Design. Va, Feb, 1o.--The ladies Of
Design Woman's Christian Temper
Union held silver Medal Contest
at Design Methodist Episcopal Church
on Friday evening. February 1. which
proved to be both interesting ard in
structive. The inclement weather OF
few days previous prevented the ex-
tensive advertising OF the affair, and
the serious sickness in some OF the
families Of the vicinity tended TO
lessen the attendance. However, the
faithful few" and friends OF the cause
were privileged to be present.
The contest was a very close one,
the winner of the medal, Miss Mary
Collins. receiving ii by the narrow
margin OF FIVE points.

Bursurn's Paper Roads
Still Being Used to
BunkO San Juan
Harrington Times Hnstlerl

Lookl Who's here Why, it's the same old Republican
road to the San Juan that Bull Andrews began building for
US during the campaign twelve years ago. Not quite 50 good,
not quite 50 expensive, but stll the same ssoutlet for our I'M
comparable products, 7 etc. Twelve years ago, when Bull
Andrews was q candidate for delegate, we we're duly in
formed that if we would only elect him., after his having
stolen the nomination from Hon. =. s. Rodey, that he would
build us a railroad into the San Juan, a real onest-torgoodness
railroad. Well we elected him, but where's the railroadY
Two years later the railroad incident had passed out Of
his mind, and we were informed that if we again elected
the Sacred Bull that we would be given a bridge across the
Juan, all paid for out Of good government money, and a
road to Gallup would be forthwith constructed. We elected
him, but where's the road and bridget
Three years later Chrisman and the San Juan bridge
sought our favor and we gave it, But where's the bridget
Now comes Bursum with an automobile truck road from
the San Juan to somewhere destination not mentioned, be-
cause prepayment might lose a few votes at Gallup, Albuquer-
que or Santa Fe). As we listened to this new scheme the
past promises doomed up prominently in our minds and we
wondered if it was a chapter snatched from the burnt books
|of our forgotten lore. During all these years, and more, Mr..
Bursum has been in control Of the legislatures Of this state
and territory, just as Mr.. Chrisman explained to us in his
presence. she carried the bills in his pocket that were to be
passed. \ 50 Chrisman informed us and Bursum acquiesced in
silence. And yet no road or bridge came ont Of that legisla-
ture for the San Juan. But only when he needs our votes is
the prize of a road hung before our eyes,
The hard-headed business man will reflect that the only
money that has ever come from this state to this county for
roads was sent here by Mcdonald, who came to us, not making
promises, but looking over our needs and then trying to meet
them with the meager means at his command. The latter is
the business way Of building roads. The other is the political
way. af eaFae ls79a ~~

The Grand Old Party
Of the Double Cross

The Grand Old Party Of the Double Cross is again
at its old tricks in New Mexico.
The Republican candidates and their campaign
managers are today knitting Charles E. Hughes and the
national ticket in the effort, by trading, to secure more
votes for the restoration to power of the Hubbell
Bursum-Pag Martinezetc. ring-the grand old bunch
that gave you the Hawkins bill, the procorporation mine
tax law and the anti-taxpayer Bursum law, and the
Bursum penitentiary administration.
The real Republicans, who are working Loyalty for
Hughes, are given warning. This crowd, under the di-
rection of State Chairman CLEARWATER, who is touting
candidates he bitterly denounced a few years ago,
doesn't care a whoop for Hughes or Republication.
You know this aggregation-you know it is in the
field simply to get control of the pickings in this state.
It isn't Republican, never was Republican, knows
no more of Republican principles, as Frank w.
Clancy said of Hubbell, ethan a native resident of the
interior Of Africa, I" and would willingly throw the state
to Wilson if it could thereby barter votes. enough to
again seize New Mexico for its own selfish advantage.
If you are a real Republican and q Hughes man
a Republican from principle-be on your guard against
the Grand Old Party Of the Double Cross Of New Mexico.
