Now the question occurs to tho ordln art votbr especially when considering thu candidacy of Hitch men as Mr. Kerr and Mr. Pratt. Is not Mr. Kerr also more competent V Helta graduate ol two colleges while Mr. l'ratt Is n gradu ate of only one. Mr. Kerr Is certainly better educated has had more experience aud Is therefore more- competent! so the only reason that can consistently be urged for voting agalntt him Is be cause he It a demotrat and Mr l'ratt a republican. With reference to tha treasurer and collector's blllce, while Mr. Mathetonfor the piret two years may havo managed to administer the affairs of that office In a reasonably satisfactory manner, yet It is a well known fact that It was done by an at slttant whom he wat compelled to em ploy at all times. While on the other head Mr. J, D. Walker the democratic candidate performed the duties of assessor ot the county In a mot creditable manner for four years with no aaslitatit whatever, lie alto con ducted tbe office of sheriff and collector loan exemplary manner, for two years without bating to resort to employing astUtaoU, other than an occassional clerk whea the work was, moro than could be performed by auy ont man. Mr. waiters six years rucoru at a re liable competent roan is before tha poopls for Inspection, to which tbo Cvrxsnt points with pride. So eoadutlon tba Current reiterates eriUout fear of contadlclloa, that tie1 Democrats, do you want to give tha republican paper another opportunity to brag about a democratic county turning down democrats' Thu fob lowluff from thn ArgUH of two years ago this fall shows how Hint paper will blow next wcok unlc.it tho democracy u-lllatAiiil lutfiither! ... . .... . , . . . ... i . , Friday's election passed off nut- rm""" " up n uemoorai snouiu einiiu ly.

They were not mltlaken in the wlthenof the people, and nnturully the result of the election nf two republicans to office In a county that has nlwayH prided llseif upon ita unswerving democracy is not very p'eiislng to the bred lu-the-bonu faith' fill. The republican territorial commttte used $12,000 of confederate money In Bah Juan county two years ago to buy Mexican votes. Wonder If they are using the same kind In this county? Vote tho straight democratic ticket and you rill mako no mistake. They aro nil i:ooJ men who are not afraid to say they bellevo In the principles of democracy, and they are not trying to catch votes by circulating malicious lion. "When iDiiorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise." Tho above quotation might bo aald to apply with lacunar force to the Argus When In reference, to returning an escaped criminal who was uuuer bond to the county. The Argus had thu folUltig. Tho Aruus resnectfully culm to thn attention of tho hoard ul county com missioners that no expense should at tach Ui Kddy county for the trip nf Uherllt Stewart to California to Hccure thu nr soner. l)n Johnson, recently captured there. The men who Hlgued joiiusoue iiiiua K'larauiccu nis up pearunco when wanted, unci uh u fn illlinent nf thut pledge, they must produce him. Such expense- us Is in. vnived In securing his return properly belonift tn them, and not to Kddy cnuu. The cnmmlisiniiera snouiu nppiy a viunroiis ciiecK in iikr instance to ttielr well known p'op'-nilty. Tho Argus does not seem to be aware of the fact that the clerk of thedlt- trlct court Issued an alias warrant to the sheriff and sent him after Johnson and tho court must collect from the bonds men of Johnson. The Currknt can Inform the Argus nnd all others Hint the commissioners have nothing to do with the return of fscaiwd parties who aro under bond, Instead, tho sheriff Is sent by the court, which allows thn bill of the sheriff, according to law and col lects on tho bond as the law directs, Standby Lurraxolo. He Is moro of an American than his Canadian Irish opponent llodey, Lnrrazolo was edit catoi lit New Mexico where he lived except tho tlino hn was In Kl 1'aso, which dUtrlct honored hi in with tho office, of district attorney two terms. In Hildy county republicans claim to be uon-partlslaiiR. yet It Is an esinb lUlied fact that they always vote tho republican tloket regardless of whether the nominees are good or bad men. Democrats who are being deceived by this iiou-pnrtlslau ploa uhould rcmem ber this. Oliver Dltson (who by the way It a member of the republican county committee) Hod when ho said Mr, l'ratt built up tho schools of Eddy county. Mr. l'ratt does not employ nor does he select tho teachers fur tho schools; he ouly performs the duties of his office and those duties havo such small con nection with the actual work of the school room that It would not make any difference with the schools, either one way or the other. The only way good schools in Kddy county aro built up Is by tho school boards employing good teachers and thus gaining the support of patrons of the school. Poss ibly Oliver Dltson thinks Mr. l'ratt Is responsible for Carlsbad having good schools this year. What did ha do to make the Carlsbad sohools what Uu y are this yeary Nothing, the board of education deserve the credit, for they, nrjt Mr. l'ratt. employ teachers, conduct tho schools and are responsible for the school, whether It be good or bad. The republicans of Dona Ana coun ty hutu spMt on the oounty ticket und one soclloii has Joned the detnooaroy In a boilv.'ffdna Ana will nrobnb v be found In thu democratic column after election. , ' ' If the republican party In Kddy county Is so strictly uon-partlslau, why Is It that the republican central cum mltteeman writing under the name of Oliver Dltson Is so strongly In favor of thu republicans on that ticket aud has so little to say about tire balance uf the ticket? It ijon't look so non-partlsiau after all. Thn levied made mnd by the school board of thin school district amount when added to tho regular levy for school purposes to 81.15. The territor ial, outside of school levy Is HOW aud thu county levy outsldo of school levies onlym The rgus first, stated that taxes wero Increasing and gave it out cold that the county board had raised tho rate. Now when It Is proven that the county board allowed tho levy for MOO to remain tho same us for lB'J aud that our Increased taxes are due to ter ritorial steals of republicans nnd a high rato for support of schools the Argus drops the contention that the county board has raised the tax rate. If the Argus table of rates of taxatlou Is ex amined It will bo seett that the sup port of territorial schools Is counted ns an item of county oxpeitHe; also that the county rate hns not bieit Increased In tbe least.

