MUCH ENTHUSIASM PREVAILS
Opposition to denomination
Of Assessor Ortiz Mani.
fest in Every Ward.

The Republicans of Santa Fe city
and county held their primaries yester-
day for the selection of delegates to
the county convention which will be
held at the court house on Tuesday
next. The primaries in the county pre-
cincts were held yesterday morning
and in the city precincts last evening.
In the four city precincts the primaries
were largely attended and much en-
thusiasm prevailed. There was prac-
tically no opposition except in Precinct
No. 4, where the supporters of Marce-
limo Ortiz, who is a candidate for re-
nomination a. assessor, wanted DR.. j.
H. Sloan named as chairman of the
primary meeting, while the anti-Ortiz
forces brought forward Seferino Baca.
AS the Ortiz men were outnumbered
about four to one, Baca was chosen
chairman and an anti-Ortiz delegation
to the county convention named. 1t is
also understood that in each of the
other city precincts, delegates oppos-
ed to Ortiz were selected. The results
of the primaries in the city precincts
follow:
Precinct No. 3.
No less than $50 voters attended the
primaries in precinct No. 3, which
we're held at the school house, and the
meeting was record breaker for this
precinct. Great enthusiasm was mani
tested and although the opposition was
given every opportunity to make itself
felt, it was too much in the minority
to do anything. Organization was ef.
fected by making Nicolas Sena per-
manent chairman and Juan Jose Grie-
go, secretary. A committee was ar
pointed to submit list of delegates
and the report of this committee was
adopted unanimously, the following
delegates being elected:
Jose D. Sena, Juan Ortega, Tomas
Quintana, Telesforo Rivera, Felipe
Archuleta, Ruperto Padilla, Andres
sena, George w. Armijo, Victor Gar
cia Fe,iciano Sena, Inocensio Gonzales
Teodoro Abeytia, Nicolas Sena and
Jose Griego.
The delegation from this precinct is
said to be solid for Telesforo Rivera as
the nominee for county assessor.
Precinct No. 4.
The liveliest primaries of the even
ing were held at the school house in
precinct No. 4, the home of Marcelino
Ortiz. who is opposed for denomination
as assessor. Mr.. Ortiz was desirous OF
securing a delegation favorable to him.
However, the opposition was too
strong, outnumbering the Ortiz sup
porters at least four to one. The anti
Ortiz forces placed in nomination Sc
ferino Baca for chairman, while the
Ortiz men suggested the name OF Dr.
]. H. Sloan. When vote was taken
it was found that Baca had been
nominated by big majority At this
iuncture the Ortiz men left the place
OF meeting and held rump primary,
selecting a delegation Of their own,
which will contest the seats of the
regular elected delegation from this
precinct at the county convention. The
regular delegates elected are as fol
lows:
Facundo Ortiz, Pedro Roybal, Sefer.
