tax payer and a good citizen, YOU will
down the gang of ringsters, boodlers, dis
honest officials and immoral men, who
compose the great majority OF the DEM
ocratic ticket. There are candidates on
that ticket who are guilty Of malieasance,
dishonesty in public life, in business and
official life, and are we'll known through
out this community rs law breakers aud
az violat0rs Of the ten commandments.
Their names are notorious throughout
this country and need not be given; if
deemed convenient in the future they
will be given together with list of their
crimes and the accusations against them.
No man unless he has a pecun-
iary. interest in the election, OF
some of the candidates upon the
Democratic ticket, can afford to vote
for the ticket. No decent man can afford
to vote for it. no father OF family who
desires decency, morality and educational
facilities ia this community can cast his
vote for it. No citizen who holds prop
erty here, desires to live here, wishes to
see law and order obtain, hopes for pros
perity and an increase of population can
afford to cast his vote for the Democratic
county ticket. There are but two respect
able men on it and they are tainted by
being on the ticket and will rue the day
they allowed their names to 60 on it. For
it will be said, and it will be believed,
that birds of feather will flock together.
Upon the other hand, comparing the tick
ct man for man and candidate for candi-
date, it will be found by every citizen
who is not crazy upon political affairs,
who is not wickedly biased, who is not
member OF the ring that has robbed and
plundered this county for the past few
years, or who is not vicious, that the Re-
publican candidates, man for man, are
tax payers, valuable citizens, prominent
and public spirited members of the COM
munity, men who helped this community
in every conceivable shape, some Of them
men of great influence throughout the
territory, others eminent merchants, and
all of good, moral and unsmrched repu-
tations. That will be found to be the
case, unless a man is so blind that he will
not see, and of course in that case, he
will not find these facts as they exist.
With the exception of a Matchmaking
Democratic sheet here and another one
or two elsewhere, not single candidate
upon this ticket has ever been attacked
in his private, business, political or moral
character, and the attacks made by these
blackm&ling and scoundrely sheets are
without the least foundation OF any sort,
and are made for no other purposes than
blackmail, for few dollars consideration,
out of envy, spite and dirty jealousy,
and to draw attention from the bad nomi-
nations OF their own party.
The citizens of Santa Fe county, re-
gardless OF party, owe it to themselves,
to common decency and in order to have
honest and competent officials in Office
and to bring the scoundrels who have
disgraced this county, to justice, to vote
for the clean, able and good citizens
nominated on Saturday by the Republi-
can party OF this county in convention
assembled; in convention that DELHI
Grated carefully and patiently and was
composed of some of the best men in
this county and of citizens and tax pay
ers, who desired to better the condition
of affairs here, and to put stop to the
disgraoos-l, notorious and outrageous
plundering of the people and tax payers
that has obtained here, openly and above
board, during the past few years, and
will continue to exist, should the Demo
cratic ticket, through corruption, intimi-
dalton, fraud and the dishonest use of
public funds, be successful.
