AN OPEN LETTER.

Hagerman, n. NJ, Jan. l. 1907.
To the Democratic Voters of Chaves
County:
Having BEEF solicited lby my friends
in all parts of the country to enter
the race for the Democratic nOmina-
ton for the Office OF Tax Assessor of
Chaves county and after careful
thought on the matter, l have decided
to do so and ask the support of all
! people in all parts of the county, for
the following reasons:
| First of all, l believe that / am
qualified to fill the office to the credit
of the county. my friends and myself.
Second have no favors to show
and none to expect from anyone if 1
am elected, and can therefore give
a just and equitable assessment of
all property in all parts of the coun-
ty, and if such is done I believe it
will lave quite an effect on the tax
rate of The. county.
Third I wish to earn what I am
paid as a servant of the people AID
as the new law reduces the former
fees or pay of the office one-haIf, to
go into effect on the expiration of the
present term of office it cures what
l was in favor of advocating provided
that it failed of passage at the last
session of the assembly, NJ as it
still leaves a very fair return for the
execution of the duties of the office,
l promise to give it an honest and
businesslike administration.
Fourth This end of the county
has never had an Office in the county
except commissioner, and that is a
district Office and belongs to it, and
it has voted 80 per cent Of the vote
of the county for several years and
pays about the same per cent of taxes
and it now demands that it share in
the distribution of the office pie"
and l believe that l have the solid
support of this end of the county and
the encouragement of the voters
in breaking the ice and coming to
our own.
So now I wish to say that all men
especially Democrats, that wish to
see an equal distribution of the of
of the county, e men in Office
that will give the office a business
like attention, mel that have no fav-
ors to ask OF receive, no obligations
to pay. Give me your vote and sup
port and make al feel as though they
had a voice in the affairs of the coun-
ty. Thanking all my friends that have
pledged their support to me, and 9th

From Hagerman Messenger:
c.. w. DAWSON was born in Calves
ton, Texas, January %, 1888, moved
with his parents to central Texa in
1890, where he worked on his fathers
cotton farm until 1901. The last three
years were a complete failure on ac-
count of the boil weevil, causing him
and his fathers family to come to
the Pecos Valley in 1901, and his his

is well known by all his friends) has

in the wonderful upbuilding of the
valley. having beer associated with
his father and brothers in the real
estate and immigration business for
the last four years and have located
and sold more cal estate than any
other firm in the valley.
Mr.. Davisson was stricken with
rheumatism over a year ago in the
big snow storm and has been forced
to forego an active pursuit of his bus
mess on that account, and has to
confne himself to the valley entirely,
as the rigid climate of the north ex-
cites his rheumatism to such an ex-
tent tina ne has to take to crutches,
hence his desire to secure the office

his issue, and should be read by ev-
eryone interested in good government

Did Taft's election have any bene-
fetal effects upon the country at
large? asks backwoods democratic
exchange. This question can be
answered in few words: Taft's elec-
ton has filled the employment
agencies with orders for section crews,
surfacing men, carpenters, miners, etc.
It has started a number of factories
that were shut down, it has doubled
the number of men employed in other
factories, and it has revived business
generally. So great is the confidence
placed by industrial concerns in con-
tinued prosperity that the whole
country has RESOLVED itself into
state of activity.

c. W.; Morse of New York, known
as "the ice king" banker, promoter
and fnancier, has been sentenced to-
serve fifteen years in the federal prison
at Atlanta, Georgia, for using depos-
itors' money in his speculations. In
sentencing the thief Judge Hough
said: GAS in all bank fraud cases
the criminal legality is only part of a
larger general scheme. In this case
this was to use the bank and the de-
positors' money for speculative pur-
poses. If such schemes were per-
mitted to be carried out the public
would be at the mercy of as1band of
adventurers:''> Judge Hough is en-
titled to much praise for netting out
to the rascany rrobber his just deserts.

1t seems that it is customary in Min
neapolis for the judges of election to
hang up a so-called "poor-box" in
the election booths for the benefit OF
said judges. Into these boxes the
candidates for Office are expected to
drop whatsoever sum they deem fit.
From the money so obtained it ap.
pears that the election judges defray
the expenses of Belshazzar" feasts
for themselves and friends. This is
certainly a nice state of affairs to pre-.
vail in a reform" city, but compared
with other gratis which existcit might,
perhaps, be dismissed as insignificant.

So outraged are the feelings of
Gompers at the result of the labor

should be asked to tender his resigna-
ton. His methods are altogether too

THE GoHERNoRsHIP.

BY decisive majority the voters OF
the state have rejected J. F. Jacobson
and declared in favor of John "A.
johnson for third term as governor.
From that decision there is no appeal
and all good citizens will gracefully
acquiesce in the verdict rendered at
the polls. We cannot help thinking,
however, that a great mistake was
made. No candidate ever received a
nomination at the hands of political
convention that was freer from barter
and intrigue, and no candidate ever
appealed to the voters of the state with
a cleaner or a better record than J. F.
Jacobson-it was not record of pre-
tentious claims and promises but of
deeds accomplished in behalf of the
people. We confess that we are
grievously disappointed, for we con-
idently expected that state so over
whelmingly republican would ratify
the unanimous action of thoroughly
representative republican state con-
vention, especially with such an ex-
cellent candidate. Mr.. jacobson was
misrepresented and vilifed and his
motives we're impugned, but he con-
Quoted a manly and dignified cam
paign, made gallant fight and went
down to defeat with his colors flying.
He would not stoop to conquer. The
governorship was no temptation to
him to stultify himself by renouncirg
his honest convictions and sacrificing
the principles for which he had always
contended. His true friends are as
proud of him in defeat as they would
have been had he been victorious. He
is still factor in Minnesota's politi-
cal affairs and will be heard from in
the future.

Governor Johnson's victory al the
recent election is mainly attributable
to his nationality and unlimited 6pan-

true of his victories in 1904 and 1905,
His charming personality, his ability
to talk we'll and say nothing, the
happy faculty he has of being all
things to all men, together with the
newspaper and magazine adulation
that has been lavished upon him
