Above is the ticket declared
nominated by the Republicans at
the county convention held here
last Monday.
The convention was pretty
evenly divided between the Ro-
nero combination and the opposi-
tion, but the former won by high
handed management amounting
to counting out procedure, as
charged by the opposition.
This resulted in walk-out by
a number of the leading men of
the south and east part of the
county, including such men as
Cristino Chavez, Macario Torres,
Tomas Bachicha, and others,
Congressman Hernandez ar
rived during the thickest of the
melee, and it is said through his
intervention committee was
sent after the boilers after they
had started home, empowered to
treat with them and try to bring
them back. But they didn't
come back.
The trouble started upon the
organization of the convention,
when the Romero forces won out
by the election of Mr.. Speers,
who works for the Willard Mer-
Fcantile company at Encino, and
who proved to be some shakes as
a chairman and withal somewhat
of a czar in that position.
Immediately a hand picked
committee of ten was appointed
to report to the convention a list
of candidates. 1t was said that
seven of this committee were
aspirants for nominations by the
convention.
Afterwards the point was
made that this committee, hav-
ing been appointed before the
report of the committee on cre-
dentials, was therefore Irregular
) ly appointed and had no power
to act. Also it was claimed that
the committee was appointed
merely to report list of all those

If any Democratic or Inde-
pendent Republican voter is dis
posed to feel dissatisfied with the
ticket nominated by those par
ties, all he has to do to be fully
reconciled is to look at the Re-
publican ticket.

Having elsewhere made the
suggestion that Republicans
ought to vote the Democratic
ticket in county and state this
year, attention of the Republican
voters is called to the fact that
both state and county tickets
have upon them the names of a
number of Republicans. In each
case convention of lndepend-
ent Republicans who had revolt
ed from gang rule, nominated a
number of candidates who were
afterward endorsed ard nominat-
ed by the Democratic conven-
tions.

in every way for the office.

in every way for the office.
Mrs. Mathews is leading ed
ucator of the county. She has
devoted her life to teaching and
is admirably fitted to be superin-
tendent of schools. She speaks
both languages fuently-a very
desirable accomplishment in this
office. She would make an ideal
school superintendent. +.
Juan c. Sanchez is finishing a
service of five years in the office
of county commissioner, where
he has become familiar with
county business, and thus would
bring to the office of county
treasurer full knowledge of its
requirements. He is a man of
the strictest integrity. honorable
and upright in all his dealings
and in every relation of life. In
short, he is an absolutely depend
able man. The county. treasury
could not be placed in safer
hands.
Esau B. Lopez is an intelligent,
we'll educated man, popular in
his own community, where he
has served as justice of the
peace. He is as we'll fitted for
the office of probate judge as
man can be who has not had legal
training, and will make a good
officer. He speaks good English,
and of course speaks Spanish
we'll.
Harry Fincke everybody
knows, and everybody also
knows that if he is sent to the
legislature he will not take or
ders from some boss, but will
vote in the interests of the peo-
pie. He is editor of the Mortar
ty Messenger. He will make a
good legislator, and the voters
should see to it that he is elected.
Mr.. Ballard is not known to
the writer, but is vouched for as
a good man in every way, and
thoroughly competent as a sur
veyor.
Herman Lipe is farmer and
business man, familiar with busi-
ness methods, bright and alert,
has a mind of his own, and
would serve the people well in
the Office of county commissioner.
They will get an honest, con-
scientious, faithful public SER
want if they elect him.
Mr.. Kayser we do not know
personally, but he is vouched for
by dozens as man of unusual
attainments for a farmer, keen
and alert, of good, sound judg-
ment, upright and highly re-
spected by all who know him-a
good kind of man to have on the
board of commissioners.
Mr.. Sanchez is young man,
we'll educated, trained in county
business by service in Guadalupe
county as deputy assessor and
also by work in other county Of
fees. and would bring to the Of
flee of commissioner perfect fa-
miliarity with all phases of coun-
ty business.
1t would be hard to find a bet
ter bunch of candidates than
these.
The Democrats and Independ-
ents have done well, and deserve
to have their ticket elected
every man-and woman.

