Philadelphia, June 21-Long before
10 o'clock the hour set for the reas-
sembling of the convention the hall
was surrounded by an immense army
of people clamoring for admission.
When the doors opened they surged in
like a flood The heat gave promise
of being oppressive. Kansas delega-
ton. headed by Col. Burton, with
bright silk sunfowers pinned to their
lapels, aroused the first enthusiasm
as they marched down the main aisle
bearing white banner inscribed
kansas is for Roosevelt" The ut
most good nature was manifested.
The contest was over. 1t was to be
love feast. and jubilee which the day
was to witness. Governor Roosevelt
entered at 10 O'Clock. The audience
set up cheer.
Roosevelt was surrounded by dele
gates and showered with congratula-
tions. All the states were represent
ed in the welcome with Kansas, the
indomitable Roosevelt pioneers, lead
ing the demonstration. Another out
burst greeted the entrance of Sena-
tor Hanna. His progress was imped-
ed all the way down the aisle by dele
gates who insisted upon shaking his
hand.
He pushed through the throng, and
greeted Rough Rider Roosevelt warm
ly. With hand upon Roosevelts
shoulder, he whispered in his ear. For
two minutes they remained in close
communication. Henry Cabot Lodge,
permanent chairmar. reached the
stage at 1915 and there was an in
teresting conference of the leaders in

Of Mr. Catron's support, but that he Is
fit for the position is very questionable
in the minds Of many. He Is very
young. Is exceptionally bright, and Is
a good handler of men, and is an IL.
D. in the school Of Catron politics, but
he is uncrupulous. revengeful and ty-
rannica and has no right in office.
His advent into politics is romantic;
from newsboy he became Catron's Of
fee boy and during the celebrated Bor-
rego trial his conduct in trying to save
the Bofrego's was disgraceful and to
him are attributed most OF the plots
hatched to effect their escape, and
this boy now stands out on the politi-
cal horizon as Santa Fe county's next
chief pace officer It were well for
the Catronites to select some other
candidate for sheriff, but unfortunately
for them they may not be strong
enough 10 do that now, as Gus has sue
ceeded In putting Don Antonio Ortiz
Salazar, ex-Territorial treasurer, and
himself In the Catron camp. In jus
tice to Gus it can be said that he de
serves the Office for his loyalty to Cat
ron, but that Santa Fe county will suf-
fer if he is nominated there can be no
doubt.
Catron will not compromise with
the Otero faction. and on the other
hand the Otero faction headed by Gort-
ner, Ortiz and Solignac are anxious to
try conclusions with the Catron men.
The street has it that Don Antonio Or
tiz Saiazar, chairman of the republi-
can county committee, will resign, as
the Oteroites have a majority of the
committee. The Oteroites are said. to
be damnlng the New Mexican's" rival,

From the Silver City Independent"
The Las Vegas Optic, which, by
the way, is the best daily paper pub
lished in the Territory. is agitating
the question of an early democratic
convention, in order that sufficient
time may be provided for an intelli-
gent discussion of the public questions
of the day. The Independent" fully
sanctions such action. At the same
time, the date decided upon should
not be too early and for this reason:
It is usual for the county conventions
held throughout the Territory for the
purpose of nominating local Offices to
meet a few days prior to the Territor-
ial convention, in order that the dele
gates to said convention can be se-
lected at the same time. This OBJ
viates the necessity of another con-
vention for the particular purpose of
naming the delegates to the Territorial
convention, An exceptionally early
convention would, therefore, have the
effect of making equally lengthy coln-
ty campaigns or else create the neces-
sity of an additional county conven--
tion.

thirds Of the performers were little

en- and perfectly delivered. showing the
handiwork Of the sisters in good train

mfnstrels sang "Suanee River" and

participant deserves especial mention.
for every number OF the program was
beyond criticism.
The youth of the performers was
most remarkable when their work
is considered, little ones like Mar
guerite Ryan Cluxton playing with per
feet ease and grace music seemingly
better suited to the most advanced pu.

learning, where our daughters may re-
ceive the very best of training in every
branch OF study and there are few peo-
pie who will not admit the delicate
sweet refinement OF a convent bred
girl. The convent will be open for
scholars the first Tuesday in Septem-
Der. and it is to be hoped the sisters
will have large attendance,th the public
thereby showing their appreciation.

