we can't understand why he should
want one thousand extra copies OF
the issue in which it appeared. II
surely cannot be that he desires to
bring religion into politics.
Tho II be wholly within our pow
er to do so we would not do one whit
to prevent MIR. Johnson, or any 9TH
er man from worshiping God accord
ing to his own convictions. We will
do what we can to elect Mr. Haswell
in November, but not because he is
Baptist. Nor would we ask any
voter to aid in the defeat of the Dem
ocratic candidate because he is a
Catholic. II anyone is influenced by
either religious belief in this congress
sional race we assume he has his
own personal reasons.
As we saw il Mr.. Johnson inti-
mated that the article above referr-
ed to was the principle reason for
his coming to Hartford Monday. II
so, we hope to have another one soon
for we enjoyed the Congressman
speech and visit. We admire him for
undertaking to defend the Wilson
policies: we caught the strains as he
sung his praise of the President for
having kept us out of war with Mex
leo, when, as he says, our only griev-
ance was the arrest of sixteen ne
groes. We want him to come back
and tell us what the sixteen negro
soldiers were doing in Mexico when
they were arrested. II would be of
interest to know whether they were
there in obedience to orders from a
Democratic War Department. We
want to hear of the capture of Vera
Cruz and would like to know If they
have captured villa, dead, dying or
alive. There are lots of things we
would be pleased to learn of the Ad-
ministration and Mr.. Johnson is al
ways yelcome to Hartford.
We assert again that The Repub-
lican is not concerned with Congress
man Johnson's religious belief. In
fact, the writer did not know posi-
lively, until we heard him say Mon
day. to what religious denomination
he belonged. We have several reas-
ons for opposing the reelection Of
Mr.. Johnson without considering his
religion, and the greatest of these is

say II is for war purposes because
they say President Wilson has kept
us out of war. The best way to
protest is to stamp under the log

Congressman Ben Johnson in his
Hartford speech Monday, made this
amazing statement: THE recent
state election in Maine offers no dis
couraging features to Democrats. A
careful estimate has been made and
the Democrats got SS per cent more
votes this time than they did four
years ago and the Republicans only
4 per cent" The facts are: In 1912
the Democrat candidate for Govern
or in Maine received 67,74S votes
and in 1916 the Democrat candidate
for Governor in Maine received
66,547 or a Democratic loss of 1,2O1
votes as against Mr.. Johnson's state
ment OF gain of 33 per cent. Four
years ago the Republican candidate
for Governor in Maine received H.
043 votes and in 1916 the Repub-
lican candidate for Governor in Maine
received 1902 votes or a gain of
$3.50. representing a Republican
gain of S per cent instead of 4 per
cent as stated by Mr.. Johnson. The
figures quoted appeared in all the
principle newspapers of the country
September 18th, and the facts stat
ed may be readily verified by refer
ence to them. If Mr.. Johnson's 9TH
er public statements are as mislead-
ing as those in this instance he is not

SEES MARVELLOUS CHANGE

Albuquerque, y. NJ, March %.
President David X. Boyd Of the Uni
y%crsity or New MeNico has just re
turned home from an adventurous
journey 10 the San Juan valley. Of
northwest New Mexico. Dr. Boyd for
six days was snowbound nc Chama, on
the u. n X. g. railroad, and for four
of those days he. with u few other
passengers. and the town of Chama
were wholly cut off from communica-
tion with the outside world. President
Boyd's visit to San Juan county was
unique in that II was not aschool
visiting trip, although he visited the
schools of the whole county. II was
for the purpose of discussing eduea-
tional needs with the business men
and farmers of the ,cction that he
made the trip. Large mems meetings
were held ia both Aztec and Farming

my opinion n of the most promising

needs will be supplied with time, and
probably very soon. We may then

same time, it has not given aid or

The president has issued a state

purpose of provoking war between
the people of the United Statcs and
the people of Mexico.
While there can be- no doubt that
false reports have been sent out from
border pointS-onc Of them, for eX-
ample, that General Herrera with D.
600 men, had deserted the Carranza
cause and had joined Villa for the
purpose Of making var on the Amer
lean forces under General Pcrshing-

have been "a reasonably accurate as
could be expected where rumors must

The city election next Tuesday will
ne doubt by the warmest city election
eve held IN Tucumcari. The policy
of Mr.. Israel is endorsed by Mr.. Wof-

hour. Mr.. Israel says he is in favor
Of closing the saloons at 10000 p. m;
while Mr.. Wofford says he is in favor
of closing the saloons at II 100 y. m.
This little difference should not cause
much excitement. but where the diff
ference lies is the fact that the can
didates on the good government ticket
have pledged themselves To support
Mr.. lsracl'S policy, while the opposing
candidates for council have expressed
nothing. and their views may not be
d, accord with the policies as set
forth by Mr.. Wofford. Every voter
should think the matter over carefully
and then vote for the mar YOU know
stands for what you believe is right.
Politics have no place in the city gov
eminent and the best man in each

cts are democrats therefore the demo-
crat, will have no trouble picking "a
man to suit themselves.
