Hagerman in Roswell denounces Democratic tactics and supports Hughes for president, calling for trustworthy policy on Mexico and national expenditures.

The piece argues Democrats boast of prosperity while it is earned from war-torn Europe. It recalls one million idle workers in Wilson's first year and a half, calling the era a psychological condition per the president, but a harsher term for the unemployed. It warns against renewed prosperity after the war and calls for caution when future coalitions form.

It defends Dreyfus against suits, cites a sheriff warrant, and accuses Cutting, Gillie Otero, and George Armijo of crude sensationalism while urging voters to defeat Jones for dereliction at the Interior.
The passage critiques Democrats for abandoning state’s rights and free silver, softening tariff for revenue only, and silent on high cost of living. It notes the cost of living rose under Wilson and Congresses and accuses Democrats of wanting to forget those issues after record extravagance.
