New Mexico state record. (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1914-19??, 1918-08-09

Honorable Melton Torres, Chairman Democratic Central Commit
tee, Socorro, New Mexico.
My dear Mr. Torres:
| have your communication of recent date enclosing the resolu-
ton passed by the Democratic and County Central Committee and
approved by mass meeting Of Socorro County Democrats. Ilns ree
oluhonr requests me to become a candidate for the nomination OF the
ohce OF United States Senator before the Democratic State Corpo-
ration
While deeply appreciate the compliment which is expressive OF
the kindly thought OF my neiehbors and friends, a moved more
D. ne reference etc the work which have been able to accomplish
IN the past hfteen years in developing the agri cultural resources of
the state and the bringing within its boundaries many thousands of
people who have become prominent citizens and are contributing to
te upbulding OF the connonwe ath in all lines of activity
The first problem for every citizen is to decide what can best
do to ada and end the war" which can only be accomplished by u
complete victory over any enemy which is moved by greed Tor power
and lust OF passion to rule mankind and destroy all that is good and
which, II It were to succeed, would bring slavery, poverty and misery
to every home in our fair land.
Therefore, must decide in considering your request whether
al contribute more to n common III BY serving in such
capacity Without doubt, such office would put one in position to
ttengthen and uphold the regularly constituted apthorhea in their
conduct of the war. and this will be demanded OF anyone pac ed in this
high ohee, and ANYTHING less will not be long tolerated by the cn-
zen OF New Mexico of its senator.
Further, my thought and work for the past few years has been
to assist in working out a plan to reclaim the lands of the Rio Grande

declared has proven that he is willing to do so, and on a fair business
basis Let IS organize u drainage districts and vote our bonds
and ask the federal government to loan US the money necessary to
do the construction, to aid us in getting the necessary machinery
delivered quickly.
We have the labor to do the work and grow the crops. The war
hnance corporation was created by Congress with authority to loan
three billion dollars to enterprises necessary to the prosecution OF
the war Through this agency of the government or some othe1;
New Mexico an get the funds necessary to contribute its share.
i have been told by a very high government official that Eve
million acres of land with water available has not been farmed from
the lack of funds. Millions additional pounds of meat products can
be added if the stockman a secure the funds necessary for his BUSH
ness. His enterprise is certainly an essential one and should not b
permitted to suffer for lack of funds. If our present banking Laws
are inadequate changes should be made so that longer time papee can
be carried in order to aid the stockman and farmer.
The interest of every property holder, every business and pro.
fessiona man and every laborer is linked with this development Lea
us concentrate our thought to the purpose of correcting . bad condi-
ton and not allow our minds to become water-ogged. We will have
to meet obstruction; red tape and bureaucracy is done away with in
nearly every department of the government, and let this be done IN
the departments which have to do with the Developments of land and
increased food production 81 that W a contribute NJ share n
sustaining the men who have pledged their lives that osr govern
ment may live.
IT the Democrats think I can be more useful in working out ehess
q other problems In the capacity mentioned, I am willing to seUn.
Sincerely yours,

Five Young Men Enlist.

Last Saturday five fine young men,
all under Fl years of age, enlisted
in the army, recruiting officer be-
ing here from Davenport and taking
them in. They were Harry Mean
drews, John Welsh Detlef A. Ander-
son, Burton Gilman and Louie Smith.
The four former are all DEBORAH boys
and the latter is a son of Mr.. and
Mrs. H, S. Smith, of Canoe township.
They went from here to Jefferson
Barracks, at st. Louis, and enlisted
in the coast artillery. We under
stand they will remain at Jefferson
Barracks for several months and then
sent to one of the coasts. They are
fine patriotic boys and eager to do
their bit for Uncle Sam, and with
out doubt will make good soldiers.

times, an up to date Southern City
with population of one hundred
and fifty thousand, and the hospi-
tality of the people in the south is
beyond my power of explanation.
Being so near to st Augustine, we
took advantage of the opportunity,
secured a twenty-four hour leave of
absence, and went there for a visit
three weeks ago; it is the oldest city
in the United States, and a typical
southern city, it surely is too, with
narrow streets without sidewalks in
the business district, a funny sight
to me.
We had the pleasure of exploring
FIT. Marion, built by the Spaniards in
1865, or started then and completed
ninety-one years later or in 1856;
even the quaint old guns are still
there, and clever piece of work for
the time, too, but l think they would
not make much impression in this
war.
The old slave market, Fountain of
Youth, Old City Gates. Old Watch
Tower, Anastasia Light House are all
places of interest; visited the oldest
house in America, also the orange
groves, saw blossoms, green and ripe
fruit all on the same tree
Went to the beach via trolly, hap
pened there just as the tide was
coming in it is surely rough old
pond, and imagine that we will have
the pleasure of crossing it soon.
Florida is rather low and marshy
in places; there are pine trees galore
which with the ocean breeze gives a
fine climate which one enjoys when
accustomed to it.
! would like to tell you Of our
macy experiences. but am unable to
do so at this time, as it would take
too much space, but will say however,
III closing, that no one need to worry
about any of the DEBORAH boys, for
they have everything that one could
wish, and we feel that we have the
finest set of officers in the army.
With very best wishes | remain,
Yours truly,
Howard B. Whitney.

AMERICANS HAVE REPUTATION
FOR LUCK AMONG ITALIANS

American Aviation Training Camp,
Southern Italy, Jan. 2S.-"You can't
kill an American" is the dictum of
the Italian officers training the sew
eral hundred young aviators who have
been flying here since the end Of Sep
TENDER, when, by arrangement with
the Italian government, this camp was
established.
The Americans have such reputa-
ton for luck that Italian soldiers
come here so they may touch one of
the aviators. ut brings us good luck,
too" they explain.
The Americans fly from morning un-
til night virtually every day. Not a
single one had been killed and but
three have been injured at all seri-
ously One Of the latter, on his third
trip alone, got into an air situation
which he did not understand, with the
result that he stopped his motor
whereupon the machine began to
plunge downwards until its fall was
checked by the telegraph wires of the
railway station of the nearby city.
Thence the machine dropped to the
ground and was smashed. The avia-
tor was picked up for dead, but in
five days he was ready for another
fly.

got lost first in the clouds, and then
in central Italy. He was a couple of
hours going away and whole week
coming back to camp. AS he after
wards explained, he went up for an
altitude and when he got above the
clouds he was unable to discover
whether he was flying upside down or
right side up, or whether the earth
was above or below him.
However, he was fed and started
campwards, after couple of days of
detention. He had flown nearly a
hundred and fifty miles away from
camp. and when he got back there, he
was accused of having been on a Wis
