WHY NOT, HAVE
; A CITIZENS TICKET.
After thinking over the primary
election proposition for the nomina
tion of a Democratic city ticket, th
Record will go a step " farther, and
- suggest that a mass meeting of Dem
ocrats Bhould be called to discuss the
question of nominating a citizens or
business men's ticket. This year two
hundred thousand dollars is to be ex
pended for "public improvements, and
now is the time for demanding the
election of; none but competent and
reliable business men to represent
the whole -people in the transaction
of public business. The city is great
er than any party organization what
soever, and the responsibility of our
city officers to ALL the taxpayers
was never half so great as it will be
this year. '
The interests of the taxpayers are
a thousand -times more important
than the ambitions of whispering pol
iticians and ward bosses.
Nine-tenths of all the town rows
throughout the United States have
been started by petty politics. Ros
well has Just reached a critical pe
riod in her advancement and is rea
dy to undertake the greatest enter
prise in her history an enterprise
That will cost a large sum of money
and whose accomplishment will re
quire sound business judgment and
the strictest integrity. This is no
time for peanut politics and listening
to whispering ward bosses. Let the
citizens get together as they did on
the bond issue and eliminate faction
al and party politics while the town
is engaged in the most important bus-
laess move in its history.
tics may become necessary in Ros-
well.
The Democrats might as well fall
in line with the booster spirit in the
city election. If they -nominate the
slate prepared by the saloon interest
they will not only be disgraced as
party, but will be defeated at the
polls by an independent ticket in ev
ery ward where a stinker or an In
competent is nominated.
The Democratic party has plenty
of good business men for every office
in the city and if they nominate
that sort of men, there will be no op
position. However, the safest plan
to insure the nomination of such
men is a general or mass convention
of citizens. Break the slate of the
whispering ward politicians, and let';
all work together for the advancement
and prosperity of Roswell, New Mex
ico.
GIVE IT UP.
Editor Record: Do you not think
it. would be better to have a city tick
et nominated by a mass convention
of the. people, than to go into ward
conventions and ratify a ticket al
ready selected by R. D. Bell, Hoss
Cummins, U. S. Bateman, Abe White-
man, K. K. Scott and the editor of
the Register-Tribune? (Signed)
CITIZEN FOURTH WARD.
Please ask us an easier one. Sure
ly you have got your men mixed. The
Rcord understands that Bateman is
now an outright prohibitionist, that
Scott stands pat on bis past record.
and that the editor of the Republican
organ wants to be mayor himself. As
to "Hoss" and "Drake," of course ev
erybody ' knows what they favor.
Place none but clean, competent
business men on guard.
The first, great accomplishment of
the Galveston and DesMoiaes plans
of city government is wiping out
ward lines In the election of a busi
ness commission to manage the pub
lic business.
Your party machine plays constant
ly the game of the whispering poll
ticians, and does not often consider
the interests of the voters and tax
payers who believe in a -business ad
ministration whose every act is open
to the inspection of the public.
In principle prohibition Is not
strictly Democratic but when the -li
quor interests- undertake to dominate
and corrupt the Democratic -party,
the abolition of saloons has proven
effective as a Democratic war meas
ure in the South, and the same tac-

If the saloon men keep their hands
off in the coming city election it is
possible that they may continue to
do -business under high license and
strict regulation for years to come
but an offensive move on their part
Just now is liable to drive them out
of Roswell within a few months. We
do not want a saloon fight at a time
when the city ds Just entering upon
an important business enterprise
but if the liquor men force the fight
they will dig their own graves.
The Record understands that the
Democrats of the Fifth Ward have
centered upon Captain iHaynes for
city councilman, J. E. Rucker and
Chas. Sain for members of the school
board. Tbe'y are said also to be a
unit in favoring Walter Paylor tot
city clerk, Mr. Paylor living in that
ward. Their slogan is harmony and
the upbuilding of Roswell. It is not
likely that any plan which might be
devised for holding a primary in the
Fifth would have any effect in chang
ing the selections already made by
the Whiteman brothers.
W. G. Wilkinson, a consulting en
gineer of Kansas City, arrive last
last night to look into the water
works and sewer proposition of Ros
well. Mr. Wilkinson has just finished
building the water plant at Trinidad.
He was once chief engineer of the
waterworks at Dallas, and for three
years was superintaendent of the
Kansas City waterworks. That he is
a thoroughly practical man there can
be no doubt. He is vouched for by
such men as Col. C. C. Slaughter, of
Dallas, and others. The plant at Trin
idad was built with the assistance of
a commission of five business men.
a plan similar to that of Roswell, the
work being subject to the approval
of the city council. -A political wran
gle forced Trinidad to resort to the
commission system, " and after the
matter was placed on a purely busi
ness basis there was no more trou
ble about building the plant.

show our properties. Talk with us.

A STRANGER'S IMPRESSIONS
OF TOWN AND VALLEY.
Campbell Hardy, of the Albuquer
que Journal, who has been spending
several weeks in Roswell, and whose
interesting article descriptive of .the
merits and advantages of the city ap
peared in Monday's issue of that ex
cellent paper, which is doing much
for the upbuilding of the Territoy,
in conversation with the editor this
morning said: "It has been my pleas
ure to have visited all of .the leading
towns in the Territory, and, speaking
disinterestedly, this city impresses
me more favorably, everything con
sidered, -than any other in New Mex
ico. Its beauty of location, the sub
stantial character of its -business int
erests, the intelligence and enterprise
of its citizenship, the pride the citi
zens show in their home town and
their great faith in Its future will ac
count, in part, for the favorable im
pression it has made upon me, a stran
ger. This opinion, I find, is shared
generally by others visiting the city
for the first time with whom I have
conversed. No country, backed as it
is with rich agricultural resources,
lying at its very door and practically
speaking in their infancy of develop
ment, can other "than forge ahead and
materially increase in population and
wealth as the years come and go.
Roswell's great need today is more
railroads and better facilities for the
transportation of her products. The
Santa Fe has done, and is doing,
great and effective work in the up
building of the city and. the valley,
but there is room for more railroads.
More railroads means more people
and more people means more pros
perity for Roswell and this immed
iate territory- of which it is the gate
way and natural distributing center.
With such progressive men as John
W. Poe, E. A. Cahoon, Mayor Stock
ard, A. Pruit, C. C. Tannehill, L. K.
McGaffey, Robert Kellahin, W. P.
Lewis, R. F. Barnett, J. W. Thomas.
and many others that might be men
tioned, with a live Commercial Club
such as Roswell possesses working
as they are and pulling together for
a Greater Roswell, I can foresee no
reason why Roswell will not continue
and grow and prosper and give rival
towns in the territory a warm race
for supremacy and population. It
looks good to me, and my judgment
appears to be backed by others who
have visited here and studied the fac
tors that have put Roswell where it
is today. The town is facing a mag
nificent future, and within the next
ten years I believe Roswell will real
ize the fondest hopes of its most en
thusiastic citizens."
