TILE SAME OLD METHODS.

The same old methods of the same old bosses
are being used to win in the convention. They are
not asking what the people want. They are at
tempting to say what the people shall be permitted
to have
So short sighted they in their sefishness that
they unwittingy attempting to put the party
the rocks of destruction.
New Mexico must be carried for Harding and
Coolidge This is vital to the welfare of the country
There may arise conditions under which New Mexico
will be the determining factor in the nation. We
must not fall down in our loyalty to the national
ticket
But will fail if the bosses keep up their con-
nivance No inducement can lead the people of New
Mexico to accept hand picked ticket The pub
lie has had enough of that sort of thing The ticket
must be untagged with boss control
Can a combination of county bosses with nothing
but personal grievances their provocaon, deter
mine the course of great constructive political
party? If so, we have fallen upon evil days, indeed
Why are not determining which man want
for governor after campaign in which rival can
ddates have told the people the program they pro-
pose and where the decision of the people to the
policy they wish pursued, is the deciding factor?
Must it be that the republican party is so devoid
of men who stand for something affirmative and
constructive in state matters. that it must forever
be an issue between men and groups of men?
Our judgment is that this convention will come
forward with program and untrammeled can
ddate, both of which will command the confidence
and favor of the people to degree which will SWEEP
the state for Harding Such is confidence in the
wisdom of this convention.

STATE LAND SALES
CRoy nish-American.l

We are not altogether in harmony with the man.
ner in which the sale of state lands is conducted
throughout the northeastern part of the state and
while there is no doubt in minds that the state
is doing the best it with the matter of sales
yet there should be a remedy someway to correct
of the evils that work into these sales What
we have in mind right now is the selling of the lands
in large tracts to spectators. thus giving them
chance to reap big harvest from the little fellow.
The greater part of the sales of state land in
northern Nora southern CoIfax and western Union
counties have been in very large tracts and it took
such an immense amount of money to handle the
deal to get tract that the little fellow did not have
a look in, and in this manner the Spectator the
big fellow as a rule got it at practically his own
price.
We have been informed that Spectator and
his company have cleared nearly $500 900 the
resale of state land in the past three years and
when you think of this huge amount being taken
from state institutions and schools we wonder
il it would have not been much better to have held
this land few years. and then to have sold it in
smaller tracts to actual bona fide settlers. 1t Is
claimed that often the big fellows get together and
agree among themselves not to bid against each
other and allowing each tract at their figures
While we cannot prove this statement yet from some
of the recent sales led to believe this prac-
tice does exist in New Mexico, and If it does it
should surely be remeded by cutting the land up
in small tracts and selling it to the farmers direct
and not to the spectators.
We were talking to a gentleman last week that
recently bought section at $25 per acre cash. The
land contained no Improvements, it was nothing but
land at $500 per acre scarcely three years ago.
Some profit for the investment? Yet the land sales
continue in large bodies and the spectators make
the profits.

MIR. BURsUNrs KEYNOTE.

The keynote speech of Mr.. Bursum before the
republican state convention yesterday may have been
we'll balanced from the standpoint of those whose
viewpoint is purely national.
But from the standpoint of one who is thoroughly
alive to public sentiment in New Mexico. it under
emphasized state issues
With all that he said on both national and state
issues we in accord. It was an excellent ad-
dress
However. if the party platform touches as lightly
upon state issues did Mr. Bursum in his speech,
the public will be wholly unsatisfcd and will not
follow the party with any degree of unanimity in
the election.
Unless the party fully meets the declarations Of
the democratic party upon state matters the national
issues will be largely obscured by the state fight.
AS a matter of fact the republican party should
be more explicit and forceful than the demo-
Gratis
No room should be left for doubt as to the in
terest and sincerity of the party in dealing with
state issues.

Five Thousand independents.

Five Thousand Independents.
| Editor Journal:
On the eve of the republican
state convention / wish to congrat-
ulate you on the victory you have
won in the state for the people.
That this convention will go on rec
/ ord for at least the larger part Of
| the reforms you have been con-
| tending for is a forgone conclusion,
| That the bosses may be able to
cloud the issue and by doing so get
| half a loaf, Is possible, but when
| the convention adjourns 1t will do
so with the full conviction that the
people have at least made a long
start toward attending to their own
political business.
During the progress of the con-
test | have been constantly re-.
minded of the last fight the Old
Guard made in Iowa. The issue
there, as here, was practically the
same. For years no man dared to
become a candidate for even con-
stable without first consulting and
securing the consent OF two attor-
news representing two great cor
porations. Every man with a desire
for different Cohd tions, who as
sumed a little political independ-
ence, was slaughtered. Special in
terests had the stale by the throat.
There, as here, one man dared to
defy special interests and the ear
of the people was reached and the
bosses went down to defeat, never
again to control the politics of the
state, and strange to relate. within
ten years after the bosses went
down to defeat they rallied that
special privileges meant nothing
and none would go back to the old
order of things when bosses ruled.
You complain that few have
taken advantage of your columns
to express their views. There IS
nothing to complain about along
that line, for few people write for
publication, but all OF them are
thinking for themselves these days,
Whether the state will go demo-
cratic or republican tins November
depends absolutely upon the action
of the republican convention held
here in thu next tgo Gays. There
are five thousand Independent
votes in the state who are able and
can nut an Intelligent interpreted
ton on what both parties have to
offer in their platforms and TINS
independent vote will decide the
election. | base this assertion upon
NV acquaintance in the state, Tor
there are but few men in the state
who have had the opportunity 10
visit as many places and know as
many people as l. ~.
After all, the fellow with the
special privilege, special advantage
in taxes, etc, beats himself in the
long run fer he retares the ieVel-
opment of tho state which would
mean so much 10 his own develop
ment and prosperity.
Your fight is won Mr.. Editor, for
no matter what action may pc
taken by this convention it is safe
to predict that two-thirds OF 1t per-
sonally will be for long leap
ahead in political management IN
New Mexico. They may be out

believing that they have won for
the people, but between adjourn
