the Republicans there for the renomi
nation of Mr.. Sanchez as q candidate
for member of the house of the 35tl

Der of the S4th legislative assembly ant
made a good record. No candidate fol
the position on the Democratic ticke
from that county has as yet been talk
ed of. The Republican nomination fol-
a candidate for the council from the
district composed of Colfax, Mora ant
Union counties goes to Colfax county
this time, and eX-Sheriff Marion Lit
trell of Springer, is suggested as very
suitable and strong man for the posi-
ton. Olin E. Smith, Clayton attor-
ney, who represented Union county in
the 33d legislative assembly, is talked

council from that district.
ra county, who was one of the men,
bers of the house of representatives
from the Socorro and Sierra district in
the 33d and S4th legislative assemblies,
is understood to be candidate for the
Republican council nomination from
the district. Louis Gales and w. w.
Williams, both of Hillsboro, are be-
lieved to be willing to accept the Re-
publican nomination for the house of
representatives from the district One
of these nominations generally going to
Sierra county, the other to Socorro
county. The indications are that Sierra
county will give a Republican majority
in the coming elections.
The Democrats of Chaves, Eddy and
Otero counties have adopted the pri-
mary system of nominating candidates.
1t must be admitted that the method is
very good one, provided it is thor
oughly regulated by law as it is in
--t--.~.,.4- .nIl, uCrrItury Inere IS
as yet no primary election law.
In Rio Arriba courty there is as yet
not much talk of political nature. 1t
is learned that the name of JIM. G.
Chaves of Abiquiu, will be presented
for the council nomination from the
counties of Taos, Rio Arriba and San
Juan. The other candidate talked of
for that position is Colonel Venceslao
Jaramillo of FL Rito, who is secretary
of the territorial board of equalization,
and who has represented Rio Arriba
county with credit and efficiency in the
house of representatives of the 32d and
33d legislative assemblies.
The New Mexicans information from
Chaves county is to the effect that the
Democratic nomination for member of
the council from the Shoestrng district
is very likely to go to G.. A. Richardson
Of Roswell, although Judge w. w.
Gatewood, also now of Roswell, is said
to be a candidate for the nomination.
In Eddy county the Democratic prim-
ticket will be held in September and
there seems to be no strife over any
position excepting that of collector. The
Republicans of the county have not yet
determined what course of action they
will pursue.
Information reaches the New Mexican
from San Miguel that the friends of
William Frank of Los Alamos, will
make an effort to have this popular
citizen nominated for the position of
collector and treasurer on the Republ-
can ticket. He is we'll known through
utation, has served one term very ac-
ceptably, as chairman Of the board of
county commissioners, and is in all re-
spects worthy of the nomination. From
Las Vegas it is learned that there are
from to 10 candidates for the Repub-
lican nominations for the council. 1t
seems however that ]. S. Duncan and
Charles A. Spiess are in the lead for
such. For members Of the house Fuse
bia Chacon, the very competent inter-
prefer for the United States court of
private land claims and who Is a prac-
ticing attorney in Las Vegas, as also
Atilano Ulibarri and Zacarias Valdez
are mentioned; the latter was mem
ber of the 34th legislative assembly and
acquitted himself with credit. Melicio
Lucero of Los Alamos, may also be-
come candidate for member of the
house. Nominations in San Miguel
county will be strenuously contested
for, as the chances are that the Re-
publicans will carry that county by a
very handsome majority.
In Santa Fe county candidates on the
Republican ticket are increasing. 1t is
said that T. B. Catron will be a can
didate for the council and that w. J.
Mcpherson Of this city, and Tomas
Royval of San Ildefonso, will be can
didates for the house. Telesfor Rivera

the same office. The following names
are mentioned for the nomination of
county clerk: Atanasio Romero, Am
