OUR POSITION.

We have taken ample time to deliberately aP-
praise the republican situation in the state
We make no prctensc of being wholly satisfied
with the results of the state republican convention
The bosses won apparent victory in their defeat
of Governor LarrazoiO But II was only apparent.
Starting less than three months ago, with vlr-
finally no outside help and with public sentiment
inundated into quiescence, the journal carried
fight that put all four of its panks into the repup-
Ican platform in spite of the opposition and winch
came within twenty odd votes of rT-nomihatihS
Governor Iarrazolo in spite of every effort of The
old crowd. They we're in fact forced to accept
candidate who is a progressive and whom they did
not want, in order to win ut all.
After n talk with Judge Mcchcm are con-
WINGED that he is favor liberal and progressive
policy. We believe he is sincerely for our program
I'VE incline feel that the bosses will have lttte,
any, hold upon him. If elected II is certain that he
was far from their real choice and that he had no
understanding with them and has made them no
promises.
We have demonstrated beyond all doubt that the
rank file of the republican party is progressive
and responsive to a propaganda favorng civic right
eousness restoration of power to the people no
special privileges under the law and honest admin
fstration of government. There is for dis
enlargement upon that score and no occasion for
republicans to look elsewhere for relief.
The republican party does not belong TO the
of it than we have drive them out. We do not
care to drive them out We wish only TO break
their unjust power and to make them be good. We
refuse to be driven out. We will stay in and win
our battle within the party. -.
just how vigorously support the state ticket
will depend upon just how free from domination
and how responsive tn the public will we concluda
the candidates be when they begin publicly TO talk
We shall not support Nelson FIELD for land COM
missioner for reasons which will give our readers
lated This, in spite of the fact that we consider
him an honorable and aforementioned gentleman.
We will support republican legislative candi-
date whom feel has been nominated in the in
ttTest of special privilege.
With these reservations we will support the
ticket. We will do It way without dicta-
ton from anybody. We will at the same tme con-
tipue our fight upon boss domination of any party
ami will press active fight to interpret into just
law program which bolh parties have adopted.
:, We feel we can serve New Mexico best by free
position within the republican party.
Before two years go by boss domination of the
republican party will be ancient history. Mark
prediction.

breweries and wineries to be reopened and to man
ufacture beverages with specific alcoholic content
it would be impossible to prevent the manufacture
of these beverages with a larger percentage Of
alcohol than prescribed to prevent adulteration
after manufacture and the effect would be to nufy
the prohibition amendment
Even if the saloon itself were not reopened, light
wines and beer would be sold at every soda fountain
every lunch counter and in every restaurant and
hotel. 1t is a notorious fact that drunkards begin
by drinking light wines and beer when young, and
the appetite grows the desire for stronger drink
is developed If we turn loose upo the country light
wines and beer to be sold at every drug store soda
fountain, lunch counter hotel and restaurant, we
have destroyed the prohibition amendment and
brought back upon humanity curse greater than
itself.
IF congress can by a mere majority vote with
the approval of a favoring president license beer
and light wines then prohibition, which required
approval plus the consent of three-fourths of the
states, be nulified by majority of the con-
gress with the approval of the president The brew
cries and the wineries know this fact"

FARMERS ADVISED NOT
TO HOLD THEIR WHEAT

IsY MORNING JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED wiREl
Topeka, Kans., Sept. 15-The
advice of ]. c. Mohler, secretary of
the state board of agriculture, to
wheat growers is to sell their wheat
when they are able to dispose of it
at a profit. Holding it up for a
higher price makes the farmer a
Spectator, said Mr.. Mohler.
Good business demands that the
farmers sell their wheat when they
can make a profit" said Mr.. Moh-
Ter. GAS to whether or not now is a
favorable time to, sell depends on
local conditions. Farmers in the
state growing the best yield pro-
duced their wheat at a lower cost
than other growers and conse-
quently can afford to take a lower
price.
Because of the freight car short
age, many elevators are not willing
to buy wheat on less than a mar
gin of twenty-five to fifty cents less
than the cash price at Kansas City
and other markets. Rather than
buy wheat and take the risk of a
drop in the market these grain
uedltlS are pllellhS u ioW piiCe "
the farmer"
According to reports received by
the board of agriculture the re-
ceipts of wheat at Kansas City,
Hutchinson and Wichita are about
so per cent of normal, due largely
to the car shortage. However, this
also indicates, said Mr.. Mohler,
that many growers are holding
their wheat, because of the present
low price being paid by some local
elevators.

The mon partisan league claims that it is not
political organization and in that manner is ab
to dodge the responsibilities of an authorized polti
cal party
In other words, by sharp political practice ant
fooling the voter by having its candidates fly undo
various coors it seeks to gain control of state poll
tics in order to establish its communstic and so
cialistic ideas of government.
Here is closeup view of the activities of tn
organization that is reaching even into New Mexico
The Salt Lake Tribune says:
The non-partisan league has captured the
democratic nominations in Montana. In North
Dakota the bipartisan candidates
ming the republican ticket while in Idaho
the league has third set of offceseekers in
the field ticket of its own. Under the
circumstances the republicans should be
cessfu in both Montana and Idaho. In the
Treasure state the straight democrats will be
forced to vote the republican ticket if they de-
sire to defeat the leaguers. Idaho is usually
republican state, and, with three tickets in
the field the Indications are that all the G.
O. p. candidates will be elected. 1t is doubt
full if a combination of republicans and demo-
Gratis can win in North Dakota, although the
league has grown visibly weaker during the
last two years, All three of these states will
bear watching.

Astrologers read this as rather
an unfavorable day, for Neptune
is in evil place, while the sun and
Mercury are adverse.
1t is a time for cultivating the
logical trend of the mind. since the
planetary rule makes for the dis
tortion of facts.
Deception is supposed to be ex-
ceptionally easy during the sinister
sway of Neptune. Then specious
arguments and absolute misrepre-
sentation become as truth to many
minds. .
This is not supposed to be a
lucky day for those who start on
Journeys that have for their aim
either personal gain or financial
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT.
There is a sign read as fore
casting agitation over the made
quacy of public revenues, owing
to some new drain on the peoples

Persons in positions that are
conspicuous, either because of good
luck or of real worth, will be alike
