into two factions, wet and dry. That

used the Democratic party 10 cloak
their wet ticket because this is a Dem
ocratic town. They always use the
party in the majority. In Tucumcari
they are now Democrats; in Santa Fc.
where the Republicans have a major
ity, the saloons are Republicans. The
Democrats refused to be used hy the
vets, and refused TO stand for the wet
line up under the name of Democratic
Ticket, and the "Drys" elected their
mayor by one vote. The same dues-
ton has arisen in the County election
this fall. The "wets" lined up against
the "drys' in the primary and with
two or three exceptions, nominated
"wets". Are the Democrats going to
stand for this? Will you allow "A
