WHERE DID THEY PUT 1T?

With a total Of approximately two
million dollars spent on state nd
county roads, New Mexico under the
present administration has seen the
most remarkable campaign Of modern
highway construction in her history.

a connected, systematic network Of
main trunk lines and branches. every

mercial use, State Engineer James 4.

got a dollars worth of road for every
dollar expended; has been on the lob

State Engineer James A. French re-
turned here yesterday evening after a
road inspection trip Of 1850 miles. He
visited several points where road con

Holland" as the state of Maine is
among the "ten strongest republican
states in the union. and they point TO
the fact that Mr.. Wilson only received
1000 votes in Maine in 1912, and
Senator Johnson, who appealed to the
voters of Maine 10 return him 70
Washington to support President Will
son, received $500 votes, which is an
increase of about 35 per cent over the
democratic vote Of 1912. They further
say that with the republicans divided
in 1912 Mr.. Wilson merely carried the
state by the narrow plurality Of 5000
votes, and that his percentage of re-
publican gain would wipe out the
2OO.O 600 plurality President Wilson re-
ceived in New York, the 100000 he
received in Ohio, and the 10000 ne
received in Indiana, and so on.
Furthermore, the democrats claim
hat Maine has not shared in our pros
perity to the same extent that the
great manufacturing. farming. and
mining states have, and this great
prosperity will cause those states to
vote against any change" in the nat
ional administration.
Furthermore, the republicans have
pledged themselves in their platform
TO repeal the Underwood Tariff Bill,
which would Of course. repeal the In
come Tax Law, thereby relieving the
millionaires Of the $500, 600 900 income
tax, which they now pay and which
would have TO be collected from the
masses as heretofore, thereby adding
that enormous sum TO the cost Of liv-
ing.
The democrats claim that the income
tax issue alone with the prosperity
issue will overwhelmingly reflect Mr..
Wilson.

ORGANIZED LABOR SHOULD
RESENT THE ASSERTION

The most important issue now be-
fore the public is the one sprung by
Mr.. Hughes in his pronouncement that
the administration has succumed TO
force in giving way to the railroad
men. This should, by all the canons
OF argument act as a boomerang. The
labor element could constru the asser-
non that the G.. o. p. is opposed to
laborS' tactics in gaining recognition
OF its claims. Organized labor could
resent the aspersion that it is revolu-
%tlonary and rebellious. Not to resent
the accusation at the polls, convincing
evidence that, having won a point
through a man kindly disposed to their
interest, not averSe to causing any sort
OF trouble to the whole country that
labor man win.

republican leaders with enthusiasm
and Mr.. Hughes is said to feel that

Of this victory campaign contributions

However, the democrats appear to

ON THE FIRING LINE

Santa Fe, Sept. 27.-That this is a
Democratic year in New Mexico; that
the Democrats Of the state are alert,
determined and aggressive, and that in
dependent Republicans-men who re-
fuse to stand for machine rule and
corruption regardless Of the fact that
il bears the party label-are with
them in their fight for public decency
and good government, have been con
clusively shown by the first speaking
tours Of the Democratic candidates.
At every point visited the candidates
were received with the greatest en-
thusiasm, and record breaking audien-
COS turned out to hear them.
The Pecos valley was invaded by
Governor Mcdonald, Lieutenant Gov
ernor f. c. dc Baca, Demco- ratio can
didate for governor, and former gov
ernor NJ. A. Otero, Democratic candi-
date for state auditor, and their trip
was a series of ovations. In his
speech at Roswell Lieutenant Cover
nor de Baca, the able, honest, up
standing. fearless American that the
people Of New Mexico are going TO
place in the executive office, made a
tremendous hit. Among other things
he said:
Il propose TO fight for the princi-
Piles Of honesty and justice, and to
stand by my party and my friends
when they are right.
"If that be partisanship, let them
make the most Of it,"
Former Governor Otero, the terri
torial executive who separated Frank
Hubbell from office IN Bernalillo county
on charges preferred by Frank w.
Clancy, then district and now Repub-
iican attorney general Of the state,
scored the indefensible records of Hub
bell and Bursum and said:
Five years ago | went out with
Governor Hsgerman TO do what we are
going to do today-defeat a corrupt
political gang that is trying to foist
on the people Of the great state Of
New Mexico two men who are un-
worthy of filling the exalted places
they seek.
II have known Mr.. Bursum many
years-knew him when ! was govern
" anu ut II SGl4dIOT from COCOTrO
county, and | had to watch him all
the time to keep him from putting
over such bills as the infamous Haw-
kins railroad damage suit bill. which
was %annulled by Congress after they
had passed II over my veto.
There is no comparison between
Mr.. Bursum and Mr.. de Baca. There
is not a blot on the es~cutcheon of f.
c. de Baca, and he is going to make
you the best governor New Mexico
has ever had"
In his speeches in the Pecos valley
Governor Mcdonald drove home the
fact that the Republican candidates
cannot get away from the records
they have made; that they must stand
on them in this campaign.
Not a vote less &. an 5000 Demo
cratic majority in the counties Of Edy
Chaves, Roosevelt and Curry is the
declaration of the enthusiastic Dem
ocrats Of southwestern New Mexico.
They expect TO make it much larger.
