ONE WAY OF MAKING VoTESp

MOT long ago a well known citizen of New Mexico was robbed of
IN a considerable sum of money and considerable values in mer
: chandhc. The man who took the money and merchandise was
arrested and pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to a term in the
penitentiary at Santa Fe. Governor Iarrazolo pardoned him.
The man whose store had been robbed said when he heard OF
the pardon:
"There is one democratic institution in New Mexico. It is the
state penitentiary All the republicans have been pardoned out. F"
A lifelong democrat who lives in Old Albuquerque made the
statement in all seriousness recently that he believed LarraZolo had
n chance Of reelection. "Hc has pardoned more than four score
men and women during his term as governor said this man. "If
all their relatives, as a matter of gratitude, vote for him il will be
almost enough TO overcome the probable normal democratic majority
that | believe exists"
