Jerome May be Candidate.

New York, Aug. 11.-Interest
in political circles was aroused
today by the rumor, which seem
ed to come from an authoritative
source, that District Attorney
Jerome has expressed a willing
ness to run for Governor either
on an independent ticket or. as
an independent Democratic can
didate indorsed by the Demo-
cratic organization. An editorial
paragraph in the New York Sun
added zest to the gossip. The
paragraph reads:
I'VE understand that Mr.. Will
liam Travers Jerome is consider
ing the propriety Of offering him
self as an independent candidate
for the Governorship Of this State.
IF Mr.. Jerome runs, Mr.. Jer-
ONE will be elected"

LMCHER CONVICTED
South OarOlinian Who Helped
Lynch Negro Murderers of a
White Family Convicted.

Salisbury, N. O., Aug. TO-
What is said to be the first in
stance of the conviction Of lynch
er in the history of the state was
furnished here tonight when
George Hall, white, exconvict of
Montgomery county, North Caro-
lima, who was one of the partici-
pants that Monday night lynched
three negroes in Jail for the
murder of the Lyerly, was found
guilty of conspiracy in connec-
tiOn with that crime, and was
sentenced to fifteen years at
hard labor in the penitentiary,
the maximum sentence provided
by law. The jury was out but
thirty five minutes. Halls coun-
sci has appealed on the ground
that Governor Glenn was in At
lantic City when the special
term at which Hall was tried
was ordered, and that, being out
of the states bounds, he had no
jurisdiction.

Folsom Swept By Flames.

Folsom, N. M, Aug, 1l.-A
disastrous fire which for . time
threatened the destruction Of
the entire town broke out early
yesterday morning at this place.
Before the flames were finally
subdued the business section
was badly damaged. The estim.
ated loss is over 100000. The
origin of the fire is a mystery.
During the dark hours Of morn
ing, Mrs. Annie AdamsOn, pro-
prietor of the principal restaurant
in the town, was awakened from
her slumber to find her room in
flames. Realizing her danger
she fed into the street in her
night clothes and gave the alarm.
The fire spread rapidly and all
of the property on the south side
of the main business block was
destroyed before the flames were
extinguished.

The Situation in New York.
The New York Herald says

Inc new lOfK doraIu says.
Problems which will require
much skill in management to
solve confront both political
parties at the outset of the cam
paign Of 1908. In this State
there are probably more compli-
cations than in others owing to
factional fights. Then the gen.
eral character of the election
adds to the difficulty, for not
only is a Governor to be chosen,
and a full set of State officers,
but new Judges, new members
of both branches of the Legisla-
ture and new Representatives in
Congress.
This would be difficult enough
in ordinary times with a straight
contest between Democrats an
Republicans, but with prospect
Of an independent ticket headed
by Hearst in the field the calcu-
lations of political manageas be-
come very much more involved.
If the independent movement
is to extend all along the line
and to include legislative and
Congressional elections, that is
one thing, if it is to be inde-
pendent in part, and a fusion in
part more confusion than has
ever prevailed before will be the
result.
So far as the public is officially
advised the Hearst party intends
to name an Independent ticket
all along the line, from Govern
or to Coroner, but such program
is incompatible with expendiency
and in many localities . fusion
of the Hearst party with Demo
Gratis or Republicans may be ex,
pected. How far such fusior
will go and which way it vii
cut are questions which will give

Labor Antagonist Aroused.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE
decision Of the Panama Com
mission to employ Chinese con-
tract labor has aroused the Bit
ter antagonism of the American
Federation Of Labor. President
Gompers gave out a statement,
saying it seemed that those in
charge Of canal construction re-
garded neither law nor principle.
He condemned the annulment Of
the eight-houF law in canal work
and said if eight hours were suf-
ficient for a days work in the
United States, then ten, fifteen
and even more hours in the
"pestilential and miasmatic at-
mosphere Of the Panama zone
are not only improper, but out
rageous and brutal"

DEMOCRATIC
REPAIRING
MACHINE NET AND PATCHED
The Regularly Nominated Ticket
and Adjourned, Harmony CD
Prevailing.

The central committee and
candidates of the Democratic
machine met at this place last
Saturday and, forming itself in
to q repair shop, proceeded to
patch the regularly nominated
ticket. This patching was made
necessary by the action of the
committee, aided by candidates,
who didn't like the personel of
the nominated ticket as a whole.
The convention overlooked it's
sop to the Mexicans," and the
more the candidates looked at
that blunder the "skeerder
they got" till finally enough
courage was worked up to ask J,
L. johnson, nominee for COM
missioner for the Tularosa pre-
cinct, to resign in order to give
the place to a Mexican citizen.
Of course Mr.. johnson resigned,
and all this monkey business
caused Mr.. Geo. Gibson to re-
sign, and then another hole was
to be patched.
The committee put Sr. E.
Prado, the old commissioner, on
the ticket in place of MIR. John
son, and DR.. j. r. Gilbert in
place of Geo. Gibson, thus the
ripped ticket was patched up
with new and old goods making
the whole thing look entirely
out of h-a-r-m-o-n-y.
Sr. Prado has served long and
wasn't very anxious to become .
candidate again. DR.. Gilbert is
a very busy physician and can't
afford to jeopardize his large
practice and interests by canvas
sing for the Office, thus it is seen
that in place of the regularly
nominated candidates two un-
willing candidates have been
placed on the ticket. Comment
is unnecessary.

Minister'S Toast.

A minister in offering a toast
at an editorial convention, said !:
To save an editor from starva-
tion take his paper and pay for
it promptly. To save him from
bankruptcy advertise in his pa
per literally.
It.is just such rot as this that
brings country newspaper maxi
ing into altogether too much i'll
repute. The average country
editor isn't half so much in need
Of charity as 40 per cent of the
country preachers. The sooner
this nonsense of connecting the
weekly editor with charity work
is cut out, the better it will be
for the editor.
