Candidates for Office Who Are Talked Of
Many Good Men Mentioned.
Nicanor Baca, clerk of the city board
of education, it is said desires the Demo-
cratic nomination for county clerk.
He would not stand much show for cleo
ton against either Atanasio Romero or
Ambrosio Ortiz. Should he run he will
be defeated.
The friends of ex-Probate Judge An
tonic j. Ortiz, of Galisteo, are talking OF
him for the Republican nomination for
county commissioner from his district,
and 1t is said that A. Frisco Garcia, OF
Santa Fe, will likely be a candidate for
probate judge.
1t is said that Hon. T. B. Catron will
accept the nomination for the council
from this county on the Republican
ticket, and Of course If he does so there
can be no question from pastindications
that he will make a strong fight and a
good race. His nomination would carry
his election alone.
Among the names mentioned for can
didates for probate clerk on the Repub-
lican ticket the New Mexican hears
those of Atanasio Romero, the present
efficient clerk, and Ambrosio Ortiz, also
of this city. Either of these gentlemen
is competent and would fill the position
creditably and satisfactorily.
For the s%hrievalty on the Republican
ticket the following are mentioned: H.
c. Kinsell, the present sheriff, who has
made a good record, ]. w. Akers and
J. E. Lacome. The fight for this posi-
tion in the Republican convention pro-
misses to be quite lively and spirited. On
the Democratic side the name of Mar
celino Garcia is the only one mentioned
so far.
1t is evidently the intention of the Re-
publican county committee in this coun-
ty to have a short campaign and not call
| the county convention for the nomina.
| tion of a county ticket until the second
week in October. This they claim viii
prove good politics. The county is no,
very large and the candidates conlo
make their campaign trips in two weeks
and do it easily and satisfactorily.
On the Democratic side the candidates
for nomination for county officers have
not yet announced themselves. On the
other hand on the Republican side fol
some of the county offices there will be
a spirited contention. 1t is universally
admitted that with a good, strong tickle
and loyal support thereof the Repub
licans will carry the county by from 40'
to 600 majority; hence the reluctance o
the Democratic Office seekers to an
nouDce themselves candidates for Office
A great many citizens, solid tax payer
and property-owners have called at tn
Office of the New Mexican and have eX
pressed themselves as remarkably wei
satisfied with the administration Of tn
office of collector and treasurer of SAINT
Fe county during the past four years b
Major Fred Muller. The New MexicaI
understands that taxpayers an
property-holders generally desire tn
denomination of Major Muller to tina
office ON the Republican ticket. Their
can be no doubt, judging from the pas
two elections and taking into conside
ration Major Muller's excellent recor
as a citizen, official and soldier, that h
J would be elected by a very large mi
jority should he be renominated. Tn
Office is a very responsible one and
large bond must be given. 1t is a yer
important Office and the Republica
party Of this county would do might
well and the right thing in heedln
public sentiment and renominatin
Major Muller for the office.
