Mr. Gilbert "also ran."
Threats of libel suits do not win
votes.
The man who puts on most airs is
usually all wind.
And Welter carried even the jun
gle south of the dead-line.
"Explanations that served yester
day will have to be revised today.
To those who also ran: Never
count your votes until election day,
It is one thing to count promises,
and quKe another thing to count
votes.
Not quite one-senventh of the vot
ers of Roswell are. in favor of the
"wide-open" policy.
Nearly three to one Is what Welter
did to the man who had "a cinch on
the Mexican vote.'
Knocking the stuffing out of politi
cal scarecrows seems to be another
good use of the "big stick.
If President Roosevelt should come
out on the Democratic ticket in 1908
he would get the Solid South all
right.
It was all good-humored enough
but quite the most exciting election
for justice of the peace ever held in
Roswell.
Mr. Kilgour made a good race, con
sidering the fact that his name was
not mentioned until the morning of
election day.
The candidates for constable were
all good meq, and ran mighty close
together. There is no dissatisfaction
with the result.
The day when, the "sporting" ele
ment controls in Roswell has passed
The town has reformed and settled
down to business.
'Another good effect of abolishing
licensed gambling in Roswell is that
there is now only & handful of the
element that was once the supreme
power in local politics.
The new councilman from the Third
ward has reason to be proud of the
confidence shown by a practically
unanimous election. It is now up to
him to deliver the goods.
The Record iiaa no objection to
Judge Gate wood exercising all the
Influence he can in politics, but he
should be a little more careful in the
selection of his candidates If he hopes
to .win.
There were a half dozen good men
defeated for justice of the peace. But
with the number of candidates in the
field, a bad man might have been
. elected. The Record believes that the
best man woo.
One good thing about President
Roosevelt Is his willingness to learn.
He made'an early start on the negro
question that was unfortunate, but
he seems to be sincere in his desire
to get right.
Kansas has elected a railroad attor
ney to succeed Senator Burton who
is now In Jail,- The new senator, Cur
tis, was backed by the same gang and
the same corporate Interests that
placed Burton in the senate.
Some people say that had the Re
publicans brought ooc Mr. Kilgour
two or three days earlier he would

ocrats a little sooner and made the
the Welter vote larger.
Mr. Welter's vote was considerably
more than the combined vote of the
two men next highest, and equal to
the combined vote of the other five
candidates below these two. All oth
er explanations of the result are su
perfluous.
Elder C. C. Hill is perhaps the hap
piest man in town over the election
of Welter. Some other ministers also
did good work for Welter but it
was a fight with Elder Hill that dates
farther back, to a time when the old
Fourth ward push "ate him up alive,
It might be a good idea for the
"sports" to sing low. There is a very
strong and growing sentiment In Ros
well that is not even satisfied with
high license and prohibition of gam
bling. There are lots of people who
would like to vote the saloons out
of Roswell.
President Roosevelt's hint that he
may nominate negroes for several fed
eral positions in Ohio and see if the
Senators will vote to confirm them
is taking a mean advantage. The
Southern negroes, not the Ohio ne
groes," are the ones for whom the
hearts of Foraker and Dick bleed.
Kansas City Times.
A.p. Millice again comes to the
Daily Record with his troubles that
is to say his question bureau has
been re-opened, and interesting sug
gestions iwill be found in his ads
from day to day. Answering questions
is a part of his business and the
truth of his assertions, are proven by
showing inquirers the goods.
President Roosevelt has 'made more
friends in the South than any Repub
lican President the country ever had.
People are beginning to see that he
neither loves nor hates the negroes
and doesn't care a continental how
they vote. Some of his theories may
fail to solve the race problem but
when he runs up against hard facts
he seems to believe in using any old
club that happens to be handy.
Perhaps the Record owes It to S
P. Denning to explain that Mr. Den
ning never was a candidate for coun
cilman, refusing first, last and all the
time to aliow his name to be consid
ered. However, Fred J. Beck and the
editor of the Record formed a con
spiracy to work up sentiment In his
favor so that he might be forced to
accept the nomination. There was no
trouble about the sentiment being his
way, and even Mr. Robinson would
never have become a candidate had
not Mr. Denning refused to run. Mr.
Robinson proved to be the only pa
triot willing to sacrifice his time in
working for the city.

TRUCK FARMING IN -
THE PECOS VALLEY.
From Lake wood Progress. - .
The Lakewood commercial club last
Wednesday evening had under discus
sion, "The benefits and profits to be
derived from truck farming." A. num
ber - of splendid speeches .were made
by those who had had considerable
experience along this line. - It was the
sense of the Club that no sort of farm
tag was as profitable as truck: farming
Where it could be carried on success
fully and where a market could be
found for the products.
It has been clearly demonstrated
that no section of the world produces
more vegetables to the acre than the
Pecos Valley, and as to quality and
flavor, it is a conceded fact that the
products of this section are far super
ior to all others The finest flavored
cantaloupes in the world are grown
in the Pecos Valley -and they always
command a fair price.
Tomatoes, cabbage, onions, celery,
radishes, turnips and many other va
rieties simply grow to perfection here
and are all paying crops.
The club appointed a committee to
take up the matter of freight rates
with the railroads and express com
panies, and endeavor to secure re
duced rates for these products and
we are sure that a satisfactory agree
ment can be reached. And df not,
the truck farmer can successfully pre
serve his surplus of vegetables for fu
ture use and sale. We are reliably
informed that some of our merchants
are now handling tomatoes canned by
Mr. Boyd who lives only a few miles
from town.
Let those who are in a position to
engage in truck farming think over
this matter, and we will later an
nounce the result of the committee's
work as to rates and securing a mark
et for these products.
