HERE ARE THE WINNERS
They All Have Records That Will
Commend Them to SocOrro
County Voters.
MAJORITIES WILL BE LARGE
Because There Is Not a Weak Man
on the List From Top to
Bottom.

Bottom.
The republican candidates for
the county Offices all have good
records and they deserve To be
and will be elected by handsome
.majorities.
FOR COUNCILMAN.
Hon. Estevan Baca has resided
in Socorro county Tor many
years, is well known, has always
been a good citizen, has served
his party long and we'll, and de-
serves the united and hearty sup
port of his fellow republicans
for the legislative council.
FOR REPRESENTATIVES,.
Hon. Powell Stackhouse, Jr.,
was the enthusiastic choice of
the convention for representa-
tive from Socorro county, as he
we'll deserved to be. The con-
vention honored itself by nomin-
ating Mr.. Stackhouse. He has
large interests in the Carthage
coal fields, where he has done
much to develop the resources of
the county. He is a man of
wide business experience and of
general intelligence and will rep
resent Socorro county in a man
ner that she will be proud Of
Julian Chavez came to the So
corro county convention with the
hearty endorsement OF his home
county, Sierra, for representative
and he will not fail to receive
the support here that a good
man and citizen always merits
at the polls.
FOR SHERIFF.
Geronimo Sanchez of San Mar
cial is one of the best men in So
zorro county for sheriff. The dele
gates from his part of the county
were solidlY for him against
all comers and their efforts to
nominate him met with the kind
of success that must have been
very gratifying to them. There
is every indication that Mr.. Sam
chez will be Socorro county'S rep
resentative by a handsome ma
jority.
FOR PROBATE JUDGE.
The name of Eduardo Jara-
milo is synonym for honesty
and good citizenship. Mr.. Jara-
milo and his clean record, both
as a private citizen and a public
official, are too we'll known to-
the voters of Socorro county to
need further comment.
FOR COLLECTOR AND TREASURER.
Jose T.. Torres has lived in So
corro county practically all his
life, has long business career,
has held several positions of pub
lie trust, and his record in all re-
spects is absolutely above criti-
cism. His business and official
integrity never has been and
never can be questioned. That
is exactly the kind of a man who
is needed for county collector
and treasurer and Mr.. Torres
will not fail to be reelected by
one of the biggest of the big re-
publican majorities.
FOR PROBATE CLERK.
f. ii. Sweet has already served
the people of Socorro county one
term as probate clerk and the least
that can be said for his official
record is that it has been such
that he was nominated to sue
ceed himself almost without OPP
position. Mr.. Sweet has been
one of the county's most efficient
and popular officials during the
last two years and his record for
this term will be repeated during
the next two years.
FOR ASSESSOR.
The record of A. b. Baca as
assessor during the present term
has been such that his nomina-
tion to succeed himself was a
foregone conclusion. The office
of assessor is one of the most
difficult of the county offices to
fill to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned, and it is saying much for
Mr.. Baca to say that he has sue
ceeded admirably. The conven-
tiou made wise choice in nomi-
mating A.. b. Baca for assessor
and the county will not fail to act
wisely in electing him.
FOR SCHOOL sUPERINTENDENT.
