In the primaries held Satur-
day to elect delegates to the
county convention, the present
organization named the dele
gates in both Clovis precincts
and in a majority Of the outside
precincts. The issue in Clovis
was principally based on the
salary and tax questions, the
the present organization being
in favor of reasonable and not
high salaries. They won in a
walk. In precinct, nine which
compris es half the city of Clovis
and outlying districts. the vote
of forty four delegates was
unanimous and only took about
fifteen minutes to select the
fourteen delegates which would
be favorable to the proceed
ings as were later had at the
county convention. In precinct
one the result was the same.
All the nineteen delegates on
the ticket supported by the new
organization crowd were elect
ed. Thirty eight attended the
primaries in precinct one and

the losing ticket, Mr. Mabry is
said to have received the low

some of those who had employed
methods in Curry county which
the majority of the democrats

was up and the roller rolled.
The engine was oiled and it
worked splendidly, the track
was smooth and there was no
slip. In other words the Anti
Mabry Commissioners faction
(better known as the democrat
ic party of Curry county, seated
all THEN delegates, elected their
temporary chairman and secre-
tary, elected their permanent
chairman and secretary, nomi-
mated the committees, passed
their set of resolutions, selected
six out of seven delegates, elect
ed their two state committeeman,
named their chairman of the
county central committee, and
well if there is anything else,
they got that too. Every move
or motion made by the opposi-
ton was promptly ruled out of
order or voted down almost
unanimously.
