TO THE DEMOCRATS
OF BACA COUNTY

Before the legislative assembly
met on the 7th ult., word came
down by letter from Lamar that
they this year wanted to give the
nomination for representative
on the democratic ticket to
Baca county, they believing that
Baca was entitled to it this year
for the loyal support given by it
to Prowers county candidates
since the district was organized
twenty-six years ago.
1t was this understanding that
our delegates had of the situation.
but when they went up to La
mar to attend the assembly they
found the Prowers delegation
pledged to a Prowers mana.
G. Davis Of Wiley, to put whom
OH the ticket, OF course, was their
privilege.
There are thus two candi-
dates for nomination on the
democratic ticket, and as one
of those candidates l wish
at this time simply to
say that 1 will appreciate the
support of the democrats of
Baca, as well as of Prowers, in
the primary, and that if nomina-
ted, shall endeavor TO make the
other feller earn his election be-
fore he gets it.
After the primary, if nominat-
ed, l shall make a thorough
canvass of the district, and shall
then give an outline of some
things that 1 think ought to be
done at Denver.
Thanking you in advance for
your support in the primary,
Very truly yours,

Congressman KeatlnG'S Letter


President Wilson has again DE-
monstrated that no problem In
too big for him, He has saved
the country from one of the
most disastrous strikes in its
history and has laid the founda-
tions of an enduring peace be-
tween the railroads and their
employees.
AS usual, when the crisis was
reached the president developed
the power to get au lhc heart Of
the problem. de called the 70.
representatives. of the railroads
and OF the brotherhoods to the
White House and amazed beth
sides by his mastery of the de-
tails OF ali intricate and perplex-
ing issue. Then he swept aside
the non-essentials and put his
finger on the main question.
When the railroad presidents
rejected his suggestions he ~
pealed to Congress. The rest 10
history. Congress, without re-
gard to party lines, sustained
him, because his proposals wsee
unmistakaby those of a statss-
man and not of a politician
Another Wilson Triumph
When the European war began
the marine insurance companies
increased their rates to a poink
where American exporters were
unable to do business because
they could not afford to purchase
insurance. The situation was .
most serious one. The presi.
dent turned to Compress and
suggested that the government
should go ito the marine insar-
once ousinesS.
Our republican friends made .
great fuss over the plan. Il was
socialistic, they said, and might
involve this county into untor-
tunate complications with tie
belligerent nations.
Wilson lauGhed at their pro-
tests and their fears. Congress
passed the bill establishing ~

American cargoes began to nno2o
