intent to inflict a great bodily m
jury" which. was greter victory for
defendant. Georgc Leland. Leland was
filmed 500 by the Court and ordered
committed TO the county jail for one
I'D year but was paroled and never
served a day of the sentence.
The other of the said two convic-
tons was the State VS. G. l.. Harris
for robbing the men at the grading
camp east of Logan, Ia, which case
was tried last term of court and Har-
ris has appealed to the Supreme
Court and the case is now pending
in that court. Harris defenses were
all purely technical. P. E. Roadifer's
father assisted him in the trial of
that case, advising him during the
trial what to do.
The above are the facts as 10 the
successful" prosecutions BY p T..
Roadifer during the last four wears.
AS to the SO pleas of guilty during
the said four years: these We're cases
in which the defendants had 10 de-
Tense and admitted that they we're
guilty, and sa pied, and did not have
any trial whatever. Of said number
of cases, most of them were minor
offenses in which tn record shows
small fines We're paid. In 4 great many
cases p. E. Roadifer allowed the de-
PENDANTS. who. perhaps, ought to haye
served term in the penitentay, to
pay fine and go free, he, the ounty
Attorney, getting a percentage Of the
fines in addition to his salary under
he low. This may account, in some
degree, for the amount of thc fines
pad.
In me of the criminal cases tried
(Which We're all of the criminal eases
that We're tried( there were seven ac-
quittals, that is, the County Attorney
los seven of the nine cases tried by
him. The record shows even worse
for the said George Leland, one of
the two persons convicted, really won
his case, as everyone knows for, ii
he was guilty of any crime it was
assault with intent to commit muir
der. So a fair construction of he re-
cord shows that even with the as
sistance of his father, P. E. Roadifer
has, in four (4) long years, won only
sONE case, that is, the Harris case
(which is now pending in the Supreme
j Court
| ask the voters of Harrison county
to examine the record, or talk with
any of the lawyers of the county
who have been defending in these
criminal cases and find out what the
facts are in the matter before vot-
ling.
To say, as stated in said article, in
the light of. the above facts, that
P. E. Roadifer "has had remarkable
success as a prosecutor since he took
the office and has made record of
convictions hard to beat" is ludi-
crously absurd, to say the least. How
could he have made a poorer record
of convictions in the cases actually
tried?

THE CASE OF MR.. KUTTiNG


Mr. Kutt;ng thinks it was simply
awful for Sheriff Arnijo TO have
opposed Governor Larrazolo at the
Albuquerque Convention.
Mr.. Kutting is dead against dup
licity, and TO prove it, says so him
self. But let us examine the facts
concerning all this double crossing
business.
Early in the pre-conyention CAM
paign Sheriff ArmiJo was support
ing the Governor. Sheriff Armijo
soon learned, however that close
friends Of the Governor, including
a member Of his " household,
were attacking him and asserting
that they would beat him for the
nomination. Sherf Armijo was a
candidate He kept his peace and
sid nothing When the County
Convention was ready TO selct d le-
oates TO the State Convention
Sheriff Armiio informed the Gov
errors chief supporters that he
could not surnort the Governor.
Personal friends Of the Sheriff kn ~
weeks before the Convention thar
he was against the Governor
They also knew that Klt'ire ris
double croesina Sheriff Armi
c mply because Sheriff Armijo
didn't com with a brass band and
his position so that las
enem es could further ombarsss his
candidacy he is a double C-oseer.
But What Of Mr.. Ku'ting2
Mr. Kutting was one # those who
pretended to be for Sheriff Armiio.
To make IT real impressive h pub
Il, he'd an editorial pra sing the pres
emf office holders and politely told
the "voung f%ellers" TO let well
enough alone. Fine But where
did Mr. Kuttinp really stand. and
what did he eventually intend to
do? More Record
At a meeting Of the fusion forces
to determine whether or not hands
should be Joined with the democrats,
Mr.. Kutting asserted that he had
been for fusion or something OF the
sort and against the court House
Gang" from the very beginn ng
that in first instance he was for
General Wood and could say moth
inc about the Court Horss Gang
for fear of hurting the Wood am
pa'gn: Later, he still felt the same
way, but he was supporting Gov
ernor Larrazolo, and for fear OF
iniuring his chances he maintained
his peace.
He was against the Court House
Gang" from the very beginn ng, but
was unable to show his hand until
hi. W schemes had failed.
Pretending TO be for Sheriff Ar
milo when he knew he was not
was c~ommendable in Mr.. Kutting
Sheriff Arm'io who successfully
protected himself against the plot
tiers. is a double crosscr and m
worthy to hold Office.

Kutting's loaded dice Is Il n
