Ponder's and Sullivan's
Friends Urging Them
For Barnum's Job.

The sole and only appointment which
comprises the ring" patronage as a
result of the recent county primaries is
causing considera BILE CONSERVATION in
ring" ranks. BY the election of two
district judges and the county judge,
the sum total of plums that the ring
can hand out in November happens TO
be one solitary place-that of county
auditor. which office is filled by ap-
pointmeut from the district judges
and the county judge together.
The ring" having elected Ballard
Coldweu and P R Price as district
judges and F. B. McClintOck as county
judge. viii have the appointment OF
tv auditor Roy Rarnum, is said to be
slated for the "skids" and numerous
former cfficehOlders Of the old ring
regime are bobbing up for the place,
which pays 5000 a month
Those who profess to know say that
Jose Antonio Escajeda, the present
district clerk. vii get the appointment
when he retires from the district
clerks office although IL is under
stood that friends Of Dave sullivan,
formerly city assessor. are insisting
that he be given the place and the
friends of J. d Ponder who made an
unsuccessful race for county treasurer
on the ring" ticket. are equally in
sistent that he get the appointment.
Those ring" men who hope to get
up strong opposition to the present
city administration in the city election
next spring are fearful OF the effect
that would follow the appointment OF
Escaj eda. They figure that while il
might be an asset TO go before the
Mexican voters in next spring and tel
them that the only available place At
the rings" disposal was given to one
of their race, il would, nevertheless,
not set well on the voters north Of the
tracks who scratched all Mexican
names on both tickets in the July pri-
maries-
The appointment of county auditor
will be made in December It is said
that the new county commissioner
all of whom are anti ring-are going
to insist that. whoever the new auditor
may be, he must actually audit the
county affairs. particularly the matter
of the collection of county and state
taxes.
