The kocorro Election.

The city election in Socorro seems to
have been mixed affair. The regular
Republican ticket was headed by Elfgo
Baca, and the Citizen's ticket, headed BY
A. E. Howell, was composed Of Republi.
cans and Democrats. There was only one
American on the Baca ticket, and ap-
parently the race question was involved.
Many Republicans worked against the
Baca ticket, and Sheriff Bursom arrested
Baca himself at the polls on the indict-
ment for shooting at William Martin.
Baca protested, but the sheriff took him
in. Baca was defeated, although the
larger part Of his ticket was elected.
There is fine row among the Republi-
cans.-Albuquerque Democrat.

yited to remain as honored guests of the
conference and that their expenses be

DR.. Cranston asked for a ruling by the
chair as to the present statns of women
in the conference.
Bishop Hurst decided that it was a
matter of Interpretation for the body
and ruled that DR.. Neely had the floor.
just after DR.. Nicely began speaking,
DR.. Fryssiuger, Of Pennsylvania, up
pealed from the decision Of the chair.
Bishop Hurst put the question as to its
being on the appeal of DR.. Cranston and
great confusion existed. A motion to
lay the entire matter on the table was
lost by vote of 2l8 to 1C8.
DR.. Kynett raised the point of order

Bishop Hurst held that DR.. Nicely held
the floor.
DR.. Kynett appealed.
The chairs refusal to put the appeal
drowned the bishops voice.
DR.. Frasier said that, if not given the
right to appeal, he would resign.
DR.. Neely said he desired to withdraw
his paper.
Bishop Hurst would not permit this
and the din continued.
Finally, forced by the conference,
Bishop Hurst said that he ruled that both
papers were before the house and he would
entertain the appeal.
Mr.. Sharp asked to withdraw his reso-
luton, but was not permitted to do so.
In the midst of intense excitement a