DOLlTICAL parties were born
L of necessity. Their founders
intended them for instruments of
good, and not for instruments of
oppression. Unscrupulous poll
ticians care nothing for the lofty
motives that actuated the found
ers of parties. If they gain con-
troll of a party they will use it for
their own ends, regardless alike of
the objects of the founders and
the interests of the people, de-
pending upon that class of voters
who vote for party name, regard
less of the kind of men in control
and the methods they use, to
maintain them in power. The
independent voter is the hope of
the country. He will not blindly
follow men who prostitute ven
Grated party name to their own
baseends. He recognizes plunder-
bunds, machines, gangs and un-
scrupulous bosses when he sees
them, and votes to smash them,
no matter under what party col
ors they act. Fortunately for the
country he is growing more num-
erous. Mr.. Republican Voter,
have not things been done lately
in the name of your party that
cause you to hang your head and
blush for shame? Be an indie
pendent voter and vote to rebuke
such methods. 1t will be thou
sand times better for your party
in the long run.

has shown utter disregard of the
principles of representative gov
ernment and a cynical contempt
for the interests of the taxpay-
ers.
This county salary law is close
to us, and every man knows of
it and can judge of it. That is
the only reason for going into it
more specifically than a number
of other things fully as bad,
Torrance county up to the pres
ent time has been in the third
class of counties and the salary
charges under this law for the
four principal offices aggregate
slightly above $12,0 900.
This is an average for each Of
flee of $1,000.
1t is a we'll known fact that for
each of these offices except that
of sheriff, one person can and
does perform the work with a
very little help.
The sum of $4,000 would be
ample to pay for all necessary
help in all of these offices, includ-
ing that of sheriff.
This would leave for each of
these officers who would do the
work himself and hire only the
help actually necessary, an av-
erage of between So and So per
day for each working day of the
year.
And be it remembered, six
hours is counted a day in these
offices ordinarily.
Mr.. Taxpayer, what do you
think of it?
Are you willing to vote to keep
in power the men who have
placed this burden on your back?
This is your work.
You are paying for it.
You delegated to other men
by electing them to the legisla-
ture, the job of fixing the rate
of wages for this work.
And they have done it.
How do you like the job?
If you delegated to foreman
the job of fixing pay for work
you must hire done and he should
attempt to hold you up at this
rate, what would you do to him?
But the worst is yet to come.
We are told that the valuation
returned for this year will place
US in the second class of coun-
ties, with a resultant increase of
salaries under this law of several
hundred dollars all around.
A majority of the taxpayers of
New Mexico are not rich.
They are not able to pay more
than fair wages for the work
they must hire done.
The so-called Republican party
is forcing them to pay more than
fair wages.
The men who draw these sala-
ries are not to be blamed for TAX
ing the pay. Men usually take
what they can get lawfully.
The men who made the law
are responsible.
Having made two such laws
as those mentioned, including
the unseating Of legally elected
members of the legislature. it is
unnecessary to point out that the
so-called Republican party could
have passed any law it pleasd.
Its record, both of commission
and omission is deliberate, with
malice aforethought.
Pernicious laws could have
been made benificent had it so
desired.
1t could have made a number
of needed laws, notably a mod
ern election and ballot law, and
law giving the taxpayers the
benefit of interest on the huge
sums of public money piled up in
the state, but chose not to do so.
These things are mentioned
only by way of illustration, and
are of likeness with things
done and undone, a mere cata-
logue of which would be too
lengthy for this paper.
AS fitting climax the So
called Republican party of New
Mexico, state, district and coun-
ty, has the supreme effrontery
to nominate for office a consider

TWO TIMES
New YORK. October I2. 19Ie.

