POOR JUDGE MECHEM!

Judge Mcchcm inspired pity
last night. The audience felt
sorry for him. Ills air was that
of IA beaten and hopeless man.
All the fight has gone out of
him. Only Il man supporting IL
hopclcssly lost cause would
wear his dCmCanOr
He spoke only ten minutes.
The sight of the Journals stem
Dgraphcr in front Of him made
him shuddcr. He was afraid TO
.alk.
Judge McChCm refused to as
sumc any responsibility for the
record of the party in this
state. But he had the men
with him on the platform who
made the record which he, by
implication, rcpudiatcd. lie dis
tinctiy said he would not repu-
diatc the creators of the rec
rd. lie was satisfied with re-
pudiating the thing created by
thcm-the record of the party.
Judge MeCncm says he stands
on the piatform--but he says
Il weakly. lifcicssly. inertly. His
was not the bearing of fighter
who glorics III the righteous
ness of his cause and carries
on" joyOusly. lie was not sus-
taincd by the spirit of IA cru
sadcr following an ideal.
His crowd was disappointed.
Hundreds of democrats and in-
dependent republicans were
there to hear ninI answer the
Journals questions. But he
could not answer them aud did
not try. He should at least
have thanked us for getting
him an audience.
Pity will not redeem IA state.
The situation In New Mexico
calls for men and women who
are made of that stern stun
which demands Il fight for II
square deal" Duty, not sem
timent, must mark the ballot.

Senator Albert B. Fall of Three Rivers n NJ denounced
the Covenant of Versailles the most damnabe docu-

In address which followed that of Merritt c.

parallel with the Holy Alliance, finding many points in
