A COLOSSAL SLAUGHTER

May be there are a few who
are not aware of the fact that
the biggest closing out sale in
the history of Roswell is now
in progress at the store of For
syth & Company. 1t stands
alone as the most colossal slau-
ghter of high class merchandise
in the southwest. The people
have been fooled here on closing
out sales, but you can fool some
of the people all of the time, but
you can't fool all of the people
all of the time. They are crowd
ing to the store with the cost
mark clipped from The Record
and are practically waiting on
themselves. This is a Closing
Out Sale to quit and the great
sacrifice is being made to do it
quick. The fixtures as we'll as
stock are for sale. Every man,
woman and child in Roswell is
now aware of the fact that it is
the opportunity of d life time
and they are acting accordingly
Now is the accepted time to buy
to-day if you can get waited on
Store open until 9 o'clock at
night. The Forsyth stock is
one of the greatest aggrega-
ti0ns of high class Merchandise

indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 22-Thc
formal letter of Senator Fairbanks
in which he accepts the Republican
nomination for vice president, was
made public today 1t is in part as
follows:
The Hon. Elihu Root, Chairman of
Notification Committee:
My Dear Sir:-In accordance with
the promise made when you formally
notified me OF my nomination for
Vice President, I avail myself OF
this opportunity to submit to you,
and through you, to my fellow-citi-
zens, some further views with res
pect to the questions in issue before
1.-The people.
The principles which are SO frank
ly and feIicitously expressed in the
platform adopted by the Republican
national convention meet with my
heartiast approval. In the main they
have been subjected to the test of
actual experience and have been
found to be well suited to our indus
trial and national needs. They have
brought us to a high state of mate
rial development, and have made the
nations name respected among the
powers of the earth.
The utterances of political parties
must be interpreted in the light OF
that practical construction which they
have put upon them when intrusted
with power. 1t is not alone what
they say, but what they will do that
should weigh in determining their
capacity to administer public affairs
We have had two administrations
in the last seven years which have
been governed by the same policies.
We may consult the trade reports ir
vain to discover when the one ended
and the other began. Both We're
obliged to make vast expenditures for
much needed public works. The rap
idly expanding needs of the govern
ment business must be met. The ma
tional equipment must keep pace
with our national growth, yet always
with due regard to the principles of
sound economy in public expenditure.
We have pursued no parsimonious
policy on the one hand nor indulgctl
in extravaganza on the other We
have measured the public expense by
the public necessity.
The convention did well in its hear
ty commendation of the administra-
ton of President Roosevelt. This is
sharply challenged by the opposition.
We accept the issue with confidence.
The President assumed the RESPONSE
bilities of chief executive with a
pledge to- carry out the policy of his
beloved and lamented predecessor.
He keat the cabinet of President Me-
Kinley, composed of statesmen of
eminent ability, in whom the coun-
try placed entire confidence. He
carried forward the uncompletad
work faithfully and successfully. The
pledge has been kept scrupulously;
the promise has been fulfilled. Peace
and good order have been maintain
ed. Domestic and foreign trade have
increased and relations of amity have
been preserved with foreign powers.
Senator Fairbanks here dwells on
the foreign policy of the administra-
tion, speaking of it with approval.
THE convention wisely declared
in favor of protection which guards
and develops our industries" and
that "the measure of protection
