The Democratic territorial central com.
mittee met this afternoon at o'clock
with Chairman Charles F. Easley In the

ritorial convention to select six dele
gates to represent New Mexico in the
Democratic national convention at
Kansas City, and April IL was the day
fixed for the meeting of the territorial
convention.
An effort was made to secure the con-
vention for Ration, but the announce
ment made by Mr.. Ferguson that Hon.
w. ]. Bryan would arrive in Albuquer-
que on the night Of the 18th from the
coast, and would speak In that city on
the following day, quickly settled the
matter, as above stated. The vote stood
II for Albuquerque and 6 for Ration.
The committee fixed the representa-
ton at the convention as follows: One
delegate for every 100 votes cast for H.
B. FERGUSON, Democratic candidate for

and one delegate for each fraction of
fifty votes or over SO cast.
