Two years ago Larazola carried San
Juan county over Rodey by 255 maJorl-
ty. Four years ago Ferguson carried
the county over Pedro Perea by 266
majority. This year Rodey comes
within 40 votes of carrying the county
Two years ago, j. II. Crist for coun-
ell, had a majority of over 300, and this
wear, falls to 12O. Two years ago,
Mares and Mead, candidates for the
legislature on the Democratic ticket,
carried this county over Pendleton byl
from 1876 to 1876, this year Pendleton
carries it by five votes.
The other candidates on the ticket for
the legislature two years ago, carried
this county by from 200 to 25O majority,
this year the largest majority is ll6.
The Republicans this year with
straight ticket excepting probate clerk
elected the sheriff, superintendent Oh
schools and one commissioner. They
really claim the election of the CLERK
Joseph Prewitt, an Otero Democrat.
The Republicans have made great
gains here and this county can no long
er be claimed as one of the banner
Democratic counties for it Is now ad-
mitted and conceded that straight
vote will show the Democrats cannot
carry San Juan county by more than
| 100 majority, and heretofore their ma
| iorities have ranged from 25O to 300.
It is conceded that the great gains
in San Juan county for the Republican
party in this campaign are due to the
extraordinary work and influence OF
Granville Pendleton and Charles V.
Stafford who made a special fight Tor
the delegate and legislative ticket and
although they only had a very snort
time, about one week before election,
| to organize and get in any OF their
work, had they had about two weeks
time instead of one, they would nave
carried the county for Rodey and ma
iority of the legislative ticket.
The good work Of Granville Pendls-
ton and his colleagues from Rio Arrlba
and Taos counties in the Bath legisla-
ture. have had much to do with the
radical change in San Juan county, and
with the continuation of this work an
other two years, San Juan county car
be counted as a Republican county.
A powerful factor has been the Santa
Fe New Mexican which has a large
circulation in Taos county. Its persis'
tent and able fight for Republican prln'
ciples and Republican nominees has
had much to do with bringing abou
, this remarkable change within the pas
two years.
