SARGENT A BUSINESS MAN;
DE BACA JUST A POLITICIAN.

Everybody wanted Ed Sargent to be
state auditor except Ed Sargent him.
self. He had to be drafted. He was
drafted because he was regarded az
one Of the strong. clean. active bust.
ness men Of the state against whose
record not a breath of challenge had
ever been drawn. He was nominated
by the Republican convention as the
type Of business man that the intelli.
gent and Independent voter wants to
see In charge of the business office
OF the state.
There was no politics in Sargent's
nomination. Sheer fitness dictated It.
He has never been a politician. He
wouldn't know how to frame up q deal
to carry a precinct. He is Just an up
standing American who has made a
success of his own business by honest
methods and energy and hard work,
and who will carry into the office Of
state auditor exactly the same quail
fications in administering the affairs
OF the state.
De Baoa Demands Price.
His opponent, Marcus De Baca, was
nominated by the Democrats as a re-
ward for his POLITICAL activities
solely. For several years he has been
viciously fighting the Republican
party in Sandoval county, while claim
ing to be a Republican. The bosses
wanted him to continue the pose this
year in an effort to cause a detection
among Republicans In his county. but
he refused. He claimed the pay for
his services In other years and de-
manded that he be permitted to de
clare himself as a Democrat and that
he be permitted to declare himself as
a Democrat and that he be placed on
the ticket. The bosses finally had to
yield to his demands and nominated
him.
Do the voters of the state want a
man for auditor who is a business man
OF unimpeachable integrity and ac
knowledged ability in the person Of
Ed Sargent, or do they want q politi-
clan, whose nomination for auditor
was given at the point OF a gun, poll
tically speaking, as pay for purely po-
litical services OF unlaithfulness to his
own party?

the people defeat him then exist now.

Pecos valley who Ia universally re-
garded as the most unfit OF all the

the Democratic state convention. He
represents nothing but his own desire
to be commissioner OF the land office.
He lacks the cordial endorsement and

WOULD YOU HAVE BRAINS
OR MONEY At SANTA FE7

The only criticism which has ever
been seriously advanced against Hon.
Octaviano A. LarrazOlo, the Republi.
can nominee for governor in this
state, is that he is the biggest man
of his racial descent in the entire
Southwest and that he has been loyal
ly proud of his Spanish ancestry. In

tends over more than two decades

10 that ten years ago he quit them

They were glad enough to have him

times during the territorial days.
The trouble with o. A. Larrazolo
from the Democratic. standpoint is
that he has brains. There is no ADLER
lawyer in the Southwest, there is no
lbler public speaker in the Southwest.

the office in November, will be gov

RICHARDSON, THE UNTRIED,
FACES VETERAN HERNANDEZ

Benigno G. Hernandez, the Republi
a nominee for Congress, served il
Congress from March 4, 1918, 10 Marcel
4, 1915. During that time he had AZ
opportunity to vote on five OF the
eight preparedness and patriotic meas
ures which have come to be REGARDED
As the test Of patriotism and states
manlike vision.
Though he was IN untried man from
q far western state and went to Wash
ington without long association with
eastern interests which felt the men
ace OF the Hun. he proved his capac.
ity as a statesman and his fearless
ness as a patriot by voting for every
preparedness measure which was ad.
vocated during the time he was IN
Congress. He voted for increases IN
the army and increases In the navy
every time those increases we're pro
posed.
He was successful In securing a
large appropriation OF federal moneys
for the construction Of good roads in
the state Of New Mexico, under which
every year for years TO come there
will be a steady stream of federal
money flowing into the state 10 aid in
the development of New Mexico's road
system.
II he goes back to Washington next
March. he will vote with the Republi.
can party, that is, the war party to
continue In this wal until the Ger
mans have made an unconditional sur.
render and every drop of American
blood that has been shed is paid for
by another nail driven into German
militarism. Ben Hernandez will never
line up with the pacifists in Washing
ton. vino today are threatening 10 lose
in diplomacy what We have won With
the sword and the machine gun
Judge Richardson, his Democratic
opponent. is a lawyer who has a good
record at the bench and bar. His
capacity as a statesman has lever
been SO marked as to cause II to over
flow the confines of the Pecos valley,
where II has been kept hidden under
a bushel. He was nominated for Con
gress in the Democratic convention as
a consolation prize and first declined
and then decided to run when the
Democratic bosses wanted to avoid
having to put Lucero on the ticket.
He is absolutely untried. If he goes
to Washington he will be under the
domination OF Champ Clark and Kit
chin and Dent and other Democratic
leaders who fought all preparedness
measures, fought the declaration of
val on Germany and fought the selec-
tive draft. Richardson's chief claim
to recognition is a white vest and q
capacity for speaking endlessly.
A vote for Richardson is a vote for
q rubber stamp" congressman, who
will be under the domination Of the
pacifists.
A vote for Ben Hernandez will be a
vote for q Republican who voted right
On all wal issues and who will con-
tinue to vote right until the war u

At HEAD OF LAND OFFlCEf

In ~ interview given to the Santa

Of Socorro county, the Republican
candidate for commissioner OF the land
office. a great big honest rancher of

office l shall not fail to realize that

any control. and l propose to admin.
lister 1t in a strictly business way. To
do that, Of course. ear that my

political reasons. but must be selected
for the service they al render the
taxpayers of the state.
"The great range industry must be
taken care of. That great asset of

ARKANSAS FLOUR SAVING.

The Arkansas Food Administration has inst made known how the people or that State effected saving of 40,ob| par rels of flour, enough, it is said, to feed r. OPS. $50 Europeans for one month on the wheat flour ration that was permitted at that time to residents of the United States. The remarkable part of the story is that the flour was either in the nome bins or was in the stores waiting for buy CTS.
 It came about in this way: Alice Ken nedv Food Administrator for SebaStlan County. was impressed by the home ana store stock of flour at the time that the need of conservation of wheat became known. She issued a request that ca n householder and storekeeper turn back all flour over that needed for 3G days opera, tions under the new rule. The retail stores took the flour from the household er and the wholesalers from the retailers.
 The result to this appeal Was aatonlsh- ing, and she reported her success 70 Hamp " lliams. the Arkansas aiG to Food Ad- ministrator Hoover. He Was impressed, and Statewide appeal was made to coun- ty administrators. They in turn asked their people not to be outdone by any oth- CT county, and what seemed to be an end less chain of returning wheat flour was begun. But there was an end finally. When 1t appeared that the people were through, the return flour was sent to New Orleans and turned over to the Grain Cor poration in that city, and long since has reached France A check for S442,914 was sent to the Arkansas Food Admins tration and this in turn was distributed to those who had sacrificed their private stocks that the allies might be fed.
 Administrator Williams explains that this record does not reveal an unusual storage of flour in Arkansas, as most Arkansans buy flour in barrels and in the past have used much larger quantities than they do now. Especially, he says, farmers in the past have provided, when buying flour, an annual stock. MT. HooV CT and others interested in the worlds food supply have warmly congratulated Arkansas on this achievement.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.
