other Senatorial Talk.
And when it comes to Andrews,
there is much talk about Andrews in
the congressional race. While on the
surface leading men among the voters
appear to wish Andrews were elm
mated from the race, one often hears
the expression andrews has got to
be reckoned with. He is foxy boy"
With 1t practically settled that Fail
VIII be one of the senators, unless
there is g Democratic victory (and
even the most enthusiastic Democrats
VIII not insist privately that the legis-
lature viii be DemOCratic) it appears
that the big fight viii be over the sec
Ond senatOrship, and Herbert j. Ha-
germans prediction that the legisla-
tors would fight for weeks may come
true. There are andrews, solomon
Luna GOV. Mills, former Gov. OterO
(lt he can win state senatOrship he
is now fighting for on the fusion
ticket from santa FED, Chas. Springer
and maybe some more, including Chas.
Spless. who ara considered in the race.
The Democrats are declaring posi-
lively that with the aid Of the insur-
gent Republicans in the legislature,
they viii be able to control the legis-
lature and elect the senators. 1t is
insisted by certain Republicans and
admitted as possible by Democrats,
that even in such an event as this,
FAN would get one Of the senator
ships, and OterO might get the other,
but the Republicans are not for an
instant even assuming that the Demo-
Gratis viii ever have any such luck
even as a fusion majority.
May be Some Scratching.
There are several peculiarities in
the existing condition Of political az
fairs and one of them is that 1T is
going 10 be possible to elect a Demo
cratic and Republican congressman
D. H-e- rs
nominated George Curry and ElfegO
Baca for these positions and the Dem
Ocrats nominated ii. B. Ferguson and
Paz Valverde, the intention being to
pit Curry against Ferguson or vice
versa and Baca against his spanish
speaking opponent on the Democratic
ticket The law says, however, that
the two men receiving the highest vote
viii get the offices and there is
possibility, even If not a strong prob
ability, that the Spanish speaking
voter being in the majority in the
territory, viii turn in and elect the
two MeXicans. However, Republican
leaders are not worrying over this and
declare that George Curry is as strong
among the MeZiCans as any Mexican
himself, and that ne viii surely be
elected, along with Baca- The Demo
Gratis insist that BaCa is among the
easiest Republicans TO defeat and that
they will elect his Spanish opponent
on their ticket to congress with ease.
In any event, New Mexico will send
one Mexican to congress and he viii
occupy the unique distinction of be-
ing the only Mexican in that body.
For the supreme court and for rail-
road commissioners and cOrpOrati
commissioners, the same condition
prevails regarding the vote as applies
to the congressional race-the high
est men viii win regardless Of marty
and there is a chance here again for
the political compilations of these or
carnations TO be somewhat mixed,
not only a chance, but a strong prob
uity, for it is believed to be almost
certain that for supreme court justice
for instance, the highest man on the
ticket of the losing party, win have
larger vote than the lowest man on
the ticket Of the winners
