POLITICAL POINTERS.
The Republican county convention of
Valencia county will be held in Los
Lunas on Monday, October 6. The
convention will consist of Gi delegates
and will elect IL delegates from that
county to the Republican territorial
convention, which will meet at Ration,
October 10.
G. A. Richardson Of Roswell, will in
all likelihood be the Democratic nomi-
of the southern tier of counties of the
territory 1t may be that the nomi-
mating convention for that district will
be held at Roswell during the Pecos
Valley Fair, and not at Albuquerque
during the Democratic territorial con-
vention as at first indicated,
O. N. Marion, chairman Of the DEM
ocratic central committee, now gives it
out that the New Mexico Democrats
will not oppose statehood. either in
cares himself in favor of the nomina-
tion of ex-Delegate Fl. B. Ferguson Of
Albuquerque, as Democratic candi-
date for delegate to the 5S,h congress
Marion has come to the conclusion
that the Albuquerque tail of the Dem
ocratic central committee made
chump of itself when it announced
that the Democratic party of this ter
ritory would fight statehood.
The Republicans of Bernalillo coun-
publican territorial convention at Ra-
ton and these are instructed to vote as
unit for the denomination of Bernard
S. Rodey as the Republican candidate
to the 5Sth congress. The following del
egates were elected: e. A. Miera,
Thomas Hughes, G.. w. Harrison, e.

Baca, j. M. Sandoval, Edward Harsch,
Severe Sanchez, II. N. Wilkinson, Es-
lavio Vigil, H.,F. Lee, Nestor Montoya,
A. F. Coddington. William Mcintosh.
7. A. Carr of Deming, staunch and
solid Republican, is being talked of for
the Republican nominee for the coun-
Gil district composed of the counties of
is popular citizen and the New Mex
leans information is that, if nomina-
ted his chances for success are very
good. w. H. Greer manager of the
Victorio Land and Cattle Company,
also of Deming, is being mentioned as
a possible Republican candidate for the
district composed of the
of Grant and Luna. He is
thoroughly and we'll known in the dis
trict and is one of its leading citizens.
If nominated he will stand an excellent
chance for election.
District Attorney Charles A. Spiess
Of Las Vegas, it is understood, has
as a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for delegate to the |
5Sth congress. Mr. Spiess at one time
counted as high as S. delegates in his |
favor, but when it came to actual fig |
lring, it was found that after all only |
The delegations from San Miguel and I
Guadalupe counties could be counted |
lpon by him with any certainty. His
of Delegate B. S. Rodey. |
The friends of former Delegate H. B.
FERGUSON are working hard to secure |
1is nomination as the Democratic cam
1idate for delegate to the 58th con-
5ress. The Democratic delegation from
he county of Union has been instruc- |
ed for him. If nominated, he will put |
Up good fght.a may make gains |
,ver the 1900 Democratic vote, but the |
chances are all against him, and he |
will be defeated.
So far two Republican county con-
ventions have been held in the terri
.ory, viz: Lincoln and Bernalillo, and
both have strongly and unequivocally |
ndorsed the administration Of Cover
Tor Otero. In yesterdays Bernalillo |
Republican county convention the fol- |
owing resolution in this respect was |
adopted: "We most heartily indorse |
he continued able and successful ad- |
of the Hon. Miguel A. |
0tero as governor of the Territory of |
New Mexico, whose administration has |
been not only satisfactory to our peo-
Die, but has brought our territory into |
avorable prominence abroad and has |
materially aided in the development of |
is many resources" 1t Is certain that |
every other Republican county con-
1ention held in this campaign will ap-
prove and indorse Governor Otero's
administration, which should be the
case in every instance, as the adminis-
ration is fully deserving and entitled
to such approval and Endorsement.
