TOWN CLOCK ACTING LIKE
A DEMOCRATIC POLITICIAN

Evidently the political agitation OF
the past few days has deranged the
usually well.regulated town clock, for
II waves its hands about without re-
gard TO time thus indicated, and when
II strikes you can't believe word II
says. Housewives in the vicinity OF
the court house have long depended ON
the big clock and they are very much
put out because of It's unaccountable
conduct. 1t seems to have gone demo
cratic along with everything else. The
results are late meals, burned roasts,
broken engagements and general chaos.
II has been suggested that, now that
the democratic primaries are settled,
the clock should stop acting like it is
filled with election bootleg and mark
the orderly march Of the hours as it
formerly did before il was affected by
all this democratic propaganda.

DEMING'S THREATENED NEWS
PAPER WAR HAS GONE "FLUEY"

IL looked for while as though Dem
ing might stage newspaper war. The
city's old and new democratic organs
seemed on the point OF locking horns
when the threatened contest went
"fluey." The Graphic doesn't believe
in newspaper controversy, except when
real principles may be at stake and,
certainly in the present instance, the
Headlight and the Free Press have
nothing TO gain by war Of words.
The respective editors are TO be con-
ON their good sense In drop
ping personalities that make for bad
feeling in the local newspaper field.
Since both publications represent the
best that Is in democracy, and every
thing in Luna county is democratic,
they ought to fare forth like brothers
to do battle for the great party which
negotiated the now famous treaty OF
Versailles.

FORGET THE PRIMARIES

The democratic primaries have come
and gone; a full ticket was nominated.
as the Graphic confidentially predicted.
The defeated candidates were all dead
game sports and took their drubbing
like gentlemen. ID was close race all
the way around and none Of them need
feel that the community has repudiated
them. Many different differences will
be drawn from the result, depending
on the point Of view. While many IN
kind things were said during the heat
Of the contest, they will all be forgot
ten before the election comes off. The
one saving thing about American cleo
tons is that the animosity they gen.
crate is soon forgotten in the more
important matters of business and CON-
munity building. 1t is to be hoped that
everyone concerned will let the matter
drop and attend to boosting for a
bigger and better Deming.

A POLITICAL ITEM?

Under the caption, Cruelty OF Barly
Shearing," the Headlight prints the
item which follows. We don't know.
but we believe, that II is Editor Val.
landigham's humorous attempt TO show
the suffering caused by early demo
cratic primaries. 1t is chilly at night
yet and II is believable that an unsuc-
cessful candidate who awakens to find
himself with only a gasless jitney to
show for his efforts must undergo con-
siderable pain. The item follows:
The first week in March sheep and
goat shearing is commenced in some
parts Of the West, and often great suf-
fering and losses are the result. The
state humane societies In Western
states would do well to look after
cases Of too early shearing."

Binghamton, N. Y, Oct 22.-Frank-

HARDINe's RoosEvELT1sm.

WAat is strang is that the friends
ana relatives of Theodore Roosevelt
should campaign for candidate who
eight years ago used these words
about their former leader:
He. has betrayed and broken with
the friends who have given him loyal
and unself1sh devotion for years. He
has abandoned the principles which
he advocated with voice and pen ever
since he entered public life. He has
deserted and attempted to destroy the
party which honored him. He has
convicted himself Of insincerity. in
consistency, ingratitude and untruth-
fulness. He has shamed his past and
discounted his future. ."-Senator Hard
ing in 1912.
What is both strange and unpardon-
able is that some progressive indie
pendent groups in the Republican
party should not only submit to such
leadership, but actively attempt to
fasten that leadership on the country.
