vrain, authorizes the News to an
nounce his candidacy for the office Of
County Commissioner Of District No.
2, subject to the action Of the Demo

has lived in Curry County since 1907
and during this time has become suf-
ficiently familiar with the needs of
the county to qualify him for an ex-
cellent county commissioner. He has
been democratic precinct committee
man from his precinct during this
entire time and is loyal and staunch
Democrat. 1t takes plenty of bust
ness ability and a good deal Of sac
rifice Of mans time to make a good
county commissioner, and Mr.. Dents
friends say that he will not only give
the office the study it should have
but he has the business ability to
make an excellent official as well.

WOMEN WILL VOTE IN
PRIMARY ELECTION APRIL a

The Democratic primary election
will be held on Saturday, April Gath
and the women Of the county will be
invited to participate. This was the
principal business transacted by the
Democratic Executive Committee in
a meeting held last Saturday after
noon at the court house.
There were number Of Democrats
present including nearly all the can
didates who expressed themselves in
favor Of an early primary and also
unanimously favored allowing the
women Of Democratic inclinations to
participate in the primary. This was
favored on account Of the almost GER
tain fact that suffrage will be adopted
by the time the election is held this
fall.
E. c. Wilkinson Of Pleasant Hill
was named as secretary of the ex-
ecutive committee and nearly all pre-
cincts were represented.
In order to keep down the expense
Of conducting the election, which
must be met by the candidates, It was
decided to have only one Judge and
two clerks at each precinct, the
Democratic committeeman from each
precinct acting in the capacity Of
judge. The county chairman will ap-
point the clerks.
It was voted by the committee that
all candidates must file their names
by April oath If they get on the
ticket. tt

SEN. NEwBERRY MUST
SERVE TWO YEARS

Grand Rapids, Mich, March 20.--
United States Senator Truman H.
Newberry, maker Of laws, this week
felt the weight of the law.
Standing in federal court here
Newberry was sentenced to two
years in the Leavenworth federal pen
itentiary and to pay a $4,000 fine.
Sixteen followers, convicted with him
Of fraudulent practices in the elections
of 1918, were sentenced to imprison-
ment or fines, or both.
Newberry asserted he was not as
hamed of the conviction. He will take
the case to the supreme court, he said,
for ruling on the merits Of the cor
rupt practices act. His greatest con-
cern was for those who had helped
him win his office and who, at the end
Of an eight weeks trial, had been
found guilty with him. Sixty-eight
defendants were acquitted by the
jury. s.

Vote For A Greater Clovis

April 9th Clovis will vote ON some important
bond issues. OF particular Importance to the
future of the-town is the one that provides
for 100000 for the purpose of making neces-
sary improvements to the water and light
plant. Clovis is growing rapidly. 1t is no
easy matter to finance the light and water
plant so that it will keep up with the increased
load that is put on it each month. Taxes are
high, it is true, but Clovis citizens who would
see the town continue to grow as it has in the
past few years should bear in mind that it can
not do this without adequate public utilities.
Should the bond issue to provide for taking
care of the light and water plant be defeated
at this time it cannot be voted on again for
two years. Vote for the Water Works Bond
issue-it means a greater Clovis.
