MINERS LIKELY
AVERT STRIKE
Delegates in Executive Session Send
Policy to Scale Committee With
Power to Act.

Scranton, Pa, May 4.-With mo-
tion that the policy of the United Mine
Workers be carried back to the scale
committee with full power to act, the
delegates convened in executive ses-
sion this afternoon. If the motion
prevails it is not probable that the
scale committee will declare a strike.
The session lasted an hour when it was
announced that they agreed to refer
the matter to the scale committee.
There is every reason to believe that
a peaceful settlement can now be
made and the men who have been idle
since April 1st will soon be ordered
back to the mines.

RENDERS OPINION
Believes Pueblo Indians Have No
Right to Vote at General EIec-
tions in Territory.

In answer TO an inquiry from the
Hon Gregory Page, citizen and a
taxpayer residing in Gallup, McKin
ley County, an opinion was rendered
today BY Attorney General George w
Prichard as to whether Pueblo Indians
can exercise the right to vote at gen
eral elections. The matter has long
been discussed in different sections OF
the Territory, and the opinion is of
interest. 1t is as follows:
"Hon. Gregory Page, Gallup, N. M.
MY Dear Sir--I have your favor
of the Both ultimo, with enclosures.
You ask me for an opinion as to wheth-
er Pueblo Indians are voters at gen.
eral elections in this Territory. Or.
dinarily, inquiries coming to this Of

officials, members of territorial boards
and members Of the legislature, are
referred to the district attorney for

opinion, so far as | have an opinion,
upon the matter inquired about. The
only statute we have upon the subject
that l am aware of, is as follows:
Compiled Laws of 1897, section
1878. The Pueblo Indians of this
Territory, for the present, and until
they shall be declared by the Congress
of the United States to have the right
are excluded from the privileges of
voting at the popular elections Of the
Territory, except in the elections for
Overseers Of bitches to which they be-
long, and in the elections proper to
their own pueblos, to elect their Off
GERS according 10 their ancient Gus
TOMS
Pueblo Indians of New Mexico
have been held to be citizens of the
United States by the Supreme Court
of this Territory in the case Of Uni
ted States VS.. Lucero, Vol. /, page 422,
New Mexico Reports, and also in its
opinion OF March Sd, 1904, in the case
of the Territory VS.. Persons, in delin-
quent tax lists of Bernalillo County.
Our courts have not passed upon
the direct question as to the right of
these people to vote at general elec-
tions by reason OF their citizenship,
nor so far as l know upon the validity
of the section of the law above quot
ed. Constituting the law as it stands
upon the statute books of this Terri
tory they are excluded from the privi-
lege of voting at popular elections, ex-
cept in the election for overseers of
bitches, and the election of their own
officers in their pueblos, according to
their ancient customs.
Il think it advisable to accept the
law as 1t now stands on the statutes,
until the same is passed upon by our
courts. 1t is an open question as to
whether these people would be de.
clared voters or not, should the mat.
ter be properly presented to the
courts, and until the courts do pass

The retirement of the old -fogy no.
tion that the jury is the exclusive
Judge of the facts, and that the appel
late court will not interfere with a
verdict on the ground of insufficient
evidence to support it, is a decided
step in advance. Why Judgment
should be reversed on the ground of
technicalities, and the essential facts
should be regarded as beyond the field
OF review by the higher court, has
always seemed a conundrum. The
Staples decision has etfectuaIIy sat
upon that absurd doctrine. But it
would besjustsas we'll for the higher
conrt to go little further, and in
clude the findings of fact by the Judge
of the trial court as also subject to
review and correction. These findings
sometimes hide away little jokers
that do not tally with the real facts
While they are considered immune
from Investigation, the trial Judge Is
pretty much supreme. This immunity
ought to go with It's twin doctrine of
the inviolability of the jury's YER
sion of the evidence.

A Needed Reform.

