SEEMS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The Mountainair Independent
seems rather grouchy about the
nominations on the Democratic
county ticket 1t says that seven
Of the eleven candidates are from
Estancia. The Independent says
GAS has been the custom for years
past, the majority of the candidates
named are from Estancia, that be-
ing apparently one of the chief
qualifications for the. various offic-
es."
Anyone familiar with the prac-
tices of the Independent will at once
perceive that it is the fact of these
persons getting nominated by the
Democrats for office that arouses
the resentment Of that paper. If
they had raised a good crop OF
beans, or corn or cane or sauer-
kraut, or distinguished themselves in
any other way except getting nom
mated by the Democrats, it is NOR
ally certain that the Independent
would have said they were located
"near Mountainair. If it had been
necessary to admit that they get
their mail at Estancia, undoubtedly
the Independent would have added
that TO all intents and purposes Es-
tancia was merely a suburb of
Mountainair, and it was just the
same as if they lived right in Noun
tainair.
One Of the candidates lives in Es-
tancia, another has an office here
but lives in the precinct a short dis
tance from town, and another lives
in the southwest corner of the pre-
cinct, making three candidates from
Estancia precinct instead OF seven
as stated by the Independent, which
is as near the truth as that paper
usually gets in any controversial
matter.
The News-H Herald is free to ad-
nit that this precinct got rather
more than it was really entitled to,
but we learn from another great
newspaper light, the Willard Record,
that a Mountainair man shared with
two others the bossing of the con.
vention, so Mountainair must assume
one-third of the responsibility.

You must give credit to Editor
Magee of the Albuquerque Journal
for getting things stirred up prop
erly in the politics of the state.
Many of the editorials written by
Mr.. Magee sound almost like they
were taken from the files of the
News-Herald of two and four years
ago. The conscientious, open-mind-
ed men who delve into the devious
workings of Republican politics in
this state will write in the same
strain and their writings will nee
essarily sound much alike. The
editor of the News-Herald, like the
editor of the Albuquerque Journal,
came to New Mexico a Republican
but soon broke with the organiza-
ton and has since been supporting
the Democrats as an independent,
believing that the Democrats, if Civ
en- the power, will correct abuses.
We are gratified to- note that the
Republican majority in this county
has been dwindling steadily, but the
fight made by the News-Herald of
course had no effect outside the
county. The Journal, issuing seven
papers week and having large
circulation all over the state, has
stirred them up right. Give the
Journal credit for the great work
1T has done and is doing. Bully for
the Journal.

THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

(From President Wilson's Address)
l. Americanism as they (the op.
pononts of the league) conceive il
reverses the whole process of the
last few tragical years. 1t would
substitute America for Prussia in
the policy f'isolation and defiant
segregation.
2. Fhe conception of the great
creators of the government was alb
solutely opposite to this. They
thought of America as the light of
the world, as created to lead the
world in the assertion of the rights
of peoples and the rights Of free
nations.
8. Surely we shall not fail to
keep the promise sealed in the death
and sacrifices of our Incompatible
soldiers, sailors and marines who
wait our verdict beneath the sod of
France.
4. There is nothing in the cove
nant which in the least interfercs-
with or impairs the right of con
gress to declare war according to its
judgment.
5. The whole world will wait TO,
your verdict in November as it
would wait for an intimation of
what its future is to be.

We publish in another column an
appeal to the voters by Hiram West,
ST., to vote against C. l.. Burt for
county superintendent. Some of our
readers probably are not acquainted
with Mr.. West, and for their bene.
fit we will state that he is one Of
the few living veterans of the Civil
War, and one of the most radical
Republicans in the county.

what it called "Bossism Rampant

lent as the grave about that.
The Republicans had a convention
IN Estancia last week, and some
thing happened which caused the
delegates from five or six precincts
to walk out and stay out. Do you
suppose that will shock the delicate
nerves of the Record? Not bit.
There was no bossism in the Demo.
cratic county convention, as every
body knows who knows anything
about it. The best evidence that il
was not bossed was the way it
creaked and wobbled. A bossed con-
vention runs as smooth as a new
$4,000 automobiles smooth, for
example, as the Republican county
convention after the walk-out.

THE BOLTERS
New Mexican)

Delegates representing the Repub
lican party of New Mexico gathered
at albuquerque early this month.
The Republican party through
these delegates wanted to nominate
o. A. Larrazolo for governor. The
sentiment was overwhelming, in.
sistent. The preliminary demonstra.
tion for Larrazolo rocked the CON.
vontion hall. Instantly on the first
ballot, Governor Larrazolo received
nearly half the convention votes; on
the second ballot with delegates
straining at the leash of the unit
rule Of the bosses, he got within 80
votes Of enough to nominate; had
the Valencia, Bernalillo and San Mi
guel delegates been free to vote
their desires he would have been
nominated by a decisive majority on
the first ballot.
Mr.. Fall, Mr.. Bursum, Mr.. Haw-
kins and company thereupon bolted
the choice of the party; they held a
trump" convention within the con-
tion; with this trump" convention
they cracked the whip over the dele
gates; q minority succeeded in CO.
ercing majority and forcing it to
accept the minority choice, a man
dabarred by the constitution.
On the one hand was the Repub-
lican' party, on the other a special
interest group of politicians.
On the one hand the plain choice
of the Republican voters of the state,
OH the other the pet political child
OF H. 0. Bursum.
Mr.. Fall and Mr.. Bursum and
their friends thus bolted the choice
of the Republican party-because he
determined to see that the mine
paid their taxes.
And these are the men who claim
to be "the party; who denounce
as Democrats" and
"bolters."
1t is up to Republicans in New
Mexico to show these men who are
"bolters" and who are Republicans.
This stuff has been peddled for
twenty-five years-"We are the Par
ty and if you don't swallow US you
are a Democrat" They've got away
with it for many years. Now is the
time to fix things so they won't get
away with it again.

