of his assessment, thereby establishing
a new and dangerous precedent in the
history of primary elections in this or
any other county Joe said he was
tickled TO death that it was not SIS
and wanted 10 pay it before there was
a change for the worse.
Drawing for Place.
The next order of business as indi-
Gated by the slip held by A. Pool was
the drawing by lot for the top line
positions on the ballot where more
that one candidate was announced for
the offices Rising to a point of in
formation, chairman Ware asked how
this was usually done. Joe Dunno, dele
gate from, and mayor pro tenn of East
Ell Paso, volunteered the Information
that sometimes 1T was done by shooting
dice, sometimes by splitting at a crack
and again by tossing a dollar. This was
ruled out of order for such dignified
body and the chairman appointed
Maury Kemp and A NJ. Loomis as keep
ers of the royal headpieces in the draw
ing for places Dan Jackskon's Mexican
straw sombrero, Adrian Pools joe
bailey lid, a summer straw and a Stet-
son were pressed into service, each one
being used as q temporary ballot box
from which w H. Burgess drew the
numbers at the same time calling the
candidate for whom he was drawing.
The returns after the out townships
had reported were: District attorney,
]. NJ Nealon, l, W. D. Howe, 2; sheriff
Charles Cunningham, 1, F. J. Hall, 2;
P. J. Edwards, 8; district clerk, Ike
Alderete, /, o. NJ Talley, 2. (This called
forth a whoop of delight from Joe Dris-
coll, who was watching likes political
fences in the absence of Ike) Justice
Of the peace E. H. Watson got place
No. l, and H. F. Stacy No. ?. Ed McClin-
took has no opposition. For constable,
Cruz Ortiz got l, w. A. Mitchell 2, and
Domingo Montoya 3. AS these We're
the only candidates who had opposition,
the others will be paced on the ballot
first in each case while the above will
appear in the order named.
A Point Raised.
During the meeting, a point of cleo
ton law was raised by J. NJ. Nealon,
Maury Kemp and others as 10 whether
Il majority or plurality elected. This
was settled by Ballard Caldwell who
moved that plurality elect The word
elect was evidently used advisedly as
the nomination at the primary carries
with it the election because of dearth
CT Republican candidates and n still
greater dearth of Republican votes. Aft
er this was settled and order of bust
ness had been carried out to the last
ruled line on Adrian's Poole's paper,
chairman Ware announced the appoint
ment of Ballard Caldwell, ]. N. White.
Joe Dunne Maury Kemp, and r. F.
Burgess as a subcommittee to meet on
the second Monday in July at his office
TO prepare the ballot and the meeting
adjourned.
