MORA COUNTY CONDITIONS.
Hon. Marcelino Martinez Says Mora County
is Prosperous and That It Will Give
Over 500 Republican Majority
Next November.

Hon. Marcelino Martinez OF Wagon
Mound, in Mora county, ex-member of
the 3snd legislative assembly, where he
made a good record as a careful and con
scientious member, now a prosperous
sheep raiser, was in the city Yesterday
on legal business. To a representative
of the NEW MEXICAN Mr.. Martinez
stated, that last years crops in Mora
county had been grand, that sheep men
and cattle owners were doing very well;
that people were happy and satisfied.
The stock interests were In first class
condition, although the ranges are q lit
tie dry and some rain was needed. Po-
litically, Mr.. Martinez said, that the So
called Union party movement had made
no Roadway In Mora county, and that
the Republicans, in his opinion. with
good nominations, would carry the
county next November by from 400 to
500 majority. The present Republican
county government was giving satisfac-
ton and was doing we'll. He believed
that either Mr.. Solomon Luna or Mr..
Pedro Perea would make a strong candi-
date for delegate to congress and either
would poll a large vote there and carry
the county by q handsome majority. He
thought they were about equally strong
before the people in his county. 1t IS
possible that MI. Martinez will be re-
nominated as a candidate for member of
the house, to which Office he was elected
last campaign by 16O majority. Should
he be renominated, he will be elected by
at least double the majority he received
in November, 1896.
