Primary Election Next Tuesday.

Next Tuesday is the date for the
primary election, and all good citi-
zens are expected to go to the polls
on that day and show their interest
in the affairs of state and see to il
that good men are nominated for
the various offices. Two years ago
the people of Otero county did not
show much interest in the primary
election. Not as many votes were
cast at the primary election In the
whole county as were cast in the
seven precincts OF La Junta at the
preceding presidential election.
The total vote at the primary cleo
ton two years ago was 1921, while
the total vote for president four
years ago in the county was 4479.
The democrats east twice as many
votes at the primary election two
years ago as the republicans-the
total vote for democratic candidates
Tor governor being 1880, and only
65S for the republican candidates
Tor governor The vote for Carlson
In the primary two years ago in this
county was 361; for Nicholson. 1913.
and for Goudy 1OI. Carlson had a
majority over both the other candi-
dates of siXty-four.
The primary election this year Is
very important one for the tenn
perance people of Otero county, and
they should see to II that the cham
pton of their cause. George A. Carl
son. is nominated. He has made
good as governor. and deserves re-
nomination, but only by going to
the polls on next Tuesday and regis
tering your choice for governor can
he be renominated. His re-nomina-
tion means that the next governor
OF Colorado will be a republican. but
II is very doubtful whether such
condition will prevail under any 9th
