The Other Candidates.

Not single reason has been advanced re- ny

not be reelected to office. He has had two
years. experience on the job He has devoted
his entire time to the work. He has employed
efficient help. You have received service in
his office. He speaks both English and Spanish
fluently. He has kept the records of the Of
flee in business like way. Without compen-
sation he accepted job as purchasing agent
for the county and saved the county thousands
of dollars by buying in wholesale lots and at
competitive prices. He saved 5 cents gallon
on gasoline used by the county; 25 cents
gallon on lubricating oil. He saved $4,000 in
interest to the tax payers by insisting that
$4,000 in refunding bonds be retired at an
optional date, instead of letting them run for
fifteen years beyond that date.
A new deal is needed in the county clerks
office. We must have an efficient person in
charge of the deeds, wills, probate records,
mortgages, trust deeds and other very i'm
portant instruments offered for record and re-
corded in the permanent books of that office.
1t is to your absolute interest to have a COM
petent, efficient person in that office, regard
less of age, height weight, color or creed. The
democrats offer you Miss Lucy Harris, for II
years deputy clerk in the county clerks Of
flee, for the last five years in the office of
Deputy County Clerk and Court Clerk Harry
F. Lee. She speaks English and Spanish, is
office and can give you 100 per cent service
from the day she takes charge.
Judge w. w. Mcclellan, candidate for pro-
bate Judge, has lived in this community for
nearly forty years. He was the first president
of the board of education of Albuquerque
supervised the building of the first public
school. He has been a justice of the peace
sixteen years; city police judge six years.
He studied law in his fathers office many
wears ago and is extremely we'll uualifiad
because of training and ability, coupled with
sound sense of justice and the fitness of
things to give good service in that very inn
portant office of probate judge.
Atanacio Montoya has made record as
county school superintendent in this county
which is unbeatable His results in the work
speak for themselves
Felipe Zamora, the candidate for sheriff. is
a splendid type of the progressive, business
like native son. The republicans have started
false, vicious rumors in an effort to blacken
his character; but all of these rumors have
proved beneficial to Zamora. Zamora is for
enforcement of laws, state and county; he
stands firmly for using all the force of his Of
flee, if elected to the punishment of vioators
of the Volstead amendment and all other ma
tional laws.
In word, friends, if you want good, clean
set of county officers, you have no alternative
but to vote the democratic ticket. We have
said nothing against the republican candidates
We could do so if we desired We are honest
in our statement, that you will be doing your
self the greatest possible good on Tuesday
next, by voting the straight democratic ticket
from top to bottom.
Yours very sincerely
DEMOCRATIC COUNTY CENTRAL
COMMITTEE.
