THE CAMPAIGN IS NOW ON
Tho Democratic Central Commit
tee of Torrance county wishc3 to
announce that the Democratic cam
paign is now on.
The Republicans have held their
convention. The least said in re
gard to that convention the better
off we will all be. The manner of
nominating the Republican ticket
is now history.
We wish simply to call your at
tention to the fact that the Repub
licans were forced to travel far and
wide to fill out the ticket. Their
nominee for county schrfol superin
tendent's interests aré not. now in
Torrance county, if they ever were.
Nevertheless tho Republican ticket
out. Whether it goes to election
day as it now stands is a big ques
tion. Its repudiation by t'ife voters of
the county is-certain.
Tho Democratic campaign will hot
stoop to mud throwing. In this
mpaign which we will conduct wc
aro willing and more than willinp
that the individual candidates shall
be elected, or rejected, on theii
merits. Let .this campaign be z
clear cut issue of fair play; let the
idiotic imbecility of the Willard
Record chatter itself into oblivion
unmourned.
From a Democratic standpoint
this must of necessity be an
economical campaign. We have not
an unlimited campaign fund with
which to fight. Wo must depend
upon the loyalty of the party's rank
and file.
