Arr1ba county, who were arrested last
spring for bride taking in a frameup
with Falls managers, this time voted
SOlidly for Fall. One of them, COrdoVa,
cast his first vote on the roll call for
Malaquas Martinez. of Taos, the Repub-
Icdn OeIeaUe0 candidate Tor secretary
OF state in the first state election but
before the vote was announced he
arose and changed his vote from Mar
tinez to Fall
1TPrOgressiTes'' for Fall.
Another noticeable feature of the
vote was the fact that John Baron
Burg, one of the Progressive" leaders
in the last session of the house and
prominent in the Progressive" cause
last campaign, and w, H H. Llewellyn,
head of the Progressive" party or
SaniZatiOn in Dona Ana county, also
