the territorial convention of that part,
to be held in Santa Fe October 4th, ha
been called to meet at Taos on Septembe
22nd, 1900. 1t is said that the Democrat
in that county are pretty well organized
and expect to make very good show
ing for their party at the coming elec
tion. If this be so, the Republicans O
that county would do well to get nov
on.
For the Republican nomination TO-
the council from Mora, Colfax and Uniol
counties the names of Marion Littrel
of Colfax county, and Juan Navarro, o
Mora county, are mentioned. Both arr
very good men. The council nomina
tion two years ago belonged to Cola,
county, but the Republicans of th'
county waived their right to it and J
r. Aguilar, of Mora county, was nomi
mated for the Office. This year the Re
publican nomination should 60 to Mors
county. 1t is believed, however, tina
there may be an arrangement; SHOULD

which Mora county will surrender it
right and give it to Colfax county Their

that the nomination OF the second coun

Captain w. G. Reed. of East Las We

nomination for the council. Captain
Reed is bright young man, a lawyer
and very much respected by all wht
know him. 1t looks as If he would max,

strong ticket, and that they will win ii
the county by over 1000 majority.
The Democratic county convention o
Bernalillo county will be held in the cit,
of Albuquerque on the 22nd of Septem
ber, for the purpose of electing 2l dele
gates to the Democratic territorial con
vention which meets in Santa Fe October
4th. Present indications are that Hon

Hon. Solomon Luna will not be nomi

will shy his glove into the ring and will
make fight for the nomination. Th'

disaffected Republicans, may be put up
1t is said so far that the arrangement
has not been concluded, as there is {
hitch in the division of candidates. The
Democrats are to have, so report says

The Republican territorial 'centra
committee has been called to meet ir
Santa Fe on October next, the day be
fore the holding of the Republican ter
ritorial convention. This is evidently
done for the purpose of consultation
and is q wise move. 1t is always gooe
party policy to talk matters over il

course Of action in conventions ant
political campaigns.
The Democratic territorial centra
committee has also been called to NEE
in Santa Fe on October 8, one day be

that the officials of that committee ar
actuated by the same purposes as th
Republican, viz: Consultation and deter
mination of the conduct of the cam

convention. Farther, it is understood
that the question Of statehood will b
considered by both committees and /
may be that both will unite upon
course OF action in that respect. Their

Statehood could be had at the comm

Republicans are in favor of anything
that will bring speedy statehood. Wha
