Santa Fc, March After morning.
afternoon and evening sessions had
been held here today by the demo-
cratic central and executive commit
tees, Il was finally decided To ahan-
don the plan formulated by the exc
cuiive committee for the distribution
OF federal patronage In New Mexico.
This leaves every applicant for a fed
eral position free 10 get what endorse
monts he can from the different mom-
bers nf the committee and precludes
the committee as IL whole from en-
dorsins anyone for ANYTHING
Summed up, the plan agreed on
checks the endorsing OF candidates
squaroly up TO the state chairman. the
national committeeman and the con-
gresham. who necessarily viii have
the last say in presenting the names
OF onlceseckers 10 the president
At the session this evening IL was
decided to authorize the state chair
man. national committeeman and
member Of congress to present 10 the
president all applications from New
Mexico. This scheme It Is understood,
does not leave them to make any re-
concentrations or 20 pass upon any
applications. hui simply 10 act as an
official channel for the transmission TO
the executive Of such applications as
MAY bee placed in their hands for that
purpose.
The following resolution. relating TO
the matter v4i adopted this after
noon
Resolved, That each candidate for
a federal appointment within or With
out the state of New Mexico be left
to his own Judgment as 10 the method
he may use or the channel through
which he will present his application
to the final appointive power"
This was offered by J. 4. Haley. as
substitute for lengthy resolution,
over which the committees wrangled
all afternoon The long resolution IN
itself was a substitute for the cXecu-
tive committee plan drafted in Albu-
querQue and had the support Of
goedly number Of the old guard demo
Gratis Considerable criticism was di-
rected against the executive commit
tee for its plan of distribution Of pa
tronage. but when adjournment was
taken tonight all was harmonious.
The democrats feel that the plan
as adopted preeludcs the formation Of
any machine ana IN general appear

This afternoon the committee
adopted resolution 10 The general
effect that as many places should hc
secured for the Spanish
under the democratic administration
as had been their lot under the pass
ing republican administration and
that these places should be of as high
a grade. The latter provision was in
serted after the Introduction Of the
resolution as preventative against
giving the Spanish Americans an
equal or larger number OF inconsider
able appointments. Some opposition
to II was manifested, the main at
tempt being Ia make the distribution
OF offices TO Spanish Americans pro
puftionhtc 10 tnelr strength IN thti
party, the number given chem under
the republican administration being
also considered. That is, II this
scheme had succeeded the party
would have stood pledged to give
them about one-tenth Of what the re-
publicans gave them, for the number
Of Spanish-American democrats is
about one-tenth Of the percentage Of
spanish-Americans in the republican
party
Following the adjournment this
evening there was more or less of an
exodus Of democratic leaders, though
many viii not get away until tomor
row
The morning session was frutiuly
spent in the discussion OF the colfax
county factiona fight. This was at
least temporarily patched ~ this al
ternoon. by seating two men from the
Morrow faction ana one from the
Kohhausen faction The committee
ordered a primary to be held in the
county to settle which faction IS really
in control Of county affairs.
