BURSUM RULES AT HOME

Ii. q. Bursum. republican candidate
for governor Of New Mexico, has been
to all intents and purposes governor
Of Socorro county for many years. For
ten year he has been mayor of the city
of Socorro. the county seat, and has
dictated municipal affairs there.
In MI Bursum's home town, on Sat
urday, October z, the municipal au-
thorities forced the Socorro bill poster
to cover up Democratic advertising ON
the bill board there, and forced the
proprietor of a Socorro moving pic
ture theater to discontinue the eXhi-
bition Of Democratic campaign slides.
Both the bill poster and the theater
proprietor were told 1t is said, that
unless the high-handed demands Of
Bursum's lieutenants were complied
with their licenses would be immedi-
ately revoked.
The attempt at gag-rulc is absolute.
iy without precedent In modern times.
1t smacks of Russian terrorism and
Is like some democratic papers who re-
fuse to give but one side OF the cam
paign to- their readers. II is unlike
AHeIlCthl NDtTNy III inc Tree anu SON-
ereign state Of New Mexico in the year
Of Our Lord, 1916.
This is n sample of rule in Bursum's
bailiwick. Do the people Of New Mex
leo want that kind Of rule in their
state?
Are they willing to place in power
a mar so partisan who stands for such
methods?
Are they willing that state positions
shall be filled with publicity-muzzling
political li~eutenants?
What could Quay counry expect to
receive from a Republican governor
who has demonstrated his partisan
ship in such a manner? What could
and Democratic county expect:
The poster which the Bursurn au-
thorities decreed must be hidden from
public view contained no personal ref
erences.
Yet Bursum's authorities were dead
afraid to have the people Of Socorro
see it. II might make some Of them
wake up.
WHY?

WHY DEMOCRATS SHOULD WIN

The Democrats claim that the work
ing men Of the country in general and
the organized labor vote in particular
will be overwhelmingly for Mr.. Will
son. This with the regular party vote
will insure the election Of Mr.. Wilson.
They also state that while they will
lose a few German-American votes yet
they make the claim that for each Of
such votes, they will gain double the
number from the regular Republican,
those who are American first" and
Republicans afterwards. The Demo-
Gratis are also giving out a little table
in which they figure out o sweeping
Democratic victory this fall, and yet
strange TO say they base their figures
on the votes brought out in the Re-
publican victory in Maine on Septem-
Der 18th.
That vote showed hat the Republic
cans polled a vote equal TO the Bull
Moose and Republican combined and
the Democratic vote Of 1000 which
Maine cast for Wilson in 1912 was in
creased to $500 this year, an in
crease Of more than one-third.
The Democratic leaders claim that
on this basis, conceding to Mr.. Hughes
Il vote equal TO that received by Roose-
welt in 1912 which was 4.l6s, 5s4 and
Mr.. Taft which was 3,439,5 Mr..
Hughes will receive 1908, 900; and in
creasing Mr.. Wilson's vote G 1903, 600
Of 1912, by one-third, Wilson would
receive s,4o4,O00 and carry Colorado.
Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Mary
land, Neb aska, Nevada, New Jersey,
New Mexico. New York, Ohio and w.
Virginia, with a total Of l44 ELECTORAL
votes, which added to the 173 cleo
tor1al votes Of the sure Democratic
states, that Mr.. Wilson will receive a
total Of at least 317 electoral votes
when he only needs 266 TO elect him
BY sure Democratic votes" Is meant
those states in which the Wilson vote
OF 1912 wa greater than the Taft and
Roosevelt vote combined.
