The latter reported the candi-
dates nominated by them to the
Democratic convention, and they
were taken up one by one and
nominated by the Democrats.
They nominated clerk, probate
judge, representative, superin-
tendent, surveyor and commits

The Democrats passed the fol-
lowing resolutions:
We, your committee beg leave
to report as follows:
We endorse President Wilson'S
administration from the day of
his administration to the present
time. He has been faithful to
every charge imposed upon him,
aud true to the people of the
United States as a whole regard
less of party. And we also de-
clare him not only the greatest
man in the United States but the
greatest man in the world. And
we feel confident that on the 7th
day of November, he will receive
not only the full endorsement of
the Democrat party but thou
sands of the better element of
the Republican party. That he
has steered the Ship of State
through the turbulent waters of
discomfort, malice and falsehood
of the leaders of the opposing
party.
We endorse fully the governor
Of New Mexico in his efforts to
serve the people in general. And
we endorse his administration
and the efforts of his co-laborers
in the discharge of their official
duties. And we urge upon all
democrats and all people who
have the good of the country at
heart, and all citizens regardless
of party who believe in a just
and equitable administration of
public affairs to join US in the
election of the democratic state
ticket, ticket which needs no
apology, whose nominees are
without blemish.
Our nominee for the United
States Senate, A. A. Jones, we
unqualifiedly endorse as being a
man of first class ability and a
man whose character is without
spot or blemish; who is neither
controlled nor dictated to by any
ring or faction.
We heartily pledge our full
support to the nominees of this
convention, who stand for
economy in county affairs, and
honesty in the carrying out of
party pledges and the business
of the people.
Very little fault can be found
with the ticket.
Dee Robinson has been deputy
sheriff for the past nearly five
years, and no word of complaint
has ever been made of the man.
ner in which he has handled the
business. He is a good citizen.
an absolutely clean man in every
respect, and we know by what
he has done that he will make an
excellent officer if elected.
Dixie Howell has filled the Of
| flee of assessor in years past, and
every person in Torrance county
is his personal friend. He has
been deputy part of the time dur
ing the current term, and of
course is thoroughly familiar
with the duties of the office,
which it is unnecessary to say he
will discharge with ability and
iscrupulous fidelity if elected.
Ed Gallegos is a fine young
man, of irreproachable habits,
uses neither liquor nor tobacco,
lis genial and quiet in his man.
