CITIZENS GIVING
LITERALLY TO Y. N.
c. A. BUILDING

The Y. NJ. c. A. spirit has taken
hold on the citizens Of Tucumcari as
no other proposition ever did. IL now
seems that every man in town Is more
than willing TO donate his share 20
this worthy cause. Some men who
have but little property, are signing
up for 500 each. This money will not
all have to be paid at once, and it
means that the railroad company will
give 5000 for every 500 given by a
private individual.
An enthusiastic meeting was held
at the tabernacle last night and the
interest shown was remarkable. The
citizens are anxious for Y. M. &. A.,
and will give literally. Every prop
erty owner should donate something.
Committees were appointed to can
/ vass the town and they commenced
work Thursday morning. The report
from the solicitors sounds good when
they say nearly every man asked said
put me down and Tucumcar' portion
of the $4,000 will be ready to turn
over TO the Y. M. c. A. general COM
mittee before two weeks. Then plans
will be sent to the railroad committee
and before six months Tucumcari will
have building it may we'll feel proud
Of. There is nothing better than q
modern Y. M. {. A. II il self-sup-
porting after it is once opeaed to the
public. The public reading rooms are
a popular place for the young men
and visitors to our town. The gym.
makes the boys like the place ard the
bath privileges make IL possible for
members to keep perfectly sanitary.
No town ever had Y. NJ. c. A.
but what was proud of the fact A
thing worth doing at all is worth do
ing right, There is no use to build
"a $4,000 building when il Is Just about
as easy to build one for $4,000.
The singing evangelist, Mr.. Swig-
erty, has launched booste song for
the good of the cause and will assist
the local committees in rous.ng all the
interest possible.
Luncheon was served today to the
committees by the Method st ladies';
tomorrow the Baptist ladies will serve
lunch and Saturday the Presbyterian
ladies will cheer up the workers by
serving the lunch. The following cap
tains were chosen and the public can
see that Tucumcari means business:
Engineers-Wm. Watkins.
Firemen-S. A. Ramsdale.
Trainmen-J. II. Hackett.
Conductors-W. c. Amelon.
Office Men-W. S. Walters.
Shop Men-Al Codington.
Business Men-S. NJ. Wharton.
Citizens Team-A. D. Goldenberg.
Many others are working faithfully
on the proposition and unless the un-
expected happens there will be re-
joicing over the success of the solicit
ing committee before the end of two
weeks.

and few candidates were sure of their
nomination until after midnight when
most everything of importance had ar
rived and been totaled.
The race for sheriff was perhaps the
hardest fought Of any, and there were
22I0 votes cast for the three candi-
dates, nearly 100 more than either of
the other Offices.
The race for senator was another
spirited race and il was anybody's
until the last box arrived Wednesday
night, when IL was aacertainod that
Albert Calisch of Montoya, had won
over j. II. Wclch of Forrest by tho
small plurality of 30 votes. Both OF
these men were well liked in their
home community. In Montoya where
Mr.. Calisch lives the vote stood 11G to
3 in his favor. In Forrest where Mr..
Welch lives he secured 1873 votes to
Mr.. Calisch's 3. In Tucumcari Mr..
Calisch carried the town by vote OF
376 to 237, or lead Of 139 votes.
Thos. N. Lawson led the ticket by
securing 1901 votes against two good
men. This was n surprise to the poll
iticians because Mr.. Lawson did most
of his campaigning alone and cover
ed nearly ever nook and corner. H.
is one of the finest young men in our
county and this is another thing that
gave him many supporters.
J. c. Williams won the nomination
for probate judge by good majority
and from hcarsay it is understood that
the republicans will not try to defeat
him for this Office.
The three commissioners chosen in
this election were all cattle men, but
have made success with their own
business and should made splendid
commissioners.
One thing noticeable was that the
plains country was divided against
itself. The west voted against the
east and the east against the west.
Only one man succeeded in winning

CONVICT IS
CAPTURED FRIDAY OF
LAST WEEK At QUAY

An escaped convict from the State
penitentiary was arrested by Quay
county officials and brought to Tucum-
carl and placed in Jail, Bert Shipman
was the man and he was serving n
short sentence for forgery, being sent
up from San Miguel county.
He was located near Quay, working
with road gang. He had been u
trusty since being placed in the pen,
and was considered one Of the best
birds of the gang, but one day he came
up missing and not until he was sus-
plcioned and captured did the state
authorities know of his whereabouts.
Shipman will he taken back to San
tn Fe and put in confinement. The
liberties he formerly enjoyed will be
cut off from him and he will be just
a common Jail bird.

