This is a part of the statement of
his policy and hat of his party on

ment. that H. o. Bursum, Republican
candidate for governor, has peer nah

"A good roads BILL" continued Bur
sum, drafted by the State Good
Roads Association, an organization
composed OF the leading good roads
advocates in New Mexico, was passed
without opposition by both houses OF
the 1915 Legislature. In the Senate
only two members voted against It,
and in the House only four voted no.
GOVERNOR MCDONALD SAID IN
MY PRESENCE THAT HE WOULD
APPROVE THAT BILL. 1t was pre-
scented to him for signature two days
before the adjournment. Did he sign
1t? Not yet. Taking advantage of
the fact hat there was no time for
he Legislature to do anything fur
ther with the measure Governor Nc
Donald applied the pocket Veto
sending this bill to the waste bas-
ket."
Governor Mcdonald has not yet ex-
planned why he agreed to sign that
bill and then destroyed a eas on
which he and the Legislature had
agreed. differences may be drawn,
however, from the fact that the meas
IRE took away from the governor the
power to appoint the seventy-eight
h,en who form the county road boards
IN our twenty-siX counties. II Is pos
sihlr that Governor Mcdonald was un-
wiling 10 relinquish this appointive

Leans ha We been surprised at the in
ter9st shown and at the enthusiasm
which Bursum's statement of his poll
cies has evoked. AS for Lincoln coun-
ty, the Republicans will carry il be-
yond much question and Bursum is
sure TO carry it. The people OF Lin
coin county are against Governor Nc
Donald in this election and in spite OF
the fact that he Is their neighbor, or
perhaps because of it, they are goinf
to vote against him and against the
man who they believe he was chiefly
instrumental in nominating as the
Democratic candidate for governor.

Mr.. Rursum has stuck close to the
record in dealing with the Mcdonald

SWEEPING REPUBLICAN VICTORY
ASSURED IN NATION and STATE

THE Republican party will sweep the nation on Novem-
Der 1h in one of the most stupendous political vic
tories in the history of the nation.
This is the confident forecast of those in close and init
mate personal touch with the national situation and who
know the sentiment of the country as a whole and the pres
ent trend of popular feeling in favor. of Charles E. Hughes
and against Wilson and the Wilson policies.
Victory for the Republican party is conceded by prac.
tically every man who has had an opportunity for a careful
survey of the whole situation. 1t is an election in which
one of those drifts of sentiment, which at long intervals oc-
cur in this nation, is to carry Charles e. Hughes to the
White House probably with an unprecedented majority be-
hind him.
In New York city, the heart and center of political
sentiment, betting now is two to one in favor of Hughes and
Wilson money is hard to find even at such odds. In New
Mexico as elsewhere Democratic newspapers are printing
forecasts, alleged straw votes, estimates and predictions in
a desperate effort to stem the tide Of public sentiment. The
Democrats are making the greatest publicity effort on rec
ord to check the growth of the Hughes land slide. But the
effort is a hopeless one. American sentiment has been de-
termined. The national feeling has become fixed and Ite-
publican victory is no longer in doubt.
Here in New Mexico the same condition prevails. A
majority for Charles Il. Hughes is assured. Holm O. Bur-
sum will be elected governor by an overwhelming majority.
With him the whole Republican state and congressional
ticket will go into office. In New Mexico as in the nation
public sentiment has become fixed. The result is no longer
in doubt. Republican victory is assured. 1t is time now for
every New Mexico Republican to get behind his united party
and add to the magnitude of the victory.

heavy rains and rotten roads. Rain

literally plowed their way through
mud, and the final catastrophe of
travel came about four miles out of
Carlsbad Monday night, Oct. 16, when
one of the automobiles crashed into a
cave-in on the side of a bridge. wreck

date for superintendent OF schools, sui

him considerable pain, but which has
not deferred the game young educator

Carlsbad made up the party in the
