons are ap-
pointed to hold such elections in the
various precincts. 1t is often the case
that juuges of the election cannot read
or write and are for such lack of ac-
complishment incompetent to fill such
positions. Such conditions continually
render ample reasons and grounds for
election contests which the laws fully
provide for; but which, it would seem,
should be rendered unnecessary and
very improbable by strictly lawful
procedure in the conduct of all cleo
tions which are intended to reflect the
will and voice of the people and not
the particular interests of the few.

WAS LOOKING FOR MEXICAN
TO KILL AND FOUND ONE

Magdalena, N. NJ, Nov. 1S.-With
the remark, 81 am looking for Mex
lean to kill" Tom O'Neil, cook liv-
;.'g here, walked up to M. Giron, la
borer, Friday night shortly after mid
night, and without any other warning
shot him through the heart. Giron
died instantly. So far as is known
there had not been any previous
trouble between the two men. The
killing took place on West MAR
street, between the West saloon anc
the corral of the Ranch Supply com
pany, in the main business section o
the town.

THOSE ELECTION
IRREGULARITIES

1t seems almost an impossibility to
have elections conducted in Union
county strictly upon "the square" and
according to the provision of the stat
utes. Reports are coming in of all
sorts of irregularities and some at
tempted frauds where none were ex-
pected. For instance, in one precinct,
it is reported that as the counting of
the ballots proceeded and it was found
that certain n candidates were not re-
ceiving the expected majorities, the
ballot box was kicked around on the
floor until the ballots were scattered
about on the floor and again picked up
and returned to the box after shot
had been fired at it. In another pre-
cinct it is reported that every ballot
cast was mutilated in a manner which
destroys the secrecy of the ballot and
this systematically done. In another
precinct, the judges could not unlock
the box so as to proceed to canvass
and count the ballots and make up the
returns and were ordered to bring the
box to Clayton where the master
key" to the situation could be obtained
and the judges .canvassed and counted
the ballots in Clayton with not a
single voter of the precinct present
outside themselves.
In precinct number 1, Clayton, it is
claimed that twenty-five or thirty legal
voters were denied their right of fran
chise while others who We're chal-
lenged were allowed to vote indis-
criminately, one of whom, being per-
sistently challenged, was told, upon
displaying a straight democratic ticket
to the judges of election, by one of the
judges, to vote the ticket and if he
lost his job for so voting to apply to
the judges of election for relief Sew
eral of the boxes did not have the re-
turns of the election judges in them
when unlocked, the returns of some
having been sent to Santa Fe, ant
others by express to Clayton.
Under the present regime of elec
tion procedure in Union county, irreg
ularities and frauds are not only pos
sible, but probable and, it would seem
invited to "walk right in, sit righ
down and make themselves at home.
The clerk of the board of county com
missioners holds the master key" t,

board of county commissioners, there

master key" to the official election

THREATENING is ATTI-
TUDE OF LABOR

Baltimore, Nd, Nov. 21.-Afilia-
tion Of the members of the American
Federation of Labor and the four big
brotherhoods for effecting the general
betterment of labor was urged today
before the federation convention here
by the brotherhoOds and President
Samuel A. Gompers. Delegates who
crowded the hall cheered all the
speakers enthusiastically, I'VE must
hang together or we vii hang sepa-
rately," w. G. Lee, spokesman for the
brOtherhOOds and head of the Rail-
road Trainmen declared.
at is a great comfort to know,
President Gompers said, Chat the
time is not far distant when the great
brotherhoods will be part of the Am
erican Federation of Labor"
Mr. Lee explained that the laws of
the brotherhoods now prevent an Of
fetal affiliation with the federation un-
til after their convention is held but
he insisted that between now and that
time, the organization could cooper
ate with the same purpose as if they
were officially affiliated. He also made
it plain that the brotherhoods were not
bringing their 8-hour day TROUBLES"
to the federation for support.
81 am about anarchist enough, how
ever, he said, "to say that we are go
ing to work for the S-hour day for all
classes. If we can't get it peace
ably, we will fight for it."
President Gompers said:
eve expect that the railroad broth
erhoods will on January l next, in
augurate the 8-hour work-day and !
think can TRULY say to you that
whatever arises, whatever betides,
you have the undivided support of the
organized working men and women
as represented by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor"
when the money power Of the
United States failed in the attempt to
corrupt the electorate and when their
plans were upset by the votes of the
citizenship of the United States, the
capitalists showed their colOrs. They
met and gave out declaration on
that they were going to antagOnizC
every effort put forth by organized la.
Dor. But men of wealth | say to you
be careful how far you go. There is q
limit to even human endurance. YOI
throw down the gauntlet and we ac
cept the challenge. When the time
comes it will be another case of clay
on MacDuff, and damned be he whit
first cries enough"
w. S. Carter, president of tn,
Brotherhood of Railway Fireman ant
Engine Men, declared in a speech tina
the danger that confronts all working
people today is the coercion or sub
ordination of the public press by tn
master class"
"The coming of penny paper" h
added, '':as done more than thinking
, else to put the press under the domi
nation of advertisers. Unfortunatel
, labor has but little to do with adver
! Using practically all the advertise
ments come from the master class.

The state central committee of the
Democratic party completed it's work
today by adopting the following plat
form:
We heartily endorse the National
Democratic platform and rejoice in
the achievements of the present Dem
Ocratic administration, which has sue
cessfully guided the Ship of State
through troubled waters, insuring the
infinite blessings OF peace to our coun-
try and prosperity to our people,
while the nations Of Europe are en-.
gagged in destructive conflict and their
commerce reduced to stagnation. The
present Democratic administration
stands upon an enviable record OF
promises kept and obligations fulfilled
With supreme qualification and pride
we direct attention to the following
constructive legislative enactments,
recommended by the present admins
tration and passed by a Democratic
| congress, which add to the comfort,
welfare and happiness of the great
mass Of American people:
The Rural Credits Act, which will
free the farming class from the greed
Of the money agents; the Income Tax,
which equitably places the increased
burden Of taxation upon those having
the larger incomes; the Federal Re.
serve Act, which establishes twelve
financial centers and frees us from
the monetary domination Of Wall
Street, and which will prevent the re-
currence of panics so long as control
of governmental functions remains in
the hands of friends of that law; the
Eight Hour Law, for all female EN-.
ployes Of the government in the Dis
trict of Columbia postal clerks and
workers in the Navy; the Child Labor
Law, which emancipates children
from industrial slavery and protects
their physical, mental and moral de-
velopment; the Clayton Antitrust
Law, regulating the issuance of fed.
eral injunctions; the creation of De-
partment of Labor, with a secretary
included as member of the presi-
dents cabinet: the Corrupt Practice
Act, which will prevent dishonest
methods in the election of federal Off
Gals; the physical valuation of rail
roads, for the purpose of arriving at
an equitable basis of railroad taxa
ton; the extension and enlargement
of the Parcels Post Law, to meet the
increased demand of the public; the
Adamson Act, which recently prevent
ed nationwide railway strike and its
consequent far-reaching industrial dis
asters. -.
In state matters we recommend a
return to the economic, efficient and
honest administration of affairs, such
as the state enjoyed during the six
years of John Burke's occupancy of
the governors office.
