Meeting in Columbus.
--
Hon. Holm o. Bursum. the
next governor of New Mexico
addressed a full house at the
CRYSTAL Theatre Thursday after
noon. The house seats about
900 people, and practically ev-
cry seat was taken. The APP
plausc that greeted the speaker
proved beyond all doubt that he
had the people with him.
The principal part of Mr. Bur
SUMS speech was on national af-
fairs. Good roads and his plan
for building them without bonds
being issued was the main issue
brought to attention in his own
campaign. He spoke of the cx-
cellent system of highways i'm
California and the enormous
amount of business brought to
that state by eastern tourists
ION account of its system of high
ways He said that funds for
building roads could be raised by
q tax levy of one mil on the dol
liar for ten wears. and that the
money obtained from this law
for the next ten years would be
available at once. or in thirty
days after the adjournment of
the legislature. providing the re-
|pubHcans elected a majority in
the legislature. The funds that
would be realized by this one
mil levy would amount to 50
. 100000.
The Mexican policy of the
, lurescnt administration was dis
lcussed and condemned. At this
, time the audience gave evidence
LOT their approval in round after
round of applause, and leading
+ and prominent democrats lead.
Mr.. Bursum is no orator and
does not clai INTO be. He presen-
ted the facts in a plain, straight
! forward manner, leaving out all
bitterness and mud singing and
= sIhIs words carried conviction.
THE Mcdonald administration
4 was never mentioned i'm his
2 specch-an administration that
condemns itself
Some democrats say they are
disappointed in the man, and
! they certainly should be. He
won the fair thinking people and
4 has without a doubt made a big
+ .rimp in the Mcdonald vote in
i Columbus.
j. County chairman J. R. Blair
c presided over the meeting and
S introduced the speaker as the
$ biggest man that ever stood on
# New Mexican soil Mr.. Bursum
IS was accompanied here from
If Deming by Corporation Commits
sioner Hugh H. Williams and
Guthrie Smith of the FL PasC
Herald. The party returned tC
r Deming in the evening.

Echoes From Chicago.

San Francisco Bulletin Poor ma
terialistic America! She waits ans
waits for the day when an idealistis
movement will sweep everything be
fore it. Meanwhile, she laughs Al
her Henry Fords. sneers at her Bry.
ans, and is ashamed Of the old shirt
sleeved democracies which still lingei
in country places and in states whefs
pioneering days are not FORGOTTEN. The
"Americanism" of the present politi-
cal campaign will not do the trick ex-
pected of it. The very floor was
mopped with Americanism in the
gathering at Chicago, of which one of
the country's keenest political observ-
ers (Mr. Walter LippmanJ writes:
"The incredible scrdidness of that
convention passes all description. It
was gathering of insanitary, callous
men, who blasphemed patriotism, made
Ia mockery of Republican government
and filled the air with sodden and
scheming stupidity"
What was the Americanism of such
a gathering? Blaspheny-Mr Lipo-
mann's words describe it. And while
the Republicans were taking noble
names and noble ideals in vain pro-
gressivism was passing out. The Pro-
gressives--some of them. at least
had tried to be american" to lay the
curse of fat self-interest which afflic-
ted the nation, to "do something" for
the oppressed and heavi'v laden. These
things their loved and trusted leader
had rejected in favor of a hard doc
tine of military force; and the prin-
ciples which aroused burning enthusi-
asm in 1912 were reduced--were Per-
kinized, to put it accurately-into u
formula. It was Californian who
led the protest against this betrayal.
Says Mr.. Lipnmann:
"Hiram Johnson mentioned the in
terests Of children and it sounded
strange"
This was because Mr.. Roosevelt and
his advisers had forgotten, as much
as the Republican bosses, the inter-
ests of children, Of children's moth
ers, of workingmen and workingmen's
families. They proposed discipline
when what was wanted was bread,
open spaces and fresh air.
The reactionaries were callous to these
demands, because to grant them might
interfere with somebody's profits; and
men who had called themselves Pro-
gressive seemed to believe that they
could settle everything by establishing
the Swiss system of military train
ing.
When Progressivism, chastened and
purged by calamity, enters, as 1t will.
into the formation of a new, truly
dealistic, sincerely democratic party,
it will be seen that it was men Of
Johnson's type, not of Roosevelt's, who
kept the faith. 1t NAV not seem
strange, then, to talk of the inter-
ests of children; and it will be ex-
,eeding.y strange if any representa-
tives of any political party dare then
10 meet at Chicago or elsewhere and
commit acts which are denial of de-
nocracy and an insult to the millions
If working people who are the heart
and soul of the nation.
