to me but the democratic central
committee has attempted to do so
and here is what it has produced,
Endowed with a capacity for for
getting, that it is a national demo-
cratic characteristics, the democrat
ic central committee has come
forward and said that the COVER
nor of the state by making use
of three state agencies can do a
| lot towards controlling county eX-
Ipenditures and reducing lakes,
The democratic committee names
three agencies: the tax commits
sion the educational auditor and
/ the state travelling auditor, and
With a most delightful Inconsistent
cy entirely ignores, or else for
gotten. the fact that the most
strenuously worded plank in their
platform is the one which they as
sert that the office of state tray
cling auditor is a device of corrupt
politicians and that it should be
abolished. In other words, If they
elect Mr. Hinkle as governor they
are pledged to take away from him
one out of three of the agencies
which they say he can use to carry
out his program of retrenchment,
Favor Present School System.
This is interesting because 1t
indicates az clearly as anything
could that the democrats have
been unable TO make the people
believe either the charges that
they have made in regard TO waste
ana extravaganza or the charges
that they have made of corruption
in office of state travelling audi
tor 1t has not been necessary
though, for the dem )crats TO fur-
nish US with this last pice of evil
dence in regard to the failure of
their campaign. We found that
out some time before this was
brought out that nowhere in the
state has Mr.. Hinkle been able to-
convince the people that what he
says about the terrible condition
of affairs is true. l have found
everywhere that l have been that
the hers are in favor of the
present system of schools and that
they are anxious to see them main
tanned and kept up to their pres
ent standard The mothers do not
want to go back to the old two
roonl4 school house and the four
monffisAterm and neither are there
any ofthe people that have talk
ed to in favor of Mr.. Hinkle's plan
of road building. He says not to
build surfaced roads, to grade up
the natural dirt and that that isl
good enough for New Mexico.
81 do not think that is good
enough for New Mexico and any
how, if his idea was carried out,
it would cost the people more in
loss of time in getting from one
place to another and in wrecked
automobiles several times over
than it will cost them to continue
our present system.
Platforms Compared.
"Of course, everything that we
do in this state has to be done with
two prime objects in view. What
ever we do we must do for the con-
structive betterment and advance
ment of the state and we must do
it as economically and efficiently
as possible. The democratic plat
form is document which is made
criticism and Mr.. Hinkle's
up solely of condemnation and de-
has been waged exactly
in accord with his platform. The
republican platform is construc-
tive and progressive and l have
tried to AXE the character of my
accord with it.
II promise the people of New
Mexico that as their governor |
will do all that l can to serve them
and honestly; that | \
will carry out the pledges that my
party has made for mo and that
If an economical business admin
istration is the kind of an admin
lstration that the people want,
that's the kind of an administra-
ton that | will give them"
