Observation-Disclosures Hope
we'll to Step Out.
The Santa Fe County Democracy, il
its last Saturdays convention was 81
lent upon the question of a candidat,
for delegate, but it is not believed
that the delegates are for Jerry"
| *#*
The delegates from the ninth coun
Gil district will hold meeting at La:
Vegas and will select candidate foI
| the council from the district. Charlie!
l.. Ballard of Roswell, is spoken of fol
the nomination from the shoe-strins
district, which contains the counties
of Chaves, Eddy, Roosevelt, Lincoln
Otero, Dona Ana, Luna, and Grant ant
which it is claimed is overwhelmingly
Democratic.
The Democrats of Chaves County
held their convention at Roswell last
Saturday and instructed first, last and
all the time for the only Gerry Simp-
SON. for the nomination for delegate
to congress. It is asserted by Mr..
Simpsons friends that the eastern
counties of New Mexico, namely Union,
Chaves, Roosevelt and Eddy, will be
solid for him at the Las Vegas conven-
tion and that he will receive the NOM
inatiOn.
According to all accounts the Dem
ocratic party in Bernalillo County ex-
lists only in the city of Albuquerque,
and it is none too strong. It is said
that in the county precincts no Demo
cratic primaries were held and the del
egates from Albuquerque to the Las
Vegas convention are self-chosen rep
resentatives. There is little clique of
Democrats in Albuquerque constitut-
ing the party, no more and no less.

From Albuquerque comes the report,
which, however, the New Mexican does
not vouch for, that u S. Attorney w.
B. Childers of the district of New Mex
leo, will tender his resignation Octo-
Der the 1st next as such official and
will thereafter become candidate for
the legislative council from the dis
trict composed of Bernalillo, Mckinley
and Sandoval Counties. This report
has gone about to a considerable ex-
tent in the Duke City
The following is the list of delegates
and alternates elected Saturday by
the Democratic County Convention:

Eugenio Sena, c. F. Easley, Apolonio
Rael, Atanacio Gonzales ]. D. Hart,

These are to represent the unterrified |
Democracy of Santa Fe County at Las
Vegas.
From Las Vegas the New Mexican
lears, that R. E. Twitchell has given
out cold that there are no 'clanking
hains" upon him that he will be
chairman of the San Miguel County
delegation to the Republican Conven-
ion at Albuquerque and that in the
words of the immortal Patrick Henry
le will make speech there, the key
lote of which will be eff this be treas
N make the most of it." 1t is said that
he leading Republicans of the Mead
w City who do not love Mr.. Twitchell
my too we'll are standing about agast
md are shaking at this fearful pro-
Should Jerry Simpson not be nomi-
lated by the Democratic Territorial
next Thursday, the
hances are that J. H. Crist of Monero,
lio Arriba County, will be selected as
hartman of the Democratic Territor
al Central Committee. Mr.. Crist has
lad considerable politicaY experience
nd will, if selected, make an aggres-
i've and energetic campaign on be-
lalf of the Democratic candidate for
lelegate and for legislative nominees.
The New Mexicans information is to
he effect that he will not accept the
'osition should Jerry" be nominated,
Is Crist is gold bug and has no use
or the political views and opinions of
Jerry"
