If voter desires be classed as Independent
that is his personal privilege. Acting as an indie
pendent he should refrain from participation in the
primary of any political party, holding himself in
position to choose independently among the several
candidates offered by the several parties general
election day Primary day is intended by law to be
partisan day. If you do not care to align your
self with any political party opportunity for par
ticipation in the selection OF state, county and
tional officers is accorded to in the November
election.
Naturally, Democrats will find themselves d.
yided as to personal choice for nominations. but
there is no occasion among REAL DEMOCRATS to
fail to abide by the decision Of majority of their
party Any other course will sooner or later mean
the disruption of the Democratic party in this state
ano the abolition of the primary law will become
necessary for its regeneration.
Any effort the part of office seekers or poll
icians to build up class hatred within the
democratic party should frowned upon by the rank
and file of that party. There is place in the
democratic party for class platforms, without de-
walton from the one\ great principle of the party

pear the announcements of Jim Co.'S
per, G. H. Hooker, j. A McWilliams,
and P. M. George for the Offices of
sheriff, justice of the peace and coun-
ty school superintendent, respectively .
In breaking the ice and thus an
nouncing early these men are entering
the campaign with determination to
put forth their best efforts and leave
no stone unturned in the furtherance
of their candidacy.
In putting his name before the vot-
ers of Greenlee county as a candidate
for the office of sheriff Jim Cosper

from the fact that he has been a resi-
dent of the county for many years and
is conversant with the needs of the

eral election and that should he be

out fear or favor and that Partially

ton of the office.
For Justice of the Peace of Clifton
precinct the names of Claud H. Hook
er and j. A. McWilliams are present
ed to the voters for consideration
Mr.. Hooker has been a resident of
Clifton for a long time and was for
many years chairman of the Demo
cratic precinct committee. Mr.. Hook
er feels that his qualifications for the
office to which he aspires should be
taken into consideration and he is con-
fident that the voters will look into
these qualifications and weigh them
carefully before casting their vote at
the primary election
P. M. George in announcing for the
office of County School Superintend-
ent is well known in Clifton where he
needs no Introduction and in making
a campaign throughout the county will
no doubt be sven signal recognition
Mr.. George has been supervisor of the
commercial department of the Clifton
public schools for the past four years
and is also q taxpayer of the county
where he has realty interests. He is
a Texas democrat of the old school
and has always worked for the ad-
vancement of the party in every way
Mr.. George is a graduate of three bust
ness colleges and during his connec-
ton with the local schools feels that
he has given unqualified satisfaction
and that he is peculiarly fitted for the
office of County School Superintendent
J. A. McWilliams, whose announce
ment will be found among thoseswho
are candidates for county offices, in
asking the suffrage of the voters for
the office of Justice of the Peace of
Precinct No. l needs no Introduction
