gross tomorrow to deal with the try
ing problems Of taxation and tariff
reform finds the political leaders Of
both parties with their attention
riveted on the state of New MeXi-
co, where the Harding administra-
ton comes to trial before the voters
for the first time since the Republi-
can landslide of last November.
New Mexico is electing a United
States senator today at a special
election called by Governor Nee
chem. The present incumbent is
Holm o. Bursum, Republican, who
wash appointed to take the seat Of
Albert B. Fall upon the latters res.
ignatiOn when be entered President
Harding's cabinet
Political leaders in Washington at
taeh an importance to todays cleo.
ton in New Mexico which at first
blush seems wholly out Of keeping
with the event. The loss Of one seat
in the United States Senate would
bother the Republican working ma
iority there not one whit. Even
should the Democrats win today's
New Mexico election the Republicans
still would have a majority in the
Senate of twenty-one-entirely suf-
ficient for all Administration pule
poses.
Administration Assaulted.
But of far more Importance than
the mere seat is the prestige at
stake. and to save this prestige the
Republicans are making strenuoUa
efforts to have Senator Bursum re-
turned. The Democrats are MAKING
even more strenuous efforts to IN
seat him.
Both sides have sent speakers OF
note into New Mexico to do battle
and the State has resounded to the
partisan cries of orators.
The issue is clean-cut, and it was
accepted by both sides with salts
faction. Senator Bursum is making
his race for reelection on the rec
ord of the Harding Administration
in the first six months in office, ana
the policies which it has announced
it will pursue.
The Democrats have gleefully ac-
cented this challenge. Richard Fl.
Hanna, the Democratic candidate
has attacked the Harding Admins,
itration all along the line, has pald
inarticular attention to taxation, Tar
iiff and the soldiers bonus. He mas
accused the Administration OF dIl!5-
ldallving with taxation and tarlH
while the country marches to eco,
nomic rum, and he has chaIgea
downwright evasion aud lack q faltA
with regard to the soldier bonus.
Both Republican and Democratic
headers in Washington say privately
that today's election in New Next

out of proportion to the seat itself

New York and Massachusetts to con-
tinue the so-called daylight saving
law. In both states the governor was
elected partly on the issue Of repeating
this law 30 as to maintain standard
time In summer IS 10 winter. Now the
city people and chambers Of commerce
are lining up to force Congress to apply
fake time throughout ell the eastern
states. II they get that, they will not
rest until fraud time Is enforced through
out the nation by national law.
The working people in cities and
towns and millions Of parents join farm
ers in resisting the inquiry of such fool
time. To farmers it is a desperate
matter. They have suffered such re-
verses and now are confronted by such
q crisis that u force fraud time up o.

Farmers never went on strike. but
they will be justified inso doing If they
