"A As the process OF elimination
Il h goes on, this proposed candidate
being found to fail to measure up TO
requirements, while another proves to
be not available. it begins TO look that
state senator Isaac Barth, or AIbu-
querque. will be the next Democratic
candidate for governor of the state Of
New Mexico.
OF the state candidates whom The
Herald has sought TO interview with
reference TO the political situation in
New Mexico. there is positively no
body home" This applies 10 up
stairs" I'm fact it goes from ceflar
10 garnet.
Holm O. Bursum. candidate for the
Republican nomination for governor,
has been at his sheep ranches, 40
miles and more distant from Socorro,
for nearly three weeks. Judge M Z.
Mechem, Of SocOrrO, mentioned in con-
nectDn with the nomination Tor the
supreme court, is over in the thlrd
judicial district holding court Tor
judge r. J. Medler. at Carrizozo. Max
H. MontOya, Democrat. treasurer OF
SocOrro county, and being urged by
a number Of friends to make the race
Tor state treasurer, was out on n'S
ranch. with his return a matter Of con-

HubbeI on Ranch. Too.
Mr.. Hubbell is out on his ranches.

mot definitely. II he stays until
the shearing is finished, he VIII not
be back until about the first or June.
Otherwise he may possibly be back
about the middle Of next week" This
the nnnI numn which occurred At
the office of Frank A. Hubben, I'm
Albuquerque. Note that he may be
back about the middle Of the week.
He is one Of the largest sheep owners
In the state, and when he gets out
and suhmerges himself In the work,
nobody knows when he will return to
Albuquerque. He is a candidate for
the senatorial toga which Thomas B.
Catron is now wearing, and which the
senator tenaciously and vigorously
seeks TO retain.
Andrews in the East.
William n. Andrews, another seeker
after the senatorial honor. Via the
Republican convention, also Is num-
bered among those not present They
said at the AlvaradO hotel; "Mr. An
dreWs has gone east He has been
gone for some time. and we have no
means Of knowing when he VIII re-
turn to Albuquerque"
BY some il has been said that when
Andrews returns from the east, he

the offices He leaves again for
Belen. TO make the address to the
graduating class Of the high school"
But even this was not all: Senator
Thomas B. Catron has LEFT the state,
returning TO Washington. On account
