The ignorant voters Of Saguache
county. who happen to be a major.
ity OF five, elected nm ignorant man
to represent them in the lower
house Of the 18th General Assem-
bly, by the name Of John Lawrence
- a statement OF his election ex.
penditures clearly shows. He says
he expended some over 1900 dur.
ing the campaign a. follows:
Some Of said money was spent
in treating my friends in saloons
I" whiskcy and cigars; some OF
said money was given TO my friends
for them to treat their friends, 70
ns to keep upn general good feel.
ing with my friends, 20 that my
enemies or opponents couldn't
persuade or buy them away from
m" on tho day OF election il they
were so inclined. Tho balance OF
the money w"s spent in having the
voters instructed so that they
might vote n fifteen emblem ticket
intellisently on the day Of elec.

We are pleased to know that
there is one popular newspaper
man in the valley. His name is
Oscar D. Bryan, the editor of the
Saguache Crescent. He WAS elect
ed county judge in his own county,
running ahead of his ticket a lon !;
way. 1t ls possible his name ac-
counts for his polling so heavy IL
vote but not probable. Watch
and see if every editor in the val
ley does not aspire to an Office
