Beans sold last year at about four

There was an excellent crop of
beans harvested last fall but the
demand for seeding purposes was not

they are running short:

STRENGTH OF DEMOCRATS IS
SHOWN BY PRIMARIES


is primaries in Chaves and Eddy
counties resulted in q showing of
greatly increased Democratic
strength, and served to emphasize
the opportunity that this year con-
fronts the Democracy of New Mexico
In .ChaVes county more than 29OO
Democratic votes were cast. or ap-
proximately 1000 more than ,hc high
est number cast in the first state
election and in Eddy county the total
was close to 2l00, or more than 600 in
excess of the heaviest vote in 1911.
AT the presidential election in 1912,
and the congressional election in 1914
the vote in boh counties was less
than that cast for the first state
ticket 1t is matter of record that
many new voters have settled in 9TH
or sections of the state during the
last few years, and that increased
Democratic strength likewise exists
in several other counties, among
them Quay. Roosevelt. Curry. Union.

mayor of Ration, who So decisively
shipped the Republican gang of
COlfaX county in the recent munich
pal election there. estimated the ad-
ditional Democratic votes in COltaN
at from 500 to 100, and declared that
they would enable that county to
register heavily on the Democratic
side at the November election. He
said: The Democracy of ColfaX
county will be united this year, and
it will make its influence felt in the
November results
TO take advantage of the oppor-
tunity presented by the increased
voting strength this year, effective
work on he part of Democratic coun-
ty and precinct organizations, and
individual cooperation on the part
of the voters, will be nesesSary. Oh
viOusly the additional Democratic
votes will be Valueless to the party
unless they are deposited at the polls
in November In Democratic coun-
ties, where primary nominations are
equivalent to election, and where
local interest ends when these nOmi-
nations are made, every voter must
realize that Democratic principles
and policies, national and state, will
be at stake in November: that the
future of New Mexico and its peo-
pie depends upon Democratic con-
troll of state affairs, and that both
party loyalty and personal welfare
demand that any effort necessary he
made to aid in a Democratic victory.
In every county of the state aggres-
sive, determined and united action
by the Democratic voters is called
for, to the end that hte Republican
machine shall not gain power, and
that the Republican history of un-
prOgressiveness and unscrupulOus-
ness, of incOmpetency and gross mis-
management in public affairs, and of
ilagrant violations of the rights of
the people, shall not be repeated in
New Mexico.
