CURRY PREDICTS A VICTORY
FOR THE REPUBLICAN, PARTY
Territorial Campaign.

The outlook in the territory is
that the race between Andrews and
Larrazolo is going to be close, both
sides claiming majority oi two to
three thousand votes. In eastern
New Mexico Andrews IS expected
to lose by two thousand to twenty.
five hundred, but his gains in cen.
tral and northern counties is he.
lleved by the republican managers
to he amply sufficient TO overcome
his losses in the eastern counties
OF the territory. The democrats
are claiming Quay county Tor Lar
razolu 10y five hundred to seven
hundred and nifty, and Roosevelt
by even greater numbers. II is
believed that NJ. {. Mechem, can.
dldate Tor the council from this
district, viii be- elected by "A tre-
mendous majority, and that Clancy,
Tor the House OF the Assembly, will
also defeat his opponent by sew.
cral hundred votes. The chances
seem good Tor a division oi honors
on the county ticket. The repub.
licans should elect the sheriff, while
: the Offices oi clerk, treasurer and
collector and assessor are sought
by very strong men on the demo-
cratic ticket, and while there are
equally capable and popular men
on the republican ticket, on a
straight party vote, the democrats
are thought to have the best OF it,
1t is generally believed that the
republicans will elect the rest OF
the ticket, unless the democrats
should come in with a commission
er from District No. ;. NJ. Ru.
dulph, Tor superlnte n dent OF
schools, 1t is thought bN those
making the most conservative fig
ures, will be elected by "A good
sale majority, and i. Nelson
will likely come off the plains with
majority enough to land him safely
in the Office OF probate ludge.
The democratic county campaign
has been Nriy ably managed by
{. {. Davidson, who knows much
more OF politics than he is given
credit Tor bv the republicans gen.
orally, and the further tact that he
has had plenty OF money to spend
has helped the cause wonderfully
This forecast is by no means ar
inspired prophecy, but is only q
summary that the reader OF every
newspaper expects on the eve oI
election. 1t is to be sincerely
regretted that the chances oi tn,
election OF a republican delegat,
are no more favorable, as there u
no question but that congress, "
both house and senate, will b,
strongly republican with repub
lican executive over them, and I'll,
possibility OF admission to state
hood with a democratic, Mexican
catholic delegate is cut OF the ques
ton. Not that Mr.. Larrazolo i,

but we simply speak OF the condi
tions with which he will be Con'
tronted as delegate to congress

parties,
