LINCOLN CLAIMED BY
BOTH BIG PARTIES

Carrizozo, n. NJ, oct. 81. = The
democrats of Lincoln county are san
guine of success at the polls next
Tuesday, and the feeling of the lead
ers of the party who have expressed
themselves may be summed up in the
statement of william j. Doering. the
chairman of the democratic county
central committee. Mr.. Doering says.
In my opinion, Lincoln county VIII
give the democratic candidates ma
jority on the ard of November. | be-
lieve this, Notwithstanding the fact
that the vote in the county in the past
has been very close, often favoring
the republicans. | believe this for
the reason that there are splendid
men running on the democratic ticket
and because of the growing demand
of the liberal voter, many of whom
are found in Lincoln county, for hon-
est. competent men irrespective of
party lines. But as being OF greater
Importance is the fact that this indie
pendent vote will come from all loyal
citizens who desire to uphold the ma
tional administration in this hour of
danger from foreign disturbance, and
il will of necessity go to the demo-
cratic nominees This applies par
ticularly to the congressional election
and this will give Mr.. Ferguson
lead over his opponent this fall---a
lead which no candidate heretofore
running in Lincoln county has ever
had. There is absolutely no doubt in
my mind but that Mr. Hill, for cor
poration commissioner. will receive
as strong a vote as will Mr.. Fergus
son for congress. The people desire
some results from this commission,
which they have been unable to OBJ
tain during the time Mr.. Williams has
been a member of the board, a part
az which time he was the chairman
John Y. Hewitt will receive a good
majority for the legislature from this
county, not only because of his
strength of character. recognized abil-
ity and unimpeachable integrity, but
because he stands squarely with the
people on the question of taxation
and methods of economy, and know
ing this. the people will cast their |
ballot where their interests lie, re-
gardless of what political party they |
may have been allied with in the past.
Therefore. | feel perfectly safe In say
ing that all things considered, LIN
coin county will give the democratic
candidates majority Of from 100 10
$50 votes"

publican committee, and Fredrico Ro- !
nero, the county republican chair |
man, see victory in Lincoln county
for the republican candidates. Mr.
Blanchard, speaking for the organl-
cation in this county, said
"B. c. Hernandez will have ma
jority of not less than go or SO in
Lincoln county You see ! am put
ting 1t mildly. because the record of
the 1911 and 1912 elections shows j
larger republican majority all along |,
the line. In 1911 Curry's majority !
over FERGUSON was 107. while Fer
gusson beat Jaffa in 1912 by the in |
significant majority OF 81. In the
1911 contest, Mcdonald, in his own |
county, was only able to scare up a |
majority of 80 over Bursum. while at
that same election Tully. our candi-
date for the lower house, beat his
democratic friend. Sipio Salazar, liz

democratic and socialist candidates

county and has made an exceptionally
good impression, and he is going TO
win. So is Hugh Williams. and by
