WILL YELL WITH US.

The Democrats of Chaves county must
have named some mighty good men for
the county Offices this year. In the Off
cial proceedings of the Chaves county
Republican convention, held at Roswell
on Wednesday last, We find the following
~. P. Dargitz made motion that the
convention indorse the nomination oil
@. W. Haynes, the Democratic candidate
for sheriff, carried.
"W. F. Prayer moved to indorse F. P.
Gayle, Democratic candidate for probate
clerk, carried.
"E. A. Cahoon moved to indorse the
nomination of Park Lea, Democratic
candidate for assessor, carried.
"E. D. Balcomb moved that W. G. Ur-
ton and W. M. Atkinson, Democratic can
didates for county commissioners for
districts Nos. l and 2, be Endorsed and
that j. B. Dargitz be nominated for COM
missioner for district No. 3, carried"
Evidently the Republicans of Chaves
county have become aware of the fact
that this is Democratic year in New Mex
leo and they do not propose that it shall
be their fault if they can't yell when the
votes are counted on November 8.
