POLITICAL POINTERS
Some Of the Candidates Who Are
Willing to Be Delegates to
Congress.
DEMOCRATS In A QUANDARY
Major W. H. H. Llewellyn Declines En-
phatically to Be Candidate for Con-
gress-A. B. Fall Anxious to Be
Nominated by Democrats.


will hold a convention at Roswell the
18th of September next for the purpose
of electing two delegates to the Repub-
lican territorial convention to be held
at Santa Fe October 3, and also to place
in the field Republican county ticket.
The New Mexicans information is that
a straight Republican ticket will be
nominated and strong fight will be
made. 1t is believed that the immlgra-
ton into Chaves county for the past
two years has been principally Repub-
lican, and that county will make a good
showing in casting Republican votes at
the coming election.
ExGov. l.. Bradford Prince has re-
ceived an invitation from the Repub-
lican club at Colorado Springs, one of
the largest, if not the largest and most
influential clubs in Colorado, to deliver
an address on Republican policy and
the campaign before the club. Howev-
er, the ex-governor will. from all ap-
pearances, be unable to accept the in
vitation, as press of business will
keep him in the territory, and as he
expects to do work for the success Of
the Republican ticket in New Mexico.
Judge A. L. Morrison, of this city,
will very likely make some speeches
during the present campaign in Ohio.
He has received some very compli-
mentary letters from Henry C. Hedges,
chairman of the speakers bureau of
the Republican national committee, in
viting him to do so, and he thinks of
applying for leave of absence to go to
Ohio to work for Republican success.
Judge Morrison is we'll known as very
plOQllaDt and fprpib1a Snna ker
AS time rolls on it is becoming quite
apparent that Capt. A. b. Fall will
make a fight for the Democratic NOM
ination for delegate to congress.
Whether he will succeed or not is prob
lematcal. 1t still looks as if central
and northern New Mexico will be
against him, and will support either ex-
Delegate Joseph or ex-Delegate Fer
guson for the nomination. To be sure,
New Mexico politics is very uncertain,
and there is no telling what the next
four weeks will bring forth. AS far as
the Republicans are concerned, they
seem to be viewing the situation with a
good deal of equanimity, and do not
seem to care very much who will be the
Democratic nominee.
On the Republican side one of those
mentioned as a probable candidate for
congress has addressed a letter to the
New Mexican to the effect that he is
not and will not be such candidate.
This is Maj. w. H. H. Llewellyn, Of
Las Cruces. He has said so unequivo-
cally, and further Informed the New
Mexican that he would be candidate
for the Republican nomination for the
house in the thirty-fourth legislative
from the district composed Of
Dona Ana and Otero counties. Judge
John r. McFie, of this district, whose
name has also been mentioned as a
candidate, has not yet returned from
the G. A. r. encampment at Chicago.
1t is not believed, however, that he will
allow his name to be used in connec-
tion with the nomination on the Re-
publican ticket for delegate. Some
friends of Col. r. E. Twitchell have ad-
vanced his name for that honor AS far
as Colonel Twitchell himself is con-
cerned it is not believed that he enter
tains such ambition seriously. Col. ].
Frank Chaves, of Valencia county, who
is an ex-delegate to congress, has been
several times a member of the upper
branch of the New Mexico Legislature,
and for half a dozen times as presi-
dent thereof does not consider himself
a candidate, although some of his
friends have been kind enough to bring
his name before the public.
