Tickets Nominated by Both the Republican
and Democratic Parties An Abundant
Hay Harvest-Items of Per-
sonal Interest.

| White Oaks. Sept. 1.-Conventons
have been the order of the day in Lin
coin county this week. The Democrat
ic county convention was held in Lin
coin on Monday, the 10th inst, and
! nominated the following ticket: Pro-
bate judge. Jose Cordova: probate clerk,
Arnold Ridgeway; sheriff. Peter Burle-
son; treasurer Emil Fritz; assessor, T.
+. Fleming; county superintendent of
schools. John Kimball: county commits
sioners, Thomas W, Henley, NJ, Cronin
and j. W. Nations.
The Republicans assembled in conven-
tion at the same place on Tuesday and
selected their nominees as follows: Sher-
| iff, d. Perea: treasurer, r. Michaelis:
assessor, b. +. Gumm: probate Judge,
W. +, Blanchard; probate clerk, Isa-
dorn Ana'lo: counts superintendent of
schools. Y. NJ. Clute: county commits
sioners, Alfredo Gonzales. b. Clure and
Estalanch Sanchez.
The Democratic convention talked
much of the efficiency and good service
of present official incumbents, but they
all realized the eXpediency of nominate
ing an entirely new set of men and
acted accordingly with the exception
that Sheriff Fritz was nominated for
treasurer. If fraud and jobbery in the
administration of county affairs should
count for anything against the Demo-
cratic party, the Republicans will stand
a show for success at the coming cleo
ton in spite of their minority. Not long
ago conversation between some of the
brethren of the dominant party in this
s.ny ntN tna anl III
Il realization of the fact that if the Re-
publicans put a strong man in the field
for congressional delegate, the chances
for the reelection of Mr.. FERGUSON will
be uncertain. If Mr.. FERGUSON could
only succeed in getting the Whipple
Barracks boys sent home on furlough or
otherwise, said they, every soldier boy
of them would vote and work for him
and his reelection would be assured.
To note the army of hay-makers at
work throughout this section of country
one must come to the conclusion that to
make hay while the sun shines is
delightful as we'll as profitable employ
ment. 1t is more than dozen years
since the hay was so abundant and fine
in quality AS it is this season. OF course
there is a corresponding drop in price
and the best gramma hay can now be
had, delivered in White Oaks, for Ss
per ton. person connected with the
Ell Paso & Northeastern Railroad Com
pany sent word to parties here that
there would be great demand for hay
before another season as that road is to |
be steadily pushed on to White Oaks; |
so the hay is being brought in and
stored in great quantities. The atmos-
phere is filled with Its fragrance. One
cannot travel over the vast plains OF
Lincoln county, covered with the luXu.
