the national convention and delegate
to congress-. AS there are no other
places in this territory OF any con-
sequence it will be in order to create
something to satiate the capacious
and all-consuming desire of Roswell
for big offices. Then Roswell is fav-
ored with the territorial convention
and has landed the Panhandle stock
mems convention for next year. Now
if Roswell doesn't want the represen
tatives of both the 18th and 18th dis
tricts and member of the council it
will be because Lincoln, Roosevelt
and Eddy counties are strong enough
to outvote Chaves in the conventions
and have sense enough to
pull together for once. The Current

probably with the idea of converting
the Democrats OF the Pecos Valley
into Republicans. Then, too, the ter

not ask for the delegate to congress.
The cattle convention has nothing to
do with politics. AS for the council
manic and representative conventions
the Democrats Of Roswell had gen.
orally conceded those to Portales be-
fore the Current spoke. No doubt the
Current got the idea from Roswell.
