Another word about Mr.. Samuels.
He has his photograph on a poster
upon which we read the following
message: "A vote for Samuels is
an endorsement of President Wilson.
Win the war;"
Samuels must know that this
statement is, a deliberate falshood,
the more despicable because it's pur-
pose is to deceive the unthinking.
The Non-partisan league principles
are the same everywhere. While

TOwnleyism.

TOwnleyism.
l have before me a card upon
which is photograph of Mr.. Sam
uels. Below the picture are the
words, III. F. Samuels, candidate for
governor of Idaho" November 5,
1918. Evidently, Samuels is either
afraid or ashamed to state on this
card the party to which he belongs.
He does not even style himself
farmer candidate or Townleyite can
didate. On the back of this card is
the following message: Dear Neigh
Dor: / am for our one country, one
flag, one purpose. To win the war.
Let US have true democracy at home
as well as abroad. To do this Idaho
must be freed from special privileges.
ege."
To win the war is a catch phrase
at present. Samuels feels safe in
using it. He does not explain what
he means by, true democracy, but
leaves the Dear neighbors" to infer
thak he means Townleyism. Idaho
must be freed from SPECIAL privileges.
BY Whom? BY the farmers, if
Samuels is disciple of Townley.
Not by the farmers in friendly and
brotherly cooperation with mer-
chants, artisans, wage earners, build
ers, capitalists, lawyers, doctors,
teachers, etc., must the state be freed
from the domination of big biz; but
by Townleyites arrayed in hatred
against all other classes.
What selfish, mean, contemplate
doctrine this is.
Samuels is "for our one country,
one flag, one purpose" Just what
he means by these expressions no
one knows. 1t may be inferred, how
ever. that he means a sTownley
country, a Townley flag, a Townley
purpose.
Mr.. Samuels, your message. does
not have the true Democratic ring.
Genuine Democrats with the Will
sonian spirit cannot vote for you.
The Nampa Record has published
a biography of Samuels under the
caption "Samuels the Builder" This
biography does not say word about
Samuels' political principles or be-
Hefs. 1t may be that the Record
thinks that politics is adjourned"
but at the same time, the Non-par-
tisan whisperers are still in the field

ers "a falsehood on its face) and that
the other Is per cent controlled the
state and nation. He would tell the
farmer that the state legislature was
rotten, dominated wholly by the big
interests; that the merchant robbed
him; that the miller short-weighed
his grain and stole his substance;
that the banks grew fat and rich by
reason of the exorbitant ratey of in
terest the farmer paid him; that the
tax-gatherer laid a heavy hand upon
him; that sugar factories robbed him
shamefully and made millions out
of his sweat and toll; in short, that
the hand of every. other man was
against him, and that his sole re-
naming hope depended upon his
joining this Non-partisan league,
which would in a short time gain
control of the government of state
and nation.
G. r. Jeppesen, who was the So
licitor and organizer for this section
last summer, carried with him copy
of President Wilson's book "The New
Freedom" This book he opened &C.
casionally telling the farmer { as
he told mel that President Wilson
was back of the league, that he was
in fact a Non-partisan. He never
read from President Wilson's New
Freedom" for the simple reason that
there is not a sentence in it that har-
monies, either in thought or spirit,

OF the $1,000 that the farmer
pays, the solicitor pockets $500 as
his commission. In case he succeeds
in catching ten farmers a day, (not
an uncommon thing in pro-German
or Socialistic communities) his COM
mission nets him $4,000, $1,000 every
thirty days-a tidy sum for
farmer who never takes his coat off.
Townley said in Idaho Falls that he
paid for the Fords driven by these
solicitors and organizers. In other
words, the farmer pays the solicitor
transportation.

New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1918-09-20
FUNDAMENTALLY SOUND

