began yesterday morning over the
question of which party should !
have two out of the three judges
in each precinct. Democratic Lead |
ers last night declared that small
party differences had been ADJUST |

their party as the result OF the
controversy.

precinct will receive the ballot |

the Hubbell- Montoya case, had
bearing on the present political
campaign, was given yesterday
morning by Judge NJ. e. Hickey

judges of election out of the three
for each precinct in Bernalillo
county shall be appointed from the
republican party.
