Politics are warming UP the staid cit
liens of the capital.
The board of registration in precinct
No. II reports a registration of 225 Not-
ers 50 far. The board has adjourned
until Saturday next.
Friends of ex-Representative Benja-
min NJ. Read are mentioning his name
in connection with the Republican NOM
nation for the council.
The street has it that ex-Territorial
Treasurer Antonio Ortiz y Salazar is a
candidate for the Republican nominal
ton for collector and treasurer Of this
county.
1t is reported that j. E. Lacome has
not given up the fight for the Republic
an nomination for sheriff, but on the
for votes.
The present probate clerk, Atanasio
Romero, is in the field for renomina-
ton. He is little, but he is a right good
worker, and knows a thing or two po-
litically. He will be heard from.
The present assessor, Telesforo Ri
vera, is a candidate for denomination.
He has performed his duties quietly
and honestly, and if renominated would
make a strong race and be elected.

chairman of the Republican county CEN
trail committee, will fix the date of hold

have lots of Doodle to turn loose this

the doubtful voter, and there are just a
few of him within the limits of this city,

David M. White will contest the NOM
nation for member of the legislative
council with any one, he says, be that
II. b. Catron or my one else. Faint
heart ne'er won fair lady, so believes
David, and he will try his luck.
Ambrosio Ortiz makes no bones about
being a candidate for the Republican
nomination for county clerk, and is
working hard to secure the nomination,
He thinks he will succeed. If nominal

good, indeed.

publican nomination for county com
missioner of the first district.
A good many citizens, and especially
many Republicans. are of the opinion
that Maj. Fred Muller, who has served
very acceptably as county collector and
treasurer. should be renominated.
1t is said that fair primaries will be
demanded by the Republican voters; il
these be not had in this city, there car
be no question but what the party in
~terests will suffer, and the men respon-
sible for unfair and rowdy methods al
the primaries will b. brought to ac-
count on election day n otherwise
This seems to be the sentiment of many
Republicans.
A story is being circulated that the
Republican primaries may be held on
the 18th. Saturday next, and the Re-
publican county convention on the 18th
This cannot we'll prove true, as no meet
ing of the county committee has as yet
been called, and as any high-handed
proceeding would react on election day.
1t is said that at the recent meetings
held in various law offices in the city,
M. Ambrosio Ortiz was offered the
