Review of the Party of Self-Called Re-
form Which Displays the Democrat
Donkey in It's Disguise.
WHY MARRON FIELD AND BURKHART ARE WORKING HARD
1t Is Merely Disrupt the Republican Party and Open the
Way For Democrat Success In
the Future.

for the honor" of the position; you
know that Neil B. Field is not issuing
from the stump the clarion call of the
peoples ticket as an altruistic pa
triot. If you are familiar with local
political sentiment, you know it is the
first time in years that the demo-
cratic party in Bernalillo county has
had an opportunity to figure in a con-
test, even in minor role You know
it's leaders are making the most of
the opportunity-not to win for demo
cratic principles, but to disrupt the
republican party-to work" the peo
pies ticket following for what 1t is
WORTH, to enlist you, Mr.. Reader, to
assist democratic prestige.
When growing dissension in the
democratic party over the exposure of
Marron's scheme to gobble county
funds could not longer be pacified, the
boss" played his trump card-forced
the peoples ticket to send out the
ballots bearing the Larrazolo sticker,
and you, Mr.. Reader, are counted on
as the victim. And along with your
LarraZolo stickers you find a heaven
ly paean Ginning the siren song OF
reform, anti-graft, anti-BOSSISM.
In the rural precincts you will find
little effort has been made by the
peoples party leaders to interest a
statehood vote. Voters who would
not accept a ballot bearing the LARA
zolo sticker were given one bearing
no name. Delegate w H. Andrews
was ruled out. Why? You can draw
your own conclusions as to the rea
political complexion of the peoples
| ticket. You can judge for yourself
who is in control of the ticket on the
eve of election-the bolting republ-
cans or o. n. Marion, democratic
boss" You will not have to seek far
to ascertain the principles involved
the real leaders have played theiI
hand-democracy is being whipped
into line-"reform" has melted to an
indiscernible echo, and democracy
for democrats waves rampant in
stead
If you have been influenced by the
/ claims of the peoples ticket candi-
dates, ask yourself whether you have
been convinced by logic or prejudiced
by plausible claims and unconfirmed
| accusations. AS an intelligent voter

value. You have seen the most ques-
tionable methods, petty politics, in
compatible alliances, unwarranteC
personalities indulged-in the name
of reform and pure politics. Through
all the vituperation, appeals, subter
fuge and boss-imbued scheming, have
you been given one iota of logical ar

serting republican principles, to en-

power, whose administration has cost
the county more than ever before in
its history. Can you support the vaunt

office-hungry leaders-foT a dainty
sweet scented flower of reform
which faded, shriveled and died be-

beneath the heel of democratic boss
