Thomas Edison Explains
Why He Expects to Vote
for Woodrow Wilson


skilled workers to turn to war pro,
duction at a days notice.
Something that he said gave very
plain indication of his admiration of
Woodrow Wilson, and out of my own
ardent advocacy I took courage to
ask him whether or not he had made
up his mind between Mr.. Wilson and
Mr. Hughes.
"Not yet" he shook his head lmpa-
tiently. "Wait until we see what this
man Hughes has got to offer"
1t was on the day of Mr.. Hughes
final speech in California, the Wind
up of his coast-to-coast campaign tour,
that l received a telephone message
from Mr.. w. l.. Saunders, the mining
engineer.
81 happened to be talking with Mr..
Edison yesterday" he said, "and he
told me to tell you that he was willing
to make that Wilson statement if you
still wanted it"
was at Mr.. Saunders office almost
before the telephone receiver had
ceased to echo. Here was a chance
to make a campaign contribution
worth more than money. We rode to
Jersey through the Hudson tubes, and
as we went, Mr. Saunders told me
how he had worked beneath the river
bed as far back as 1881, young man
on his first engineering job A story
of broken lives and broken fortunes,
starting with Delos Haskins, who first
conceived the idea of a tunnel. con-
tinuing through foreign syndicates,
and winding up with William C. Nc
Adoo's success where others had
failed.
He talked also of his work in Mex
leo, Europe and the Orient, the fight
of America for the conquest of her
natural resources, of the difference be-
tween legitimate business and loaded
dice" business, of the distinctions that
must be made between enterprise and
rapacity and as he talked it was plain
that this mans support Of Woodrow
Wilson was based on no mere party
affliation, but had its sources in
tried and proved Americanism.
Mr. Edison, as a matter of course,
was not in the office, but down in the
shops. A boy went after him, and as
we looked down the alley that ran be-
tween the factory buildings, the well
known figure popped out of far door.
Bareheaded, in his shirt sleeves, ne
looked like nothing so much as coun-
try storekeeper hurrying to fill an
order for a pound of prunes.
Not until he came close enough to
see his eyes and forehead, to catch
the full effect of his dynamic force,
was the impression dissipated At a
sort of half run he led the way into
the laboratory, and sat down with the
effect of wanting to get through dis
agreeable job as quickly as might be.
"Well, Mr.. Edison" I began, with
drawing myself by an effort from fas-
cinated contemplation of that big,
dominant face and a necktie of the
of '76, "we-"
80 minute" he interrupted.
Leaning back so as to gain ingress,
he pushed his hand into his trousers
pocket-the old-fashioned kind that
opens at the top, not the side-and
drew out a bunch of crumpled yellow
paper.
"There!" he said 'Everything's
right there"

sheets torn from a cheap tablet-all

Makes Music In Early Spring.

Many take it for granted that the early frog songs of spring are sung by the handsome big green fellows which are common throughout the summer. There scarcely could be a graver mistake. The common leopard frog does sing in the early spring. but its note is dull and throaty rumble. The real chorister of the newly thawed ponds is hyla pickeringii. a mottled brown mite scarcely an inch in length. The marvel Is that so tiny a singer can make so much noise. Pickering's hyla is the most timid of frogs, and only the very persistent searchers can get glimpse of 1t. On the remote ap- proach of a human observer the tiny singer becomes silent and slips to the invisible depths of its chosen pool. It is extremely canny and wary. It really is not worth seeing. anyway. But it is well worth hearing.

Contraband of War.

Contraband of war consists of ar ticles which, in war time, are pro hibited or excluded by proclamation, law, or treaty" contraband goods may thus be prohibited by the laws of a particular state, the law of nations, or special treaty. It may be briefly stated that all articles which will aid bellig- erent operation are not permitted by one belligerent to be transported by neutrals to the other belligerent, but are, under the law of nations, subject to capture and condemnation; au~m1- nitions of war are absolute contra band; foodstufts, and such articles may be carried on passenger vessels, provided they are not explosives.

