 The political campaign in Co2onino county was of unusual interest and contained many surprises for its vot- CTS. Tn some instances it was consid- cred a general upheaval. In certain instances those candidates on either ticket who were considered surs win ners were defeated by the greatest ma jOrities. For instance. the democratic nominee for the council, Mir Bunch. who was elected two years ago was de- feated by Riordan by an overyhelmine majority The poll tax law, champion ed by Bunch in line last legislature had much to do wfth his defeat This law was objectionable to the voters. MT. RiorGln Pledges himself to do all in h.s power to repeal this law. Ferd Nellis. who has hitherto been successful in ev- cry political campaign, and at one time rcjresv nted us in ltlhe council and se- cured for this county the public build ing at Flagstaff. was defeated by Jas. Walsh for the asss mby. This was doubtless due to the combined efforts of the sheepmen. With three excep- tions the entire democratic ticket won out. The campaign was exceptionally one of good feeling. and hard work was done by bi-th parties. It was with much surprise that Gov. Murphy did not receive a larger majority in the county for delegate to congress. Both democrats and republicans who can vassed the county feel that there has been considerable change in the polft- ical complexion during the past two wars. This county, which was con sidered safely republican cannot be so considered today. The floating pop ulation which is employed by the large saw mills and lumber camps causes this county to be at least doubtful. Again, there is a large Mexican vote, which is hard to class either as repub- lican or democratic. It is generally considered republican, but the last e!ct,.nn p;dinly shows that a certain leader directs the political fab.h of the rank and file. Ths registration law, too. is a factor to be considered, since each party works day and night to reg ister those who will vote the right way"
