cALLEcos QulTs .-
THE FUsloNlsm

The predicted and attempted ~
volt of the G. o. p. Boilers in Ssn
Miguel County has been frustrated
Ramon Gallegos who was the prin-
opal figure Of influence among the
Boilers has retired from the fusion
movement. Mr.. Gallegos learned
that the scheme had been worked up
by and through the assistance Of
the democratic state committee. He
found that the proposed fusion OF
the little group of Republican, and
the Democrats to elect . Fusion
ticket was merely q cloak for OPP
position to Harding and the Re-
publican State Ticket Being .
| felong Republican he Immediately
retired from the movement saying
he would support the entire Repub.
lican state and county ticket. Nj.
Gallegos' action has left the fusion
movement flat.
The Republicans of Quay county
held their convention last week and
placed before the voters the best
ticket that has eve been nomin-
ated in that county. While we .
hardly expect the election of q Re-
publican ticket in q county which
has such an overwhelming majority
as the Democrats have in Quay,
there is a possibility that q part of
the Republ can ticket may pull
through by the aid of the votes Of
many Democrats, who are Disguised
with the political ring that has been
running the county for the past sew
eral years.

WILSON LEAGUE MEANS
ANXIETY FOR MOTHERS

The United States in the Wilson
Leagu. of Nations means Americas

occupation abroad such as Wood

Germany, where 1900 American
BOYS in khaki are held { o pol &c a
small section Of German soil instead
Of being at home where they belong
Ii means American soldiers wher-
ever danger of sudden death looms
up among a hundred peoples ovtr
the globe
II means anxiety and bereavement
for every American family that
a son in the army or navy.
Our own wars bring US enough
heart aches, try the mothers OF The
land sorely enough every twenty OF
thirty years. The league would lie
US in for all the war, of the world.
Women do not want their sons tt
be shot and b~ayonetted to ke.r

order. They say: 60 my son; and
God bless and preserve you" whei
our own country is attacked, bl
never will they consent to have

battles of aliens in foreign lands.
Wilson fooled the mothers OF Nh

JUDGE REED HOLLOMAN RE.
PLIES TO JUDGE HANNA'S
CHARGE OF DRAGGING" THE
COURTS INTO POLITICS

Judge Hanna is quoted in the New
Mex can as saying that Judge Hollo-
man is dragging the courts into
politics" In view OF this startling
assertion the State Record asked
Judge Holloman for a statement,
which he gave as follows;
IF Judge Hanna stated that ] am
dragging the courts into politics he
uttered a deliberate falsehood. Ne
man who has had reason TO come
into my court can truthfully stat
that | have ever perm tied personal
or political matters 10 interfere or
influence me in any degree what
ever. There i. not a democratic
attorney practicing in my district
with possibly n exception, but
will support my statement IN that
regard.
/ will say that although l have
never, and never will allow polit C
to creep into my court, yet when !
am off the bench am still an
American citizen. with the same
rights as other Americans with the
same interest in political matters
and will assert them as | deem prop
er. | have attended political meet
ings. have acted as delegate TO po-
| teal conventions, have spoken al
political meetings and will continue
TO do so. Judge Hanna has done
the same. While on the Supreme
bench he was active in political
matters and was not cond mned
therefor. He was delegate TO ?
political convention, spoke al poll
teal conventions, and when a candi
date two years ago still on the
bench he stumped at least a part If
IN State in behalf OF h mself and
his political associates. He was
never condemned for this nor was
he accused of DRAGGING the courts
into politics During that cam
paign one Of his political associate
that ticket was Judge Richard
son, candidate for congress He
was on the bench dur ng thu entire
campaign and until the following
January He stumped the state in
his own behalf and for Judge Han
ma. Was that dragging the courts
into politics? Judge Hanna neve
so much as entered the faintsst pro
test against Judge Richardson's ac-
ton. neither did any one else for no
one but a wilful prevar Gator or a
ignoramus would make
such a charge. Evidently the p-o-
pie are TO assume that il Dem 1cratic
like Hanna and Richardso'
the political arena their only
purpose is to purify the moral at
.osphereand whereby uplift the
but il perchance a Judge of
the opposite political faith does The
he is dragging the courts IN
10 politics. Such a position win
have no influence on n person
with sense enough to vote"

MRS. A. B. sTRoUP ADDRESSES
LARGE CROWD AT CLAYTON

CLAYTON, n. NJ, October p
Mrs. A. B Stroup, of Albuquerque
addressed a crowd Of 400 men and
women here Monday night at the
High School auditorium. outlining
reasons why the women of the state
should affiliate with the republican
party. Her address wa. warmly
received and her visit has aroused
women of the county who are ae-
lively organizing to carry on the
campaign.
Mrs. Stroup n her address told
what the republicans stood for and
had accomplished in the interests Of
the women Of the nation She
dwelt upon child welfare laws and
policies, the ratification of woman
suffrage largely through the efforts
of the republicans and spoke OF the
high cost of living, charging that
the democratic party was largely re-
sponsible by its system of food man
agement dur ng the war and its poiI-
cy in selling food to Europe cheaper
than it could be bought in the
United States. She cited the sugar
situation as showing the ineffic'ency
of the democratic administration
and charged that the high sugar
price and scarcity was due entirely
TO lack of foresightedness on par
of the United States and failure to
protect our interests against those
of European nations.
Mrs. Stroup went from here to
county where she is %continu-
ing her work OF organizing the re-
women.

