ELEVATOR PEOPLE

F, M. IIigday, buyer for the Light
Brothers Elevator, nnounces that
his company vii soon establish q
permanent market here for broom
corn and Mexican beans.
This will be of great benefit to the
county farmers as heretofore Tue
umcari has Offered no stable market
for these two important products
Broom corn is turning III much
better in this part of the state this
year than was expected. One farm
cr near Quay who owns only loo
acres says his broom corn crop this
season will yield him at least 5000
A larger acreage was devoted 10
Mcxican beans this year than eve
before, some farmers OF the plains
planting as much as Is acres.
Wheat continues to come in every
day. Within the past week over
sixty loads have been purchased at
the elevator, the sellers realizing over
$1,000 for it.
Mr.. {. NJ. Light is here from Lib

with the elevator, which is now COM

Another Bull

Inc state Corporation CommiS-
sion is generally recognized as the
most expensive and the most tho.
roughly useless unit of this state
government, which is saving much
but the democratic member Of thai
commission did stir up a very strone
case IN an effort to establish three
cent railroad fair in New Mexico
to harmonic with PASSENGER fair in
adjoining states, and he actually had
a record made which could be used
to effect in the campaign for votes,
he democratic member of that com.
mission was n candidate for reno
mlnatlon but could not get as much
as a favorable mention. and there Is
m"ch speculation as to the reason
why.
It is charged, by a few, that GER
tam interests opposing three cent
railroad fares in this state are as
powerful in democratic councils as
in the republican organization. but

on the commission possible. was die
tated by those interests because if
a nomination had been made in the
convention there was a chance the
three cent railroad fare advocates
mlpht have slipped over
mat Explanation is probably as
good rs any IN view Of the fact that
the democrats made a fool trade
and have nothing to show for it..
ANYHOW, they threw away the best
on the state ticket, and re-
fused TO accept the chance to acquire
a real campaign issue. The demo
cratic candidate with a record Of
to get the people three cent
railroad fares would have made more
votes for the ticket than both the
progressive offerings.

APPLE FORECAST BY VAR
TIES BY BUREAU OF
CROP ESTIMATE

! The forecast of total apple produc.
ton this year in the United States
as reported by the Bureau of Cror
Estimates, is 67.679,ON barrels Of !
bushels each, as compared with
10, 10000 last year, of which not
quite 65 per cent were sold. In the
past ten years estimated production
has exceeded the present forecast
five times. Taking the country as a
whole, it thus appears that the apple
crop will be nearly ain average, but
II per CEN smaller than last years
'arge crop. The crop is larger than
last year in the Atlantic Coast
including New York and
Pennsylvania, and in the Pacific
Coast states, gut smaller in practical
ly all the interior staes except Mich
igan, which has about "a per cent
more than last year. For the first
time this year an attempt has been
made to forecast the crop by i'm
portant varieties.
The following estimates are based
upon reports from special lists of
apple correspondents:
Baldwin appears to be the lead
ing crop, with a forecast of 100000
barrels. Ben Davis. which was the
leading variety as to quantity last
year, falls to second this year. with
= production of 9.245.OOO barrels: the
Winesap a production of 3,7o4,0OO
barrels. a decrease from last year;
Greening $4,000, an increase over
year; Northern Spy 100000 bar

