Democrats ARE
NOT ON PARTY'S
PLATFORM DAVIS
Morrow and Jones Do Not
Agree on the Tariff Issue:
Mrs. Warren, Hill and
Delqado Also Speak.

Uhen Il. DAVIS, JF., CuHuludle lOi
United States senator, and Mrs. Ade-
lima Otero- Warren, candidate for
representative in congress. made It
clear that the republican party is
for America and Americans first,
and that it makes no appeals to
selfishness, to sectionalism, or to
class. The party's doctrine, they
said, is not one of expediency,
but rests upon the basis of COM
mon sense.
Both speakers criticized the eff
fort that they said had been made
to bring the American Legion in
New Mexico into politics, and to
make the adjusted compensation
for ex-service men a political
issue.
Not a Resident of Texas.
Charles J.. Hill, republican can
didate for governor, declared that
the attempts of his opponents TO
create the impression that he IS
resident of Texas are unfair and
their statements are untrue. lie
said he cast his first vote in New
Mexico while a resident Of Albu--
uueruue in 1906, and that he had
been voting in Dona Ana county,
where he has resided on his
ranch ever since 1907. 81 have
never paid a cent of taxes in
Texas" said Mr.. Hill, land / am
glad to say that / have paid taxes
in New Mexico and thus aided in
the upbuilding of the state"
NT,s nfarn- LNn IRON declared
that the principal subjects for
discussion in this campaign are
the tariff, adjusted compensation
for service men, and economy.
She said tina. the republican
policy in regard to the tariff Is
based on a belief in Americans
and O desire to protect them. 1t
is better" she said ITO produce
what we need rather than buy
foreign products and send our
money away. This can be done
under the protective tariff prin-
ciple, by protecting our home
producers" Mrs. Warren SAID
that the protective tariff is a
countrywide policy, and not for
the benefit of any particular state.
In regard to compensation, she
declared that she stands on the
republican platform, which prom
Uses justice to the American SOL
der.
q. o. +. Reduced Expenses.
In discussing economy in gov
ernmental expenditures Mrs. war
rem called attention to the fact
that the republican party in the
first three months of its incum-
bency reduced expenses by ST.
700, 900, and so far has reducesI
the national debt by three bill
lions of dollars. She said a great
step toward economy had been
taken by the adoption by the re-
publicans of a national budget
law. This is the same measure
she said. that was vetoed by
President Wilson.
In her discussion Of state ex-
penditures, Mrs. Warren said that
under statehood educational ad-
vantages for the boys and girls
had been greatly improved. Sixty
per cent OF taxes goes, she said
for education, and approved ex-
penditures for schools, which
have increased terms in country
districts from four and five
months a year to nine months.
She said she favored a change in
the state law which will permit a
teacher to be paid what she is
worth.
Deciding State Lands.
Mrs. Warren suggested that the
government deed to the state all
federal lands in it's borders so that
the revenue may be used for school
purposes. If this is not done, she
said, congress should be prevailed
upon to give the state an appro-
priation for schools equal to the
revenue these lands would pro-
duce.
Mrs. Warren said she favored
federal aid for schools, but OPP
posed federal regulation OF edu-
cation, unfolding the right of par
ents to say what books their child
rem should study and what schools
they should attend. She declared
herself in favor of legislation, OF
an amendment to the constitution
If necessary, to provide an ade-
quate child labor law.
Il want TO serve New Mexico,
Mrs. Warren said in conclusion,
mot to gain fame for myself but
to render service. No matter what
the outcome of this election, | am
going to work with you for the
development ard welfare of our
beloved New Mexico"
Mrs. Davis dealt principally with
q to- f.r4 hA nlflt Gre
and the tariff. He said the repub-
ican position on the tariff has
always been an effort to SO equal
izc the cost of production at home
and abroad as to give the Amerl-
can producer, manufacturer, farm
err and laborer, protection from
foreign competition. Mr.. Davis
said his democratic opponent is not
standing on lua democratic princi-
pies Of free trade or tariff for rev.
enue only. nu, ~ advocating pro-
lection fol New Mexico products
and no protection for the prod
ucts of other states.
Policy OF Sclfishness.
Mr.. .1aNis CRITICIZED Senator
Jones for following, according to
his own assertion, O policy Of self
ishness so far as New Mexico is
concerned. He said the republi-
can party is a national party, con-
ferring protection on all states
alike. How Senator Jones could
be a protectionist for New Mexico
and free trader for other states,
he said he could not understand.
In illustrating his point, Mr.. Da-
Wis said that John Morrow, DEM
ocratic candidate for congress,
speaking on the same platform
with Senator Jones. had advocated
o high protective tariff on wool,
o. New Mexico product, but had
opposed a tariff on sugar, as he
declared it was only for tho pur-
pose of putting money into the
pockets of the sugar trust. Sena-
tor Jones had declared for high
duty on sugar, fact that Mr.. Nor
row seemed to have forgotten.
Il can see in the democratic ar
gument In this campaign" said
