Political Straws Which Show the
Drift Of the Peoples Ballots
Three Weeks Hence.

AS You are aware there ls strip of
ground of one township wide on the
north end of Eddy county which has not
yet legally been determined to belong
properly to TINT county or to Lincoln
An election was made to a grand Juror
in the Barrett case lately pending in the
supreme court that he was not com petent
to act in Eddy, being resident of Lin
coin county. l understand that there are
about sixty voters on this strip and l
have had an inquiry from the chairman
of the Democratic executive committee
of Eddy county with reference to this
m after, to which I replied that could
give no opinion as matter of law but
that on grounds of public policy and to
save friction and perhaps violation of
law and contest that his committee
should agree with the Republican central
committee and the county commissioners
as to which county the votes cast in this
strip should be credited to. A similar
state of facts exist in the north end of
| Bernalillo county in the precincts of
Nacimiento, La lara and Gonzalitos; and
l have written in a similar way to our
committee of Bernalillo county urging
them to agree that the votes cast in these
precincts shall be counted in either one
county or the other. OF course these
agreements if made would only effect the
county ticket and l now propose that
your committee and this committee agree
in similar manner upon how the vote
in these precincts shall be counted for
delegate, as presume neither of Us wants
a contest or any room for dispute at the
coming election"
In response Chairman Crist has sent
| letter saying:
"Replying to yours of October 10,
have to advise you that agree with you
entirely that it would be best for the com
mittees of the respective parties of Eddy
county to agree with the county commits
sioners as to which county the votes cast
in the undetermined strip or township,
should be credited to. will advise the
mocratic central committee of Eddy
county to pursue this course.
