Bernalillo and San Miguel Ap-
pear to Be In Republican
Column.

= l.
Bernalillo county by majority OF 500.
This is not campaign talk, this is the
way it is going. The Republican
ticket will be elected but the Demo-
Gratis are making the hardest fight
they ever made, a number OF Demo
cratic votes are going for Republican
ticket straight through because in
making fusion deal down here, Demo-
cratic leaders gave so many offices to
the so-called Progressive element that
a straight Democrat has little chance.
Reports received in the Albuquerque
Herald office until noon indicate sud
den and unexpected landslide for
Bursum. His friends are getting in
their work now and they are stand
ing by Bursum as never before.
Large Vest Pocket Vote.
Albuquerque, N. NJ, Nov. AT one
o'clock considerably more than half
the registered vote of Albuquerque
and adjacent precincts had been cast
in the first election for state officers.
In the city of Albuquerque steady
stream of voters was in line in front
Ct the polling places constantly dur
ing the morning and heavy vote
was being cast. Managers of both
parties are making confident claims
OF victory in this county but the
large vest pocket vote cast makes
it impossible to tell with any degree
OF accuracy what the result will be
until after the official count. Much
interest is being manifested in the
fate of the Blue Ballot amendment
to the constitution. Indications are
that the vote on the amendment will
be equally as large as that for state
officers, and at this hour it is certain
that decided majority will be return
ed against the amendment
San Miguel County for Bursum.
E. Las Vegas, N. NJ, Nov. T.
Bright sunshine and comparatively
warm temperature caused heavy
vote in all of the precincts of East
and West Las Vegas
At noon considerably over one
cast. During the dinner hour, there
was heavy voting. Owing to the man
ner in which the blue ballot is cast,
it is comparatively easy to make es-
that provision. In East Las Vegas
the vote is said to be running slight
ly in favor of the adoption of the
amendment provision. In Old Town
and throughout the county precincts,
there is a heavy vote against it. 1t
is expected the county will return a
substantial vote against the measure.
There is every reason to believe this
county will go strongly Republican.
The majority is estimated at about
1000.
Democratic Flood in Pecos Valley.
Roswell, N. NJ, Nov. 7-Republican
and Democratic managers agree Dem,
ocratic majority for state ticket in
Chaves county, will be between 1,00G
and 1900 The Blue Ballot Amend.
ment will be carried by majority
agreed to be about LOO to 1,S00. AT
noon a heavy vote had been polled
and the voters were waiting in line
AS the day is bright and clear, big
vote will be cast throughout the Pc
cos valley with more than the usual
Democratic majority for the state
ticket. The Democrats claim all
county candidates will be elected by
majorities smaller than the state can
didates.
Taos County.
Every indication is that the Repub
ncans have elected their entire coun
ty ticket in Taos county by majori
ties ranging around 275. The major
ity for H. o. Bursum is claimed to bt
225.
Latest Reports.
AS the New Mexican went to press
at p. M, reports are mostly rosy fol
Republican victory throughout tn,
state. The Democratic vote in tn,
Pecos valley is reported badly spill
and the total majority will not ex
ceed 5000. In Bernalillo the Repub
lican county ticket is said to be sui
fering because of trading for vote
against the Blue Ballot and that Bur
sum is running rapidly ahead of tn
Republican county ticket, which lat
ter appears to be elected by only
very narrow margin. In East La
Vegas, Bursum and Mcdonald are run
ing neck and neck, but in the OF,
Town Bursum will have good ma
jcrity.
Reports from Socorro indicated tha
the county will give Bursum NOR
than thousand majority.
