THE WHY'S AND THE WHEREFOREs

The voters of San Juan county
can go to the polls next Tuesday 70
support the Democratic ticket, with
the rooster at the head, with the
full assurance that every candidate
upon it is worthy of their fullest
confidence and support. The cam
paigji closing has been one of more
OK less bitterness and personalities
have been INDUCED in by the vari-
Gus factions to a greater extent,
perhaps, than usual. THE INDEX
is willing to concede that the men
who are candidates on the bolters
or opposition ticket are men Of hon
est purpose and faiay capable. II
10 not a question Of Individuals so
much as it is a question Of good
government for the county There
never was a better ser Of officers in
any county than those we have in
San Juan county now, and there
never was a more sincere effort made
to administer county affairs in a
straightforward and impartial man
ner.
In spite Of the incessant howl that
has emanated from the cakewalkers
and bolters and their organ in this
campaign, not ono single discredit-
able or improper action has been
charged against any Of the officers
nor any Of the nominees of the
Democratic and Republican county

tickets. The present administration
stands simply for honesty and
economy in the county government
and for the progress and prosperity
of the county itself.
AS for the clique which is seeking
the election Of the bolters or anti
fusion ticket, it has never done any
thing for the benefit Of the county
and doesn't even promise to do 50
now. The clique owns anewspaper
which has not paid taxes for some
years and refuses to pay them now.
In the clique are men who have not
paid their own taxes, and who if
they had an administration favor
able to them, would seek to escape
pay ing them in the future
