The Republicans of the county of Va
lencia have called their convention fol
the purpose of elect1ng nine delegates
to the Republican territorial conven-
ton, which meets in Santa Fe October
to nominate candidate for delegate
to congress- on September 26. The con-
vention will consist of Sixty-eight dele
gates, and will meet at the county seat
Los Lunas.
From the south comes the report that
the friends Of Judge McFie, presiding
Judge of this district, are of the opinion
that he would make a strong race for
delegate to congress on the Republican
ticket, and would like to see him run
The judge is out of the territory at
present, and the New Mexican is not
free to speak for him, but his friends
here say that he would not allow his
name to go before the Republican ter
ritorial convention.
Mr.. 0. A. Larrazola, of Las Vegas, is
known among his intimates as the
Emilio CASTELAR," of New Mexico.
Messrs. Antonio Lucero and Ezequiel C.
de Baca believe that he is the logical
candidate of the Democratic party.
Maybe they are correct in their views.
The support which Mr. Larrazola is re-
ceiving from the Las Vegas daily, how
ever, is forced and unnatural. The own
ers of that paper never were friendly to
him or his ideas. The Las Vegas daily
has no fixed policies, and would turn
Mr.. LarraZola down whenever it is to
the interest of the paper so to do.
Mr.. Larrazola Is q good talker, and
would probably get the full party vote
in his own and the adjoining counties.
What that vote Is is not problematical
Mr.. Larrazola, at the late school elec-
ton in his precinct in Las Vegas, was
defeated by very large majority and
on the other side Of the Gallinas he
would be beaten If nominated for dele
gate by not less than $50 votes, and
possibly more. Neither Mr.. Larrazola
nor any other man running on the
Democratic ticket can carry San Mi
guel, Mora or Colfax counties this year.
1T can be put down as safe that Guada-
lupe San Miguel Union, Mora and Col
fax will give a Republican majority of
not less than 1000.
From Socorro county the New Mexi-
can receives advices that the Demo.
Gratis have no organization, and if a
good ticket Is put up by the Republic
ans the county will give a large Repub-
lcan majority, which may reach 100 or
more for some of the candidates. So
corro county is a peculiar county, and
veers around politically good deal, but
this, it seems, will again be Republic
an year in that county. The people have
enjoyed a good county government;
they are satisfied with the clean ad-
ministration Of territorial affairs, are
prosperous, and see no reason whatso-
ever for change. At the same time
the New Mexican Is Of the opinion that
the Republicans of Socorro county
should not take anything for granted.
Eternal vigilance, loyal work, an ener-
getie campaign and good ticket are
always needed in New Mexico politics.
The Republicans of Eddy county are
the first in the territory to put county
ticket in the field. This consists Of the
following candidates: Collector and
treasurer ]. F. Matheson; county SUI
perintendent, A. N. Pratt; commission
ers, L. N. Hoag, j. H. James, Peter
Corn; sheriff, T. A. Gray; assessor NJ
j. Murray; probate clerk, w. R. Owen;
probate Judge, Ananias Greene; survey
or b. A. Nymeyer. Only part of the
ticket is Republican, because it was
deemed best for party success at the
polls to indorse part of the Democratic
ticket.
At the same convention two delegates
to the Republican territorial conven-
ton at Santa Fe, October 8, were elect
ed. They are Dr.'C. H. Wright and
Judge A. A. Freeman. and 1t Is believed
both will attend. The convention passed
strong resolutions indorsing both the
national and territorial administration
and was an enthusiastic and harmo-
nious gathering. The New Mexican's in
formation from Eddy county is to the
effect that the largest vote for delegate
and the Republican ticket ever received
will be cast this year in that county
The Republicans are harmonious and
united, and placed strong ticket COM

pose to make an active and aggressive
campaign. The chairman of the county
