| know the sheriff is entitled

mission for the collection of these
taxes, but L believe the emolutions
of the Office are sufficient without

the additional 4 or 5 mills can
either be left in the pockets of the
taxpayers or spent on a good road
system and general improvements
throughout the parish, the dis
position, of course, to be left to
the discretion of the taxpayers.
The Office of Sheriff offers a
splendid opportunity to make the
general running expenses enorm-
Gus under a strained interpret1-
tion of the law. l believe unjust
claims have been paid under this
Interpretation thereby giving the
money of the taxpayers to an
individual when it should have
been expended for public educa-
ton or improvements or allowed
to remain in the pockets of the
taxpayers. Under the present
assessment, | believe an econom-
ical and judicious expenditure of

running expenses of the Office will
meet the ends of justice and save
hundreds of dollars to the taxpay-
ers. If elected, l promise the

Created No Surprise Here.

The news that the confirmation of
the appointment of Governor George
Curry will not be taken up by the
Senate committee on territories until
latter the holiday recess did not create
much of surprise here.
1t was pretty well known that few
of the false affidavit crowd and cuck.
oos had filed charges against Cover.
nor Curry and protests against his
confirmation which had been sent to
a senator who is not we'll acquainted
with New Mexico conditions for pres
entation to the Senate committee on
territories.
1t Is said that complete history OF
/ Governor Curry from the time he first
arrived in New Mexico until he left
for the Philippine Islands, was prepar-
ed and that his character was not
painted in too rosy color. Nothing
In any manner rejecting on Governor
Curry's official conduct or personal be.
havior during the many years he has
been a citizen Of New Mexico could
of course be adduced, but considerable
Itwaddle, hearsay and suppositions are
| interviewer with the statements made
Governor Curry had some notice OF
| the matter but neither he nor his
| friends feel in the least disturbed. 1t
was expected that the knocker gang
! in this city which for years has been
of great detriment would do some
thing of the kind and the expected has
happened
Among the good element Of the
community, among the business men
and in fact from everybody except hall
dozen of the men in this dirty cabal
none but the most favorable impress
ions and kindest regards are heard fol-
Governor Curry and no one even pre-
| tends to believe that the charges will
have the slightest consequence or viii
prevent the governors confirmation.

Governor Curry and Party Given a
Rousine Ovation There Yesterday
On Return Home.

Carlsbad, N. M. Dec. Ex-Governor
Curry and party arrived here yester-
day morning and spent the day visit
ing friends In Carlsbad and calling on
business men in the interests Of the
irrigation congress at Albuquerque.
No public meeting was held although
the people were anxious to hear the
governor speak. The business men
of Carlsbad have pledged their unani
nous and hearty support to the irrl
satien congress, as have all other
towns in the Pecos valley. That the
valley will fill up its 5000 feet Of
Ispace at the exposition is certain and
its cash contribution toward the ex
pense of the congress will undoubted
ly surpass the generous sum promised
at the big meeting in Roswell.
The trip through the Pecos valley
has been tremendous success In ev
cry way. The irrigation congress men
have secured everything they came
for. The governor has met hundreds
of his old friends and has placed TIE
statehood question squarely before the
people Of the valley, who are satisfied
with the situation and are ready and
willing to do everything they can tc
help at home or in Washington. Al
Artesia alone the Commercial club
proposes to pay the expenses of {
delegate to Washington should he be
necessary.
The governor and party left fol
