Mr.. Baca is here to consult the officials
relative to the grossest frauds which char
| acterized the election in Union county.
He has affidayits showing twenty fraud
ulent votes. In precinct - five sheep
herders who came from Mexico only
three weeks ago we're voted by the Re
publicans; others who voted were resi-
cents of San Miguel county and others
were boys not over 1G years of age. Also
iii precinct u affidavits show that the
election judges went to other precincts
and worked al forenoon and did not open
the polls until 30 p. m. In this precinct
also sixty-four votes were poled when
only sixty were registered. The matter
will be brought before Judge Smith at
Las Vegas tomorrow.
ELECTION BITS.
The Chama Northwest feels greatly out
ragged over the fact that "Chama gave one
majority for Joseph
A Republican view of the outlook for
New Mexico: "With Steve Elkins in the
senate and Tom Catron in the house
New Mexico's interests will never suffer-"
The sporting editor Of the Albuquerque
Democrat is authority for the statement
that "bets on Joseph and Catron will be
settled as soon as the secretary of the ter
ritory issues a certificate of election to
one or the other of the two candidates."
Mr.. George W. Knaebel returned last
night from business trip to Taos. The
official vote in Taos was completed yes
terday, resulting in majority of 67 for
Mr.. Joseph, and from 20 to 80 majority
for each of the other candidates on the
Democratic county ticket.
The delegate vote in San Juan county
shows that the Populist vote is drawn
largely from the newcomers, as Joseph's
vote Is only 25 less than two years ago
and Catron's 2S less. Joseph's majority
over Catron is 60, about the same as two
years ago.
Official returns in San Miguel county
show Bunker and Desmarais. Democrats
elected to the council by $50 majority.
yet the county board last evening refused
to issue certificate to the latter and gave
it to NJ. Salazar, Republican,. An in-
junction was promptly taken out before
Judge Smith.
Mr.. W. E. Martin, of Socorro, Republi-
can candidate for the lower house, who
carried Socorro and Sierra counties by
1000 ma jority, was in the city yesterday
renewing old acquaintanc s. Mr.. Martin
is a fluent talker well versed in the rou-
tine of legislative work, and he will make
his mark IN the assembly this winter. He
feels confident that the final returns from
Socorro county will give Mr.. GALES, for
the council, majority over Mr.. Hope
well.
The increased vote throughout the
county is gratifying proof of the rapid
growth of our population. Two years
age the entire vote of the county amount |
ed to 439. This year it is 627, showing
an increase of nearly As per cent. This
increase is almost wholly in the American
precincts, Largo being the only precinct
voting less than two years ago, Farming
ton showing an increase of 80 per cent,
Aztec 66 per cent, while others range
down to 25 per cent.-San Juan Times.
