The "unterlified' of Santa Fe coun-
ty have named a full county ticket. to
be voted ugon at the coming election.
The disciples of Jefferson and Bryan
after much persuasion managed to
scrape IN the semblance of county
ticket which was formally launched
last night.
The Democrats met several weeks
ago in this city, at the call of the
county central committee. bent upon
naming a ticket. but at that time the
party leaders and delegates were un-
able to get together. There was a
feeling that the Democrats should
wait and see what the Republicans in
tended to do about naming county
ticket and hence an adjournment was
taken for the time being.
When it became apparent that the
Republicans with probably one or two
exceptions would re-nominate the
present county officials, the unterri-
fed decided that it was time for them
to get into the game. That they have
gotten into the game with both feet,
figuratively speaking, is attested by
yesterdays convention.
Leaders Select Slate.
The convention met yesterday af-
ternoon at the court house at 2:3O
o'clock and after effecting temporary
organization and naming committees
on permanent organization, resolutions
and credentials adjourned until last
light at 7:3O o'clock During the re-
cess intervening, the party bosses
held several caucrses and framed a
slate of candidates. When the con-
vention met there was nothing for 1t
to do but to ratify this slate. which
the delegates did without dissenting
vote.
The convention was fairly we'll at
tended. most of the precincts being
represented. While the court room
was filled this was due in great
measure to the presence of many in
terested Republicans. curious to wit
ness the proceedings.
Band Played Dixie.
The Elks hand had been engaged
for the occasion to add a little life
to the gathering and after 1t had
played "Dixie," Chairman Of the Dem
ocratic County Central Committee
Charles F. Easley, called the con-
vention to order at promptly 8 o'clock.
The first business in order was the
report of the committee on perman-
ent organization. 1t reported the 1ol'
lowing officers:
Chairman Charles P. Ferguson,
rot Stanley.
Vice Presidents Juan Jose Silva. OF
Galisteo. and Matias Dominguez. OF
Santa Fe.
Secretary-Alfredo Delgado. Of San,
ia Fe.
The report OF the committee was
adopted and committee appointed by
the chair, escorted the officers to their
seats.
"Sizziinr' Resolutions.
When the report of the committee
on resolutions was called for. Judge
N. B. Laughlin. veteran Of the "un.
terrified" and New Mexico lieutenant
OF the Peerless Bryan. advanced to the
rostrum, struck naughty Napoleonic
pose and opened fire. The resolutions,
like ali Democratic resolutions. con

sisted or a t1raQe against hepuDllcaH
party principles, leaders and officials.
They opened up with an endorsement
of the national Democratic party. its
standard bearer and its platform;
pledged allegiance to Candidate o. A.
Larrazolo and the legislative candi-
dates on the party ticket, declared in
favor Of the primary system and end
ed with a few Choice" remarks about
certain county officials. With refer
ence to Larrazolo, the resolutions said
that if elected. he would try and get
statehood. The Republicans no doubt
will not deny that Larrazolo would
try" That is about as far as he would
get. They claim and have every rea.
son to believe that Delegate Andrews
will not only try, but will get state
hood for New Mexico. Despite their
apparent fieriness, the resolutions. to
the disappointment of the chairman of
the committee, did not inflame the del
egates, as he had expected they would.
They were greeted with half-hearted
applause here and there, but general
ly speaking were taken in matter-of-
fact way.
Ratify LarrazoIo's Nomination.
Hoping to inject at least a little
ginger in the convention, Charles F.
Easley, after the report on resolutions
had been adopted, took the floor and
made a motion that the convention rat
ify the nomination of that noble man
of all men. Octaviano A. Larrazolo. as
Democratic candidate for delegate to
Congress- In making his motion. Mr..
Easley praised Larrazo,o to the skies
and predicted his election by an over
whelming majority on November Bird.
The convention took kindly to the mo-
tion and was willing to ratifv the no.
mination. In fact the delegates acced.
ed to every suggestion Of the
bosses, as kindergarten pupils would
nina Lnolr LedCnor.
But One Candidate For Each Office.
When nominations were called for.
it was suggested that the selection
of Joint candidates for the council
and the House of the Thirty-eighth
legislative assembly be left to the CEN
trail committees of the counties of
Santa Fe and Sandoval. The sugges-
tion was satisfactory and the selection
of these candidates Will be made in
this manner.
For the county of Santa Fe. the can
didate for the House will be Wilbur
Castle, resident of Stenley, who is
editor of the Stanley Index. a weekly
paper.
A full county ticket was nominated,
all the candidates but one graciously
accepting. The one exception was
Frank Owen, who was nominated for
sheriff. In burst Of oratory. Mr..
Owen said he was compelled to de-
cline the honor because OF pressing
business, but pledged his support to
the ticket because Of his undying love
for Democracy, particularly the Tex
as brand, where he said. he never saw
Republican in his life until after he
was fifteen years old. He did not say,
however, that he did not know one
when he saw him nowadays. Despite
his protest. Mr.. Owens name went on
the ticket. However, if he refuses to
make the race the central committee
will supply candidate, who rumor
says, will be Marcelino Garcia, who
was named for superintendent of coun-
ty schools.
The convention then nominated the
ticket which appears at the head OF
this article.

