DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

the Territory, too, he proved that a
man of character may have influence
even where the majority is over
whelmingly against him. He was the
lone Democrat in the Territorial
Council, and yet he made a record of
which he may well be proud. He was
nominated &or sheriff by the Demo-
Gratis because they thought he was
the best man they could find to beat
the best man in the Republican party
of the county, and Notwithstanding
the fact that he had just turned
down" the u S. Marshalship of the
Territory, he willingly accepted the
nomination of his own party for the
lesser Office of sheriff. Charley Bal
lard has spent nearly all his life in
this section of the country and is
personally acquainted with both the
population and geography of the
country. He is well informed regard
ing the laws of the Territory and in
just about the best man in the county
for the place.

w. M. Atkinson.

Honest Billie Atkinson. A man ev-
cry inch of him-a man amhlg men
beloved by all who know him. One
look in his face will inspire the con-
fidence of the most sceptical. And the
longer a man knows him the more
he will respect him. His open, liberal
treatment of all his fellows COM
mands admiration, and his square
dealings prove the honesty of his
character that is reflected in his de-
meanor and expression.
Billie Atkinson mas been in Chaves
county % years last August He is
one of the pioneers of the Valley, and
although he had to stand the fight of
the early border days. the trials only
seasoned the splendid stuff that COM
poses his makeup. He stands today,
after years of nard work in building
up this part of the Valley, one of the
staunchest, strongest, cleanest and
most respected of men. There is no
truth that can be uttered to his det-
riment. The only thing that could be
scraped up by the opposition in this
time of political differepces to say
against MIN vas that, as manager of
the Milne-Bush Land and Cattle Co.,
he was the representative of for
eign corporation. He is a Stockholder
and vice president of this company,
and certainly is not a foreigner.
Billie Atkinson is running for coun-
ty commissioner. He has been tried
and proven true. He ought to receive

Johnnie Peck is going in with one
of the biggest majorities of the

officers the county ever had, one of
the best Democrats in the whole

J.. T. Evans.

Judge Evans comes before the peo-
pie with a spotless official record
and asks for the opportunity of con-
tinuing his good service as Probate
Judge. Did anyone ever complain of
the manner in which the affairs of
the probate judges Office are con-
ducted? There is no use trying to
deny it, Judge Evans makes a care
full, accommodating and capable pro-
bate judge. He is, moreover, a big
hearted, whole-souled citizen and a

to the proper authorities, to be pre-
grand jury.
I'm compliance with your charge,
we have inspected the books of the
County Treasurer, Assessor, Probate
Clerk and Sheriff, and from our in
vestigation we believe the accounts
of these officials are correctly and
honestly kept.
I'VE have made an examination
of the Jail, and desire to say that we
are highly pleased with the good
sanitary condition of the jail at this
time.
I'VE have one recommendation to
make, and that is that the Grand Jul
ry room, and the room adjoining,
which is now being used as a kitch-
en- by the Sheriff. be combined, thus
making one large room for the ex-
elusive use of the grand jury while
it is in session. The room now at the
disposal of the grand jury is entirely
too small, and under present condi-
tions the grand jury works under
great disadvantage.
1--WE desire to thank your honor,
and all other officials with whom we
nave come in contact. for your uni
form courtesy, and kindly Offices:
and having finished our business for
this term of court, we would respect

Neighbor Gayle.

1t is a common saying that the
public cannot do better than return
to office a man who has been tried
and has given satisfaction. For that
reason Neighbor Gayle should be re-
turned to the Office of probate clerk
and recorder of Chaves county. He
is now serving his sixth term as re-
corder of this county, and every
term has increased his efficiency, un-
til now the Office is conducted almost
perfectly A more efficient and ac-
commodating officer could not be
found than Probate Clerk and Recor-
der Gayle.
Five times Neighbor Gayle was
nominated without opposition by
the Democrats. Twice he was elected
with no opposition on the Republican
ticket. The Republicans, in declining
to put up candidate against him.
thus paid him the highest compliment
Neighbor Gayle is interested in a
set of abstract books that are kept
in the recorders office. The facts to
be cleaned from this set of books are
vastly wider in fleir scope and more
easily accessible than the record
books of the county. Everybody who
calls for such information is given
the service free and with gentlemanly
grace by Neighbor Gayle. The serv-
Ice rendered to the pubic by the pres
ence OF these books in the recorders
office is worth to the county at least
a thousand dollars a year, yet Neigh
Dor Gayle renders it without even an
idea of charge. And it is the manner
of the man that counts. He treats
all callers alike. Neighbor Gayle is
a type of the fine old Southern gen
tleman, and his courtesy and nospi-
tality make the recorders office at
tractive to all who have business with
the office.

The present county surveyor is do
ing his work in a straightforward,
unpretentious manner. Not a word
has ever been said against him, eth
er in an official capacity on account
of his work, or against his private
and personal record. He will go in
with the regular Democratic majori-
ty and few votes from Republicans
who like to cast their ballots for a
clean, capable honest man.

Mark Howell.

Major Mark Howell, Democratic
candidate for county superintendent
of schools, has lived here so long
and his life mas been such that there
is naught to be said against him. He
has been active in school work and
active in laboring for the interests
of education all his life. The Roswell
school board recognized that fact
when they named the big school on
North Hill the Mark Howell school.
Moreover, he is qualified to attend to
the superintendency of both the
English and Spanish speaking schools
and was at one time teacher of
Spanish in the New Mexico Military
Institute. His qualifications >are all
that could be desired, and as he had
no opposition in the Democratic pri-
mary, mis- election is assured.
