Foregoing is the ticket nominated
by the Democrats of Ttorra'nce
county in their convention held in
Estancia Monday.
tt is ..very seldom that a county
convention presents such a uniform
ly good set of candidates. Every
in on this ticket, including Mrs.
Parrett, is clean and straight and
well qualified for the office. It .is
a ticket which this paper can sup
port with enthusiasm. Every Demo
crat and every progressive Republi
can can do likewise.
Several occurrences in the con
vention were out of the ordinary
and created some soreness, but it
should be remembered that a con
vention is a law unto itself. There
3 few conventions that do not
transgress a strict construction of
parliamentary rules, but if every
delegate in the convention is giyen
full opportunity to express and vote
his sentiments on every question
that comes up, there is no just
cause for complaint.
This convention fell down and
stepped on itself once or twice, but
there is no charge that the will of
a majority of the delegates did not
prevail in every case.
The two things that caused most
of the talk was the seating of the'
delegation of twelve from Wilson
precinct, and the reconsideration of
the vote on county clerk after a
nomination had been declared.
