IMPROVING
POLITICALLY
Last Weeks Election in Grant Coun-
ty Shows That Heavy Democratic
Majorities There Are Pass.
ing Away.

Judge w. H. Newcomb, of Silver
City, who has been chairman OF the
Republican county central committee
Of Grant County for the past six years,
and who served in that capacity in the
recent election, was in the city yester'
day and left yesterday afternoon for
Washington, where he has legal bus
mess to attend to. Judge Newcomb
was congratulated by his friends here
upon the good work done by the Re
publicans Of Grant County and by him
as chairman of the Republican com
mittee, during the last election. Mr.
Newcomb modestly said that the re
suit was due to the fact that the Re
publicans of the county were united
and that every leading Republican
there did his share to bring about
victory, although nominally Grant
County is considered strongly Demo
cratic.
The official returns of Grant County
run as follows: Money over Andrews
ITO; Rodey's vote being 63; Moore
Democrat, over Miller, Republican, for
the council, 70; Ballard, Democrat
over Tempke, Republican, for the
council, 78; Neblett, Democrat, over
Warren, Republican, for the house.
100; Hannigan, Republican, over Law.
son, Democrat, for the house, Ill.
On the county offices, the majorities
ran: Link, Democrat, over Shoemak
er, Republican, for county commission
er, SO votes; Ownby, Democrat, over
smyle, Republican, for county commits
sioner, 70 majority; Bennett, Demo
crat, over Rowlee, Republican, for pro
bate Judge, 73 majority; Walton, Dem
crat. over Teel, Republican, for coun
ty clerk, 673; Farnsworth, Republican
over Blair, Democrat, for sheriff, III
McAninch, Republican, over Carvll
Democrat, for assessor ATS; Goodell
Republican, over Fleming, Democrat
for treasurer 292; White, Democrat
for superintendent of schools, ovel
Belts, Republican, 20 majority. Dele
gate Rodey received but 10 votes II
Silver City; 20 in Pinos Altos and th'
balance we're scattered throughout th'
county.
Judge Newcomb feels quite elate'
over the result and thinks that thl
tshows two facts, one that the peopl
of Grant County on the county tlcke
voted for men more than for part
sake and further that the large Demo
cratic majorities which have obtaine
in that county for many years are pe
ing steadily reduced every election an
and he hopes to be able to announc
two years hence clean Republlca
sweep in his county. Newcomb feel
confident that had Governor Otero an
Senator Andrews been able to visit 81
yer City and to hold meeting there
that it would have made the latte
MANY votes and that it would hav
been an even break on the Republlca
delegate ticket on election day; on
point in Mr.. Moneys favor was that n
had been to Silver City quite Otter
was well acquainted and liked socla
lly there, nevertheless Senator Al
drews gained 1S votes over the vot
cast for Delegate Rodey in the tow
two years ago, Andrews receiving 2t
against 240 two years ago for Rodey'

New York, November 15.--While
considerable progress has been made
in repairing the damage wrought by
Sundays gale, the conditions today
are by no means normal. Good con

eastern Maine, where more than l,2ot
telegraph and telephone poles were
blown down during the storm, the
