The convention had Congressman

The convention had Congressman Augustine Lonergan as chairman.
 Judge J. P. Futile presented MT. Spellacy's name, which was seconded by David E. Fitzgerald. Later the nominee, who recently was hurt, ad dressed the delegates, saying at the outset that while he needed crutches, ''the Democratic party needs no prop to lean on." Referring to the Repub- lican convention MT Spellacy said:
 "Our Republican friends have had their squabble. thought for whils that the versatile King of Bridgeport and the sagacious Roraback of Canaan had decided to fight in order that the state might be made safe for Democ- racy. However, the pacif1cists were in the majority and the fight has been adjourned"
 MT. Spellacy said "the business of the people is to win the war" and that the president can best be sus- tained in his great trial by the ex- pressed approval of the people of the United States, Ito be thundered across the seas, by Democratic sweep.
 MT. Spellacy declared his opposition to a federal prohibition amendment, but he favored equal suffrage IS 'the extension of right and privilege too long deferred" He favored a short campaign and attention to cus- tomary duties until next fall. The nominee praised President Wilson and demanded that the national adninis- tration be endorsed that the Hun may understand that there is no di- vision here"
 MT. Lockwoods name was offered by Lynn W. Wilson of Bridgeport and seconded by J. F. McDonough ot Naugatuck; that of MT. Brooks by H. P. Koppleman of Hartford; that of former Senator Charles S. Avery oi

MORE MOISTURE

The situation in regard to
moisture is much better than
when we wrote last week. The
first four days of the past seven
were increasingly rainy, cul.
minating on Monday in rains
that covered nearly all the coun-
ty. There are few spots that
were not favored, but they are
not of large area. While num-
Der of localities did not get
enough rain to entirely relieve
the situation, many localities
now have had ample rain. There
were many heavy rains that
covered large areas on Monday.
and Monday night there was a
steady rain of from two to three
hours duration that covered the
larger part of the county. At
Estancia, with a light shower in
the afternoon. the precipitation
was recorded at II Of an inch.
The night rain was of about
three hours duration at Estancia.

EARNED A REST

The Mountainair Independent
takes to Brother Bursum's no
politics" camouhage like a cat to
cream. The Messenger thinks
there is no possible chance for a
Democrat to squeeze into office
in Torrance county, that the
present officers are the best ever,
and that therefore the scheme to
cut out elections is just the stuff.
AS to the Torrance county incum-
bents, the News-Herald will say
that if any of them are not fitted
for their jobs, they have had the
horse sense to choose deputies
who are qualified. But what
about the state? Not longer than
two years ago the editor of the
Independent was quite sure that

THE RAILROAD
IS WITH Us

We have with us today abou
one hundred and twenty five
people from Santa Fe, to joir
with representatives of the N
M. G. Railway Company ano
people of the valley in raising a
beautiful flag at the N. M. C.
yards, and other festivities ar
ranged locally.
The furnishing of this flag and
the putting up of a fine cedar
pole seventy-five feet in height
is an act by the railroad manage
ment that will be appreciated by
the people of Estancia and the
county. 1t is a further earnest
that the company considers itself
part of the community, with
interests in common with the
people of the valley.
This a good time to say that
the present owners have per-
formed far more than they prom.
ised in rehabilitating the road,
and they are still at it. They
have also given us the best SER
vice we have had for years.
A large majority of the people
of the valley appreciate what has
been done and are doing all they
can to reciprocate.
The News-Herald always took
the position that the service
given by the road, even at its
worst, was vastly better than
none at all. Therefore this pa
per takes more than ordinary
pleasure in noting the great i'm
provements in the road and in
the service given, and we hope |
the owners will find ample re-
ward in the future when the N. |
M. C. will have developed into a
trunk line and one of the most
important railways in the state.

AS TO POLITICS

Two weeks ago the Willard
Record gave evidence of having
been nettled by reference ir
this paper to the fact that while
mentioning some men seeking
office in the Republican party of
the county it overlooked some
others. After mentioning the
Others, the Record wants to know
in a querulous tone of voice
where the News-Herald stands
politically.
The matter was not mentioned
in last weeks issue because the
columns of the News-Herald
were crowded with more impor-
tsnt matters.
Nearly all readers of the News
Herald understand perfectly we'll
where the paper stands political
ly, and for the information of
the Record we will say that it is
absolutely and strictly independ-
ent. Its political action is not
ordered according to the revenue
in sight, and it is under no obli-
cations to sneeze when any poll
tician or bunch of politicians
take snuff. 1t is wholly free to
judge men and measures accord
ing to their merits, and will do
SO honestly, without fear or
favor.
If Brother Bursum's innocent |
plan of mo politics" is not
adopted this year, the paper will
take occasion, as the political
campaign progresses, to call at
tention to specific matters in the
records of the two principal par
ties in the state and will endea-
vor to be impartial in so doing.
In such event the Record may
gain further information by
watching the columns of this
paper.

putting it at two inches. The rain
was accompanied by a severe
electrical storm, and there was
some loss of live stock by light
ming, but no other damage has

although we have no direct re-
port, must have shared in the
Mondays rains. Both crops and
range will be immensely bene-
fitted by these rains.