BENJAMIN F. Pankey to whom pub
lie attention has been directed to a
great extent of late because of the
repeated mention of his name as the
most probable next governor of New
Mexico, has a clear record in this
regard and not a trumped up one
such as many politicians are now
e~ndeavoring to acquire in order to
appeal to the enlightened public
judgment.
Always maintaining that temper
ance is a moral question. like reli-
gion or the equality of man, Mr..
Pankey has been a consistent sup
porter of the temperance movement
almost from its inception. He voted
for a dry Kansas, and whenever the
opportunity presented cast his in
f~luence in favor of sobriety. In the
state legislature of 1906 of which Mr..
Pankey was a member in the Senate,
a vote for a state constitutional
amendment on The liquor question
was all but submitted. Party action
by both leading parties was stifled
by those politicians who feared to
go before the people on the issue, a
matter which is O almost forgot
ten history in view of the sweeping
v~indication which the state vote
later gave to those who maintained
that our population was sane, but it
is told by those who were a party
to the caucases at the time. that
Senator Pankev was obstinate in his
insistence that the state should have
early opportunity to vote dry.
However that is not a matter of
official record, and being a matter
of hearsay as it is. is not of much
value to the vot r bent on a scrutiny
of the man for whom he is thinking
of casting his ballot for a high Of
flee. A better way to Judge is by
practice for it is an old and true
saving that deeds speak louder than
words. and the time as we have

OUR INDIVIDUAL PART

Some observers think that the most
characteristic thing about the Ameri-
can soldiers in France, something
which astounds the enemy and ex-
cites the admiration of our allies, is
the capacity of the American sol
diers to think and fight individually.
The German fights successfully only
in mass formation, in organized
bodies, while every American soldier
has an initiative and independence
of action which gives him remark
able efficiency in open fighting. They
are not senseless cogs but each is
an individual working unit in a great
fighting machine.

TO THE VOTERS OF THE STATE
OF NEW MEXICO

In view of the great importance
of the approaching election, l feel
impelled to attempt to say something
to the voters as to the wisdom and
necessity of electing a Republican
Senator and a Republican Reprrsen-
tative in Congress.
Without at this time questioning
the sincerity of President Wilson
although many people are doing SO,
when he declared that politics should
be adjourned, yet a little considcra-
ton may lead us to the conclusion
that it would have been wise for
him to urge upon the voters of the
country that they should elect a
Republican Congress. so that he might
have proper support in the prosecu-
ton of the great war in which we
are involved There is no doubt that
the Republicans in Congress have
given his administration more thor
ough-going and hearty support than
those Of his W party and that
whatever Of difficulty in the way Of
obstruction and delay he has had
with congress-, has been principally
from Democratic members in both
houses. The reason for these con
ditions is to be found in the essential
differences between the W parties.
Ii has come to my memory that III
an address which | prepared AM
| delivered nearly eight years ago,
attempted briefly to state the subs
/ tantial difference between the two
great political parties and ] believe
that ! did so correctly and will quote
from that address as follows:
TO the student of our poll
teal history, who has familiar
izcd himself with the principles OF
the great political parties OF our
country. it will be clear that my
viewS are in harmony with the
tcnets of that party, called al dlf-
ferent times f~edcraliSt, wing,
republican, which has always
stood for strength and stability
Of government, combined with
due protection of the citizen, and
for concentration OF power and
consequent increased sense of res
possibility. as cOntrasted with
that opposite school of thought,
which. while ardently devoted to
the advocacy OF the rights of the
individual, is based upon hostili-
~ to. and Jealousy OF, all exercise
of government power, a remn-
ant of the feeling of past ages
when government was by the few,
under claim of divine right"
against the many, and which,
could it have had full control in
the first years of the republic,
unchecked by a fedcralist supreme
court, would almost certainly
have disintegrated our national
government
Republicans. whenever the oppur-
tunity presents itself, have no dit
| ficultv ii giving their support to
n measure necessary to increase
the strength and power OF govern
ment. and there never has been an
occasion in our history when such
measures were more greatly requ'r-
ed. than during the last year and a
half; and the Republicans in Cong
rcss. animated by such beliefs as are
indicated in the foregoing quotation,
have found no difficulty in giving
unfaltering support to a National
New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1918-09-20

Democratic Administration, in spite
of all the wellfounded criticism,
which might have been directed
against that administration if they
had been animated by selfish poll
teal feeling.
On the other hand, it was equally
natural and perhaps inevitable for
members of the Democratic party,
which has thr oughout its history been
the party of opposition and mega
ton, to struggle against the demands
of the Executive as to its being
strengthened for the prosecution of
the war.
The feeling of hostility to, and
jealousy of, all exercise of govern
mental power" inherited from our
ancestors who struggled for centuries
with a %tyrannical government to OBJ
tain the liberty and freedom which
we now enjoy, is still entertained by
2 very large part of the people OF
the United States, and it is mainly m
that feeling Of so many people that
the strength of the Democratic Party
is to be found. At the present time,