DINNER"

this outbreak, and toward afternoon
the mock turkey made it's appearance.
1t resembied a gigantic candy favor in
shape and color. The tinting of the
outside had been rudely done and by
no means suggested the cracking skin
Of the barnyard king bursting from the
pressure of the rich juices within. Sad
ly Mrs. Framely shook her head as she
showed the bird into the icebox along
with the rest Of the packages which
the wagon had brought and busted her
self with converting some meatless
"mince meat" into pies.
Christmas day dawned somberly
enough in the Framely household.
Frank junior had thrown HIS carrot
outlet to the floor and had been sent
from the table in disgrace, and Nellie
had invited a second outburst by tear
fully pleading permission to go to her
grandmother's, where they would have
a "reaT" Christmas dinner. Grand
mother was on the maternal side, and
Mrs. Colford's Intolerance of her SOD
in-law's fads was an ever ready sub
tect for acrimonious discussion.
To cap the climax, the elder Mrs.
Framely arrived unannounced during
the forenoon.
II was lonesome" she explained as
she followed her daughter-in-law into
the parlor, $50 I just packed up some
mince pies and some jellies I'd made
and brought them along. l guess

Frank will like one Of his mothers
pies for Christmas, though l will adj
NIT that you do beat me on your crusts,
my dear. Now give me an apron and
I'll help you with the turkey" f
Mrs. Framely the younger shrank
from an explanation and, with the
statement that things only needed to
be warmed up, thrust the matter aside.
When her husband came in from
church with the children she slipped
oft to put things on the table. When
the family csne into the dining room
she supposed, Of course, that her hus-
band had explained and so made no
comment when the old lady set aside
her thick vegetable soup with the COM
ment that she never did like those new
tangled soups.
But when the turkey was brought in
and set upon the table the old lady
frightened up.
Il don't see how you get your turkey
such an even brown all over" she said
approvingly. Mine always burns on
the top. You know 1 like the second
joint and some of the white meat,
Frank"
For an instant Framely went a sick
ly white.
"Thare is no white or dark meat" he
said family. This is a mock turkey,
q mixture Of nuts and vegetables, you
know. We have awakened to the error
OF our ways and eat no more carbon"
Don't eat carbon" repeated his
mother as she sliced a bit from the
strange mixture. "You eat this sort of
stuff instead?"
The pure product Of Mother Nature,
Of the green fields and the healthful
sunshine" said her son solemnly.
"The last time 1 was here you were
chewing your food like q COW chews its
cud," remarked the old lady severely.
THAT was bad enough, but when you
make a mock of Christmas with your
mock turkey it makes me wish you
were young enough to be taken across
my knee again. Go get your hat. We're
going to a restaurant for a real Christ
mas dinner"
"But, mother began Framely, seek
ing to suppress with a glance the cheer
ing of the children.
"Do you remember when you were a
little boy about the age of little frankie
here?" demanded his mother. Framely
nodded. "And do you remember how
good a drumstick used to taste, with
some giblet gravy and lots of stufing
and cranberry saucer"
Eyes, mother" he assented Imply.
Then go get your hat. It's Frankie's
birthright," she declared.
Eyes, mother" came for a second
time, but now there was gladness in
the voice, a hungry look in the eyes,
and his wife knew that another fad
had passed.

