OFFERS HIM $500
TO PROVE MISUSE
SAYS HE WILL NOT STAND
IDLY BY AND SEE
THE REPUTATION OF A
MAN LIBELED BY A FALSE
DECLARATION

II will give Governor Mcdonald
$500 if he will prove that Mr.. Bur
sum got one cent of graft money
out of the building of the Mogollon-
Socorro county road in 1900"
This is the unequivocal statement
made to the Silver City Enterprise
by Uncle Harry Hermann, for thirty
years a resident of Mogollon and a
lifelong Democrat.
=! don't want to be mixed I'D in
politics." said Mr.. Hermann, in ex-
planation of his statement, "but |
will not stand idly by and see the
reputation of man libeled by a
false declaration, when l know alb
solutely of my own personal knowl-
edge that it is not SO. Governor
Mcdonald either has not investigat-
ed the facts or else he is willfully
misrepresenting them, and l will
give him or any other man $500 il
he will prove that Mr.. Bursum used
the public road fund for graft pur-
poses. Why these men will make
these statements when they know
that we in Mogollon who were three
when the road was built, know better
is more than | can understand. Not
only did Mr.. Bursum not profit BY
the building of the road, but he
actually lost money, as he gave per-
sonally of his private funds to help
in the construction of the highway
when the funds which were made
quate from the beginning, for such
a huge undertaking, began to run
low.
Il was running sawmill in the
Mogollon mountains just above the
camp at Mogollon and had built 4
private road to my mill at my own
expense. costing me about $1,000.
They used part of this road for the
Mogollon-Socorro road. They had
only small sum of money to start
with which later was added to by
appropriations, but the undertaking
was a large one, and anyone who
has tried to build mountain roadways
knows that the actual cost nearly
always exceeds the estimate. 1t was
so in this case, and Mr.. Bursum
went down in his pocket and helped
out with his own private funds. But
even this was soon eaten up. But
they built a road that has lasted,
and even today the Bursum road
across the mountains is one of the
best examples of mountain highway
construction that We have in the
state.
II want further to say that I have
knwon Mr.. Bursum as a man and boy
for thirty years; that l have never
known him in that time, to do little
thing, dishonorable thing, or one
that reflected on his honesty. And |
have had close personal and business
dealings with him for twenty years
of that time. The people of New
Mexico, if they believe these lies
that are told about him, are doing
a good man wrong. l don't care
what his political fortunes are, but
| will not stand by and see a mans
reputation slandered when / know
that the man is as honest and clean
as any man l have ever known. AS
| said before, | am a rock-ribbed
Democrat; have always voted the
Democratic ticket, and | believe the
men at the head of the campaign
really do not realize the real char
acter of the man whose reputation
they are trying to wreck"
Uncle Harry Hermann is one of
the pioneers of New Mexico. He
came to Mogollon in 1886, and for
thirty years conducted a saw-mill,

To Give Rousinn Reception

Silver City, Oct. 26.-Grant county
Is prepared to give H. o. Bursum,
Republican candidate for governor,
and his campaign party, a rousing
reception tomorrow. 1t is too early
to forecast the election returns in
this county, but Republicans are
working as they have never worked
before. Many men prominent in pro-
fessional and business lines here are
working hard for Republican sue
cess. Thes include Mayor Percy
Wilson, brother-in-law of w. B. Wal
ton, the Democratic nominee for
congress. Mayor Wilson spoke to
ESQ enthusiastic members of the
young Mems Republican Club Tues
day evening, urging support of the
entire ticket.

