DECLINED TO PERMIT A
SQUADRON TO DEFENJi
AMERICANS.
At Tamplco there wa a gen
eral Movement of attack by he
Mexjcaria on Americans and
other foreigners. We haa a
squadron of American warships
in the neighborhood. The Wil
son Administration declined to
permit this squadron to be used
to defend the lives of American
men and the honor of American
women, and the commanders of
the German and English ships
at Tampico had to step In and
perform the task our represen
tative had so basely abandoned.
At the very time that the Mexl
can mob had surrounded the
building In which the Americans
had taken refuge, and was howl
ing for thbir blood, the Ameri
can fleet, In spite of the pro
tests of the American naval
commander, and In accordance
with wireless orders from Wash
ington, was forced to steam out
of the harbor and leave the Am
ericans to be massacred by the
Mexicans, or rescued by the
Germans and Engilh. From
the speech of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, delivered at Lewis

ANDRIEUS A. JONES and William B. Walton, Democratic candi
dates for Congress, have refused to take on the load of defending
the McDonald adminltration. They have declined to campaign with
or near to McDonald or de Baca. They have determined to teAm.lt
alone.
The Democratic candidates hava spilt Into two factions one
consisting of Jones and Walton; the other of McDonald, de Baca and
the Mud Bucket. Doth factions have agreed that the rest of the ticket
may drift
News of trouble among the Democratic candidates did not "leak
out" from Santa Fe. It burst out. It began to come during the first
conference of the bosses on campaign policy and it has been coming
ever since until even local Democratic leaders throughout the state
know the details of the split.
It wt3 proposed to Jonea that he take on his fellow townsman,
Mr. de Baca, and attempt to put hlia over. The Jones reply. In effect,
was that he was not running a hospital, but was running for the
United States Senate; that he had not spent the last four years In the
Interior Department delivering land content decisions for deserving
Democrats for nothing, and that he proposed to take no chances with
such chances as he has.' Defonding himself and President Wilson, he
paid, was all the load one senatorial candidate could stand.
The second proposal was that Walton should campaign the Pecos
country with Governor McDonald, Just to prova to the boys that there
Is no hard feeling. Billy, tha InRlders say, asserted vehemently that
It couldn't be done. He was not the boy, he told them, to prove to the
Democrats that McDonald is one of them. And as for the McDonald
record, he merely pointed to the Senate Journals! of the past, fro ses
sions, wherein he voted "no" on the record from start to finish. It
might be, he said, that it could he proven to some that McDonald had
been merely experimenting with the governorship during the past
four and a half years, and that as de Baca's understudy and heir
apparent, the governor might make good if givrn another chance;
but he, Walton, was not the boy to do It. As on official defender of
the McDonald administration, he feared Bill Walton would prove a
fizzle.
Then the party spilt occurred. Jones and Walton joined forces
In mutual defense. McDonrld, lacking an alternative, took oa the Job ,
of putting ovr the lieutanant governorship and its prospects by blra
polf. The conditions did not admit of debate. Jor.es and Walton
rought the furtherest corner of the state from the objective point ot
McDonald, the Pecos Valley. They left for the San Junn country.
McDonald, de Baca and the Mud Bucket mailed on their frit tour
alonsr the Pecos.
This Is the Democratic campaign line-up today. The heads of the
ticket may come trgether on state occasions, like the State Fair at
A-Ibuquerrjuo, for the sake of appearances. They will not stick to
gether long. (Jones has been flattered Into a sincere belief that he can
be electel to the Senate. He propopes to taks no chances with the
defense of nnv record but his own. Walton cannot go with McDonald,
even if he wished. The governor was against him for the nomination
for Congress and Is against him now. lie roust team It with Jones or
go alone.
His abandonment by Jones Is held to account for the bitter reck
lessness of speech Governor McDonald displayed on his opening tour
on the Pecos. In the past the governor has spoken with restraint and
dignity, even when veracity was lacking. Those who have seen him
on the platform say he Is angry and that he is worried over the record
he baa written and the fact that he has been left to defend It abso
lutely alone. He appears to have started on the long Job of talking
down his record and In his effort has exceeded the Mud Bucket in
disregard of well-known farts. This has required him to go the limit,
for the Mud Bucket, or Gillie Otero, as he Is known in exclusive mil
lionaire club circles In Santa Fe has been dipping deep Into his own
not far distant record ns a Republican parasite for hla supply or muck.
''The best little governor New Mexico ever had," as the buyers
of state tlmLer lands used to affectionately call Gillie, says he has
beconio so staunch a Democrat that ha would vote for the worst Demo
crat against the best Republican for any office. Otero has not yet
referred to "The Official .Sheep Ranch," probably because he knows
that his new-found Democratic brothers remember all the harrowing
details of that once promising Institution of the days when Gillie was
a staunch Republican for revenue only.
It is a happy little party that has been touring the Pecoa. Da
Baca Is quoted as having said that he regrets his nomination; Gillie
is suspected of regretting his record; and McDonald has left no doubt
in the minds of anyone as to how he feels about hlg own.
To date the only team work In the Democratic campaign line-up
is unanimous regret that the McDonald record cannot be disposed of
as they were accustomed to dispose of Democratic political notes In
ihe First State Bank of Iifis Cruces. That useful Institution, unfor
tunately for the Democratic party, has blown up. There are grave
fears that Governor McDonald Is about to do likewise.
"DESERVING DE RIO CHATS."
Howell Ernest was removed from office by legislative act because
he was nn6t to hold tha position of auditor. When he had been
ousted it was found and proven that he could not keep hia own ac
counts straight. He made a settlement of his accounts npon de
mand of tbp state. Yet tfcDonald forced this man into vbat is pro
buhl y the most important position in the state under present condi
tions; that of secretary of the state tax commission; a post where
every interest in New Mexico, public and private, demands a man ot
intelligence, of financial experience and of sound judgment. It is not
Ernest who is to blame for the unhappy events which have occurred
iu the departments with which he haa been connected. It is tha
fault of the man who appointed him.
