Larrazolo's majority, l.1OO.
Conservative Democrats, however, say
that the vote will be a close one and
acknowledge that Mr.. Rodey will prob
ably have 500 to COZ majority in the
territory.
From Taos county the reports received
by the New Mexican are conflicting
The Democrats seem to have made gains
there and may do better than expected.
The Republicans however are putting
up sharp fight and hope to win. The
race question has been started up in full
blast in that county and some Demo-
cratic Doodle has been sent into it for
use with the doubtful voters. 1t is also
reported that there is some treachery
and underhand work by few treach
erous and selfseeking men who have
received many favors from the Repubi-
can party but who are still dissatisfied.
How true these reports are can only be
determined on election day and by the
result of the returns.
From Mora county reports are very
encouraging for the Republicans, and it
looks as if they would carry the county,
especially on the legislative ticket.
Juan Navarro Is popular and respected
citizen and is the Republican candidate
for the council. Cristoba Sanchez,
who is running for the house, is also
popular and well and favorably known
all over the county. If Navarro car
ries Mora and Colfax county does one
half as well for the Republican ticket
as is expected, Mr.. Navarro will be
surely elected.
A prominent citizen of Albuquerque
who visited Santa Fe this week informed
New Mexican reporter that he would
not at all be surprised if Bernalilo
county should give Rodey 1000 major
ity Indeed, there is every reason to
believe that it will. Should this be so,
Rodey can afford to lose some votes in
some of the counties where the race is
sue is being used against him and where
the Democratic campaign managers and
speakers are urging the voters to vote
for Larrazolo because he is a Mexican,
born in Chihuahua.
From Socorro county also come re-
ports from reliable sources, that the
race question is being worked for all it
is worth. Slush money is also being
used by the Democratic campaign man.
ayers and they seem to have lots of it.
The Republicans, nevertheless, are very
hopeful of electing their entire legisla-
tive and county ticket and of giving
Bernard S. Rodey a majority OF 300
and up.
San Miguel county will 60 Republican,
and at very moderate estimate will
give Rodey from 500 majority up. The
county ticket will be elected, and so will
the Republican legislative ticket, al
though there is some bitter fight against
it. The race issue is also being
used by the Larrazolo shouters there,
but it is believed will not hurt to any
great extent. The entire Republican
ticket seems safe.
Alexander Reed of Rio Arriba county,
who is the Republican candidate for
sheriff of that county, was in the city
yesterday and reports everything in
very good shape for the Republican
ticket in that county and that it will
receive good round majority all around
and will be elected from top to bottom.
This Is as it should be.
In Dona Ana county the Democrats
are also raising the race issue and have
money to spend for the election of the
Independent Democratic ticket. Vot-
ers are being asked to vote for LARA
zolo because he was born in Chihuahua.
The Republicans, however, are making
good and strong fight and hope to
give majority for Rodey from $50 up
and to elect their whole ticket by nice
majorities.
