A SIGNIFICANT ADMISSION.
7. B. Mills, chairman of the committee
on resolutions, of the San Miguel county
Peoples party convention, at an interview
with representative of the New MEXICAN
said yesterday:
IF the election were to-day the com
bined Peoples and Democratic party
would have 700 majority of the vote of
this county; and l say this with private
and absolute knowledge of the condition
of our organization"
"What do you think your majority on
the 8th of November will be-"
"About 400 votes"
"Then you admit and expect to lose
between now and November 300 votes?"
"Well that is rather an unfair question"
VALIANT VALENCIA.
The Republican county convention at
Las Lunas on yesterday was strong and
well attended one, all but four very small
and distant precincts being represented
Ringing resolutions were passed by the
convention and the Republican candidate
for congress, Hon. L. B. Catron, was
strongly and unequivocally endorsed.
Mr.. Catron's name was loudly and con
tinously cheered and he certainly stands
remarkably well with the people of Va
lencia county, who will give him the
largest majority this election that they
have ever given any candidate for office.
The following ticket, an exceptionally
strong one and representing all parts of
the county, was nominated:
Legislative Council. Frank Chaves.
House of Representatives Francisco
Gonzales, Silvestre Mirabal.
Sheriff-Solomon Luna.
Assessor-Francisco Chavez Armijo.
Coroner-Julian ?. Connolly.
Superintendent of Schools-Filomeno
Perea.
County Surveyor--Geo. H. Pradt
County Observation-Disclosures Chayes
Probate Judge-Melquia T. Otero
Probate Clerk-Maximilian Luna.
County Commissioners 1st district,
Desiderio Sandoval; I'd district, Carlos
Baca; Sd district Manuel Sanchez San
chez.
POLITICAL WAITS.
Mr.. Joseph failed to pour oil on the
troubled waters at Las Vegas last night
and this morning he left for Springer
where he speaks tonight.
The San Juan county Democrats met on
Saturday to nominate county ticket and
the Republicans of that county met for a
similar purpose yesterday.
The Peoples party procession of two
years ago had over 1000 in its ranks.
To-day it had $50. Several delegates
who came in to attend have backed out.
LAS Vegas Free Press.
The Republican committee of the terri
tory should engage Gov. Hadley to make
several speeches. He is one of the best
political speakers in New Mexico, being a
pleasant, easy talker, using argument in
stead of utilization, and holding the
closest attention from his hearers
Springer Stockman.
A very interesting opinion by Solicitor
General Bartlett touching the right to
vote of those who claim exemption from
poll tax on account of age and infrmi-
ties, is unavoidably left over and will ap-
pear next week. It's substance is that
exempts from the poll tax are also ex-
empt from voting and can not legally do
so.-San Juan Index.
Joseph Valdez, elected coroner of San
Miguel at the last election on the Peoples
ticket, but now actively supporting the
Republican party, when asked his impress
sion of the convention, summed it up
tersely: A big crowd and few votes,
more than third of the men who walked
to-day in Joseph's procession will vote
the Republican ticket on election day.
Mortimer A. Downing, representing the
New MEXICAN, is here to-day to write up
the convention for his paper. He has
been around the territory good deal and
reports the prospects of Mr.. Catron's
election as very good. In Santa Fe coun-
ty he claims 400 majority for Catron and
says that the Democrats will not bet on
the county at ATLAS Vegas Free Press.
There has certainly been political
volcanic upheaval down in San Miguel
county, for we notice that Chris Selman,
the heretofore uncompromising Dem
ocrat is working with the Republicans.
Chris has heretofore been so rock-rooted,
iron-bound and copper-riveted to the
Democratic faith that he would not eat at
the table of Republican even when pie
was to be served. But he appears to have
got out of the wilderness and found his
proper place among the progressive men
of his city. And as Chris is worker we
look for success with his assistance. Oh,
they're coming to us from every quarter.
