lived there twenty-one years and one
day, and was one of the few Demo-
Gratis raised in that county-it being

He speaks Spanish we'll enough to
conduct the business of the office
he seeks, with our Spanish-American
citizens.
Since coming to Torrance county
he has been an abstractor of titles,
which as everybody knows, peculiar
ly fits him for the position of coun-
ty clerk.
If elected, he has agreed to give
his personal attention to the con-
duct of the office.
D. C. HOWELL
1t scarcely seems necessary to
anything further than the
name of Dixie Howell, who is the
nominee for assessor; but as some of
the new comers may not know him,
we will state that he has already
held this office in 1909-1O and-11,
when we were a territory, and has
held it down as deputy under his
own successor for five years since,
1912-1916. This qualities him. He
promises if elected to get back on
the job at the same old stand.
