 known mining man, who is a
 candidate for the high office of
 sheriff of Santa Cruz County, on
 the Democratic ticket, was a
 visitor at the county seat a
 couple of days this week, being
 accompanied by Mrs. Fraser
 and the two little children.
 Thursday he left for the Eigin
 country taking with him a pair
 of wire cutters, and other neceS-
 sary implements usually carried 1 by experienced vote getterS.
 Tom and his opponent, w. c. Bow
 man, have a perfect understand ing. They have agreed that no | matter which way the political cat jumps, on the 8th day of September, Santa Cruz county's next sheriff will be a Democrat. t. ! Both are honorable, capable Democrats of the old school. Democrats in defeat, as we'll as Democrats in victory. THE BORDER VIDETTE will take pleasure in supporting all Demo crats of their brand.

Mrs. Mcfarland, who is chairman of the Woman's Club of Patagonia, is very clever lady She has been employed to teach the Patagonia schools, next term. If nominated at the coming primaries, her election to the office for which she is an aspirant, is already conceded by all Mrs Mcfarland says she is managing her own campaign, and is taking no part in the con test between opposing candi- dates for political honors. She also says that in the event that she is defeated at the September primaries, she will do all in her power to assist in electing the Democratic candidate for super intendent of schools.
