MECHEM SPOKE HERE

NJ. G. Mechem, candidate for the gov.
ernorship Of New Mexico, spok5 to "A
large audience at tue Majestic theat -
last Tuesday evening A W. PollIrl
introduced the speaker I'm few well
chosen words.
Judge Mechem answered the charges
made by Judge Hanna, his opponent
as to his suhservience 10 the so-called
bosses OF the republican party. In the
matter Of taxation he made Il very
plain that he would not be swayed by
thee Ontending factions one OF which
had tried to protect the large mining
companies from taxation and the ether
that demanded what amounts to con-
fiscatory taxation that would certain
ly put the small mine owners out Of
business.
Judge Mechem lays no claim to ora
tory. hut relies for his defense before
the voters on his long record Of honora-
ble service in the state Judiciary and
the record OF his party that has long
controlled state affairs. He did not
claim that the republican party had
not taken advantage OF the dlstrlcting
OF the state for representation In the
stae legislature and expressed the hope
that the democrats would see ut TO
deal with tine question unselfshly
should that party be successful In the
present electie=.

james VI. Cox Couldn't Carry Weight
OF Wilson League Of Nations and
Get Elected TO the Presidency.
RETURN TO EARTH INDICATED
With Largest Vote Of Approval Ever
Given to Political Party G. O.P.
is Given a Direct Mandate.

New York. Nov. 2.-The most sim.
endous political victory in American
history was won today by the republl-
can national ticket, when Senator War.
rem g. Harding was swept into the
presidency by a popular plurality fur
beyond the high water mark es-
mblished by Theodore Roosevelt i'm his
memorable 1904 triumph over Alton Il.
Parker.
Incomplete but absolutely convincing
returns indicate that Gov. James NJ.
Cox has suffered a defeat more crush
ing than even the most sanguine repub-
lican prophets had predicted. Aside
from the ten states OF the solid south
with III electoral votes and possibly
Kentucky and Maryland the democrat
lc ticket appears to have been buried
under an overwhelming landslide that
erased the word doubtful from the
political lexicon and restored q. q. P.'s
dozen or more states that had swung
to Wilson In the 1916 overturn. The
nation not only needed Senator Hard
lhgs plea Tor an emphatic repudia-
ticn of the Wilson league Of nations
and unmistakable condemnation Of ad-
mnistration policies, but likewise an
Swered his demand for a republican
congress TO carry out his policies.
The next senate will see the republi-
cans with majority of from six TO
eight and In the house of representa-
tiveS n lead of nearly 40.
In the states that had been conceded
to the republicans by impartial pre-
elction observers, there never was the
slightest doubt Of the result.
In these states Governor Cox failed
10 hold even the Wilson vote OF 1916.
while senator Harding added to the
Hughes strength almost the entire en-
rollment Of new voters. IL was this
outstanding feature OF todays election
that enabled the republicans TO carry
II democratic stronghold like New York
city by more than 100000. The plur-
ality in the state may reach n million.
The same story was told in the fig
ures from PENNSYLVANIA, where Hard
ing's plurality may be three-quarters
Of million votes and In MasSachus-
sets. where IL is expected to reach
100000. New Jersey appeared from in
complete returns 10 have repudiated
the democratic ticket, giving Itardinc
Il lead OF 100000 lead

vised that that their headquarters have
made no such admission. The returns
are coming in slowly from the north

nnbliean. The Pecos Valley has failed
to return the usual large democratic
majorities; ChaveS county gave only
1000 democratic ma ajOrity; Curry the
same and Roosevelt only 500, and these
are democratic figures. 10 offset this

PEACE IN MEXICO

The hopes for real peace In Mex
leo continue TO grow Onthis side OF the
border. Recognition Of the de facto
government by the United States is
asserted to be imminent Even the
most skeptical-which includes the
Graphic editor-must admit that new
phase in the cycle of social progression
has been reached In the disturbed
country.
II is possible that the revolutionary
society Is taking n breathing spell" In
the evolutionary process whereby n
period Of profound peace succeeds one
Of the widest disorder.
That the revolution will he resumed
must he resumed some day-should
not deter Americans from an infilter.

paclfication proceeds the invasion"
should begin promptly.
Evidently the Mexican people, sold
ierS aud bandits are weary Of the con-
fusion and misery attending the social
upheavel. AS a matter of fact n sur.
prisingly small minority OF Mexlcans
have taken part or In any way been in
tereSted in the disorders Of the past ten
years. Peace In Mexico simply means
that the promoters Of revolution have
been outlawed-the educated profes.

marauders In other words the bust
ness Of wholesale robbery Is under the
han. at least for the time being. The
Mexican race Is primitive. has long
way Ia go In the struggle for self-gOv-
ernmcnt hut II yields most readily to
constituted authority that shows any
determination. Life and property were
safer In Mexico under Diaz than 1t Is
in the United States at the present
time. The mixed Indian races OF Mex
leo are not mkindly until their primi-
tive lusts are aroused and hospitality
among them is general virtue.
"Watchful waiting has had its re-
ward. hut II has been costly policy
In life and treasure, especially to the
MeXicanS, thousands of whom have
been murdered and the nations accu-

has been the degrading Of motherhood
and waste Of child life most menacing
has been the closlpg OF practically all
the schools until generation has qris-

is Indicative Of growth rather than OF
disintergratiOn.
II would seem that the era Of vision

come To an end and that Americans
can look forward to Mexican policy
free Of scntimentality. We can look
now toward Mexico as our forefnthers
looked toward the umwOn west; when
the press Of population-that breeder
of wars-shnll have forced an ipvol-
utary expansion such as forced Ger

Estimated Democratic Majority Of
800 to 800 Fails to Materialize
AS Ballots are Counted.
WOMEN SPLIT THEIR TICKETS
Results Show That Luna County Cit
izens Are Tired Of Being Driven
Driven By Crack Of Whip.

The Luna county unofficial election
returns show decided inroads into the
usual large democratic ma jority in the
county estimated at from 800 to 500
TO 100 for the had OF the ticket, the
election Of two republicans to county
offices, majority for one state offic-
er and the narrow margins by which
several candidates squeezed into office.
Republican gains In the county were
general, except In the case OF favorite
democratic candidates. Hugh IL. VIII
liams. republican, got majority of
80 votes; G.. ID. Hatfield. republican.
was elected county commissioner by II
ma ajOrity OF 43 votes; A. A. Amy. rep
ublican. was elcted county surveyor by
majority of SO votes: q. f. Lindloff.
republican candidate for sheriff. lOSa
by only o votes; Judge Il. Y. McKeyes,
republican candidate for probate judge
lost by only 32 votes; w. ID. Murray.
republican candidate for state senator
lost the county by 81 votes and is prob
ably elected by a good majority in the
district.
Returns available show SOP votes
cast for the presidential electors in
Luna county.
Election day dawned bright and
warm and no unplea SAINT incident mar
red the balloting The women voters
came early and scratched their tickets
without mercy, judging from the re
suits. Toddling infants and babies in
arms added strange aspect to the
place which was the scene In the old
days OF rough electioneering, swearing
tbacco target practice, acrimonious AR
gument and worse. No ballots are beer
stained, for the coming Of prohibition,
the women and the Australian ballot
have banished these relics of II past age
of social development.

official figures with the exception Of
Hermanas and Cooks, which precincts
