cox has that item TO his credit with
a large h and nm italic r.
In his time Mr.. Wilcox has hand
led business that dwarfs the affairs
Of Luna county by comparison, and
he handed it well. For sixteen years
he was property manager of the
Great Northern railway, with head
quarters at st. Paul, and in that
time handled the sale Of all the lands
disposed Of by that company along
its entire right of-way from that city
to the Pacific coast. Later he was
expense manager for the Mississippi
Valley Telephone Co., now the Twin
City Telephone Co., which installed,
under his regime, the present phone
system of Minneapolis and St. Paul,
at a cost of 100000. He also
handled the funds for the paving Of
the third ward, Minneapolis, which is
the largest ward in that city and has
about $4,000 inhabitants. That is
the sort Of affairs the capable hands
Of W. W. Wilcox have administered
in the past. Luna is lucky to be able
TO call upon him to handle the af-
fairs of the commissionership.
Only the "shngs and arrows Of
outrageous fortune" brings Mr.. viii
cox to where we can use him. Or
dered to the coast several years ago
on account Of his wife's health, be
removed to California and invested
heavily in an orange farm, only to be
wiped out with hundreds Of others
in the disastrous floods that swept
the country below Los Angeles in the
spring Of 1914. 81 never went back
to look at that farm" says Mr.. Viii
cox, II saw and heard what the
water did to the others, and that was
enough for me, I turned my back
and walked away from that thirty
thousand dollar investment, and
have never been back"
Although rather late to start over
Mr.. Wilcox made the start and with
his usual success has made good all
over again. He came to Phoenix,
Ariz., and embarked in the theatrical
business another new line. Success
attended his venture there and he
established theatre at Mesa, Ariz.,
and last fall started work on the
Majestic theatre here, which has
prevent he eity's most successful
theatrical venture. Mr.. Wilcox is one
Of thre partners in the Majestic COM
pany, which owns both the theatre
building and the ground on which it
stands.
A resident of Deming for only two
years the Republican nominee for the
first district commissionership is as
familiar with the county's alters as
most old timers, and his interest
therein Just as keen, The county's
business will be safe in his hands.
Voters, step up and meet Mr.. W.
W. Wilcox, the next commissioner
from the first district. You will like
him and you will vote for him.

The example of the Republicans in
picking W. W. Wilcox for the first
district eommissiOnershp may well
he emulated by the voters as a whole
on November 9Th. They can certain
ly make no wiser choice. What is
the one best qualification to be ex-
pected Of a man who would be a
county commissioner You said it.
i is business experience. Mr.. VIII

II You should 20 over the county
Of Luna with a fine comb you would
not find better or filter man for
the office CT sheriff than W. A. Cass-
man, whom the Republicans have
named or that place on their ticket.
Not a man is more fearless or deter
mined in the performance Of his duty
as an officer. Not man can bring
to the office So varied and so valu-
able an experience acquired in the
execution Of an officers duty. Not
a man can boast a wider acqnaini-
ance or has a bunch Of friends more
determined upon his election. Last
but not least nobody can bring to
the office greater love Of its duties
than will Mr. Cassman. He is first,
last and all the time an officer Of
the law and always will be. II is the
very breath Of his life.
Mr.. Cassman had not thought Of
making the race for sheriff a few
days before the convention. He had
Just resigned a position with the
Thompson construction company,
and in the absence Of suitable
opening here was casting his eye to-
ward the coast when some Of his
friends who are prominent in the
party begged him into accepting the
nomination for sheriff, provided the
convention would give it to him. The
convention considered no one else
for the place. Now, on the hypothesis
that anything worth going after is
worth going hard, he has thrown his
whole energy into the campaign that
ends four weeks from next Tuesday.
The results Of his peppery campaign
is already beginning to show, and il
he is beaten by the present incum-
bent, Mr.. Simpson, he will certainly
not be disgraced.
Here are some Of the various items
Of Mr.. Cassman's voluminous exper-
fence as an officer of the law, fol-
lowing his coming to Deming % years
ago:
Chief deputy U. S. marshal at Sill
yer City for three years under c. NJ
Foraker, U. S. marshal for New Mex
leo.
Same office at Albuquerque For IL
years, under same officer,
City officer in Deming from Au-
gust, 1917, to February, 1918, FOL-
lowing return from a years resi-
dence in. Oregon.
Has opened and closed every court
in the state Of New Mexico, includ-
ing the Z. S. court at Santa Fe.
Has tried over 500 cases before
Judge B. Y. McKeyes, and one of the
greatest testimonials TO his worth is
the fact that the Judge is one Of his
strongest boosters, personally and
politically.
Mr.. Cassman is given credit the
state over for being an efficient,
conscientious officer, and has a re-
putation for getting whomever he
may 60 after. Criminals will not
prosper in Luna county under his
regime.
