Neither Side Sure

Neither party has a cinch on elect
ing the county ticket in Guadalupe
county. Old time political hacks who
have been getting their bit Of the tax
payers money so long that they think
they have vested rights, arc framing
up their nominations as usual, the
only difficulty being that there are
not enough offices to go around. A
deal has been made in this part OF
the county whereby the malcontents
have agreed to work together in a
common cause, for their mutual bcne-
fit. conditions being similar to those
existing in Mexico. There will be
many new voters in the county this
year, however-men who have ideas
of their own on county matters, re-
gardess of political affiliations, and
their ballots will be cast for the best
men selected from both tickets-Ft
Summer Leader.

Could Be Elected

From all indications throughout
New Mexico it seems that the Hon.
Frank A. Hubbell is taking the lead
over his opponent Senator Thos. B.
Catron for the United States Senate.
So far as Lincoln County is con-
cerned Mr.. Hubbel! is gaining ground
every day, especially is this true on
the east side of the country where
the majority of the countys votes
are polled and where Mr.. Hubbell
has many staunch supporters. There
are also many on this side of the
county who predict victory for the
gentleman from Bernalllo county In
selecting a man for the exalted po-
sition of United States Senator we
should choose good able man of the
strongest personality and character,
one who knows the needs Of the Sum-
shine State and one who is com
petent and will do their utmost in a
faithful performance Of duty. We
know that in the person of the Hon.
Frank A. Hubbelll we have man
who can qualify. We also know that
if he is nominated there is nothing
short of a miracle what could pre-
vent his eiection.-Carrizozo Outlook,

Got Ratified.

"Uncle" Lafe Mcdonald is 72
years old, and vet he Isl spright-
ly as any of his boys; in fact he
can go around some of them, and
they are not counted slow by any
means. Last Wednesday after
noon when a strange but beauti-
full young lady suddenly appear
ed before "Uncle" Lafe in a place
where he was not expecting any
ladies, and called for a glass of
water, he forgot his age, forgot
that there were distractions bet
ween him and the water cooler,
and bItted against the railing,
ran over the gate and almost
crippled himself in frantic,
though gallant effort to accomo-
date the aforesaid beautiful young
lady. He made one of his best
and most profound bows when
she smilingly thanked him for the
water, and he looked cheerful
and happy all the afternoon

Boy Sets Fire To House.

A little boy and a match came
near causing a disastrous fire at
the home OF Mrs. Parker in the
northeast part Of town.
The mother was working over
a cotton mattress when the little
son evidently playing with a
match, lighted same and set fire
to the cotton. 1t in turn set fire
to the inside Of the room and for
a time it looked like the house
was doomed. The fire boys re
sponded to the call and made a
hurried run but the neighbors put
the fire out with small hose at
tached to neighboring hydrants.
The furniture and kitchenware
was badly damaged by fire and
water but the house was saved.
Mrs. Parker is just completing a
valuable addition to the house
and the carpenters at work there
gave valuable assistance in put
ting out the fire.-Tucumcari

Echoes From The Convention

One of the echoes of the Dem
ocratic state convention comes from
the pen of Guthrie in the Fl Paso
Herald which is as follows:
Everything that was done by the
convention was in plain view" said
Judge N. B. Laughlin. of Santa Fe,
chairman Of the state central COM
mittee Nothing was hidden or con-
cealed. so far as ! know The meet
ing of the advisory committee
scheduled to be held at the close of
the convention. did not materialize,
owing to a understanding. The
hour was late. too and the delegates
were tired after many hours of work.
The convention was a good one the
best | ever attended" he added.
Notwithstanding considerable talk
that he is the logical candidate for
supreme court nomination, there was
nothing to indicate that he had
changed his plan not to be a candi-
date. He told me in Santa Fe last
week that he was not a candidate,
and that statement has not been re-
vised.

The Strongest

Senator Isaac Rarth has announced
himself as candidate for governor of
The State of New Mexico on the dem
ocratic ticket. Mr.. Barth is the
strongest candidate the democrats can
nominate. He is considered good
lawyer and rs an energetic and sue
cessful campaigner. Whatever divi-
sion of opinion may exist as to his
personal qualification to be governor
of New Mexico, there is none as to
mis- ability as campaigner and vote
getter.-La Voz Publica.

Putney Possible

News comes from Santa Fe, that
Mr.. Putney of Albuquerque will be-
come a candidate for Governor "un-
der certain conditions"
Ever since the great success of the
1915 Albuquerque Fair Mr.. Putney,
was talked of as the logical Dem
ocratic candidate and he was on
several occasions offered the nomi-
tion, practically unanimously, and en-
phatically declined it. This is of re-
cord, Now that Senator Barth is an
avowed and exceedingly popular can
didate for Governor, certain interests
are frightened, and not without cause.
1t will do these Interests" no good

Either personal or political mud.
Senator Barth is sans rcproach, and
the best and most flattering personal
recommendation tor Mr.. Barth'S no.
nesty and integrity came from a po-
litical enemy the late Judge Mann,
and Interests" who are "fornisnst"
Senator Barth as our partys can
didate for Governor can look up the
files of the Albuquerque papers and
also to the late proceedings of the
last two sessions of the New Mexico
State Senator. 1t is known all over
State, the Interests who will fight
and are fighting Senator Barth's
candidacy and in the end it will avail
them not, as the enmity shown will

