Santa Fe. \, NJ. Oct. 2.--The first
state convention of the democrats of
New Mexico opens here tomorrow. AS
usual, on the day before convention.
the slate makers are busy and many
and various are the lineups of the dell
egates and wisaeres as to the COM
position of the state ticket. Among
the score OF more tickets proposed.
the following seems to be about as
reliable as any:
For Governor--W C. Mcdonald, of
Lincoln county.
For Lieutenant Governor--E. G. de
Baca, of san Miguel county.
For Secretary of State~-Antonio
Lucero, of San Miguel county.
For Superintendent Of Public In
structon--Lucius Dllls of Chaves
county, or J. Il. Clark of Santa Fe
county.
For Treasurer-o. N. Marion. OF
Bernallllo county.
For Supreme Court Justices--R. II.
Hanna, of Santa Fe; w. A. Dunn of
Roswell. Summers Burkhart of Albu-
querque. or N. Il. Laughlin, of Santa
Fe.
For attorney general the choice
seems to lie between John Morrow, OF
Colfax and A. IL. Hudspeth, of Lin
coin
For Members of the Corporation
Commissioned. B. McGaffey. of Al
buquerque A. ]. Joseph. of Ojo Cali
ente. and o. l.. owen. of Clovis, seem
to be the general favorites.
For land commissioner there are
many names suggested, but II would
be useless to attempt to pick the win
ners from among them.
For the nominations for congress.
w. b. Walton. of Silver City, w. II.
McGill of LaLande and Isaac Barth
of Albuquerque. are the most promin-
emily mentioned. All three OF the men
have host of friends among the
delegates and II would not he sur
prising II theirs were the only names
presented to the convention. though
w. c. Liller, clever Washington
newspaper man. has announced him
self as a candidate. Mr. Liller, like all
true newspaper men, believes in adver-
tislng and while his chances are not
very good this year, he may win some
consideration In the democratic con-
vention twelve months hence.
The state central committee held
meeting this afternoon and arranged
the temporary roll call of the conven-
tion. A. A. Jones, of San Miguel, was
selected as temporary chairman ana
will call the convention to order ana
deliver the keynote speech. r. u,
Tittman OF Sierra and A. G.. Torres or
Socorro, were appointed as temporary
secretaries. It is said TO be the inten-
ton of the convention to declare Tor
its choice of United States senator's,
and in this event II seems almost
certain that Hon Harvey y. Fergus
son of Albuquerque. and Hon. a. A.
Jones OF Las Vegas, will he the men
TO receive the endorsement of the con-
ventlon.
Il. c. de Baca for lieutenant COVER
nor and Antonio Lucero for secretary
of state. both from San Miguel coun-
ty. are among the strongest democrats
among ine native SunH VI tN'N "NN'NN'
De Baca has held various offices When
the democrats were In power and Is
leader OF the party In his county
AS for Lucero. he Is likewise promin-
en-. At present he Is a member OF the
board of regents OF the New Mexico
Normal University at Las Vegas
member of the Normal faculty and
prominent man in his home city. lie
is especially popular with the native
people and made a good race on the
ticket for delegate to the
constitutional convention year ago.
THAT the democrats may agree on
The nomination of j. f. Clark Tor SUI
Of public instruction Is
not at all improbable. They are said
to have agreed that the position Is
one that has no place in politics ana
since Mr.. Clark has filled the oitlce
with satisfaction for the past TOUR
wears they may decide to continue MIN
for the good Of the public school sys-
tenn of the new state. 1t Is understood
he viii accept the nomination II tend
cred him.
