the effects have been spread SC literally, not to say pr6digaly before the
public eye.
For the sake Of the record in this interesting study let us review, briefly,
the facts and outstanding effects Of these mysterious causch;

Then stop another minute and ask yourself these Questions
and keep on asking until you get an answer:
Bronson NJ. Cutting, owner of the Santa Fe New Mexican, has
been living at Santa Fe for ten years. What has Cutting ever done
for New Mexicoq He is the son Of enormous wealth. Has he ever
workedf Has he ever developed a%nythingi Did he ever build any
thing but a palace for his own individual comfort9 Did he ever aid
old Santa Fe to a single public Improvement did he ever propose
a forward looking measure of legislationH Did he ever do anything
but obstruct the efforts of aber more courageous men ready to fight
in the open for what they think is right
Carl c. Magee, the owner of the journal has only been here six
months. We do not know what he may do in the way Of construct
i've effort. We do know that he has yet to tell us anything but gilt
tering generalities about what he has actually accomplished for his
fellow men before he came here. Since coming here he has pursued
nothing but the course Of destruction. Ignorant of conditions
ignorant Of needs open Ia the appeal of every demagogue and every
man with a drudge, he has shaped his course to ends that sometimes
one doubts If he knows himself; but which are always destructive.
And these are the republicans men and women, who demand
that your party be defeated; who ask that you turn against your
party who seek to trick you into neglgect of the danger TO your hopes
Of national success involved in this election contest.

right down to facts; to begin demanding a show down and a show

There are enough republican votes in New Mexico today TO return
