Plan for Joining Parties.

Resolutions commencing the
unification of the two republican
parties in Bernalillo county were
adopted by the majority vote of
the republican county central COM
mitteemen at their meeting yes
terday. The action was the result
of considerable discussion which
was followed by a conference be-
tween a special committee Of the
republican central committee and
leaders of the Independent repub-
licaus.
Heated discussion followed the
presentation of the resolution by
NJ. 3. Otero, one of the special re-
publican committee men. The
resolution, which was in the form
of a report, was bitterly fought by
Elfego Baca, Charles Chadwick, NJ
C. Ortiz and several other leaders,
all of whom, however, changed
their minds when the entire reso-
luton was fully explained and vot-
ed to make the adoption unani-
nous.
The resolution recommending
the unification of the party, is
still but vaguely understood by
several leaders, who expressed
their opinion that it could not be
worked out.
