Political POINTERS.

| Among those talked of as Republican
| from Taos county for the district com
posed of Taos, Rio Arriba and Sar
Juan are Malaquias Martinez of Taos
who has been twice d member of the
house and twice member of the coun
ell, and William Fraser of the Fraser
Mountain Copper Company, at Twin
| ing.
The situation in Bernalillo county, az
far as the nomination Of a candidate
for the Legislative council district com
posed of Bernalillo and Mckinley
counties is concerned, looks decidedly 9
Thomas Hughes color. If the expecta.
ton is realized Mr.. Hughes will be q
member of the assembly for the fifth
term. 1t is reported that DR.. G.. w
Harrison of Albuquerque, who was
Mr.. Hughes colleague on the 1901 ses-
sion, will also occupy that position in
the 35th assembly.
Edward Hat n, Il we'll known citi-
zen of northern Taos county and who
has brought much capital to that sec
ton for mining and irrigation enter
prises is mentioned as a candidate for
representative on the Republican ticket
from Taos county. Don Pedro Sanchez
is also being pushed by mis- friends for
the same nomination. All the present
Republican county officials of Taos will
ask for denomination. Fred Myers, Jr.,
of Costilla, will likely be a candidate
for the nomination OF commissioner
from the I'd district. He is half
brother of Commissioner Beall who is
now representing the district on the
county board. The Democrats of the
county have made no stir as yet and
the date of their convention has not
been fixed. 1t is said that Herbert
Pooler will be candidate for sheriff
on the Democratic ticket. With good
ticket and harmony in Republican
ranks, Taos county will give a satis-
factory Republican majority.
