CHANCE GIVES BOSSES
WAY TO BEAT WALTON
Democrat Leaders See Ray Of Light
IN Spanlsh-Amerlcan 0pp0sl-
ton to Lucero

Santa Fe, Sept. l9.-There is such
q thing as luck, according to some
Of the Democratic leaders, and one
Granville A. Richardson may break
into the lucky column with the poll
ticians. The Democratic leNders
have not been very enthusiastic over
the candidacy Of the Hon. W. ".
Walton, Of Grant county, for thu.
United States senate, but up until q.
few days ago they could see no way
Of "heading him off, as a member of
the organization counties had broken
away and, so far as his candidacy
WAS concerned, the organization
leaders were slightly demoralized.
The situation was just this:
The big boss Of the Democrats
anted TO name the man for the
state land office, and as his choice
was Chavez county man, and not
Davisson, who has the delegation
from there, il was considered desir-
able TO give the senatorial nomina-
TIN to Richardson, so as to make
TIE knitting Of DavissOn go through

with less protest from Chavez coun-
~ and the Pecos country. Billy Wal
ton broke into the arrangements by
securing a majority of the delegates
from Curry county, right in the heart
of the Richardson county, the en-
dorsement of the Mora county dele
CATION, heretofore an organization
county, and his friends in other
counties got so busy that things
looked bad for the gang, so bad, in
ascd, that few preliminary deals
Nre made with the Waltonitos,
which could be turned to good adj
vantage il they we're finally forced
10 accept the Grant county man. In
the meantime, losing hope Of being
able to land Richardson, the bosses
tried to induce Hanna to become u
candidate, but failed.
Lucero was crowding for the con
gressiona nomination and was AS
'sisiing Walton to a promotion" so
the situation was bad for the bosses.
If they turned down both Richardson
and Davisson trouble would start
down in the Pecos country, and il
they could not beat Walton they had
TO throw both the Chavez county
men in face of the endorsement BY
the voters of that county, which
would not be SO bad but for the me-
cessiiy Of giving a Chavez county
man the land office.
Just when things looked darkest a
ray of light broke through the pol
itical clouds. SpanishAmerican poll
ticians developed a strong opposi-
ton to Lncero for congress, which is
the only office he can make the at
tempt for. The bosses were quick to
accept this as a way out, ard there
is now strong movement on foot
to retain Walton as congressman,
nominate Richardson for the senate,
and put the knife through Davisson's
land office aspirations by nominat-
ing W. NJ. Atkinson, of Chavez
county. If this will satisfy Walton

pect to profiteer in the patriotism Of
the people of the state; so their dis
appointment was great when they ex-
amined into the record Of the expect
ed-to-be- Republican candidate and
found that he had not only supported
the president, but was the original
Support the president man, and
had been pointing the way to the
winning Of the war ever since the
first cloud appeared on the horizon
Of worlds politics.
This is given ont at this time be-
cause the Democrats are not going
to volunteer any information as to
that particular record by Senator
Fall. and their orators and spell
binders are now working overtime
fixing up their pleas for support Of
the Democratic ticket in such a way
as to give Senator Fall as little Gre
dit as possible.
But they can not get over the fact
that he is the original Support the
president" man Of the country, and
laid down the policy long before
there was any political eSpediency
possible. And the Republicans have
closely followed that same principle.

NON-ESSENTIALS
 TO BE CURTAILED

A new list of non-essential indus tries has been issued by the War In- dustries board, and several local con- cerns will be affected. Several are al lowed a percentage of ordinary pro- auction. and others are to cease pro- duction January, 1919.
 Some of the rulings are as follows
 Passenger automobiles, limited for khe last six months of 1918 to 25 per cent. of the production during the last six months of 1917, this on condi- tion that purchases of supplies be linn ited strictly to essentials that will match uD stock on hand. War work is recommended.
 Corset production for the last four months of 1918 is limited to 40 per cent. of the production during the last four months of 1917.
 Talking machine production is cur tailed, for the last four months of 1918, to 40 per cent. of the 1917 produc- ton. both as to units and tonnage, with the significant recommendation that talking machine manufacturers get into war work by January 1, 1919.
 Cutlery for the last four months is limited to 70 per cent. of the corre- spending production in 1917 which ba- sis must include government orders.

