Secretary Baker Would Remove All Re

afternoon at an executive session in be.
half of his plan to give the president
unlimited authority in the army bill as
to the number Of men he may call out.
Under the army law "a ii now stands,
the president is authorized to call out
only approximately 100000 fighting
men. The purpose of the amendments
which Secretary Baker prepared for the
military committee is to remove all re-
strictions and provide for an army as
large as the United States needs to de-
feat Germany, whether it be 100000 or
even 100000.
As far as can be learned Secretary
Baker still holds to his view that there
is no need Of extending the draft ages
beyond present limitations, twenty one
to thirty one.
In connection with Provost Marshal
General Crowder's plan to put all idlers
to work, however, some sort of plan
to compel useful service of labor of all

Paris, Thursday, May 23.-An Amer

chosen from among the best American
pilots, in the future will help to defend
Paris against enemy air raids. Offer of
this help was made spontaneously by the
chief of the American aviation service
and accepted by the French government.
An official announcement says the
American offer was made after a Ger

'The pilot who is destined TO fly the
single scatter machine of the air force is
discovered almost as soon as he has
been baptized in the air.
ITO begin with, he must have passed
certain physical tests with a hundred
per cent result. Many wise men, doctors,
and organizers, sit in eonclave over the
tests. They define certain factors that
go to make up a perfect airman--per
feet sight, age "a or Its equivalent in
physical makeup, a total abstainer,
good hands, quick brain, keenness, conf
dence. II is odd how much emphasis is
placed on mans hands by the examin-
ers, who argue that there is as much
difference between flying a scout and an
ordinary machine as there is between
riding thoroughbred and a cart horse.

Also, the fact that Mr.. Wilson was
willing to accept the election of a

silence he tacitly admitted to be UNI
qualified for the responsibilities OF
that high position, in order to control

upon the people of this state that the
time has come when it is necessary
for the people to act vigorously in de-
Tense of their constitutional right to
select representatives who will repre-
sent the people. not an Individual; and
to speak imperatively in behalf of a

eminent of men.

Gratis, with every advantage in their

ELECT THE REPUBLICAN TICKET

Two years ago the Journal opposed
the republican state ticket. 1t may be
said without immodesty, that the OPP
position of this paper had something
to do with defeating that ticket, our
opposition was due to two facts, First,
the convention that nominated the re-
publican ticket two years ago was not
an uninfluenced expression of popu-
lar will; and second, the ticket nomi-
mated including men whom we did not
believe the best men for the public
service.
This year the republican convention
of nearly 900 delegates, was great
popular convention. No man con-
trolled it and no group of men. 1t was
Embossed, and 1t nominated, man by
man. the strongest set of candidates
ever offered to the people of this
state; There is not an unclean man
on the ticket: not a man whose public
record will not bear the light of pitt
less publicity; not a man but is COM
petent to perform most effectively
the duties of the office to which he
aspires.
The democrats, on the other hand,
held convention dominated by two
little groups Of bosses, The federal
office holding group was one, and the
Walton DaVisson-Crist.Gar group
of petty politicians who made up the
other. The rank and file of the dem
ocratic party had nothing to do or say
with choosing the ticketr-with. the in
evltable result. The democrats have
offered to the people the weakest tick

him for best service to the people.
Davissons record was made plain
to the people two years ago when he
was defeated for land commissioner.
1t was rank foolishness to attempt
again to force him on the people. 1t
was necessary, apparently, for the
democratic advertising agencies to lie
about Long, the candidate for school
superintendent in order to get up q
biography strong enough for placing
him before the people. Garcia, the
candidate for governor, an ignorant
country merhchant, the willing tool
of Crist, is as utterly unqualified for
the executive office as is Walton for
the senatorship. He was the creation
of personal politics and boss rule; not
of a desire to offer to the people COM
petent public service. Richardson, the
candidate for congress. running on a
loyalty" issue, yet convicted by his
own public utterances of the belief
that we must next turn our guns on
England Marcos C. de Baca, the per-
petual officeholder of Sandoval coun-
ty, offered 10 the people as the dis
bursting officer and censor of all fl
nances of this state its counties and
institutions, is an insult to the intell-
genee and business Judgment of our
people.
In other words the democrats this
year have made all the mistakes Of
the old loss-ruled republican conven-
tons of former years. Their leaders
have abandoned independence, judg
ment and common sense in the lust
for personal power. And in this to-
boggan slide for the political bottom,
they have gone further than the re-
publcans ever went in the worst pc
riod of our territorial days.
For these reasons the Journal be-
lies that the democratic ticket
should be defeated tomorrow, from
top to bottom; and that every man on
the republican ticket should be elected.
The indications all point to that as
the result. 1t should be an over
whelming endorsement of political
common sense and honorable effort in
behalf of the public service, and an
overwhelming rebuke to political
idiocy and reversal to the worst in
party boss rule.
