1t has treated the business men of this coun-
try as though they were suspicious characters.
1t has assumed that capital and labor are ma
tural enemies. In four years it has put this
country further on the road to class war than
has been accomplished in a generation before.
The men who stand with me believe in the
honesty of the American working man, they
believe no less in the honesty of the American
business man, and they believe that the COM
mon good is to be found not in class war but
in mutual justice and fair dealing, not as be-
tween capital and labor in the abstract but as
between men and men.
You know the road we have Travelled
this last four years. Mr.. Bryan and Mr..
Daniels are its monuments Of executive ef-
ficiency. Our murdered and forsaken citi-
zens in Mexico reveal a conception of Ameri-
can citizenship PLAIN enough to see but a new
one for American patriotism to adopt; the
monument Of class bitterness raised by this
administration throws a sinister shadow across
our political horizon; the unjust accusation
against business men has left 4 bitter taste
IN our national life. If you prefer tins path
it is plainly marked. And the end OF it is
class war.
You ask what road | propose to travel
These arc the milestoncs which mark it--an
executive responsible to the whole nation, a
cabinet chosen from the ablc,t Americans. a
foreign policy that stands courtcously but firm
~ for American rights, a flag that protects
the American in his lawful rights wherever
his legitimate business may take him, a prep

make proof and secure little to their lands
in this state because of technical and unjust
rulings by the department over which you
presided, in spite of the fact that Congress
passed a relief law for their benefit? And
why did you not allow them the benefit OF
that law which has now been on the statute
hooks for twenty months?
Why, when holding the position which
has full and direct charge of all land deci-
sions, appeals, patents, approvals and all other
control of public lands have you allowed state
applications to remain undisposed of, that were
pending when you assumed their management
four years ago, and thereby defined the schools
of this, state of several hundred thousand
dollars and the citizens who have applied for
those lands Of the use of over half a million
dollars which they have put up as a guaran-
tee and which neither they nor the state can
use until the state applications are passed up
on by the First Assistant Secretary of the In
terror or Ills subordinates?
Why did you come back from Washing
ton and tell the small stockinan that the GAO
acre homestead bill had passed when you knew
She contrary?
What reason have you to assure anyone
that it ever will pass?
Why do you go about the state telling
those who favor it that it is certain to pass
and those opposed that there is no danger that
it viii ever pass? As reported by the papers
of your party.
Did you or did you not secure posses
sion Of the Preston Beck Grant by ousting and
bankrltpting numerous settlers thereon, who
we're the wrightful owners of those lands?
DO you or do you not owe over thirty
thousand dollars taxes the payment of which
through your cunning as an attorney, YOU
have been able to defeat from year to year?
Santa. Re voters who have the interests
Of this city and county at heart should not
forget that Marcelino A. Ortiz has been a re-
sident Of this county all his life; that every
dollar of which he is possessed is invested in
property in this county, while his opponent has
lived here only as a state official, is not on
the tax roll of this county and claimed to be a
resident OF Union county until he became a
candidate for the Democratic nomination for
clerk at that party's county convention.

We understand that the county clerks in
several Democratic counties have pretended
that they did not receive for filing the certi-
fled copies of the Republican state ticket.
Additional copies have been forwarded to
all such clerks and register return card, show
ing the delivery of the same, are held by the
Republican party officials. Some few clerks
have even gone farther and threatened to not
have any Republican ballots printed for their
county. 1t might be we'll for such gentlemen
TO consult both federal and state statutes re-
lative to their status if they fail to provide
proper and sufficient ballots for any and all
parties having either national, state or coun-
ty tickets and to remember that any malicious
violation of those laws will be vigorously pro-
secuted.

Hughes is making upon the record of
the Administration by asking him :
"What would you do?" they are M
consciously helping Mr.. Hughes. They
are recalling TO the memory of tAd
people the record he made throughouty
his two terms as Governor of Newt
York. 1t was then That he first said

made performance square with prom

that makes him SO different from Mr..
Wilson: "Ilughes means what he
says" So it is HAT the campaign is
really a contest Of character between
two men, with sincerity as the differ
entiating and deciding factor.

THE q N OFFICERS

Few counties in New Mexico or anywhere
else, for that matter, have enjoyed as good
and economical financial administration at the
hands of its county officials as this county has
enjoyed for the past five years.
The present board of county commission
ers has held its expenses down to considerably
less than its receipts and has used the differ
ence to pay off such floating Indebtedness as
exiStedw hen they came into office.
We believe that it is safe to claim that
the county clerks office Of this county is the
most economical in the state having a similar
amount of business. Expenses of every kind
which are usually matters largely in the dis
erection of the county clerk as well as expen-
ditures for supplies of all kinds, have been
kept at a minimum.
The entire county has enjOyed a period
Of peace and law enforcement, only two or
three crimes Of a revolving nature having oc-
cured during the past five or six years, which
IS a remarkably low record for a county of
this size due in no small measure TO the dis
crction and firuness of the sheriff's office.
The county school superintendent has
made a statewide reputation for at least three
different accomplishments, the first Of which
was the construction or reconstruction under
his supervision OF schoolhouses in every dis
trict in the county within a period Of two years.
The second WAS his effective means OF secur-
ing information relative to non-attendance
and bringing the school attendance up to its
present very high standard. AND the third ac-
conplislmcut worthy of special attention, was
the night schools established last wear and at
which the attendance in many districts was
very large and the benefit 10 those who al
tended was great.
The county treasurer's office. handled
by The present candidate for cleo
ton, has been well managed and practically
every entry and account posted and balanced
daily.
The assessor has very greatly increased
the assessed valuation in the county during
term OF office. Part Of this was, Of course
due, to the fact that property is now being as
scsscd at its full cash value, but in addition
to that increase the assessor has added many
and acres of land and many head of
not before m the rolls. His work
the direction and with the assistance of
the county commissioner and anable assistant
conmenable.
The probate court has been handled sa-
-isfactorily. The wishes and interests of heirs
always been considered and guarded.
The tax rate has been very materially de-
,rcased during the past five years and today
over forty percent of the entire amount of
paid in this county is for schools, and
me Of the largest levies of the remaining
sixty percent is the interest and sinking funds
N bonds voted to assist in railroad constrnc-
ion many years ago.

MR.. W. O. MCDONALD
Did you or did you not veto the bill to
permit the State Land Commissioner to lease
land for oil development because you desired
to keep the price of land down so as to con-
tinue to lease large tracts OF it for your cattle
company at a very low rate?
Did you or did you not go before the state
board of equalization (your own appointees)
and represent that you had only 700 head of
cattle in Chaves county when as a matter of
fact you had over 1000?
Did you or did you not pay your taxes
in Lincoln county in 1912 (since you have
been governor and have been berating+ tax
dodgers) until the county treasurer notified
you officially that he would take possession
of your cattle if you undertook to ship them
without paying the taxes?
Did you or did you not pay your taxes
in Guadalupe county until sued by the county?
Did you or did you not go out of the
office Of assessor and collector of Lincoln
county with the public money rnaccatnted
for? Did the county sue you for it? Did
the county get judgment for it? Did you
settle up? How much did you pay back2
Was that all Of it?
Did you or did you not become very an
cry when you first learned that F. G. de Bqea,
during your temporary absence had pardoned
Vigil, the wife murderer and did vor not
say then that he would not get another chance
10 disgrace the office while you were gov
ernor? Have you changed your mind?
Did you or did you not delay your ap-
proyal Of lands applied for by Mrs. Mathers
for the express purpose of securing her range
