cred here tonight to a large and
enthusiastic audience in the Rialto
theater.
Two subjects apparently have
been selected as the outstanding ls-
sues of the campaign in New
Mexico, the speaker said, describ-
ing these as the adjusted compen'
sation measure and the tariff. He
said, however, that he did not re-
gard the compensation measure az
an issue between the two major
parties.

voters is not the success OF any

parties that we must look, rather
than to the preferences or beliefs
OF individuals. The republican

and democratic principles was eN-

a national party, which takes INTO
consideration the best interests OF
the whole country. II protection
is GOOD for New Mexico, 1t Is good
for other states" the republican
nominee said.

on sugar which. he said, would not
benefit sugar producers In the
least, but would serve only to put

democratic nominee for senator,
now serving in the senate. voted for
that same tariff on sugar.