One side of the shaft will be en- graved with the following inscrip- tion:
 Sons of their great and glorious country, they fought for right, for liberty and civilization against Ger man imperialism, the scourge of the human race They died on the field of honor"
 On another side will be inscribed the names of the heroes as follows:
 Corporal J. B. Gresham. Evans vile.
 Private Thomas P. -Enright Pitts burgh.
 Private Merle Hay, Glidden."
 The cross of Lorraine is sculptured on another side. It is encircled in a synlbolical wreath. The cross bears the inscription, Franco United States 1917; from Lorraine to the United States"
 Bathelemont was in the direct line of fire in the operation in which the three Americans participated. It has not been thought appropriate to erect the column on the exact spot where the heroes fell. The work of provid- ing the recognition was supervised by M. Mirman, prefect of the department of Meurthe- -Moselle, where Bethele- mont is located.

RED DRIVE FOR WORN
 GARMENTS SOON

The Stratford Chapter of the Red c. oss will shortly call upon the peo- pie of the town to let them have clothing for the destitute inhabitants of the occupied districts of Belgium and France.
 Every kind of garment, no matter what it's size, whether for man, wo- man or child, will be gratefully ac- cepted by the Red Cross during it's second clothing drive. The only con- dition imposed Is that such garments shall be of strong material and suit able for keeping out the cold. Five thousand additional tons of warm clothing are needed to, cover the 10,- O00, 600 people in the occupied portions of Belgium and France and the Red Cross hopes to collect that quantity in seven days.
 All classes in the occupied region are in the most deSperate need of clothing. Even those who have money cannot obtain apparel. The people are now wearing garments made of four sacks and burlap and shoes made Of carpet Blankets, sheets, tablecloths, and other articles that had been fash toned into body covering, are no longer to be had. In his cable to the American Red Cross asking 1t to un- dertake the work of getting clothing for these people MT. Hoover chair man of the Commission for the Relief of Belgius, said:
 They are facing shame, suffering disease and some of them death fol lack of clothing this winter. The! must be helped. It can come only from us. Your first campaign yielded magnificent results, bringing in fully 5,OO0 tons of clothing in good condi tion. But much more is needed i these war ravaged people are to ge
 through the winter in decency ant safety. In the face of brutal coercion and a spiritual suffering they remain splendidly courageous. This courag
 challenges our charity. Let us matcl

FRENCH WOUNDED
 ALWAYS POLITE

Behind the French Lines, Oct. A. Even though suffering, French poilus emerging from the ether in the num- erous hospitals to the rear, have never been known to fail to bestow upon the operating surgeon the French offer of thanks by sentimental "Merci."
 American physicians have been as- tonished at the amazing regularity with which the poilus show their gratitude for their services. After the most painful undertakings and the most critical operations, the "Merci" is never forgotten when the soldiers of France "come to-"
 "The. potlu is an exception when it comes to undergoing medical and surgical treatment" said an Aneri- can physician. "He is the most un- complaining and in the same degree the most thankful patient in the hos pitals."

TANKS, CAVALRY AND MOTOR CARS
 AID IN ADVANCE
Supply Tanks Bring Up Gasoline and Machine
 Parts.

Behind the British Lines in France, Set. 4-(Correspondence of the As- B0Clated Press)-Tanks, cavalry and ermored motor cars have had a larger S>art in the recent fighting on the western front than ever before in the war. They have added greatly to the driving weight and speed of assault of the modern intensive attack, and their use has been developed tre- mendously by the British command since last year.
 The modern tank has twice the speed of the earlier type, and more than twice the radius of action. In- fantry is practically powerless against them. If infantry attempts to rush an oncoming tank, they are machne- gunned in the open. If they stay in their trenches, the tank straddles the line and enflades -Nem with direct short-range fire; if they retreat to the shellholes or dugouts, the tank lum- bers along right over them, crushing them into the ground and caving in the dugouts.
 The light high-speed tanks known as "whippets" are a development of this Hear. They are killing machines pure and simple, for they can bear down upon fortified points and bat teries at such a speed that there is little chance of getting tfF guns or men away in time. Their reserve ef fuel enables them to remain in action for full day without refilling.
 Moreover the advance of the whippets is quickly followed by the so-called supply tanks" which can cross any ground, bringing up reserve supplies of gasoline and ammunition
 The armored motor cars are neces' sarily limited in their radius of action owing to the fact that they must stick to the roads, but their great speed makes them very useful in pursuit and they have faculty of getting wei back behind the enemy front and do ing endless damage by takiSc com mand of vital road Junction and pre- venting the scape of enemy guns ant transport. Possibilities of infinite ad venture are open to the commanders of such detached units.