The Optic sees in New Mexico just
now a demand from the voters for
facts, fairly presented. The Optic
will present the facts in this cam
paign. They will be presented with
4 constant reference to and quota
ton from the records.
Take. as an instance, the miserable
wrecking of the First State bank of
Las Cruces: The record of that mat
ter, with which Governor Mcdonald
10 SO intimately connected, is a pub
tic record. 1t is a part Of the public
record of the last state Legislature
and as such is the property of the
people, 1t can be presented to the
pcop'c by n newspaper which cares
to publish the truth, without the
slightest moral or technical infringe
ment upon the law OF libel. 1t must
be presented to the voters, because
without the facts in that record our
people ano obtain a fair. complete
understanding of the character of
Mcdonald and OF the clements of
that character which seem to have
led him into the unhappy position in
which he finds himself in connection
with this bank failure. Mcdonald is
a candidate for public office. Under
the existing conditions, while he APP
pears on the democratic ticket as
candidate for liutenant-governor, he
is in fact. a candidate to succeed
himself as governor, and the peopie.
knowing the facts, So regard him.
His record as governor becomes as
a matter of course, a consideration
of foremost importance to all voters
IN this coming election who wish to
be informed and to be able to vote
inte'ligently.
The newspapers supporting Nc
Donald will refuse to print his rec
ord, either in connection with the
ruined First State bank of Las Cru
ces. or with the approval of loans of
state funds. or in connection with his
partial and selfish administration of
public land matters. or in the selec-
ton of men to conduct road work in
this state, or any of the rest of the
long list of what the Journal terms
mistakes" and which the New Mexi-
can. when it dares to refer to them
at all, calls "libels."
The Optic proposes to conduct a
fair campaign. So, we are convinced,
do the republican candidates and the
managers of the republican cam
paign. Let us consider what con-
stitutes a fair campaign:
Mcdonald has been governor for
four and a half years. The history
of our state government during that
period is the history Mcdonald has
dictated. He has been its head. Is
it not fair that the people should
know all the facts about that period
and the record Mcdonald has writ
ten? The Optic believes that presen-
tation of this record is fair.
Five al ago the democrats, led
by Mcdonald, conducted a campaign
of the grossest SANDER. Much of
that SANDER is now reacting upon
Mcdonald in his capacity as a dou-
BILE candidate. But neither McDon-
aid nor the democratic campaigners
understand that fact, as vet. They
have begun and evidently to
proceed with the same kind of a
now.
The Optic will print the record. 1t
will leave Mcdonald and the demo-
Gratis to speak and print the ISLANDERS.

wisdom of the people of New MEXICO

Those Otero Timber Deals

In discussing the democratic an
didates, it says: Former Governol
Miguel A. Otero, and Bonifacio Mon
toya, nominated, respectively, fol
state auditor and cooperation com.
missioner, have been leading pro-
gressives for several years. Gov
ernor Otero was the republican ex-
e~cutive i who eliminated Frank A
Hubbell, republican candidate for I'm
tied States senator as a county Of
ficer in Bernalillo county"
The publicity man forgot to men,
ton the fact that the removal was
for personal reasons, some say be-
cause Hubbell did not approve OF the
timber land deals, and that the courts
re-instated Hubbell in office. The
They also forgot to mention the fact
that there were a number of re-
movals called for by the facts, at
that time, which Otero did not make.
The democratic publicity should re-
fresh his memory as to the state
auditor on the democratic ticket by
reading the files of New Ma-ir0
newspapers Of years gone by, about
the time they had a little Sacra-
mento Mountain timber deal under
discussion, and, if the memory Of
the Monitor ma does not play him
false, we will finish the campaign
with considerable Silence as to the
democratic candidate for state aud
itor.
This publication is not for Hub
bell, but II seriously objects to hav-
ing democratic newspapers hold mp
anything done against him by the
republican governor Of the territory
of New Mexico as a disgrace. when
every newspaper a knows that at
the time it was considered more
honorable to have the head OF the
republican gang your enemy State

nation for state senator from the
fifteenth senatorial district, comprls-
ing the counties OF Otero, Lincoln,
Socorro and Torrance, when the re-
publicanS considered his candidacy
at their convention in the capital
city last week. 1t was fully under
stood that Lincoln county should be
honored with the nominee this time,
and the promise vas made good, and
not on.y was this county awarded an
especial distinction by this choice,
but a man was nominated who
stands pre-emincntly fitted for this
responsible office-onc of the most
responsible in the gift of the people,
As was mentioned i'll a previous is
sue, upon the occasion of Mr.. Tully's
announcement, he has had previous
%lature, having served a term in the
experience in the New Mexico legis-
lower house of that body. Further
more, he is a successful man, an edu-
Gated citizen, and ono with extreme
popularity among all classes of the
people of the county. He is a man
of ability and genuine craftsmanship,
and if his election follows this strong
commentator afforded him by the
state convention, he will be ever on
the a,ert to champion the cause of
this section of the great state in
particular and New Mexico in gen
eral. In Mr.. FULLY we have a Sue
cessful combination of stockman,
