The Candidates on the Regular Republican
Ticket Are Taxpayers and Honest
and Efficient Men.
VOTE FOR GOOD COUNTY GOVERNMENT

Even the Democrats can urge naugh
against the character and the ability o.
Jose e. Gomez, who runs with Hon. B
NJ. Read on the regular Republican tic
ket for the council. Mr.. Gomez is Ger.
tain to poll large vote and should be
elected with a handsome majority.
An. G. de Baca, the candidate for pro-
bate judge on the regular Republican
ticket, will attend strictly to business ir
case of his election. He speaks English
Huently, and there will be no vexatious
and costly delays with him in charge OF
the probate judgeship.
surveyor on the regular Republican tic
ket, is a young man of quiet, indus
triOus and sober demeanor, who is ar
excellent surveyor and would make ar
official of whom Santa Fe county would
have every reason to be proud.
| j. f. Lacome, the candidate for sher-
iff on the regular Republican ticket, will
| give his whole time to the work of his
office if elected. There will be no shield
/ ing of criminals or any underhanded
doings in the management of the coun-
ty Jail, and the citizens of the county
will do we'll in casting their ballots for
him.
|
| Ambrosio Ortiz, the candidate for
probate clerk, should be elected by all
means. The county records are too i'm
portant to be entrusted to any but a
strictly honest, sober, trusted man. Mr..
Ortiz is so we'll known that it is idle to
dilate on his high moral character and
his undoubted ability to administer the
duties of the probate clerk with expe-
dtion and with honesty.
David M. White, who heads the regu-
lar Republican ticket as candidate for
| the council, is young man of energy
and ambition, who has done hard work
for the Republican party which should
be rewarded by handsome vote on
Tuesday. Mr.. White in the council
would make his influence felt on COM
mittees and in looking after the inter-
ests of Santa Fe county Vote for him.
X
All signs indicate that Hon. B. M.
Read the regular Republican candidate
| for the house will poll the biggest vote
| ever given a candidate for the legsla-
| ture in this county in late years. Mr..
Read is popular with all elements. and
as he is a man who has praperty inter-
ests in Santa Fe county, who has had
experience and who has ability, his
election. which seems to be a foregone
conclusion. will be to the benefit of
| Santa Fe county.
| John V. Conway, the candidate for
superintendent Of schools on the coun-
| ty ticket, is hustler. He is progress
| sive and modern in his ideas about
schools, and the excellent school sys-
| TEN of Santa Fe in part owes it's exis-
tence to his energy. After he is in Of
| flee there will be some healthful i'm
provements in county school matters
! Santa Fe county to attract new settlers
should have a good public school sys-
| tenn, and John V. Conway is the man
| who will pave the way for the establish
ment of such a system.
Honest" Major Fred Muller is the
| ideal candidate for tax collector. and if
| indications go for anything, he will run
ahead of every other candidate on all
the three tickets as far as the number
of votes he will poll is concerned. Major
Muller's fitness for the position of COL
lector and treasurer has been never
questioned, and he adds still more
strength to the strong regular Republi-
can ticket. A vote for Major Muller
means the honest collection of taxes
without harshness or injustice to any
one.
The regular Republicans are proud of
the name of Atanaso Romero on their
ticket as candidate for assessor. The
assessorship is highly important Of
flee. and upon it depends to a greater
part the future of the county. Just and
equitable assessments by a man who
has the interests of the county at heart.
are the necessity of the hour and with
them the tax rate of the county will be
reduced eventually. There should be no
doubt about Mr. Romero's election by
! a handsome plurality.
| The regular Republican candidates
for county commissioners are men with
business experience and just the kind
of officials who should have charge of
county affairs during the next two
momentous years when the county debt
must be adjusted. Mr.. Dudrow has had
ample experience in county affairs and
always stood for economy and honesty.
Mr.. Kennedy is a man whose honesty
and uprightness of character make him
one of the most trusted men in the
county, and if he is elected, of which
| there seems to be no doubt, he will
make model county commissioner.
Jose A. Lujan, too, will make good
| commissioner. and his host of friends,
that he has gained through his upright
ness of character, will rally to his sup
rrt on election day.
