GET READY FOR COUNTY FAIR

The Curry County Farm Bureau
News gives the following boost to the
County Fair:
''Now is the time to begin prepara-
tion for your exhibit at the County
Fair. The grain exhibits should be
collected rs rapidly as they are ma
ture enough to cut. They should be
cured in the shade with the heads
down so that they will retain their
green color and shapliness,
"The live stock should be given a
little extra grain and brushing up
for the next thirty days in order for
them to make the best showing at the
County Fair.
"The Fair Association is doing all
in its power to provide for these
exhibits, and farmers should therefore
do their part in putting their produce
and live stock in the best possible
condition. The Fair will be held at
Clovis, October 14th, 18th and 18th.
So let everybody do their part and
we will have a fair that will do credit
to any county"

SCHOOL OUTLOOK BRIGHT

With an adequate teaching force
to take care of the additional enroll
ment, the outlook for a successful
year for the Clovis schools is very
bright, according to Superintendent
E. W. Bowyer. Although the delay in
tho new Eugene Field School build
ing is causing half day sessions in
some of the grades, and some incon-
venience in the class arrangement at
the high school building, prospects for
the year are better than ever before.

ronage there was to promise, deliver
ed their delegations like poems under
orders.
He was ineligible, nominated in di-
rect contravention Of the constitution
Of New Mexico and the laws of the
state as established by decisions Of
its supreme court.
II there is ever to be a real Repub-
lican party in this state this machine
must be smashed now, lock stock and
barrel.
Until this oligarchy is put abso-
lutely out Of business; until the time
arrives when it is not tolerated in Re-
publican councils, Republican Organi-
cations and Republican conventions,
there is no hope of getting the party
back to the people. While the ele-
ment which put this job over is still
in control, Republicans need expect
nothing fair, square or honorable in
party affairs and majority rule will
remain a myth.
The defeat Of the ticket is already
asured. Republican after Republican
has stated publicly and with no reser-
vations that he will either "quit" or
get out and fight the ticket. But this
defeat must be the most monumental
and crushing in the history Of New
Mexico elections. We urge every
self-respecting Republican to get into
the game and show Mr.. Fall and Mr..
Bursum and Mr.. Hawkins and Mr..
SecundinO Romero and Mr.. 0tero and
Mr.. Sully and Mr.. Jesus Romero that
there are still party men in the state
who will not be herded; that there is
real Republican party in New Mex
ieO and that Il is ready to clean house.

Will Not Support the State Ticket
(Santa Fe New Mexcan)

The Santa Fe New Mexican calls
upon all coed Republicans in New
Mexico, who have aEy regard for the
future Of their party to join in the
work Of defeating decisively and over
whelmingly the un-Republican ticket
dictated to them at the state con-
vention in albuquerque by A. B.
Fall, H. o. Bursum, W. A. Hawkins,
j. M, Sully, Secundino Romero, Ed
0tero and Jesus Romero.
The New Mexican will fight this
ticket from now until election day
with all its energy and all its re-
sources.
This ticket is unrepresentative of
the Republican party Of New Mexico.
It was forced upon the Republican
party against its will.
1t was forced upon the Republican
party by un-Republican, un-Ameri-
can politically indecent methods.
1t was the result Of one Of the raw
est deals ever put across by the old
territorial bosses and the special in
tercsts with which they are so closely
and permanently affiliated.
The head of the ticket has been for
many years a protege Of H. o. Bur
sum.
He is not the choice of the Re.
publican convention.
He IA unacceptable to the rank and
file Of the party.
He was handpicked by the bosses,
substituted by coercion for the plain
and unmistakable choice Of the indi-
vidual delegates.
He was nominated because peanut
