8Quay county rolled up its usual
majority for the democrats and j
H.Welch of Forrest and Henry Swan
Of Tucumcari are elected by good
majorities to represent Quay county
in the next state legislature. Mr..
Boon is said to have led his ticket.
Mr. Ferguson received a majority
Of $50 over Hernandez; Hill 275 over
Williams with the candidates for
state Legislation receiving from 400
for Welch to AGO for Swan over the
Republican candidates. Boon and
Bridges.
The socialists received votes from
S up To 72, while the progressives
only polled Is in the county. These
are not official figures but arc
thought to be correct
One coincidence is that at Logan
which shows why FERGUSON was de-
feated. The Legislative candidates
each received 30 votes while Mr.. Fer
gusson received but ~ votes, and
this proves that there are a few dis
gruntled democrats who have defeat
ed their party in this state. Another
instance at Obar shows the people
appreciate the fact that their local
ity is noticed by their officials. Mr..
Williams secured 80 out of 39 votes
when the party vote was but > To 10.
This was vote of appreciation be-
cause of the fact that Mr.. Williams
ordered the railroad company to stop
certain trains at that point, put in "A
temporary depot preparatory to the
erection of a new depot. and his or
ders were obeyed
The democrats lost none of the
regular democratic states, but its
quite evident they must wake up or
number of the newspapers in this
state will have to change politics if
they expect to secure the land pub
lications.

ticularly in New York and Mass
