GOVERNOR LARRAZOLO.

The governor authorized Senator Holt to say to
the republican state convention that he would sup
port its nominees. Many unconfirmed rumors are
in circulation that the governor has changed his
decision in this important matter. We think not
We certainly hope not.
In the beginning of the pre-conventon campaign
Governor Larrazolo was merely receptive candl-
date for reelection Later, he saw the imperative
need of certain reforms in our state government IL
the welfare of the public was to be served. TO Ia
ciltate the adoption by the republican party of these
reforms he became affirmative candidate for re-
nomination upon definite platform of progress
In his chief purpose of forcing these reforms
upon the party, Governor Larrazolo was entirely
successful. BY a combination of the remnant of the
old reactionary machine with few people having
a personal grievance and others who sincerely be-
lieved his denomination unwise, he was defeated by
a narrow margin, by methods which were extremely
Irritating to the governors friends.
But the reactionares could not marshal sufft-
cient strength to name any of their choice for
governor They were compelled to be content with
only an apparent victory. Judge Mechem is a pro-
gressive The old machine was really broken by
the power of the support of Governor Larrazolo.
Although he lost the honor of denomination
for which he cared little, the governor really rem
dered a service to the rank and file the party which
places it under permanent obligation to him. In
defeat he has the greatest political victory Of
his career.
1t is not believable that the irresponsible rumors
are correct and that the governor contemplates in
any way, deserving the party. At the moment when
his support needed to clnch the great victory for
the people he certainly will not abandon Judge
Mechem to the arms of reaction.
BY waving the personal element and ignoring
as belonging to unalterable past. the methods
employed against him. he become, not only the
greatest single power in his party but he can IN
sure the party against repetition of such methods
Governor Larrazolo is the natural leader of his
people They are chiefly republican in their con-
victons. They will follow him readily within the
party. They will show greater hesitancy and UNI
certainty in following him out of the party HIS
great to his people be rendered by stand
ing by and aiding in making secure the new day Of
better things.
To our mind the finger of destiny points in this
direction as the surest way to victory, usefulness
and future honors.

PASSING COMMEN T

any exhortation, public or private,
to go beyond that, as so many
zealots are now insisting must be
the practice"
1t is right here that the liquor
people betray themselves. They
look to Governor Cox for interpre-
tation ahead of enforcement. They
expect he will enforce the enab-
ling acts of the Eighteenth amend
ment as he may regard them to
be "ln harmony Herewith" They
J do not so regard the Voistead law.
That they regard as despotic in its
"regulation Of custom and appe-
tite." That they would expect
Governor Cox to interpret as not in
harmony with the amendment.
They feel virtuously certain about
his enforcement of the amendment
ltself-that is an empty phrase
and makes a good front, for it is
the accompanying enabling act
which applies the amendment. And
through the Interpretation OF the
law lies the road to laxity and
hence to law violation which has
ever been the course of the liquor
interests.
"Our Side" must have justiflca-
ton for it's splendidly restrained
but nevertheless obvious advocacy
of Governor Cox as the hope OF the
liquor interests.

THE NEW MExICAN's DETECTION.

Colonel Cutting, of the Santa Fe New Mexican
has abandoned the republican state ticket. We are
sorry. Just when the fight against improper con-
troll of the party has been virtually won and all
we'll meaning men and women are needed to man
the ship his Judgment leads him to desert. We of
course question his wisdom.
We had hoped the New Mexican could show the
bigness of spirit which would enable it to overcome
its personal grievance against Judge Mechem and
line up to redeem the party from any improper
control
The public will have little interest in any per-
sonal controversy between Judge Meckem and the
New Mexican.
The Journal has disposition to challenge the
sincerity and good faith of the New Mexican We
only fear that personal prejudice unduy Influenced
It in its adverse course. We trust its decision may
not diminish its future usefulness to the state.
When two newspapers desiring the same end dis

naturally questions the wisdom of the course chosen

NOTHING TO LAUGH AT.

'Tant nuthin' to laff at l can see!

You wouldn't want people to laff at you

An your nose spread out like load of hay
You wouldn't want strangers who come your way

An she made me stand while she poked about
To pull his turrible singer out.

G., again stared up at me.
Passonately I threw the letter
on the bed-unread. I WOULD
not stoop to read another letter
not intended for me. I would re-
place it on the rack and Clifford
could find 1t when he came in. But
it was strange that second letter
from her should come to the house.
That she should not send it to his
office, where there would be no
danger of my seeing it. Perhaps it
was something important and she
had telephoned the office and
couldn't get him; or perhaps she
did it purposely to make me jeal-
Gus: or perhaps she, thought /
wouldn't dare to open Clifford's
letters. Well, | hadn't! If she was
so careless as not to seal a letter
to another woman's husband, why
she deserved to have it read.
Suddenly came, the thought of
something father had once said to

a letter not belonging to me:
"a letter is sacred to the person
IL IS lnCenueu TOT. NeNtI open

on the letter and arranged my
hair. Then sat down and looked

to read toward the bed. l walked
into another room, but the letter
was before my eyes; that hated