full view of the vast audience. At
1920 the big band from Canton Ohio,
the presidents home, entered the hall
and broke out with strains of the ma
tional anthem.
The audience rose and stood until
it was concluded. The Canton band
is here on the day for the nomination
of Mckinley, at the presidents own
request. He regards the band as his
"masckot" Through the-pit a squad
of men were busy distributing great
strands of red, white and blue pampas
plumes, which later were to cut a big
feature in the demonstration.
Among the early arrivals was Mrs.
Roosevelt. She was the cynosure of
thousands of eyes.
At 10:3 Sc Chairman Lodge, with three
raps of the gavel stilled the tumult
while the band ushered in the session
with a national anthem. AS the an
them closed the chairman announced
the opening invocation by Archbishop
Ryan. The distinguished prelate wore
the superb purple robe of his high sta

had risen and bowed their heads. then
his strong rich voice rolled out in
prayer. filed with the sentiment of
the deep responsibility. resting upon
the party here assembled.
The chair laid the amendment to
the rules offered yesterday, by Mr.
Quay, as unfinished business before
the convention. AS the cheers died
away Quay announced the withdrawal
of the amendment proposing a change
of rules one and twelve, referring to
representation in the national con-
ventions. This was accepted by the
southern delegates as concession to
them and they cheered wildly.
A thrill went through the vast aud
fence as Lodge announced:

the office of president of the United
States is now in order"
There was momentary shout which
the chairman punctured.
''The state of Alabama is recog--

on the chair and answered:

hero receiving his due, he calmly
awaited the subsistence of the tumult
At last he raised his hand, and the
demonstration came to an end. He
wore black cutaway coat, dark strip

about on the platform a man with a
camera planted the instrument direct

rushed man and his apparatus out Of
the aisle. Then Governor Roosevelt
began his speech. speaking in clear
full voice.
His sentences were delivered in a
manner that denoted careful study Of
each word. His argumentative style
kept the audience enrapport with him

Without Authority,

A petition was recently filed with the
District Commissioners by Mr.. G. W. Sax
ton and others praying that Frankfort
street from 2Sth street, Avalon Heights, be
opened to 2ith street, Langdon. Captain
Beach. the Engineer Commissioner who is
in immediate charge of the extension of
streets, has recommended to his associates
that the petitioners be informed as follows:
The Commissioners are without authori-
ty to begin condemnation proceedings for
the opening of Frankfort street and that
congressional action will be necessary be-
fore any thing can be done. AT its last
session Congress declined to authorize the
Improvement OF any more streets than
had been named in the previous session
neither or not the same view will prevail
at the coming session the Commissioners
are, OF course unable to say. The quickest
way to nave the street opened would be 10

insufficient Water Supply In Section
Northwest of Georgetown.
Messrs. Clark Brothers of Cos 11th street
have invited the attention Of the District
Commissioners to the necessity OF provid-
Ing some relief for that portion of the Dis
trict northwest of Georgetown bounded by
the Loughboro'. Ridge and New Cut roads,
including the settled portion of the Conduit
road.
Throughout all this section" state the
writer's, lowing to the grade being above
the reservoir, the residents have to provide
water service by means of windmils. Sim
ilarly, no public drainage facilities are pro-
vided, although the same could be done very
readily, owing to the topography Of the
land. The number of buildings is constant
ly increasing, and we know of others who
would commence building at once If any
improvements of the kind mentioned ex-
listed there
The single fare and fine service given by
the electric railroad brings this reservoir
section within seven minutes from George
town and about thirty minutes frcm the
White House. We understand that the
United States government will shortly re-
surface the Conduit road with flint having
already hauled the stone to the ground. If
1t gees step further as it should and pro-
vides electric lights, on account of the pop
ularity of this thOroughfare for driving and
from considerations of safety, we feel that
the assistance of the District government
over its jurisdiction will result in justice to
the taxpayers and residents of a deserving
AMI beautiful suburb
The communication will be considered by
the Commissioners in connection with the
preparation of their estimates for the next
fiscal year.
