A Sheriff That
Has Made Good.

Sheriff w. C. McGregor, who
was re-nominated last Saturday,
has proven to be one of the most
popular and capable officials the
county has ever possessed. The
friend of every one who respects
the laws and the terror of the GRIM
inals, Sheriff w. G. McGregor has
earned a reputation as an official
that has never been eclipsed and
seldom equalled i'll the state. Hon
est, fair and fearless. he is accorded
that rare distinction of being a
man, always a man and IA gentle
man. He is better known through
out the county than he was two
years ago and his vote on the Bird
of November will prove a striking
verifcation of all we have said.
Watch it.

The County Commissioners

Henry G. Mullins needs no in
PRODUCTION to the people of this
county. His service for the past
two years as commissioner has
been one Of honor to himself and a
source of great satisfaction to the
farmers and taxpayers. He is a
man of sterling worth and ability
and one to whom all honor and
esteem is due, while Luis Jara-
milo, the nominee for commits
sioner from the first district. is
one of the most capable and in
t1uential citizens of the county.
A man of marked executive ability
one who has been highly sue
cessful in conducting his own
affairs and who stands as bulwark
of strength and integrity among
all who know him, Luis Jaramillo
will make an ideal commissioner
and one who will prove most
valuable official.

No Chance to Beat Them.

When such men as Erastus S.
Christensen and Erastus A. Mel
son, the nominees for county clerk
and recorder and county superin-
tendent of schools respectively. are
placed before the voters of pneir
county there is not the semblance
of chance for the men pitted
against them. Both are able, clean
and justly popular. Mr.. Christen-
sen, as county treasurer, has dem
onstrated his worth as IA public Of
fetal and Mr.. Nelson, as county
superintendent, has placed the
schools of our county on par with
any in the state. They are the
type of men the people want and
insist upon having.

Harry Il. Russell,
The Best Ever.

The convention not only compIi-
mented itself but paid deserved
tribute to the sterling worth and
character of one of our foremost
citizens when it nominated for
treasurer Harry I'll. Russell. Known
to practically every man, woman
and child throughout the county
for his courteous manner, his high
sense of honor, his exceptional abil-
ity and his untiring industry, Mr..
Russell's popularity knows no
bounds. Everybody knows he will
make an ideal treasurer and they're
all going to vote for him a week
from next Tuesday.

Two More Good Ones.

Good as the ticket may be, the
names of f. w. Swanson and c.
b. Sampson for coroner and sur
veyor have added to its strength.
Both are well known throughout
the county and they will fill their
respective positions with credit to
all parties concerned. Space for
bids as extensive recital of their
merits as we would like to present
but suffice it to say that they will
always be found ready and capable
to fulfill every requirement of their
offices.

Etc, Etc, Etc.

We ask the citizens of this coun-
ty, regardless of their political be
lief or religious faith, if such
ticket would be desirable?
Is the progression of popular
government in this county to be
abruptly brought to a state where
the equitable administration of
public affairs is made dependent
upon the good will of the officials
OF secret societies?
We again ask, is such state of
affairs desirable?
If not, vote either your Republi-
can or Democratic ticket and for
ever eliminate the possibility of
government by officials of secret
order who have, by their Masonic
oath, obligated themselves to help,
protect and support in every con-
ceivable manner all those in their

Last SdtuTidy tHe ueleSdte COIL
vention of Conejos county Repub-
licans met at Conejos, a full repre-
sentation being present. All the
interest of the present campaign
was centered in this convention us
was evidenced not alone by the
personal presence of the delegates
and the absence Of proxies, but by
the attendance of IA large number
of enthusiastic citizens from all
over the county. 1t was u spon-
taneoTs out-pouring of representa-
tive men-the taxpayers who sup
port the great commonwealth of
Conejos county.
The convention was called to or
der by County Chairman j. A.
Garcia, and Harry II. Russell, the
secretary, read the call.
Upon motion Editor j. ID. Frazey

secretary.

instructed to appoint committees

to enable the committees to prepare
their reports.
Upon reconvening the commit
tees presented their reports, which
were unanimously adopted by the
convention. The committee on per-
manent organization recommended
that the temporary organization be
made permanent, and on motion it
was so ordered.
The convention was one of the
most harmonious ever held in
Conejos county. not a'contest being
presented from any precinct. A
determination to present an irwin
cible ticket to the people was man
ifest from the start, and action in
naming the candidates was unani-
nous, it being apparent that no
better men could be selected.
The following are the candidates
named by the convention:

Adams, of Alamosa.
