When the last cloud had passed and
the thunderstorm had ended Saturday,
night, the ring sacnmes gath
cred in the office of the cOun-
" clerk and gave thanks that
all candidates had been nomi-
mated at the Democratic primaries
Throughout the evening they were
worried regarding the outcome, as the
precincts in the northern part of the
city kept piling up majorities for w A.
Mitchell for constable, but the Mexican
precincts came to the rescue and car
ried Montoya through with a majority
of 223 votes.
The heaviest vote in the history of Ell
PaSo was polled and, though all returns
are not in, those which have been re-
ceived show that all ring candidates
have been nominated, that Coquitt is
the choice of FL Paso county for gov
ernor and that submission was defeated
in this county. One of the surprises
was the fact that Ysleta, Ike Alderetes
home, went against the ring" also
that many of the Mexican polls did not
give as large ring" majorities as had
been expected
Feeling was at a high pitch all day
Saturday: charges were made by both
sides that opponents were acting i'm
properly, two arrests of judges were
made by deputy sheriffs under Hall,
one in the fifth and one in the fourth
precincts, and an order was issued to
the chief Of police by mayor W. F. Rob-
inson to arrest any deputy sheriff who
attempted to enter the polls TO arrest
any of the judges. 1t was feared that
this might cause trouble, but there was
none. Monday morning complaint was
filed against G. McMeans. a Hall sup
porter and former cattle inspector, who
was charged with assaulting J. ]. Muir
ply, a young lawyer who presided in
precinct five after the removal of the
presiding judge, A. g. Duchene. who
was taken before justice e. H. Watson
on charge of soliciting a vote and
later released on $1,000 bail.
Polls Closed by Trouble.
AT Vint0n, y. NJ, about % votes were
polled and then the polling place was
closed, as the judge reported TO county
chairman w. B. Ware that he could do
nothing there ION account of interfer-
ence by Hall deputies" These returns
may not beIragistered with the official
returns before next Saturday. when the
executive committee will canvass the
returns.
County chairman W B. Ware, who
was appointed TO the office after the
retirement of ]. p. O'Connor. was re-
nominated for the position. He re-
main ed the Office OF the county clerk
all night Saturday and until o'clock
Sunday morning TO receive returns.
In precinct number three, the judges
and clerks worked until o'clock Sun
day evening canvassing the returns,
and other precincts kept the judges
late.
