PICK YOUR MEN.

TVERY Indication this afternoon tends TO show that the delegates
r TO the republican state convention have placed themselves in the
right frame of mind and in the right attitude to choose as the
party candidate for governor the strongest man who is available
out of the considerable list Of possibilities. There is evidence Of a
determination to eliminate personal ambition, the demands in behalf
Of weak brothers, personal animostes and feuds and in wise dc.
liberation to nominate the man who will be most likely TO aid in
winning n victory for the republican state and national tickets. This
is all that could be desired. Such a nomination, brought about as the
result of such a determination, will receive the enthusiastic approval
Of the rank and file of republicans throughout the state.
IL should not be forgotten that there are other places to fill
on the republican state ticket and that the filling of these is almost
ms important as the selection Of a candidate for governor. The ticket
should not have any weak spots in il. 1t should be composed of
strong men throughout; men who are not only "vote getters" but
who will inspire in the minds Of the people complete confidence in
their determination and ability TO carry out the platform principles
and pledges that will be adopted.
II is important, therefore, that the same spirit of unselhshness
Of careful selection and of wise elimination should guide the nomina.
ton Of other candidates as il now seems likely will govern delegates
in choosing the nominee for governor.
Let every delegate remember, in making up his mind on every
nomination, that the most important business before us is 10 carry
our state for Warren @. Harding in November; and that in naming
a ticket which will most aid 10 that result we are sure to act in the
hest interests Of our state.

THE DAWN OF THE NEW DAY.

THE Dawn of he New Day in New Mexico politics; heralded
quite thoroughly by scintillating flashes from the searchight
Of lonely editorial aloofness and accompanied by menacing
mutters of thunderous tone from the dizzy pinnacle above the COM
mon herd where Mr.. Carl G. Magee has made his habitat since his
recent arrival in our midst from Tulsa, Okla; has burst upon us
right on schedule time. 1t was due to arrive co-incident with the
opening of the republican state convention. II is here.
Those in doubt as to the identity of the Dawn of the New Day
or who may question its authenticity may positively verify it as the
real thing by the following brands and ear marks a
There is no man in the republican party in New Mexico who is
fit 10 be governor Of New Mexico, with the solitary exception Of Mr..
Larrazolo.
There is only one umseIish friend and guide Of the republican
party in convention assembled who can be depended upon to advise
delegates wisely as to the way they should vote. This party is the
Hon. Frank A. HubbeL.
There is only one friend of the people. This is none other than
the Dawn Raiser the lonely, aloof editor of the Morning journal,
Mr.. Magee. As TO this latter mark of Identification Of the New Dawn
there s no possible question. Mr.. Magee admits il.
Under the circumstances, in this period OF rigid examination of
campaign expenditures, it seems a pity that approximately 200
delegates should have been put to the wholly unnecessary expense of
journeying to Albuquerque, TO sleep four in a bed at the foot OF The
pinnacle whereon the Dawn Raiser operates. They could have wit
messed the Dawn Of the New Day at home just as well, in greater
comfort, at less expense and perhaps with a broader view Of the
political landscape under its bright effulgence.
Why worry about coming to Albuquerque TO discuss a nominee
for governor when the daily bulletin of the Dawn Raiser tells us
this morning in plain and final terms that Mr.. Magee, Mr.. Hubbell
and Mr.. Larrazolo have finally decided that
"Any candidate agreed upon as the man to defeat Larrazolo is
the candidate of the bosses, and will have TO wear the boss tag from
now TO November"