The Portuguese were the first Euro peans to settle in East Africa, and Mo- zambique, their earliest stronghold, provides striking testimony to the spirit of energy and enterprise which distinguished the early colonists, the London Chronicle says Built between the years 150S-1511 of stone imported from Portugal, no other African town has altered so little in recent years Houses built four centuries ago still abound in Mozambique, their doors and windows, heavily bolted and barred. testifying to their antiquity Dominating the harbor Is the castle of Sac Sebastiao, which, with it's mas sive walls, high above the water line forms the most impressive structure on the East African coast.

Time Has Changed "EIope."

An elopement has very definite meaning in the English language of today. It Is restricted by custom to a single meaning, that relating to the disappearance of a pair of sweet hearts. But an elopement in the ad- vertisements in eighteenth century newspapers meant the absconding of a slave. "Elope" is venerable Scan dinavian word. and Eric the Red would be much surprised to know that he would not be eloping from his ship should he jump ashore on the New England coast today.

Dear Editor:

btdi tdltOf.
When the Socialists nominated me
for the responsible position Of County
Superintendent of Education ! was at
Silver City. four hundred miles away,
attending the Summer Normal for
teacher. ! had never thought of so
great trust being thrust upon me.
In fact ! had thought women had no
business in politics, and would yet,
did my history and civics not teach
me that politics means more than
party strife
Looking upon the work of School
Superintendent as high office and a
position IN which all the people are 10
be served, | have decided to state TO
the public that if the majority should
give me their suffrage | would accept
and strive to continue 70 improve the
work of the schools Of the county.
Thanking you for this opportunity
Of getting my first public statement
before the people, ! am,
Respectfully,
MRS. JAMES T. KING.

DEMOCRATIC STATE
CANDIDATES HERE
TUESDAY AND MET
VOTERS OF COUNTY

The Democratic state candidates ar.
rived in Tucumcari this week some
what behind their schedule, on account
Of encountering some bad sand be
tween Logan and Tucumcari The par
ty composed Of Messrs DavissOn. can
didate for Land Commissioner; Patton
the candidate for Attorney General.
and Montoya, candidate for Corpora
ton Commissioner.
They arrived late Monday night but
not in time to speak. They were here
Tuesday for the LIST day Of the big
roundup and succeeded in meeting the
voters Of the county who received
them graciously.
Hon. A. A. Jones, Hon. w. B. Wal
ton and Hon Antonio Lucero arrived
Tuesday and addressed good sized
audience composed Of representative
citizens OF Quay county, at the Court
House that evening.
Mr.. Walton was first to speak and
he made ar extra good impression up
on his hearers He recited some uf
the past experiences Of the recent leg
islatures in New Mexico, also told of
me manipulation of the republican po-
litical machine. He would make
representative in congress that would
be credit TO the state and would
work for the interests of the state as
well as the nation.
Mr.. Jones was then introduced and
IT is useless 20 comment on his con
vincing arguments in favor of the
present administration. He upheld the
presidents Mexican policy and every
other policy favored and passed by the
president and congress. Mr.. Jones is
a big broad-minded statesman without
a political blemish and there is little
doubt about him defeating Mr.. HUI
bel, the republican nominee. He will
have the united support OF the Dem
ocracy Of this county as he has at all
times stood by the homesteader and
citizens of this part of the state. He
will also secure "A number of republi-
can votes, from those who know and
appreciate his ability.
Hon. Antonio Lucero addressed the
audience in English Tuesday night and
again on Wednesday morning at the
NouIt HOuSt nt duuTeSSeu tne spanish
speaking voters in their native tongue.
Mr. Lucero is firm believer in good
schools and has figured out the right
way TO abolish the race question. He
thinks the only way is to teach all
pupils the English language and when
they all speak the same there will be
no more race issue. He said il was
natural for anyone 10 suppose that
man speaking foreign language
must necessarily be foreigner. While
the SpanishAmericans are Americans
by birth they do not seem so unless
they learn to speak the English Ian
guage which is generally accepted as
the American language
MesSrS. Jones, Walton, and Lucero
spent Wednesday here getting ac-
quainted. During the day Mr.. Lucero
went TO Logan and addressed an au-
dience there. returning to Tucumcari
and rejoining the party on its trip
over Eastern New Mexico.