Editor Star: We are at the begin
ming of the critical period of the cam
paign. Time is now the important
element. Only one month remains.
We must have action, and have it
quick. We can overcome anything
except delay.
Say to your readers that they must
not think the campaign viii be won
by the other fellow. It won't. It must
be won by them. Are they doing their
full part?
Is your precinct committee active
and getting results? Is it organized
and at work? Your success is not
measured by the amount alone which
you remit. If you make the canvass
of the people who should contribute,
the work win be apparent. All / ask
of your committee is that it really
tries. Make a list Of the folks who
want Wilson reelected, estimate what
you think each one of them should
give, an dthen go and try to get them
to come up to a proper standard.
They can't be patriotic for dol
lar, if they can afford more. Present
our case to them in this light. Get
them to give up to the point where it
really means something to them. One
young lady sent in ten dollars the
other day and said she had saved it
out of her salary as nurse. II you
can inspire your folks with the spirit
this girl had, money win be forthcom-
ing in abundance.
We are making card index record
of every penny that comes in. This
win be a part of the permanent re-
cords Of this Office. The lists will also
be sent to your state. Surely many,
many of your people want to be on
these permanent records, in substan-
tial amounts. In way, the relative
amount they give is evidence Of their
desire for party success.
Let me hear from you at once with
a detailed report of what your com
mittee has done and is doing.
Very sincerely yours,

So Busy Counting Profits They Have No Time
To Compare Shares
OPTIMISTIC ADDRESS OF PRESIDENT s0BD At THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE FARM
ERS CONGRESS At INDIANAPOLIS

indianapolis, Oct. 1.-THE Ameri-
can farmer never has seen SO gen.
eral or widespread period of agri-
cultural prosperity as that of the
present year, declared Fl. e. Stock
bridge, of Atlanta, president of the
National Farmers Congress, at the
opening of the Congress- annual meet
ing here today. Farmers throughout
the country as so busy counting the
profits, Mr.. Stockbridge declared,
Hthey haven't time to worry over
whether they are receiving fair
share of the consumers dollar
MIR. Stockbridge praised the admin
istration's handling of the Mexican
situation, but condemned the facilities
for mobilizing and equipping an army.
Re urged industrial preparedness, de-
claring the European war has shown
that success depended greatly on this.
Referring to the recent railway
strike situation, he called attention to
the associations eight hour day nom
arbitrable principle, saying while no
attempt has been made to apply it to
farms, "the farmers was the chief inn
mediate sufferer from a recent at
tempt to enforce this principle in an
other industry" He urged farmers to
ask Congress to enact a compulsory
arbitration law.

ENCOURAGING LETTER
FROM THE ENGINEERS
Twombly and Henney Think there
viii be No Permanent Trouble
With the Imhoff Tank

President Nash of the city council
this morning received the following
letter from Twombly & Henney:
New York, October IA, 1916.
Mr.. George A. Nash, President City
Council, 0cala, Fla.
Dear Mr.. Nash: We have just re-
ceived your letter of October 18th,
concerning the Imhoff tank at Ocala,
also copy of your letter to Bryan &
company and their reply to the same,
and copies of your two kilograms.
We wish to assure you that we viii
cooperate with you in every way and
get this tank in proper condition. You
can readily understand that any con-
crete tank, exposed to the weather as
this tank has been for so long time
without being filled with water, would
become more or less porous and that
these pores fill up by use. The ex-
cessive leakage in this tank indicates
that there is some trouble similar to
the trouble experienced at the reser-
voir at water works. By pumping the
tank out the trouble can be discovered
and remedied. Our Mr.. Elmer viii do
everything possible to assist you at
present, and our Mr.. Henney expects
to De in Ocala shortly and will stay
there until this trouble is remedied.
The construction Of this tank was first
class IN every respect, good material
and workmanship being used in its
construction, and we Rave no doubt
that the source of the leak can be dis
covered and permanently fixed. With
kind regards.
Very truly yours,
Twombley & Henney.

FOR FRANCE
And France Gave the Cross Of the
Legion to the Brave Young
American

Paris, Oct. 1.-THE cross of the Lee
gion of Honor was pinned on the
breast of Norman Prince, the young
American aviator, as he lay on his
death bed in the hospital at Gerard
mer, in the Vosges. Prince had taken
part in great aerial raid which had
been followed by stirring fight in
the air between the entente allies aer-
oplanes and German machines. He
suffered injuries to the head, which
apparently were the direct cause of
his death.
Though wounded the American
pilot kept his gun going, warding off
hostile craft which had ascended to
attack the French bombarding squad
ron. He remained long in the air,
coolly facing the fire of the German
machine guns. Finally, in attempting
to land, he struck an aerial cable, the
lmischance, it is thought, being due to
his injuries. He was picked up un-
conscious and died apparently without
suffering.