Or ruin it.

We publish in this issue a com.

munication from our old friend G..
w. Austin, who is now secretary of
the Non-Partisan Political League
with headquarters in Albuquerque.
The Leaguers inveigh against "the
old parties," meaning thereby the
Republican and Democratic parties.
Whatever may be the case else
where, it is certain that the Leag-
uers could make more progress by
voting the Democratic ticket in New
Mexico than in any other way. The
Democrats of New Mexico stand for
many of the things the League is
working for, and if given the pow
er it is certain that the Democrats
will carry out their platform pledg-
es.

AN INTERESTING CONVENTION

We had hoped to have the Off
cial minutes of the Republican
county convention held in Estancia
last week, but have not been able
to get them. Therefore we will
have to make such report of the
convention as can be made by hear
say.
There was an exceedingly warm
time, as anyone could see, and as
far as can be learned the bone of
contention which was not decided
by the whole convention and which
therefore precluded the introduction
OF other bones of contention, was
the nomination for sheriff. There
was a very strong faction bitterly
opposed to the denomination of Ale
jandro Baca for sheriff, and the
convention split upon this rock be-
fore anything else could come up.
The result was that the day was
spent in wrangling over this ques-
tion until about the middle of the
afternoon, when the delegates from
five or six precincts bolted the con-
vention and went home. The bolt
ing delegates gathered in groups on
the street before departing for their
homes, and it could be noticed that
they were exceedingly warm under
the collar.
As reported to us, it was the
contention of the insurgents that un-
fair methods were used in both the
Willard and Estancia primaries in
the voting of Democrats and non
residents, to carry those precincts
for the successful faction, and that |
if fair methods had been used in
those precincts the other faction
would have had a majority jim the
They offered to over
look this cause of grievance if Baca
would accept the nomination for
treasurer and allow their candidate
20 be nominated for sheriff, but the
other side would not agree to this.
We are told that the boiling dele
yates were the entire delegations

ounta and Cienega, with part of the
delegation from Abo, and some say
he Pinos Wells delegation were al

strength of the two factions is said
% have been about nineteen OF
Wenty against Baca, and twenty
wo to twenty-six for him. The
yote in making nominations was
most of the time announced as
which would indicate
hat number as the strength of the
3aca faction.
After the bolt, as we understand
t, the convention organized by the
lection of A. J. Coury of Duran
IS chairman and Fidel Cordova Of
Willard as secretary. The usual
ommittees were appointed and the
onvention adjourned for supper.

THE PARTING OF THE WAYS
Albuquerque JournaD

We must confess that we are dis
appointed in Judge Mechem Ir
view of his splendid announcement
of a program of progress, In gen
eral terms, which we printed some
days ago, we had hoped that he
would soon follow it UP with more
specific declarations, showing exact
ly how he stood with regard to the
political activities of certain gentle
men in this state.
Repeatedly we have given Judge
Mechem opportunity to express him
self. We have wanted to believe
that he was free from the yoke,
but a general statement alone could
not prove this. Our apprehension
has increased as he has remained ST.
lent. General statements are fire.
quently susceptible of various inter
pretations. For instance, it is pos
sible that Judge Mechem does not
consider the bossism of Holm O.
Bursum or that of A. B. Fall as be-
ing Objectionable. We do. He may
not regard the mine law-making &C
tivities of Messrs. Springer, Sully,
Wilson and Hawkins as obnoxious
We do.
We had hoped that Judge Mech
EN- would issue statements so clear
ly defining his position respecting
certain reactionary elements in the
republican party as to-convince the
people of New Mexico he would
rather be right than be governor.
We hoped he would be right first
and then carry SO fast a fight to
hiG critics that he could win.
But he has kept his silence. We,
therefore, find ourselves constrained
to withdraw our support from him. |
We do this regretfully, because we
believed that our principles were his
principles. They still may be so, but |
he has not proved it to the satisfac-
ton of the people of the state. His
silence is not reassuring.
We had hoped that we could help
reform the republican party from
within. Ours was not the school-boy
attitude of 81 won't play because l
can't have my way" When the
nomination of Governor Larrazolo
was stolen from him at the last min
ute, we believed that Judge Mechem
could and would carry on the fight.
and we announced that we would
support him.
But the whole tendency has been
to muzzle us and TO hamper our
fight for TIE people 1t has been
made plain to us that we are ex:
pected to defend the past instead of
holding out promise for the future.
Judge Mechem has disappointed
us, and we cannot continue support.
ing him. We are fighting for prin,
ciples, not personalities. His politi-
cal ideals may be as lofty as high
Olympus, his aspirations may be as
pure as the SHOWS that top its crest
but so far he has not proved them
so.
The Journal cannot wait any long
ell for him to declare himself. Lii
lie more than a month remains be.
fore election day, and much must
oe done. Bossism in New Mexico is
we'll organized, 1t cannot be crushed
n g day. +
We are convinced that the public
good requires that we place our
selves where ,unequivocal denuncia-
ion of the record of the "gang" is
and our position is not l.
n
Judge Mechem is captain of his
own political soul, as we are of ours.
The parting >of the ways has come.
We are forced, against inclination,
to support the democratic state
ticket.
