The Democrats at their State
Convention in Santa Fe last week
placed in the field ticket that cam

the voters ef,New Mexieo-
Peace and harmony, prevailed
Throughout the convention; and
when the time came to place in NOM
nation The rahdidates for the various
offices thsge was little or no con-
fusionel ~ - 4. ~
Gorigf man w. Alien. was
nom&Qatea sfer the Senate q on the
first ballot. Amid much applause
Walton marched down the isle to
the speakers stand where he ad-
dressed the delegates for thirty min>
utes. He was interrupted by ap-
plause all through his speech. Wal
ton is man of the people. He
has stood squarely behind President
Wilson for the past two years as a
member of Congress. He has guard
ed carefully the interests of New
Mexico at all times. and in the halls
of the United States Senate he will
reflect credit upon this great State
and be apOwer behind the throne in
assisting President Wilson to car
ry out his War policies.
In the selection of the candidate
for Governor the convention simp-
ly went wild when the name of
Garcia was mentioned. Felix Gar
cia, wealthy rancher Of Rio ArribO
County was nominated on the first
ballot. Mr.. Garcia is of Spanish de-
scent and an able business man, and
if elected, and he is sure to be. he
will give us an economical and hon.
est administration as chief execu-
tive OF the state.
- The other candidates are ali good
men, qualified in every particular 10
fill the Office 10 which they will be
elected. Z
It's true that we as Democrats and
Independent voters will have to fight
against mighty machine oiled with
melting dollars as they fall from the
hands Of the professional politician.
But the voters of New Mexico will
not be deceived. They will think
for themselves and on election day
will cast q ballot for honest and
efficient men TO guide the ship Of
State. -
Mr.. Voter we are today involved
in the greatest War OF the World.
Our boys over there are fighting for
principle. A principle dear TO
the hearts of every true American.
Our President is charged with the
responsibility of leading our nation
through this conflict and delivering
our boys back TO their homes again.
Shall we support him, or shall we
by our ballot say that we prefer
a divided house? If President Will
son has made good and we all agree
that he has. then why not give him
a Democratic Congress. A congress
composed of men in sympathy with
his administration and not profess
sional politicians eager for an op-
portunity to discTedit anything he
might do in order to further their
own personal advantages.
