sources to help build you up to a

Sam w. Hardwick came to Tu-
cumcari at the opening OF the
townsite and has lived continuous
ly here ever since, now residing
on his homestead with his mother
west of the city limits. Hard
wick is young and energetic and
ready for duty anywhere or at any
time he is called n an official ca
pacity. He is now constable and
deputy sheriff, having bee elect
ed constable in January 1905. 1t
is unnecessary for this paper to
elaborate as to who Hardwick is
as the people know him as a man
and as an official, and when they
learn of his announcement will
readily make up their minds
whether or not they want him for
City Marshal. Sam promises in
case he is elected that he will do
his duty as he understands it at all
times and on all occasions. You
will notice his announcement in
this issue.

Jno. M. Lawson has announced
his candidacy in this issue of the
News for the office of CITY Mar
shall of Tucumcari. Mr.. Lawson
has had several years of experience
as under sheriff and city marshal
at Tecumseh, Okla, and has, we
are informed, a clean record and
the reputation of a splendid official
service. Lawson was marshal of
Tecumseh in 1878 and deputy
sheriff in 1899 and 1000 and his
acquaintance here who knew him
while in office speak very highly
of his ability in this kind of work,
He came here about one year ago
and has since that time been run.

The appearance of Tucumcari
could be wonderfully improved if
the people would decide on a dav
IN the proper season to plant trees
along the main streets, yes, and
the residence portion as we'll. We
were out on the p arJarita Tuesday
and saw hundreds, many hundreds
OF as nice young cotton wood trees
as could be had anywhere that q
halt-dozen people could go out
there and take them up and move
them TO town ready to put them
out in good condition in one dav.
1t would be worth the cost and
much m ore to property owners to
do this and as soon as possible.
The trees do not need irrigation
after they begin to take root as is
clearly demonstrated bv the cx-
p]crlcncc OF those who have tried
trees here the past two years.

among the towns most progressive
citizens, and now has through
his application to business n OF
the best City Transfer and Dray-

tells us that he has never had any
experience IN iris line of work but
should the office be intrusted to
him he will put forth every effort
to see that the ordinances Of the

Judgment and thoroughly capable

The News has heard some com
mcnt this week pro and con about
the incorporation Of Tucumcari,
mostly pro, but one thing in partic-
ular we want to call the attention
OF the voters to and that is the re-
port hat the Tucumcari Wool
Securing Plant has been left out
Of the district to be incorporated.
This is a mistake, the plant is in
the corporate limits and the COM
pany want it in the corporate
limits and will aid the matter of in
corporation in any way they can,
considering that the protection to
their interests is worth a great deal
more to them than it will cost,
The News has taken particular
pains to interview a stakeholder
and know whereof we speak.

PETERS MAKES CHARGES.
Accuses South Carolina and Georgia
Farmers of Bad Faith.

Dallas, Texas, February 9.-In an
address and appeal to the farmers of
Texas today ex-Vice President E. S.
Peters of the Southern Cotton Assocla-
ton, accused Harvey Jordan and other
officials Among other things he said:
cat meeting of cotton growers, held
IN Shreveport in December, 1904, they
had a resolution introduced to prohib-
it the growing of cotton in Texas.
which was voted down, and a Texas
resolution to reduce acreage planted III
cotton and use of fertilizers 25 per
cent was carried. Texas people went
home from that meeting and in good
faith carried out their part for reduc-
ton OF acreage, as the crop proceeds
show. What about our friends from
South Carolina and "Jaw-Jaw?" What
did they do? Well, the crop they
raised shows that these States have al
ready ginned the largest crop they
ever had with the single exception OF
one year, and that may be exceeded
when the crop has been all ginned.
Organization is the only way to Sc
ccre success and the farmers should
join The Farmers Union as it is a
farmers organization "of farmers, by
farmers and for farmers"
