OFFICIAL. CANVASS
OF STATE VOTE
(Santa Fe New Mexican.)

The official count completed to
day by the state canvassing boarc
shows clearly the overwhelming
weight Of the sentiment for Hard
ing for president in New Mexico
and the close squeak had by the re.
publican candidate for governor.
The republican presidential electors
received majorities ranging from
9,997 to 10,S49. They ran ahead
of all candidates for state offices.
Judge M. c. Mechem, republican
candidate for governor, finished
away behind the rest of the repub-
lican ticket. His official plurality,
1921, was the lowest received by
any candidate on his ticket for state
office and that was attributed to
the fact that the attack from indie
pendent republican sources was di-
rected almost entirely at the guber-
udIOil CdlulCdJt. HC IldTulIlR
wave just did put him over.
Ed. Stafford, Santa Fe, republi-
can candidate for state auditor, led
the party's state ticket, getting
plurality of 7,827-more than 1000

election as corporation commission
er, finished only 16 votes behind
