Here is that vicious thing, an effort TO align
American against American to IMPLY dlsloNalty
where none exists; a crime, which, as Governor
Lindsey says in one of his recent published state
mcnts. should bc placed within reach of the espion-
age act and punishment, if il is not already within
the provisions of that act. All American ncwSpa-
per readers now know that Kahn Of California, the
man referred To. is the 100 percent American who
led the fight for the draft law IN the house. and
won his fight, over the bitter opposition of Dent,
of Alabama. the democrat who is now chairman Of
the military affairs committee. and who will con
tiue its chairman il the democrats carry the
house, who opposed the draft law, the declaration
of war and other proposals for our entrance INTO
and successful waging Of war. One of the splendid
things that has come 10 MS out of this war IL the
development of men like Kahn into war leaders,
not only 100 percent loyal hut 100 percent compc-
tent to win the war. New Mexico Democratic No.
IT, questions this mans loyalty, 10y Inference. Is
that fair, abovc-board campaign argument is it the
kind of thing that will appeal to Americans in this
critical timcg
Space forbids discussion of each Of these t'ycu.
ty campaign paragraphs. Here is just one more,
typical of them all:
That although the law provides that
all public moneys must be paid out on itcn-
izcd vouchers. the State Council of DE.
Tense turned over 100000 VA a lump sum
TO the State College of which DR.. Grille.
republican,. is head?'
1t is true that approximately 100000 was turn.
eel over 10 Dr.. Grille in q lump sum but it WAS
turned over upon an itcmizcd statement Of what
the money was 10 hr used for. What was that u.r.
II was 10 build barracks in order that our State
Agricultural college might take proper care OF tUr
soldiers sent there by our Government for expert
and intensive training as automobile mcchaI.,
truck drivers. cement aud fertilization |con>tru.
tion. engineering, and the other branches of r.r.
meal training SO vitality needed on the fighting
fronts and behind the lines in France and no man
WHO has seen the splendid results obtained with
successive d~ctachmcniS Of these special training
men but will testify that this 100000 is being COS
well spent as amy money the state ever put out. Il
was appropriated to help our government win tins
war. II helped and is helping. tn" government
itself will bear witness Ia how effective the work
has been and is and how valuable that 10000 ap.
preparation was, i'm the crisis when It was made.
What has the fact that DR.. Crilr is a republican to
do with it" Grille for the past year has forgotten
the party hc belong, 10, lu the heroic efforts he has
put forth 10 make State College truly useful i'm
helping to vim the war.
We dismiss New Mexico Democratic No.
with the prediction that If it b, representative Of
what is to follow in New Mexico Democratic 90
numbers two, three, four, etc, IL will net the party
managers responsible for It's character nothing bat
a licking. The people want facts, not fiction mo
this campaign; and they especially resent clumsy
fiction which reflect, upon their intelligence and
undertakes 10 ride their patriotism.