Christmas Pies,

In England, Yorkshire Is still the
stronghold Of vast Christmas pies that
trace their lineage far beyond the Nor
man conquest into the dim feasts of
Saxon kings and Danish freebooters.
A rather quaint note, written in 1888,
makes mention of theg'wains" Tor wag-
ons) groaning about Christmas time
under a load of these pies and adds,
cat such times the hostess Of a well
~frequented inn Of the old school will
construct a pie of the circumference
rivaling her own, and the county news
paper will record its dimensions"
One such ''hostess of the old school,
is inmortalized by a famous though
slightly profane epitaph in a Yorkshire
churchyard running as follows:
Here lies the body. of Mary Ann Shoven.
She was versed in the arts
OF cakes, pies and tarts
And the mystical rites of the oven.
When she'd lived long enough
She made her last puff
A puff by her husband much praised.
Now here she doth lie
And make a mud pie
In the hope that her crust may be
raised.

Their
as
TURKEY.
By BENT.

nATIENTLY enough the family
- had endured Frank Framely's
fads until he became a vege-
tartan. An overindulgence in
turkey at the Thanksgiving feast had
been followed by fasting, repentance
and the adoption Of the vegetarian
cult. Steaks gave place to salads and
lamb to lentils, wherefore the spare
pennies Of the Framely youngsters
were invested in ham sandwiches and
smoked beef instead of cake and
candy.
1t had been bad enough when Frame
ly had adopted the thorough mastica-
ton fad and the entire family had SOL
EMMY chewed it's food to the loud
click of the metronome. 1t had been
worse when all hands slept in a tent in
the back yard because Framely had u
cold and feared consumption, but even
with an approved vegetarian kitchen
within half a mile it was difficult to
give variety to the menu with only
vegetables as a foundation.
The younger Framelys refused to re-
gard nut ragouts as fit substitutes for
their mothers savory stews, and the
hospitable soul Of Mrs. Framely vas
tried by the evasive excuses of those
who were invited to dinner. The poor
little woman considered it necessary to
explain that they were o vegeta-
rians, and so anticipatory smiles faded
from %expectant faces as the owners
thereof mentioned transparent previ-
GUS engagements suddenly recalled.
Finally she pleaded with her hus-
band for a turkey for Christmas, to his
great horror.
"Just for one day?" he repeated aft
err her. my dear, would you plead
with me to feed my innocent children
on a diet of poisons for Just n day.
No. 1 have ordered a beautiful mock
turkey from the vegetarian kitchen.
They assure me that it tastes exactly
like the bird, and it is nodded into the
same shape. The children will not
know the difference if they shut their
eyes,"
But they can't eat their dinner with
their eyes shut" protested Mrs. Frame
ly feebly. Her husband regarded her
with mild sorrow.
eff only they might eat with their
eyes truly OPEN" he lamented, "open
to the danger that turks within the
dead flesh they would stuff their stom-
achs with. Some day they will thank
me for saving them from the evils and
miseries Of the flesh eaters"
Framely adroitly made his escape be-
fore his wife could find an answer to

pretty things that please children al
ways and especially SO at Christmas.
Presently from a darker, poorer
street a tiny slip of a girl came timid-
~ around the corner, and, glancing
about a~nxiously to see that no one
was in sight, she stole up to the win
dow of the little shop and began
feasting her hungry eyes upon its
beautiful treasures. She was very,
very thin and pale, and her clothes
were but shreds and patches, yet her
eyes sparkled, and there was the joy
at the good things.
For a minute or more she stood with
her wan little face pressed close
against the glass, and then she drop
ped to her knees before this shrine of
Santa Claus and clasped her hands to-
at prayer. Her upturned eyes were
closed, and the light fell upon her
fan, very softly.
In the shadow of the houses across
the street a big policeman stood watch
ing. Now he came stealthily owe to-
ward the shrine, with the child on
her knees before 1t. AS he reached
the curb he heard her voice, trem-
bling and uncertain:
Now l lay me down to sleep 1
pray the Lord my soul to keep. If I
should die before 1 wake, 1 pray the
Lord my soul to take. And, oh, Sanity
Claus, I do want a dolly and some
candy for Christmas! Amen!"
She had said the only prayer she
knew, and rs she rose to her feet
again the policeman touched her on
the shoulder. She started suddenly
and would have run away, for these
street waits fear the big policemen,
but he held her.
"Come with me-" he said, and she
began to cry.
He took her into the little shop, and
when she came out again she held a
yellow haired doll iercely to her thin
little breast with one hand and in the
other she carried two bags of candy.
AS she looked up to the big police
man he saw in her face what he had
seen as she knelt before the shrine Of
Santa Claus, and he bent down and
kissed her good night. William ].