Tho abort from this wetk'4 Argus Is n slur agalntt Mr. Kerr which should Imi resented by every friend of our worthy mayor and family. In what way will Mr. Kerr corrupt the schools of Kddy county V Is ha such a monster that ha will actually corrupt our hcIiooIh if elected' Is he dissipated and degraded? Is ho a convict or horse thief? U lie a drunkard or gambler y will frlendt nf Mr. Kerr bear such slurs with tbe meekness that all the lies and slandtrt uttered by the repub licans during the present campaign have been borne y Or, will they, by their votes next Tuesday, show their disapproval uf such slander by burying the republican ticket out of eighty the republicans are whispering around Kddy couttty that Lnrrlrolo s n Mexican and should be defeated on that score. Hut up In Hauta Fo and lbuquerque they tell a different tnlo. Hoar this from tho AlbuuuATuua Journal: "In fact tho only creditable paper mitmort Mr. Larrlxola haazecelv- ed thus far has coma from the WMi of Kl raso. The pcoplo nf New Mexico know nothing about Svlm, but ho seems to bo very popular In Texas and H the "TclanaV; could vote jf or him he would probably be elected,'' Tho republicans of this territory aro evidently determined to. prove to the pcoplo of the northern portion that Larrlftolo it a Texan nod to tba people uf the southern portion that he Is a Mexican. Thn facts am that what troublestbe republicans Is that Karri zolo Is rut honest man, a good speaker and well posted lawyer, who, during, hlsitwo terms as district attorney of the western counties of Texas was found to be- competent and honest. An extract from the speech of Judge Long on Hon. 0. A. Larrazolo descri bes our candidate as a trv'y self made man as follows. Ho was a brave champion of dome cracy in tho City of El 1'aso, and there whero he Is known best are people who love him most, llotptnt there bit days as n boy, worked on the farm and rauge n common ton of toll, to get tht money to procure an education. The people who have watched hit outgoing and Incoming and who know htm face to face and heart to heart, they have trusted him with public offices which he splendidly Oiled so that lu coming to New Mexico he brought the Indorse ment of people who knew him best. Who can more successfully carry the democratic flag. I aro glad my friend from HIQ Arriba asked the nuestlon. These delegates must answer It. Hero in new Mexico we should march for ward together, not as adversaries, nut as cue ni Irs. but as friends even though -to ma) iioi gpeax mo same language, may not be of tht same lineage.

"Among the voters we want to plead non-pattltlan, but vtheji It comes to voting any re publican It better than tho best demo crat." What tlo you thing of such talk? This good republican should havo said that he would tote for n yellow tlog In preference to a democrat. Thn qutttlon In, will yon, by your voto In dorse such a sentiment. The Argus says Mr. Karratolo Imi resided In the territory less than twenty mouths. He. resided In the territory from IftTO to 1WW. Then from 1WI to HdO. lie received his education at l.ai Cruces nnd Santa Fe. He Is more of nu American than Itodey who, is tha most pernicious kind of an Irishman n Queen Victoria Irishman.
