No time to waste on applicants coming to office without appointment. State -C and' educational - qualifications. Mr. Elmer Walkers recent Imita tion of a malicious and spiteful spinster at a sewing circle does me a grave injustice. There Is jusc enough truth in part of what he cays to make it danger oub. He apptoached me on the 12th inst and stated that he had Put my name on a ticket, the week before at the court house, to run for coun ty surveyor. I told him that I Tfd not want the place end could nat run, he insisted, even after I told him that the chances were that I would be unable to qualify if elect-. ed He stated that the ticket had al ready been sent to the two papers In Elizabeth C ty. I made myself as plain as Is usually 'necemary when talking to those having human in te'legenee. I do not know what he thought was "implied." he knows thatT said 1 did not want the place; ;) the average man that would have been sufficient . If Mr. Walker stat ed the truth, to me when he said that my name was put on the week before, it was done without my Knowledge, if he d'd not state the truth, then he slipped one over on me," by making me believe that I was liefng notified and not thnt I was being asked if I would run on ticket that was being "slated' by him personally. I was led to be lieve that 1 was put on, at his sug gestion, by a party of citizens dur ing eouit we k. if I was not then the only way th-it I can construe his Insisting NWIM t Uw t he hears malice toward Mr John Walker, the present county surveyor, and wish- i d to use me to work an injury to him, even if It left the county with out an official survevor. I slated that if ever I seek an office it will he by nomination, un der the plans of organization, of the Democratic Party, that Is my style of a Democrat, if the majority or the members of my party want me then, that way, I will he proud to serve. If they do not want me I will not whine, whimper nor 'sling mud." Pollt'c Is not my way of making my living right now. I was trying to follow my pofesslon and- quietly attend to my own business, and not meddle with others, when Mr. Walker, as It appears now, ap pointed himself "dictator" of our county and decreed that I run for county surveyor. When I refuse and refuse through the press, he Is tou chy about the matter and thnks my holdng that I was not nominat ed by the Democratic Party, leads people to think that his ticket not Democratic. Why should they be so easily led to believe this? Mr Walker states that I said that my name appeared on a Democratic 'ticket in this county; I did not say this. I said ft was an Independent ticket. I did not then and do not 'now know what kind of a ticket It is. Mr Walker presumes to know whether or not the others on that ticket care to have their name afflll- 'ated with mine; let them speak for themselves, they are acquainted pith , me, I count them friends of m'ne with the exception of Elmer Headquarters Mexican Amelcan Commission, A lan ic City, Niw Jersey, October 5th. There will be no withdrawal ot American t roots from Mexico as a result of Carrauza's Insistence on" this point in the discussion of the American Mexican Peace Commis sion. General Pershing's column will not be withdrawn until foreign life and property are assured of safety South of the Rio Grande. It may be unwelcome news to cer tain bandits and other Mexicans who have been living off the fight Instead of the fat of the land, but there Is a scheme on foot to put Mex Ico to work. American mining interests are planning to put the Industrial ma chinery back into working order substituting the use of the pick shovel instead of , the rifle and sa bre as a national pastime. The American members of the, Commission have served notice, however, Jthat, erft;vweoiJ mining districts until the safety of life and property is assured, and this ma yl;e interpreted to mean that It is up to Carranza to get con trol of the Interior districts if he wishes his complaints about the withdrawal of American troops to have any weight. Walker, who was only a short time ago very anxious to "affiliate" his name wllit mine, go anxious that he put his name with mine without my consent. There is one truth he ut ters, my name has been taken off his ticket: I tcok it off. 1 voted for Mr. Elnier Walker two ears ago and to: that reason alone feel that maybe I am 'mentally in (itlie'ent .

I do not mean 'to say that Mr. Walker was to get anything out of this deal, I do not presume to Judge. Mr. Walker's Insinuation that I was "side-tracked by some vlcfbus Inffuence" Is false. I was not In fluenced by anyone whomsoever. The only one who has attempted is Mr. Walker who tried to persuade me to allow my name to be used for the "vicious" purpose -of un scrupulously deceiving my friends ,by running for an office that I did not feel sure that I could fill and vie iously" deprive a man of his usual vocation. The most charitable con struction I can give to Mr. Walker's 'action In this matter Is that two years of public office and desire for office has so prejudiced him that he does not seem to know right from wrong in this matter, I would feel badly aVmt his spiteful attack on me If I thought that anyone would believe him . or pay any attention to his misstatement of facts in this matter.
