Taos, N. M, October 9, 1906
The Democratic convention for
Taos County, called to meet at 10 a.
m, Tuesday, did not convene until 3
p M, on account Of the nOn-arrival of
a sufficient number of delegates. AT
that hour o. A. Larrazolo, Democratic
nominee for Delegate TO Congress, ar
rived, escorted by vast concourse
of the faithful and unterrified, num-
bering thirty.five, including the two
fiddlers.
On reaching the court house, the
convention was Immediately called to
order and Mr.. Larrazolo was intro.
duced He expressed his pleasure at
meeting the people of the beautiful
Taos valley, and announced that he
would addressed the people on the
issues of the campaign in
the evening. Mr.. Larrazolo looked
fatigued and his voice was not in good
condition. A committee consisting Of
R. c. Pooler, T. ]. Turner and George
Holdren, escorted Mr.. Larrazolo to
his hotel.
Chairman Scheurich, Of the County
Central Committee, then proceeded
with the regular business of the con-
vention. Alex. Gusdorf was made
temporary chairman with Juan Fran,
cisco Montoya and Albino Suazo as
vice-presidents, and }. n. Vigil and

Convention then took recess till
the committees were ready to report
and re-cOnvened at 4:30 p. m. The
various committees made their re-
ports, which were adopted. The per-
manent officers of the convention were:
Juan Francisco Martinez, President;
Juan G. Martinez and Albino Suazo,
Vice-Presidents and o. G. Martinez
and Julian Cisneros, Secretaries.
Soon after the reports of the several
committees had been acted upon. the
convention went into executive ses-
sion, with, everybody but the dele.
gates excmded and at about five
o'clock, adjourned to I p. m. That
hour arrived, but there was nothing
doing, and at 1885 Mr.. Larrazolo was
presented and began his address,
which was, after few words in En-
glish, entirely in Spanish. and with
out an interpreter. This was quite
a disappointment to many present
who do not understand Spanish, but
who desired to hear the orator whose
fame as speaker had preceded him.
The court house was packed with at
tentive listeners. many of whom were
Republicans. Mr.. Larrazolos voice
seems to have broken down under the
strain of his speech-making tour, and
he was quite hoarse, speaking with
evident difficulty.
Up to this hour the Democrats have
not made single nomination for any
office legislative or county. and seem
to be completely at sea. They claim
to be waiting for delegation from
Mora County, but just what the Mora
Democrats have to do with the Taos
County ticket is not quite clear. 1t
is not probable that any nominations
will be made till after the Repub-
licans name the winning ticket next
Saturday.
