A bright Saturday morning in Lordsburg drew hundreds who lined the streets for the Centennial Parade. Notables included Grand Marshal H. A. Saucedo, the Lordsburg Queens, Fort Bliss Army Band, and numerous civic groups, businesses, and local clubs.
Sixth District Judge Norman Hodges overturned a Lordsburg Magistrate Court ruling that found a local man guilty of electioneering near a polling place during the June primary. Morales, who ran for Hidalgo County Probate Judge and was defeated by Ena Mitchell, did not testify as witnesses described the prior warning by Officer Harris. The decision notes campaign literature may be present near polls but does not prove actual campaigning beyond reasonable doubt. The same judge also notes authorities will continue pursuing violations of election laws with similar facts.
