26 wa the result of yesterdays JUS
tiee Of the peace election In Albuquef-
que. The result in precinct IL was u
surprise. for Il had been expected that
Judge A. j.. Crawford would be re-
elected to the position he has hlled so
long and with such exceptional abHlty.
Judge Crawford's friends made the
mistake Of being entirely too confident.
They did not make the effort prior 70
election day. while Mcclellan and ms
supporters put a very actlVe Week'
with the result that Mcclellan Voles
were frequent. and Mcclellan wofkef
many. AS IL was the vote in the pre-
cinct was light, and McClellan,s ma
lority was but s. votes. Mcclellan
received ISL votes TO 226 cast fof
era wford. while william Burgess on
the Mcclellan ticket for constable. re-
ceived k237 votes TO 262 FOR Garcia
the candidate for constable with Judge
Crawford. Judge Crawford has been
police Judge In addition 10 his position
as Justice OF the peace and has hlled
both Offices SO acceptably that his re-
tirement will b. generally regretted.

507 votes 10 t5S for Fracaroli
Smiths majority, 349. Judge Craig
has made an efficient and satisfactory
Justice Of the peace during his term

10 expect that he will continue to fill
the position satisfactorily.
In The Country Precincts.
Reports received from all of the
river precincts last night indicated
generally satisfactory results for tho
peoples party, the organization OF
which had been maintained for his
election. There was considerably more
interest in the county precincts than
in the city i'm this election and some OF
the fights at the polls We're interest
ing.
In Old Albuquerque the thing was a
walk-away for Justice of the Peace
Miguel Chaves, the present Off
cial. who was reelected by a vote Of
175 to 6 votes for the opposition can-
didate, Jose Andres Gurule, pat up by
the remnant of the Hubbell following,
in the old town, Carlos Cervantes was
elected constable by l76 to 5 votes for
his opponent. Juan T.. Salazar.
Hot Fight In Barcias.
Perhaps the. most interesting result
Of the day was in precinct No. s, Ba-
relas, where the indOmitable Eslavio
Vigil came TO the front again with n
determined although futile effort TO re-
gain his hold on the precinct. Vigil
had been working for some time OF
this election. with the result that he
succeeded in Forming a combination
between a remnant Of the once all
powerful lIubbell following and a por-
ton of tho peoples party. against the
peoples party organization. This
made the situation distinctly interest
ing. Tho peoples party candidate. II.
A. Gurulc. was elected, receiving q
vote Of t04 against 95 votes cast for
Adolfo Chavez. the Vigil candidate,
Gurule having q majority of 8. jose
ignacio ChaVera. peoples party can
dldate for constable. received 1902 votes
to % votes for the opposing candidate.
Romulo Urhano. Chavera's majority.
q. The election was had not without
hot work at the polls. Two men
were arrested for fighting during the
day.
In the precinct of Griegos. In the
November election a very close pre-
cinct. the peoples party candidates
were easily the winners, the same con-
ditiOn prevailing in Duranes, Alameda.
Ranches de Atrisco and Ranches de
Albuquerque, In almost all Of these
precincts, with the exception Of old
Albuquerque, almost the entire vote
was gotten out.
