county, is travelling through Taos, Mo.
ia and Rio Arriba counties in the in

zola for delegate to congress on the
Democratic ticket. There is no good
reason why the delegations from those
counties should not be for Larrazola.
This candidate believes that the early
bird catches the worm, and he may be
right in this case.
1t is reported that ex-Justices Of the
Territorial Supreme Court w. D. Lee,
of Albuquerque, and A. A. Freeman, of
Carlsbad are also candidates for the
appointment to fill the vacancy occa-
stoned by the resignation of Judge
Charles A. Leland, of the fifth judicial
district. There is no doubt that # the
Republicans of the territory will unite
on one candidate and recommend him
that a citizen of the territory will be
appointed. Should they not unite, it Is
very possible that citizen of one of
the states may receive the appoint
ment Here is hint to the New Mexi-
cans Republican friends.
The political situation in Santa Fe
county for the Republicans Is brighten
ing and that daily. 1t Is very encourag-
ing to the party, and it now looks as If,
with god tickat, Santa Fe county
will be carried by the Republicans by a
very handsome majority. OF course,
there are many candidates for several
important offices, but as it looks as If
wise and prudent councils will obtain
and govern, victory seems certain. The
county has enjoyed clean, good, hon
est and fair county government since
the Democratic gang under Cunning
ham was swiped off the political arena,
and the voters know this. Good nomi-
nations, of course, are absolutely neces-
sary for success.
Hon. Frank A. Manzanares, OF Las
Vegas, has absolutely declined to allow
his name to be considered for the DEM
ocratic nomination for delegate to con-
gress. Mr.. Manzanares has a very level
head upon him. He knows too much
to accept any such nomination, and is
too sensible to seek bubble ambition
at the hands of the New Mexico De-
mocracy. He knows the temper of the
people of the territory thoroughly, and
will not risk the great chances If de-
feat in the coming election that stare
New Mexico's Pop. Democracy in the
face.
1t is expected that the Republicans
will carry Dona Ana county by such a
majority that a nomination is practi
cally equal to an election. The New
Mexican hopes that this report will
prove true, but at the same time 1t Is
but good politics to nominate a ticket
composed of strong men and supported
loyalty Among the candidates for
sheriff are mentioned Jose Lucero, who
is very strong man; Ben Williams,
who Is at present deputy under sher-
iff Garrett, and Florencio Luna. For
assessor, Capt. Thomas Brannigan, who
has made most excellent Official, is
and it is said George Lynch
will also be candidate. Maj. w. H. H.
Llewellyn, who has twice served In the
lower house of the legislature 10 the
fullest satisfaction of its constituents
and Of the people, and who has a most
enviable record as captain of the
rough riders during the Cuban war,
will very likely be renominated for the
house from Dona Ana and Otero coun-
ties, and will be elected. There can be
no question but that the southern part
of the territory will push him for
speaker. a position which he has once
filled with great ability and much
credit.
At the last Democratic convention in
albuquerque to send delegates to the
Kansas City convention, Lorion Miller,
ex-secretary Of the territory, was
candidate for delegateship. 1t must
be remembered that Miller, as such sec
retary, had done much service for his
party. indeed once carrying the legis-
lative assembly and making it Demo-
cratic when an absolute Republican ma
jority had been honestly elected. But
these services were forgotten, and Mil
Ter was turned down for Macario
Gallegos and Ezequiel c. de Baca both
Of these men were sent as delegates.
Naturally, the friends Of Miller, who
are also the friends of Judge Fall, were
somewhat hot under the collar. At the
recent gathering Of the Democratic CEN
trail committee in Santa Fe the friends
of Judge Fall and Mr.. Miller We're
again sat down upon. They wanted the
