FARMER LOSES LIQUOR

Oliver Desmaris appeared before
United States Commissioner c. D.
Watson at st. Adams on March g.
charged with having liquor in his
possession contrary to law. He
waived examination and was bound
over for appearance at the May term
of the United States district court
under bail of $1,000, which was fur
niShed.
A carefully planned raid by United
States customs officials and prohibi-
ton officers was made that morning
on the premises of Desmaris. He is
farmer living on the road between
the towns of Fairfax and Fletcher.
The raid resulted in the seizure of
351 quarts of Imperial rye whiskey,
valued under present prices at ST. 900.
The customs officials, who included
Deputies Mcclellan, Dawson, Webb
and Sulham, and Prohibition Officers
Kelley and Lewis, left early by auto
mobile They began a systematic
search of the farmhouse, which re-
suited in the discovery of eight bags,
in each of which was very neatly
packed two cases of the forbidden"
beverages. g..
A search of the barn near the
house disclosed two more bags and
some loose bottles in bin covered
with oats. The manner in which the
liquor was packed in sacks was some
thing new, this being the first time
that it has been discovered put up in
this manner. The liquor was taken
to st. Adams. -

NEW MEXICO SENATE
BATTLE WAKES WARM

ALBUQUERQUE n. NJ, Oct. 2S.-
One of the closest votes in the history
| of New Mexico is predicted as a result
| of the hot political battle waSed the
| last month between Senator a. A.
! Jones and Stephen S. Davis, il, Tor
the United states Senatorial toga, to
be awarded at the general elections
next week.
Although New Mexico has been con-
sidered in recent years to be nor
mallv" republican, Senator Jones. the
present incumbent is a Democrat and
is laving much stress in his campaign
for reelection upon his seniority in
the upper branch of Congress.
Davis. the Republican aspirant for
Senatorial honors, resigned from the
Supreme Court of the state to become
n candidate against Jones.
The tariff law recently passed by
Republican Congress is the leading is
sue in the campaign. as New Mexico
is vitality affected by the wool tariff
Both Jones and Davis have conduct
ed an extensive speaking campaign,
and many spcacrs have come in from
outside States to preach the gospel of
the respective political parties
A feature Of the campaign over
which the Democrats are highly elat-
ed is the fact that the Santa Fe New
Mexico. one of the oldest Republican
newspapers i'm the West. is favorable
to senator Jones recollection.
The contest for New MeXico's only
seat in the lower house of Congress,
between Mrs. Adelina Otero-Warren,
epublican, and John w. Morrow. DEM
ocrat. has waxed warm, hut not acrim-
ouious. Mrs Warren promises II
elected to impress Congress with the
necessity for turning over to the
schools Of New Mexico large grants Of
land. a task many New Mexican Con-
gressmen have failed to accomplish in
years Of TRYING. Because of the great
area Of the state and its comparatively
small population. the school financing
problem has always been a difficult
one FOR New Mexico.