Democratic party of New Mexico

Democrats Hopelessly Muddled

1t is reported from Santa Fe that
the Democratic press agent is res
ponsble for the attack upon the Re
publican legislature for the failure of
the militia organization in time of
need, acted upon suggestions, instruc-
tions, or information, provided for
his use by the heads of the Demo-
cratic machine at Santa Fe. 1t is
said that the heads of that same
machine recently ordered an attack
upon bossism as practiced in the Re-
publican party and then sent letters
to the favored few asking them to
meet secretly and assist in selecting
state ticket Those letters will
worry someone before long, too.-Las

Republican Success Assured

The certainty of Republican sue
cess this fall is causing a rush of
aspirants for Republican nominations.
Nearly all those so far mentioned
are good men. deserving of the sup
port of the party, and no doubt Sc
lections will be carefully made for
the best interests of the party with
no hostility shown toward any OF
the aspirants. A nomination is often
times a matter of superior general
ship in handling a campaign, and the
defeated candidates must take into
consideration the fact that the party
leaders arc oftentimes forced to re-
ject men of equal worth with those
selected because of some temporary
political expediency.-Las Cruces Citi-
zen.

The Mexican Situation

During the past week there ha,
been a loss to the Carranza forces
brought about by an attack of Yaqui
Indians who killed several hundred
of the Mexican soldiers and those not
killed by the fire of the guns were
burned at the stake
Threatened attacks of bandits from
over the border have brought the
American troops to position of read
mess to make an attack the moment
the bandits show themselves on our
soil. The report is persistent that
Villa is heading a band of these men,
though the story of his death is
still persistent. The troops from the
eastern states still pour toward Ell
Paso and the trains are daily bring
ing new men to the front. The Ame-

office. So far we know of four can
didates for Senator, three for Cover
nor and as many and more for the
other state offices.
The Democrats as yet do not seem
to have worried over any OF the Of
fices. Senator Barth is, so far, an
almost unanimous choice for Cover
nor, and there are several candidates
for the state offices but outside of
Hon. l Barth for Governor and Prof

of Public Instruction there seems to
be norush to get in tie political

Republic born one hundred ant
forty years ago.
Mr.. Hernandez speech pleased the
Capitol Heights Republicans nightil,
and when hk sat down Attorney
James NJ. Wood arose and moved that
he be rendered a vote OF thanks for
it. Instead OF expressing themselves
in the usual manner, every man in
the house arose and stood for mo-
ment.
The Meeting was presided over by
President Gibbs of the Capitol
Heights Republican Club. who intro
duced Mr.. Hernandez in short
speech which made the Southwestern
Congressman feel at home.
The laudatory EDITORIAL reads as
follows:
A man who is winning for him
self an enviable reputation not only
as the representative OF the growing
State from which he comes, but as
a fairmindcd. farseeing member OF
Congress, is the Hon. B. c. Her
nandez OF New Mexico. The People
of the new southwestern Common
wealth made no mistake in choosing
him to represent them in Washing
ton. and it is equally certain that
they will not fail to renew their faith
in him at the coming election.
While Mr.. Hernandez is an TN
faltering adherent to the principles
upon which the Republican party
rests its claims to popular approval,
he is fair toward those who differ
with him in the solution of political
problems. This was shown i'll the
able speech delivered by him in
Capitol Hights last Monday night.
Mr. Wilson'S failure to measure up
to the standard of craftsmanship set
by both parties in the past for men
who aspire to Presidential hOnors
was convincingly discussed by the
New Mexican Congressman without
the uttcrancc OF an unkind word. His
address from first to last was an ad-
presentation Of the cause Of
RepubllcaniSm.
In the case Congress continues in
session during the summer and NJ.
remains in Washington,
it is not to he doubted that he will
frequently be called upon to address
Republican gatherings in the Fifth
Congress ional district, His knowl-
edge Of public affairs, especially those
of Mexico about which so many peo-
pie know so little and about which
he seems to know so much, coupled
with forceful and convincing man
ner OF setting forth facts, make him
a man whose voice will be heard with
gladness by men of all parties in the
coming campaign and whose work
will tell for the party that Stands
for something,'-the party headed
by Hughes and Fairbanks,

has climbed over obstacles apparently
insurmountable at one time, and has
pioneered the way for a return to the

is PASSING

It is a fact, that where formerly al
most everyone was more or less op-
posed to labor unions, the general SEN
timent OF the whole country is under
going change. Men who few years
ago we're most bitter opponents OF the
Unions, are today advocating that the
unions be given an opportunity to
work out the true democracy for
which they stand. American ideals
stand for a perfect democracy; a per-
feet democracy is that form of govern
ment which guarantees to all an equal
chance. More and more. men who
have the welfare OF the nation at heart
are coming to realize that trade unions
stand for equal opportunity for ali, .
and that instead of being the "unreas-
uoing monster" as it was formerly
considered, the labor union is far
more responsible in its demands and
more inclined to grant a measure of
justice, than is the representative of
