The Socorro Chieftain says:
Thursday evening at the appointed
hour nearly 40 enthusiastic republic
ans of precinct No. 1 gathered in the
court room of the court house in this
city to select ten delegates to the
county convention. There were many
democrats present to watch the pro-
ceedings and acquire what advantage
they might from a knowledge thereof.
THE primary was called to order by
Estevan Baca, chairman of the county
central committee. in a brief but APP
propriate address which was interpret
ed by Nestor p. Eaton with his usual
skill.
M. Cooney and S. Alexander were
placed in nomination for permanent
chairman and Mayor Cooney was elect
ed. A. A. Sedillo was chosen secretary
and Nestor p. Eaton interpreter.
"On the from the
chair that the election of delegates to
the county convention was in order.
Sheriff Blackington moved that the
names of all the ten delegates be
placed in nomination at once and the
motion was promptly seconded. Pro
bate Judge Jose e. Torres then moved
as an amendment that the names of
the delegates be voted upon one at a
time. These two motions developed
the strength of certain rival political
interests. During the determination
of the name of voting and during the
counting itself it looked for a time as
though there might be a rough house.
Hot words and other demonstrations
were in the air, but order was finally
restored and the count showed that
the amendment was lost by a vote of
II to 65. A pandemonium of cheering
reigned for a few minutes and ended
by the carrying of the original motion
by reclamation.
Sheriff Blackington next presented
the names of his ten delegates as fol-
lows: Camilo Baca, David Baca, c. F.
Blackington, Alexandra Sanchez, Henry
Dreylus, Abel Trujillo, T. j. Matthews.
Francisco Padilla y Sanchez. Santos
Chavez, and e. Baldonado. Abran
Abeyta then presented the names of
ten for delegates as follows: Estevan
Baca, A. c. Abeyta, Abran Abeyta, Jose
E. Torres, S. Alexander, Antonio Sc
dillo. NJ. Cooney, H. G. Baca, Ricardo
Abeyta and c. Cortinas. The count
showed the election of the Blackington
delegates by a vote of II to 81.

home or elsewhere in an apparently
good humor. The delegates from pre-
cinct No. l may be relied upon to be
on the right side In the convention and
the republicans of the precinct itself
may be relied upon to do their full
duty on election day"
d. X. b. Sellers. of the Farmintogn
Hustler, is making the politicians of
San Juan county understand that he
objects to certain matters.
The first political nominating con-
yention of Luna county was held by
the republicans at Deming last Satur-
day. Candidates and delegates were
named.
Ane Gales faction of the repub-
lican party, down in Sierra county, is
fighting the Andrews faction to a dead
standstill, and there seems to be no
chance of harmony between the two
factions.
Secundino Romero, the excellent dis
trict clerk at Las Vegas. scores the
Optic for falsely reporting his remarks
at a republican meeting. The political
situation at Las Vegas is becoming
somewhat warm.
The democrats are counting on car
rying Sierra county with a majority
this fall. Their primaries will be held
October 4, Hhen delegates will be
chosen 10 the Albuquerque convention
winch convones here on October 10.
The Mckinley county convention was
held at GailIp the other day, and the
following delegates to the republican
convention at Ration was selected:
Alex. Bowie, Steve C~aHayan. Gregory
Page. The convention passed resolu-
lions ~fayoring Rodey for delegate to
congress.
The Citizen was in error the other
day in stating that J. b.. Jones, Of vii,
liams, had been nominated by the
democrats for the Office of Coconino
county, Ariz. The returns from the
primaries give the nomination for the
Office to James Johnson. the present
incumbent.
The Las Vegas Record says: out
side Of Germany, the socialists have
made greater gains in Albuquerque
during the past two years, than in any
other city within the bounds of civiliza
ton. And the Albuquerque gain is not
an unmlxed evil, because the recruits
came from the democratic party. Ii

party, in numerical strength"