AN ASSEMBLING CAMP

Tucumcari will make n bid to be-
come one Of the assembling camps, q
place where the troops from the east
and north will be concentrated for
training for the National Guard be-
ing sent to the border. This town is
in a direct line from the east TO FL
Paso and IL the weather gets much
hotter in Mexico than il has here the
past few days ii must be hot down
there. Tucumcari is near enough to
the border to admit of troops being
moved there quickly but is sufficiently
removed to make possible the assembl-
ing and training of green soldiers with
out danger Of attack, and this makes
Tucumcari an ideal place for getting
the eastern and northern guardsmen
ready for service in Mexico.
This matter should be pushed by the
merchants and professional men as
we'll as the chamber of commerce be-
cause it would mean much to our city
to have Tucumcari chosen as a train
ing or concentration camp.

224O VOTES CAST AT
DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY

The Democrats held their primary
Saturday and polled the largest vote
ever polled in Quay county, even with
the republicans were voting. A large
vote Saturday was that for assessor
when the three candidate received
1882 votes; candidates for commits
ccived 2l75; candidates for commits
sioners from the several districts were
LIST, 2132; 2nd, 2l39; 3rd 2176. This
vote shows an increase Of more than
1000 votes over five years ago when
Saxon for district attorney received
the largest vote of any democrat on
the ticket, which was 1852.
The polls opened at eight o'clock
and the voter began to cast their bal
lots for their favorites. Each candi-
date was here in person or had some
special representative TO ask the vo-
ters to support their favorite. The
buzz-wagons were busy bringing in
those who did not have time to come
otherwise, so it is plain that every
available vote was polled that could
possibly be urged to get out.
There were a number of farmers
here from all parts of the county, and
some of them were working for their
favorite candidate. II may have done
some good but from the returns it
looks like their men would have gain
ed more votes If they had stayed at
home and worked among the neigh
bors. Tucumcari polled nearly 700
votes. This was perhaps because so
many farmers were allowed to come
here and vote. Some Of the Repub-
licans did not vote and number Of
the socialists did not vote.
Sands-Dorsey Drug Co. displayed n
large bulletin containing the votes for
the several candidates. This board
was the feature of the evening. At
first some Of the candidates thought
they were elected by big majorities
but when other districts commenced
to lower their lead silence prevailed

ENos MANNEY MARRIED

Enos +. Manney, the young man
who has served on the Democrat force
for nearly year as printer, "angel,"
and in other capacities, got tired OF
the single life last week and got him
self married. Miss Irene Rogers, the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. J. c. Rogers
was the fortunate young lady. They
were married on Thursday evening of
last week by Probate Judge Campbell
at his Office in the court house, just an
hour or two too late TO get the item
in the paper last week. We had sus-
pected Manney Of contemplating such
"A move for sometime, but compared TO
the information he gave us the noise
Judge Hughes made in pre-convention
days was deafening. However, we are
glad to see him get hooked up in douo

folks will now settle down and pursue
the prosaic paths Of peaceful married
life. The "old man" and Haynes ex-
tend the glad hand of felicitation on
behalf of the old rag" o. freedom

trust they live long and prosper abun-

MAINE NEXT?

One result of the Maine election,
according to the Boston Herald, will
be votes For women. The Repub-
licans will control both branches of
the next Maine legislature by a two
thirds vote-the senate, in fact, by a
six-sevenths vote--and they are
pledged to offer a suffrage amend
ment by platform promises and by
the assurance of their leaders. The
governor-elect is strongly in favor
of woman suffrage, and nobody ques-
tons his sincerity. In the last leg
islatufe the Republicans geve their
full vote for such an amendment. but
the Democratic leaders prevented the
necessary two-thirds vote In the
house. It has become pretty much a
party matter in Maine-and, as
usual, rum did it" The Maine wom-
en-, SO far as they are organized, are
strongly for prohibition. The Re-
publicans, as a party, are no less
strongly committed to prohibition"
WOMEN'S VOTES ARE IMPOR-
TANT TO BOTH PARTIES
According to Thomas F. Logan in
Leslie's for October, In 1912, If 88
women in California had voted for
Wilson, he would have carried the
state against Roosevelt, who received
IL electoral votes. In Wyoming, a
change of 50 votes and in Idaho
change of $50 votes would have de-
livered z electoral votes from Wilson
to Taft. Less than 10000 votes
would have swung Illinois 20 cleo
toral votes from Wilson to Roosevelt.
