EPUBL|CANS IN
NORTH SECTION
Of STATE ALERT
Encouraging Reports Come
From Northern Tier of Coun-
tiesi Taos County Conven-
ton One Of Best Ever Held,

Edward Everett Young, field or
ganizer for the republican state CEN
trail committee, passed through AL
buquerque yesterday on his way south.
In commenting on political condi-
tons of the north section of this
state, Mr.. Young said:
The Republicans in the northern
tier of counties are showing n lively
robust interest in the political situa-
ton. In ColfaX county tine democrats
are split and have nominated two
tickets for county officers. One is
known as the regular democratic tic
ket and the other as the Wilson
democrats. This schism is bound to
aid the republican county ticket, the
republican judicial ticket and the
state republican ticket.
THE republicans of Taos county
held the biggest county convention
last Monday and Tuesday ever held
in that historic section. Complying
with the order of the state board of
health, the convention was conducted
in the open air. being held in placita
between the court house and Jail.
Monday afternoon, a committee of
five, from the convention waited
upon Hon. B. c. Hernandez, republic
can nominee for congress, and Ed
ward Everett Young, field organizer
for the republican state Central Com
mittee, and invited them to address
the convention. Young urged har-
mony and a full vote for the repub-
lican ticket. Hernandez spoke for an
hour and quarter, giving his O. K.
to each and every nominee on the
inl n haI iC
audience with him throughout and
made a deep and formable impress
sion for the state republican ticket.
Taos county will give a big republic
can majority with Larrazolo leading
the ticket there.
Rio Arriba county is in the re-
publican column with both feet this
campaign. Ed Sargent, one of the
countys successful business men.
and one of the popular men of the
state, is county chairman. He is
now making a tour of the big county
in his machine and if any one can
get out full republican vote it will
be Ed Rio Arriba's county ticket
was normal last week, and it will in
crease the republican vote in that
county. Sargent is expected to lead
ms tlChtl III MO ATGIDd, with HERMAN
DEE running neck and neck with him.
Some few republicans will give Gar
cha a complimentary vote, but Rio
Arriba's republican majority will be
large.
over in the alleged democratic
county of San Juan, there is to be as
usual, some political surprises. San
Juan instructed it's state delegates for
Pankey for governor, but since he ac-
eepted the second place he may carry
the state ticket with him up to a
maximum republican vote.
San Juan county has marked at
least one democratic candidate for
slaughter This is M, G. DeBaca. the
democratic candidate for state audit
or.
During the second session of the
first state legislature, DeBaca was in
the house. San Juan had constitu-
ton measure up which had been re-
ported out of committee without re-
commentator. 1t was brought out
on the floor of the house. DeBaca
opposed 1t with all of his ability. In
closing his speech he exclaimed: The
very fact that San Juan county wants
this measure, is sufficient reason
why every other county in the state
should oppose it,
