A voter-voiced column weighs Democratic and Republican legacies since the war. It labels Democrats as the party of lost gains while praising Republicans for action. The piece questions Speaker Larrazola’s appeals to Mexican audiences and critiques party support for New Mexico’s statehood and funding for schools.
The Republican slate lists Phillips for sheriff Bowman for clerk Baird for treasurer and collector Jones for assessor Fields for probate judge Simms for school superintendent Miller for surveyor Shields for commissioners with Andrews as delegate and Tipton Tempke and Lutz for the legislative race. The Democrats are said to have fared less favorably in the nominating game.
The piece surveys Republican and Democratic sentiments in the territory with focus on Larrazola Andrews and statehood hopes. It notes Governor Curry’s push for statehood, local arrivals in Alamogordo, land and cattle activity, and a call for letters to The Western Trail to support the valley before November 1.
