DEMOCRATS OF
union COUNTY NOMINATE
SPLENDID TICKET

YThe Democratic party placed in
the field one of the strongest tick
cts ever offered to the voters of I'm
ion County.
JThe ticket is headed with two men
for the. legislature whoss. are both
qualified, and able to represent the
taxpayers of New Mexico.
yF. j. Robertson of the Des Moines'
community was a member of the
Texas legislature for two terms and
madeea splendid record. He is a
perfect, gentleman, and isewell liked
by all who know him.
Juan d. CasadosS the other candi-
date for the legislature needs no
Introduction to the people of Union
County. He represented this COun-
ty in the State Legislature during
the first two sessions after we be-
came a state.
Col. J. A. Sewers was nominated
for Sheriff and no stronger cam
didate could have been picked He
lives near Seneca, some thirty miles
north of Clayton. He is a far
mer and auctioneer and has per-
haps wider acquaintance in this
county than any other one man.
If Mr.. Sewers is elected Sheriff
he will enforce the law and in these
times of reconstruction in the alb
-senee of booze it is absolutely
necessary that we have Sherin
who will see TO il that no bootleg
gers are allowed to linger long in
this county.
Frank g. Casados of Miera was
nominated for Clerk. Y Frank is an
educated man, a native. OF Union
County and .if~eleeted will continue
to give the same efficient service
that was rendered by Juan j. Duran.
j. E. Alexander was re-nOminated
for Assessor. u He needs no intro-
duction to the people of Union Coun-
ty. His record speaks for itself.
The Assessors books are in better
condition today than ever in the
history of this County. He has the
reputation of being the best Asses
sor in the State of New Mexico.
There is no question but what the
voters of Union County will return
him to office.
L. E. Byrne was nominated for
County Treasurer Mr.. Byrne is
the present Treasurer of Union
County, having been appointed by
the County Commissioners to fill out
the unexpired term of Mr. Sanchez.
Mr.. Byrne has been associated with
the Treasurer's Office for the past
seven years. The records in that
office are in better condition today
than they have ever been. II would
be sad mistake to remove Mr..
Byrne from the Treasurer's Office
at this time, and place in his stead
an inexperienced man.
Tom Edmondson, OF Clayton; H.
G. Magruder, Of Hayden and Louis
Gomez, Of Des Moinesi were nomi%
mated for County Commissioners.
Mr.. Magruder and Mr.. Edmondson
are at present representing the first
and third commissioner districts.
Their record speaks for itself. More
roads have been built under their
supervision than was ever even
planed in all,the history of the eOun-
ty before. The voters Of Union
County will return these two men to
oice with far greater majority
than that Of two years ago.
Mr.. Comes is a young man, and at
present engaged in the sheep busi-
ness. He is good business man,
and all who know him in the second
commissioners district are satisfied
with his nomination. He will make
us a splendid commissioner.
Antonio Chavez, of Albert, New
Mexico, was renominated for Pro-
bate Judge. y Mr.. Chavez has made
us splendid Judge during the past
two years. The voters of this coun-
tyty should and will return Mr..
Chavez to the office he now holds.
prof. Arthur England, of Thomas,
New Mexico, was nominated for
