NEW MEXICAN HAS FLOPPED

The Santa Fe New Mexican is off
the republican party and is out to knife
the ticket The difection was to
have been expected. as the New MeXi-
can flops every time it fails 10 get
everything its own way. II takes the
position that the best way TO reform
the party is 10 join the democratic
ranks. That Is a good system, but not

believe in washing their own soiled
linen and letting the democrats do the
same II is doubtful, to say the least,
whether it is good policy 70 eject dem
Ocrats who are themselves bosses or
bossed and no better than the bosses
and the bossed of the republican party.
The Albuquerque Morning Journal
takes the view that IL is folly to al
low the bosses To drive it from the par
" when the battle is more than half
won. As n consequence Of this pract-
ical viewpoint, the Journal will con-
tinue To be political force among
those who really determine public pol
cies and will demand and get a bet

New Mexican Is neither one thing nor
another and has lost the Influence
which It might have exercised. II has
Il very personal grievence against the
republican nominee and IL is unfair
to ask republicans Ia wreck their or
ganizntion for petty grudge.
The disgrmtled one Of the republi-
can ranks are trying TO form pro

filiate with the democrats. This move
ment in Bernalillo county is headed by
one Frank Hubble, erstwhile boss of
the republican party. The voters or
his home county have terribly manhan-

sore about 1t. The democrats are wei

ARCHANGEL, ONCE
j. S. SEAT, TAKEN
BY BOLSHEvIKI
CBy Associated. Press)

LONDON, Feb. 2O-Bolshevik forces
have captured Archangel, on the
White sea, according to wireless dis
patch from Moscow today. The
whites" abandoned the town and the
troops Joined the Bolsheviki, the
message declares.
Archangel was for a long period
during the war the main port of entry
for Russian war supplies from the al
lies. A railroad joining the principal
Russian rail lines to the south gave
ingress for the war material made
outside of Russia and supplied to the
armies of the old regime and after
the revolution to the forces of the
Kerensky government.
With the advent of the Bolshevik
rule in Russia, Archangel was main
tanned by the allies as a base for con-
tact with interior Russia, and later
as the supply depot for the forces of
the north Russian government, estab.
lished in opposition to the Bolsheviki,
and for the allied troops, including a
considerable number of Americans,
sent in to help protect the north Rus
sian area.
Abandonment of the Archangel ex.
pedition by the allied and associated
powers was determined upon last
year and the British. American and
other allied forces there were with.
drawn during the summer and fall.
Also Fighting in Siberia
Fighting has been in progress on
the Amur river in Siberia between in.
surgent forces and Japanese, a Mos.
cow wireless message states. "White"
troops reinforced the Japanese and a
fierce struggle is raging with the in
surgents supported by Chinese, the
dispatch declares.
1t is reported, the Bolshevik advices
add, that in the Ussuri region the ris-
ing OF the peasants in favor of the SOW

Germans Temporize on r
Extradition; Holland to
Interview Hohenzollern
(By Associated Press)

LONDON, Feb. 20.-Germany's re-
ply to the last allied note relative to
the trial of Germans accused OF war
crimes will point out issues upon
which greater clearness is desirable,
according to decision reached by the
German cabinet on Wednesday, says
a Berlin dispatch to the Exchange
Telegraph company.
It will be contended, the dlspatch
states, that accusations against sew
eral persons notably Field Marshal
Won Hindenburg, General Ludendorff
and Admir- Won Tirpitz are too gen
cral.
THE HAGUE, Wednesday, Feb. IS.
Before answering the last allied note
relative to the extradition Of former
Emperor William, the Dutch govern
ment is expected to assure itself that
the erstwhile monarch is willing to
settle down for life at Doom and not
disturb the worlds peace. While on
answering the original demand for ex-
tradition the dutch government acted
without consulting Count Hohenzol-
lern in anyway, different course
NAV be pursued in the present in
stance.
Holland will undoubtedly reply she
is willing to qua William of Hohen'
zollern closely at Doom and accept
responsibility for preventing any dan
ger to the world peace but 1t will prob
ably be necessary to consult the exile
before replying.

LABOR FIRES FIRST
GUN IN CAMPAIGN
AGAINST RAIL BILL
(By Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Union la
Dor. led by officers of the American
Federation of Labor, and the rail-
road brotherhoods, today had we'll un-
der way its fight in congress against
the adoption of the redrafted railroad
reorganization bill.
Besides the memorial prepared by
representatives of Is railroad unions
and federation officers at an all day
conference yesterday. and which was
addressed to congress as whole, in
dividual congressman were deluged
with letters and telesrams from the
union leaders generally. protesting
against enactment of the bill into law.
The plan Of the unions, it was
shown, provides first far determined
fight in the house and senate. If de-
feated there the controversy will be
taken direct to President Wilson in
the hope of veto.
The opposition of the unions as
shown in the memorial to congress,
declaring the redrafted bill to be de-
structive of the employees constitu-
tional privileges and liberties, is based
chiefly on the method proposed for
handling wage and labor disputes.
Charge Private Interest.
The provision for a fixed financial
return to holders or railroad securi.
ties also is attacked, the memorial
holding that the provisions would
constitute IAN abandonment of gov
ernment for the common good. the es-
tablishment of government for private
interest. special privilege and class
benefit"
Principal objection to the labor ar
bitration clause is based OIL -he man.
ner in which the special al ,itration
boards would be constituted and the
manner of their operation. Union
leaders contend that the arbitration
boards including the permenant fed,
boards including the permanent fed
so composed as to eliminate labor
from representation.
