COUNTY CENTRAL CON-
MITTEE NEEDS HELP

The county central committee OF
the Democratic party needs help tc
win this election, and the facts in
the case are that if the Democratic
ticket is to be put over in this coun.
ty the individual members of the
party will have to do the putting
over" There are two things you
the individual Democrat, can do tc
help. You can subscribe to our cam
paign fund and you can do personal
work with your neighbors, friends
and your women folk. We need
your help, and remember We need
i badly.
Let me discuss with you, briefly,
the financial side of this campaign.
We are not trying to raise a large
"slush" fund First, because we
couldn't and we wouldn't. We do
not want a big campaign fund. But
there are certain fixed and legiti-
mate expenditures that are absolute
ly necessary to the carrying on of
campaign. Beyond this we do not
need financial aid.
We make this appeal to the indi-
vidual members of the party for the
reason that the state central COM
mittee are unable to furnish any fl
nancial help whatever to Torranc4
county, for the state central COM
mittee have no money to carry on
the state campaign, to say nothing
of helping us in county election.
The history of the Democratic
party is the history of poor mans
party. Never have the Democrats
had anything like as much money to
fight with as have had the Repubi-
cans.
This will be your campaign You
and | must donate of our time and
money to the success of the Demo
cratic party if that party is to be
successful.
A word as to how you may help
the party to success by personal
work: Talk to your neighbors about
this election. Get the spirit of the
leaders. Realize that we are bui
members of an organization that
stands for good government in the
nation and state as well as in the
county. Realize that the Democratic
party is dedicated to the work OF
running out every tax-dodger in the
state of New Mexico. (The lack Of
q big campaign fund proves the sin
cerity of the Democratic party's po-
sition in the .mattcr.) And further
more realize that special privilege
for a few is being fought tooth
and toe-nail' by our party. Again,
realize that no forward looking man
or woman in the state of New Mexi-
co can afford for the good Of his
OF her own self respect to fail to
support the cause of reform in this
state.
After you have grasped the mean.
ing of this campaign and know that
Republicans of the progressive type,
Republicans who have been as
thorns in the side of Bossism in
New Mexico, have deserted their own
party and joined hands with the
Democratic party for a cleaning up
of New Mexico, you then realize
your party's position, and you will
be in a position to help put over
the best state and county ticket the
Democratic OF any other party has
ever put up for election in New
Mexico.
Remember that the county centra'
committee are counting on you
They are counting on you for your
vcte. They are counting on you for
financial help; they are counting on
you to diligently work for the cleo
ton of your county ticket.
See Mr. J. N. Burton, treasurer
of the county central committee, OIL
Mr. Ralph Robertson, the secretary,
and give them your subscription,
and do it now.
Let the county chairman know al
once if he may count on you to get
