ESPECIAL eoaREaPosDEAeE TO MORNING JOURNAL
Santa Fe, Oct. 3.-That the repub-
leans are determined to adjourn
politics" until the Liberty Loan cam
paign is over was made quite clear
early this morning when George r.
Craig, chairman of the republican
state central committee addressed
letter to Arthur Seligman. chairman
of the democratic state central COM
mittee, inviting the latter to have the
democratic nominees for the United
States senate and governor join the
republican candidates for these Of
fices In a Joint speaking campaing in
behalf of the Fourth Liberty Loan.
Mr. Craig's letter follows:
Santa Re. New Mexico,
October 3rd, 1918.
Hon. Arthur Seligman, chairman
Democratic state central commit
tee, Santa F'e, New Mexico.
NY Dear Mr.. Seligman:
My attention has been directed to
a resolution adopted by the recent
democratic state convention to the
effect that until the conclusion of the
campaign in behalf Of the Fourth
meeting shall open with an appeal for
sunnort Of the Liberty Bond sales.
The Republican state convention
today was opened with a Liberty
Pond address and it was made plain
that il was the sense of our conven-
ton that all political campaigning
should be made secondary to the IN.
terests of the Liberty BOND campaign,
and that, in effect politics be adj
iourned until the Liberty Bond cam
paign shall have been concluded.
In the fnrtherance of the wishes or
the Republican state convention and
its nominees, and with confident an
ticpation of your hearty cooperation
of the Liberty Bond subscription in
New Mexico, desire to invite you
in any effort to advance the success
TO unite with us in a joint speaking
campaign in behalf of the Liberty
Bond sales.
To this end we propose that Con-
gresham Walton and Senator Fall.
our respective nominees for the
United States senate and Hon. Felix
Garcia and Hon. o. A. Larrazolo, our
respective nominees for governor,
Immediately begin joint speaking
Bond sales. the four nominees to
travel together and speak once each
day, at the same hour, from the same
platform; this campaign to begin at
the earliest possible moment at which
arrangements can be completed, and
TO continue until the conclusion of
the Liberty Bond campaign on Octo-
Der 18th
Such speaking campaign, carried
out as proposed, would be unique
would doubtless receive ample pu-
blieity from the patriotic newspapers
of our state, and / have no doubt
would be welcomed by the commun-
tiles which the four candidates
could reach during the time at their
disposal. BY uniting In the campaign
as proposed, we will demonstrate our
mutual sincerity of purpose in Sc
curing a genuine adjournment of pol
itics for the success of our nation
at war, and at the same time will
achieve important results in an in
creased sale of the Fourth issue of
Liberty Bonds in our state.
Upon receiving your acceptance of
our proposal, which | await with con-
fidence, shall be glad to confer with
you by your appointment to complete
details of the speaking campaign as
outlined.
Yours for the Fourth Liberty
Loan,
GEORGE r. CRAIG,
Chairman, Republican State Com
mittee.
