CIavcs Takes Back Seat.
The leading democratic county Is
not Chaves. but Bernalillo, for the lat
ter cast Leg votes for Ferguson.
Even San Miguel did better than Cha
YES. for san Miguel is the third
strongest democratic county in the
state having cast 1,292 votes for Fer
gusson, while Grant Is second, with
I ,599, Chaves being only fourth, with
liza votes. Democracy has not one
county with as many as 1850 votes
while the G. O. p has three counties
with more than 1000 votes. Democ-
raey has only four above 1000, while
the republicans have nine such coun-
ties, As far as canxassed, the counties
with less than 900 democratic votes
range as follows: Mora, $50; Dona
Ana. $40: Colfax. 927; Union. 9l6'
Santa Re, 81; Socorro. 1874; Rio Ar
riba, 1884: Quay. 712. Guadalupe, 7ls'
Eddy. G62; Taos. Gel; Otero, 54S;
Roosevelt, 5O7: Lincoln, 1872; Curry,
461; Luna, 431; Mckinley, AZ; San
Juan. $50; Valencia. 1873; Sierra. lsl,
and sandoval. 1l6.
In other words. paradoxlcal as !,
may seem, the strongest republican
counties are also the strongest demo-
cratic counties. and Bernalillo aud
San Miguel counties have more votes
than the entire lower Pecos valley, in
Guiding the four counties of Chaves,
Eddy, Curry and Roosevelt to which
dtiilt'idfe always itbhS iVi Guy N.Y.
of victory.
The leading progressive county was
again Sandoval, with 452 votes; santa
Fe was second. with 149; Union and
Colfax are tied for third place. with
1876 votes each; Chayes gave 11S AMI
all the other counties fell below the
100 mark. Curry gave the heaviest
socialist yofc--178 for Metcalf: Cha
YES came next. with 49, Union third,
with 1876; Grant fourth. with 101, all
the other counties casting less than
100 votes each.
II is conceded that Judge II, f.
Reynolds will be the republican nomi-
nee for governor two years hence, de-
spite of talk of nominating W. w. Cox
of Dona Ana, or secundino Romero OF
San Miguel.