BOWMAN HOLDS SECOND
LARGE MEETING IN
NC KINLEY COUNTY

GALLUP, October 9, l920-Harry
s. Bowman, candidate for attornsy
general on the Republican ticket,
spoke before an audience of $50 peo-
pie at mining camp of Gibson on
Friday evening, and dwelt particu-
larly with the state questions and
issues VIII CHI are being discussed by
The Democratic candidates for Of
flee. Mr. Bowman presented figures
from the tax rolls OF Grant County
showing that the Chino Copper
company is paying taxes on a basis
of $l8,0O,000W valuation, in
GLIDING output and property tax, in
stead Of upon a valuation Of $1,000
10000 as is being claimed by Demo-
cratic speakers. Also that the valu-
at on OF the Gallup American Coal
Company properties in Mckinley
county had increased from Sl75,OOO.
in 1915, under the former income tax
Law to the sum of $7S0000O0 in 1919
under the administration Of the
present mine tax law which is being
so viciously assailed by the D.mo-
Gratis. Mr.. Roman also showed that
the present mine tax law was passed
by the 1915 legislature W tn the aid
OF four Democratic votes in the
House and three in the Senate. and
was approved by a Democratic gov
ernor, all Of whom apparently con
sidered the law a good one for the
people OF the State under the condi-
tons as they then existed. HE
maintained that the law was a great
Improvement over the prior lax
laws and that to the Reprbiiean
party which had enacted all con
structive legislation should be en-
trusted the max ng of such chang
Is as would be necessary TO make
the laws meet the present conditions
since the Democrats, neither IN
their campaigns nor through their
members in the legislator had ever
proposed any definite changes in
the existing legislation.
Mr.. Bowman also spoke briefly re.
garding the League of Nations and
quoted from statements mad on
Thursday by Senator Borah. Repub-
| can. and Senator Reed, Democrat,
that Article X Of the League Cove
nsnt was a trap which would drag
US into foreign complications rath-
er than an agreement between the
members OF the league which would
prevent wars. To this part OF rhe
argument the women in the audience
Of which there were many, paid very
close attention. and upon its con-
clusion showed enthusiasts sppro-

cox AND THE SCRIPTS SCANDAL

The outrage against the national
CONSUMPTION law in connection with
the Scr pps boys, Jim and Bob is
still fresh in the public mind
These young fellows, the idle sons
OF a Cleveland multi millionaire who
owns the string OF Scripps news
papers in Ohio, were both n draft
age and both husky specimens OF
young manhood. They were luz
uriating at their fathers California
palace when the wal broke out and
devoting their time to golt, polo and
kindred amusements. They had
never had any connection with their
fathers newspapers, except TO ENJOY
their great earnings, o were they
connected with any other business.
However. when the draft law be-
came operative they suddenly be-
came very much concerned IN the
newspaper game and nominal begths
were speedily created for them
However, this ruse ia led to regist'I
with the draft boards and both OF
these young men were indicted in
10 service. Their whining plea that
their work was absolutely essential
for the welfare of the Scripps news
papers, VIII CHI knew that they eX-
isted only by reason of what they
drew from their earnings, was hat
" turned down by both the draft
board and the district board. Ii APP
peared that these cowardly young
slackers would have TO go 10 war.
But the public reckoned without
Governor Cox and President Wilson
Governor Cox personally interested
himself in their case and put I VI
10 President Wilson so strong that
that worthy overruled the dec sions
of the draft boards and granted the
Soripps boys the exemption they SC
ardently craved. They quit SILVER
ing in ther shoes and went bach
10 polo and golf, while the Other
young men of the country wen
abroad to fight.
As a consequence of the gooC
work done in behalf of these youni
slackers by Governor Cox, thu
| Scripps papers today are ardent,
working in his behalf, singing hi!
praises and go ng after his opposi
ton rough shod. There is in thit
incident something for the American
people to think about and especially
for that element which during thu
, war took up arms n the nation
! behalf, seeking no exemption AM
making no attempt to evade dut!

Judge Mechem mas gone beyond
even the progressive declaration OF
his party by announcing that he de-
sires to have a primary law to elect
state as well as county officers. The
platform. of both parties stopped
short of that. Is Judge Hanna
likely to ask a legislature to arrange
fer a state wide primary that would
make it impossible for Arthur Sci e.
man to hand him more places to the
exclusion Of other a%spirants. A
primary would destroy the monopoly
