A TYPICAL 'ELECTION SCANDAL"

TILL DEMING HEADLIGHT, - a weekly paper published at the
county seat Of Luna county, is one of the most violent proponents
" expect TO materiaize out Of a volcano Of mud. The Headlight"
illuminated the recent eruption of campaign mud so brilliantly that II
appears TO have burned out a fuse.
Having successfully carried the strongly democratic county Of
Lima for Mr. Hanna by a majority Of considerably less than 100 votes
the Headlight discovered an election day scantnl in its home com
munity. The horrible fact was disclosed. in a screaming first page
spread, that men wearing military uniforms and with side arms
strapped Ia their hips had been employed TO stand guard at the Dem
ing polling places. Ii was intimated that this was done to intimidate
voters and prevent their exercising their right of unrestricted choice
in marking their ballots. The inference, OF course. was that this
nefarious undertaking was a result Of a conspiracy of those sinister
Influences which, with the Headlight, !" the Dawn aud a few other
sources Of illumination, is synonymous with republican party" and
which Influence" the last two state elections have shown 10 eonsti
tute a very substantial majority of all the voters Of New Mexico.
The "Headlights 81 vOiferons exposure Of Deming's election day
disgrace was promptly echoed by the Santa Fe New Mexican, the
Dawn, etc, as illustrative of those devious election practices the sup
preston Of which these journals so sternly demand.
Now comes the democratic sheriff of Luna county, Mr.. Smyer.
vino announces IN a signed statement that by his authority one of his
deputies employed the men who were deputzed to police the Deming
polling places ON election day.
Says Sheriff Smyer in his signed statement;
Responsibility for polling arrangements was assigned
20 one OF my deputies, and he seeking to please all concern
cd and TO avoid even the appearance of craftsmanship, con
celyed the idea OF substituting members of the local cavalry
troop, who are non partisan in character and who belong 10
no particular faction, group or political party, for customary
police officers. WHO GENERALLY BELONG TO ONE OF
THESE CLIQUES. " . | believe that all fairminded
voters, regardless of faction, will agree with me that the po-
the best interests Of all concerned, and my authority for do
ing SO. on page 29, See. %, session laws of 1917"
Sheriff Smyers manly statement seems to clear up the Head
light s. election day scandal" very satisfactorily. 1t might be said
TO have cleaned it up, and the Headlight along with il.
This Deming instance is typical of the election scandals used so
persistenty by those in charge of the machinery of the democratic
party during recent years in their highly laudatory effort to convince
the rest of the nation that New Mexico is "a rotten borough

REPAIRS RADIO SET
in ROUGH WATER
Operator on Flying Boat Performs
Noteworthy Feat During Long
Flight.

AS an indication OF the efficiency
of naval radio operators the follow
ing from the official report of the
recent flight OF two planes from the
local station IS OF interest:
Aircraft radio: FILLS 1882 and
1895 returned from the Havana trip
and reported satisfactory communica-
tions.
"On their return they were copied
at a distance of 425 miles by this
station, but communication was not
established until they were distant
approximately 325 miles, due to local
interference from stations near the
planes.
while enroute to Havana, plane
1899 burned out her wave changer
switch and the transformer on her
transmitter. repairs We're effected by
the radio electrician without outside
assistance Except as furnished by
members Of the crew. and the set put
in operative condition. 1t was this
set which later was heard at a dis
lance of 425 miles.
'"rhis plane was forced to land in
rough water approximately 20 miles
south of Key West. Florida. At this
time the generator was removed from
the wing and mounted temporarily
in the slip stream of the propeller, by
which means communication was es-
tablished with the shore on the Skid
fin Antanna and report sent Of the
planes condition and position"
