THE HOME TOWN.

Some folks leave home for money
And some leave home for fame,
Some seek skies always sunny,
And some depart in shame.
I care not what the reason
Men travel east or west,
Or what the month or season,
The home town is the best.
1.-THE home town is the glad town,
Where something real abldes,
IT'S not the money mad town
That all its spirit hides.
Though strangers scott and flout It,
And even jeer its name,
1t has a charm about it
No other town can claim.
1.-THE home town skies seem bluer
Than, skies that stretch away,
The home town friends seem truer,
And kinder through the day,
Light hearted or depressed,
And whether glum or CHEEKY.
Or struggle fit or weary,
|, like the home town best.
Let him who will go wander
To distant towns to live,
Of some things I am fonder
Than all they have to give.
The gold of distant places
Could not repay me quite,
For those familiar faces
That keep the home town bright

MR., HUGHES HAS EXPLODED THE
"KEPT-US-oUT-OF-WAR"
ARGUMENT.

Mr.. Hughes attack upon the kept
us-out-Of-war" argument has aroused
a story of enthusiasm.
Kept us out of war;" he demands.
"Why, there were nineteen men-good
American soldiers, shot down at Vera
Cruz, and many Mexicans were killed
by our men. That was war. More
over, it was a very ignoble war. I
have heard three explanations of the
Vera Cruz move.
First, 1t was explained that 1t was
made in order to compel somebody
to salute the lag-somebody who had
lnsulted us. But the flag was not sa-
luted and has not been to this day.
Then 1t was said that the salute was
not what we sought, but to prevent
the landing of a boatlOad Of ammuni-
ton intended for Huerta. The ammu-
milton, landed, however, and It has
been shown that 1t reached Huerta
in due season without interference on
our part.
when that reason was shown to
be untenable, a third one-and possibly
the real one-fnally was advanced.
1t was said that our seizure of Vera
Cruz was a move to compel the retire
ment of Huerta. 1t seems possible
that this Is true, although we had
promised the Mexicans that we would
not interfere in their affairs and told
them more than once that we wanted
them to handle their own affairs.
THAT is why the Mexicans could
not understand us and that is why
they show little faith in our promises"

The Republican Central Committee
on Saturday, Sept. %, 1916
rendered to
THE SANTA FE NEW MEXICAN
Ga daily newspaper at Santa Fe)

A onehalf-page advertisement to be paid for at a rate previously
quoted to the committee by that newspaper for display advertising.
The New Mexican refused to publish this advertisement on the himsy
preteXt that it contained lbelous matter.
The advertisement contained no hbelOus matter. Every political
advertisement issued by the Republican State Committee is first passed
upon by competent legal counsel, to insure it makes no libelous state
ment. This is done for the protection of the newspapers printing these
advertisements, and to meet the rigid requirement of the Republican
State Committee, that every Republican statement in this campaign
:be the exact truth. This advertisement had been so considered and
passed upon for publication as an exact statement of facts.
This advertisement contained a simple statement Of facts sworn
to by personal appOintees and friends Of Governor William c. Nc
Donald tending to prove that Governor Mcdonald and Howell Ernest
then State Bank Examiner, did not properly protect the interests of
the 500 depOstOrs who lost in the wrecking of the First State Bank at
Las Cruces. a..
The New Mexican is supporting the gubernatOrial twins, Me.
Donald and DE Baca. Daily it prints ibehOus matter directed against
the candidates of the Republican state ticket. II does not fear libel
suits, for its owner with his millions, can stand them.
But the Santa Fe New Mexican will not print the truth even at
advertising display rates.
The Santa Fe New Mexican re fuses to present any but one side;
in this campaign and that one side distorted.
The Republican State COMMITTEES considers it worth the money
this advertisement costs to present this fact to the readers of the Santa
Fe New Mexican who wish a fair, intelligent and honest understanding
of the men and issues in this election campaign.
You cannot rely on or trust a newspaper which refuses to print
the truth.