that Those who walk in mud have

describes the position of the DEM

reached a point where each COB of

moves which he said have causet
this nation to be held in contcmp
by practically all the world powers
Many expressed the belief that il
was ont of the greatest addresse!
that Senator Fall has ever made
in New Mexico.
1t is hard to imagine a reception
more royal than that accorded te
the party by Lincoln county. Tina,
for a great number OF years ha:
been the home of Governor Nc
Donald.
From the first meeting held on
Friday morning until the close al
Carrizozo on Saturday night, there
were large audience and unboundet
enthusiasm. Meetings were held on
Friday night both at Hondo and
Lincoln and at neither place would
the buildings anywhere near hold
the people who sought to attend.
The meeting at Carrizozo on Sat
urday night was held in a motion
picture theatre which was Just be.
ing completed. The auditorium is
thirty feet in width and one hun
dred feet long. All of the space bet
ween the edge of stage and back
wall was literally packed with men
woman and children. Even the aisles
were filled as we'll as the space be-
hind the back seats.
More than one woman with a
baby in her arms stood and listen
ed through all of Bursums speech
Judge w. E. Lindsey, candidate for
lieutenant governor, followed Bur-
sum on the program.
These two were the only state
candidates in the party. J. Fl. Wag-
ner candidate for superintendent of
publis instruction, having sustained
a broken rib in the automobile
smashup near Carlsbad and gone to
his home in Santa Fe.
Otero county was disappointed d
over the inability of Bursum to fill
his engagements there. Meetings
had been arranged at Cloudcroft, La
Luz, Tularosa, and Alamogordo, but
he was compelled to forego the
pleasure of talking to these people
in order to keep his engagement
with Col. Roosevelt, and it was part
ly on account of Bursum's repeated
requests that the colonel consented
to make the trip into New Mexico.
Notwithstanding that Bursum was
missing, the crowd that attended
the big assembly hall was the big
gest political gathering that l have
seen in Alamogordo in nine years.
Bursum returned from Albuquer-
que in time to fill all of his Dona
Ana county engagements beginning
Thursday morning Nine meetings
were held closing at Las Cruces
last night, and all of them were
we'll attended and characterized by
Every seat was filled
in the armory at Las Cruces, and
more than two hundred were unable
to find places to sit. No audience
that Bursum has had in the state
was more responsive and demon
stractive, or apparently more tho
roughly in sympathy with the views
and policies which he expressed.By
actual count he was interrupted by
appluse twenty-nine times. Unless
| fail utterly to read the signs Alright
the lection will develop into land
slide for Bursum. Everywhere he
is gaining in strength and rising
steadily in the estimation and res
pect of tie people of the state. He
will be the next governor of New
Mexico. The people of New Mexico
have so decreed

hundred voters attended, nearly all
of whom declared themselves as be-

THE ROMANCE OF THE
UNPAID DRUMMER

1t is Tomantic-the story of how the
missionary blazes the trail for the mer-
chant.
Il go back to Africa to try to make
an open path for commerce and Chris
tianity," said Livingston. And along
the Christian path which he opened
now run automobiles and motor trucks
and railway trains bearing the fabulous
wealth of some of the richest commerce
in the world
The first missionaries in Nyassaland
bought basketful of grain. The ma
tives looked at the pretty beads that
had been paid them for the grain. went
out to their fields and started to plant
and cultivate as If their lives depended
upon it. Now a score of steamers is
needed to carry the thousands of tons
of grain to the coast, where it is re-

shipped to the far parts of the world.
A missionary obtained a solitary
coffee plant from the Edinburgh Bo-
tanical Gardens and placed it in the
soil of Central Africa. From this sin
gle plant great plantations have sprung
until the export of this one product
amounts to thousands of tons annually,
and Scotch Coffee" has become a
staple African product.
In nine cases out of ten the first
white man to blaze the trail in a
strange country is a missionary. He
goes on ahead, wins over the cannibals
with rock candy and beads, and pre-
pares the way for the trader. Mission
aries did the pioneer work in Africa,
the islands of the South Seas, the Paci-
fic islands and most of the Asiatic con-
tinent
You can thank the missionaries for
your arrowroot biscuits. Before the
Christian pioneers arrived in the New
Hebrides, the arrowToot plant grew
wild and went to waste. Now the ma
tives, taught by the missionaries, culti-
vate and sell the plant by the thou
sands OF pounds and gratefully dedi-
cate the proceeds to the support of
Christian work.
India rubber was discovered by a
missionary. Today the United States
imports about s75,000,OO0 worth of In
dia rubber.
The soil of India is in many regions
upturned by mission plows introduced
through industrial mission stations.

Easy Way to Keep
Your Hair in Curl

II you have trouble keeping your
hair in curl. you'll do well to try plain
with a clean tooth brush. drawing this
down the full length of the hair from
root to tip. The hair will dry in the
prettiest waves and curls that you can
together natural. Instead of that dull,
dred-out look which the heated iron
gives, the hair will be bright lustrous
and beautiful.
Liquid silmerine is of course perfectly
harmless to hair and scalp. and is
neither greasy nor gummy. IF you will
get a few ounces from your druggist
you will find 1t quite inexpensive to use.
