Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1900-11-03

Reports from both Republican and
Democratic sources are agreed that the
Republicans will make a better show
ing in Grant county than they have
since 1899. 1t would not be surprising
to see the county give majority for
Rodey
News from Otero county is that B. S.
| Rodey and the Republican legislative
ticket will receive a majority and part
of the Republican county ticket will al
so be elected. The situation seems to
be considerably mixed, but the above
seems to be reliable.
In Union county, the Larrazolo
boomers have also raised the race issue
and are working the voters to vote for
Larrazolo, although not the proper man
for the Office of delegate to congress,
because his name is Octaviano A. LARA
zoo. The Republicans however have a
very strong ticket and may overcome
the race issue and the fact of Demo-
cratic Doodle being spent. For the good
of the territory it is to be hoped so.
ColIax county from all accounts will
go Republican this year of Our Lord and
give Rodey majority estimated all the
way from 200 to 400. There has been
decided change in political sentiment
there and the new immigration is Re-
publican. 1t is reported that the new
comers will poll between 600 and 700
votes. The Republican ticket is strong
and Mr. Rodey made a very good i'm
preston there.
Valencia county, judging from reports
from reliable correspondents, will give
a good old fashioned majority of from
POO to 1,400 for Rodey. In the western
part of the county especially he is very
popular and the race issue cuts no ice in
that county. A vast majority of the vo-
ters are Republicans for principles's
sake, and are too intelligent to care for
the birthplace of man, and certainly
will not vote for Larrazolo simply be-
cause he happened to be born in Chi
huahua and speaks Spanish.
The latest from Lincoln county is that
the Republicans will carry the county
for Rodey by from 100 majority up. He
was very well received in that county
and the people were very much pleased
with him, while LarraZolo made a very
poor impression. The race issue will
also not count for much in this county,
although the Democratic speakers are
making a strong point Of it. The peo-
pie of Lincoln county will take no stock
in such clap-trap.
Chaves and Eddy counties are set
down as Democratic by a majority of
from 400 to 500 together. Mr.. Rodey
may have more votes in those counties
quite an immigration and it is believed
that part of this is Republican. The
counties, however, can be put down for
the Democratic candidate no matter
what his name, by from 400 majority
up. There are a good many hide-bound
mossbacks in those counties who would
vote for any one and anything so long
as it was on the Democratic ticket.
Sierra county, which two years ago
gave Mr. Ferguson a majority of ITS
out of total vote of S12, is expected
this time to go Democratic by a de-
creased majority. If Mr.. Larrazolo
comes out of that county with a ma
jority of 100, it is believed he will be do
ing very we'll. In the native precincts
Of the county the Larrazolo boomers
are also raising the race issue, but it is
not believed that it will be successful to
any extent. Still the New Mexican puts
the county down as Democratic, al
though there are some who think that
1t may not be so on election day.
The latest from San Juan county is to
the effect, that the Republican fusion
ticket is making gains and that LARA
zolo and the Democratic ticket is
is losing ground. The New Mexicans
correspondent writes he would be sur
prised should Larrazolo come out of the
county with $50 majority. He also
says he is of the opinion that the Re-
publican legislative ticket will carry
and that the Republican fusion ticket,
consisting of Republicans and straight
Democrats, will be elected.
