"It is with the prof uondtst sat satisfaction - isfaction satisfaction and feeling of unusual pride that we witnessed the hearty and most unusual wel welcome - come welcome home given by the people of this country, irrespective of party, to the "Great Commoner" and intrepid leader of our party, William Jennings Bryan. We look upon him as the embodi embodiment - ment embodiment of the hope and confidence that the common people have in a Democratic form of govern government. - ment. government. W e declare our favor of joint statehood with Arizona, under the provisions of the enabling act therefor, known as the Ham Hamilton - ilton Hamilton Bill, as it was finally pass ed by the unanimous vote of democratic and republican mem bers of Congress, and we trust the people of both New Mexico and Arizona will avail themselves of the liberal provisions of the enabling act, to enter the union of states in the only way Con gress, in its wisdom, seems will ing to provide. We are in favor of home rule in the appointment to all offices in the territory, aiid we are also in favor of the fullest self-government possible under the ter ritorial conditions, and the full control of all our internal affairs. We condemn the present iniqm tous fee system In existence in New Mexico for the compensa tion of county officials, which is a direct result of republican leg islation, and by which such offi officials, - cials, officials, are paid greatly in excess of the value of their services to the people of their respective counties, thus imposing unneces unnecessary - sary unnecessary and burdensome taxation.

Union county it should be elect elected - ed elected from top to bottom, The ticket is an exceptionally good one, being made up of men of ability and sound integrity, and the Democratic Executive Com Committee - mittee Committee being without a head, it devolves upon all good Demo Democrats - crats Democrats to put forth a special effort to see that the tbket is elected. The Democratic party should win, for it is the champion of the people's light the 'enemy of corporation greed, fostering of trusts and the ruthless squander squandering - ing squandering of the people's money.

We were in hopes that this elctiou would be conducted in a manner different from the last election that it would be free of fraud, but in this ,we are mistak mistaken, - en, mistaken, for even before election day the Republicans have commenc commenced - ed commenced their fraudulent practices. The first thing they did was to select for the Democrats on the registration board, a man. that can neither read nor write, and almost totally blind. The next thing they did was to place the voting boxes in Democratic pre precincts - cincts precincts in the most remote and out of the way places, faraway from the bulk of the voting popula population. - tion. population. They removed the voting places from Logan and Cimar Cimarron - ron Cimarron to places far away from the majority of the voters. Tnis kind of politics is coutemptable in the extreme, and we trust the voters will rebuke such nefarious conduct at the polls Tuesday next. What Democracy Stands For.