In view of the tendency towar d the
exercise Of arbitrary power which has
developed in political committees, it
seems to US absolutely essential for
the welfare of the republican party for
the Forthcoming county convention
to lay down rules and limitations tor
the guidance OF that body. The fact
Is, heretofore, the central committee
has been left entirely to its own good
Judgment as to its powers. They
have never been defined by the party
in convention. The good sense of
the members, combined with the
knowledge that any imprudent act in
committing the party, will mill
tate against party success, is unusually
sufficient restraint. But cases will
occur when personal ends are placed
above the welfare of the party, and
hence the need of rules for committee
government that are plain and in
capable of being misunderstood. We
would suggest few salutary rules,
that seem applicable.
LIST. That no person holding any
salaried office, under federal, state
or county government, be eligible as
member of the county central COM
mittee.
I'd. That when member of the
committee accepts any office of
emolument, he be required to at once
resign from the county committee,
the vacancy so created to be filled by
the other members of the committee.
Sd. All meetings of the county
central committee shall be held only
after public notice in at least one
county newspaper. And meetings
must in all cases be held with open
doors, and members of the party may
freely express their views upon
matters under discussion.
4. The committee shall not under
any circumstances appoint any person
or persons as delegates to state or
county. or township conventions.
8. A member of the committee may
give his proxy to another member of
the committee, to represent him at
any meeting of the committee; but in
no case shall non. members be
admitted to voice in the delibera-
tions of the committee on a proxy.
6. This committee is not to be re-
garded as the exclusive, or final
arbiter IN the matter of recommended
lions for appointments to office.
With only one application for ap-
polntment, the chairman and other
members as such, are free to make
recommendation to the appointing
power. Where there are two or more
applicants for the same office, the
chairman is prohibited from commit
Ing the party of the entire county by
atfixing his signature as such to any
petition. Such contested application
shall be settled solely by the residents
of the locality concerned.

We EmphaticaIIy Protest.

The action of the republican county
central committee in the appoint
ment of delegates to the state and
district conventions, and the entail
ment of needless hardship upon the
republicans of the county, by the
selection of town distant from the
centre of population as the place for
holding the party convention for the
nomination of county ticket, was
received with mingled feeling of sur
prise, indignation and dismay by
republicans throughout tie county.
Surprise-that body of men selected
merely and solely for the purpose of
setting the party machinery in
motion, should presume to exercise
such imperial powers as to usIIrp the
functions of the party, and appoint
themselves delegates as the embodi-
ment of the sentiment of republicans
generally. Indignation - that the
masses of republican voters should
be branded with humiliation by such
unprecedented and high handed pro-
ceedings. DIsmay-because of the
harmful effect such arbitrary methods
are calculated to exert upon the
particular candidates they we're in
tended to help, and also because OF
the tendency to injuIe the candidates
upon the republican ticket The
Ledger would be untrue to itself, and
unworthy of the confidence of its
supporters, we're it to remain silent
in the presence of this new and para
mount issue that has been so audacl-
ously Haunted in the face of the
republican party. Stalwart repubIl-
cans who have struggled for genera
tion to advance the interests of the
party in Amador county, who follow
ed its banner through defeat and
victory, who have seen it grow from
a thing of small beginnings to the
dominant sentiment of the county,
and who, moreover, have unfaIter-
ingly worked for its ascendancy in
the local government, are staggered
for the time being at this browning
assault from the house OF its friends;
while political enemies are CORES
pondingly elated at the stupendous
blunder of their opponents.
10 be otherwise than outspoken in
denunciation of such action might be
interpreted as an endorsement of or
submission to the acts of dictator
ship, and therefore republicans in
every town and nook of Amador are
talking aloud. And we greatly mis-
take the spirit of republicans general
ly If they tamely submit to this
treatment. The circumstances call
for action as we'll as words. Some
thing must be done-and quickly
done to thwart the scheme of the
schemers. 1t behooves republicans
to assert the authority that belongs
to them, and which they have never
delegated to county committee.
10 this end repn blicans are invited
to meet in jackson, on Monday, next
August Ii, to consider the situation,
and take steps, if need be, to call
primaries throughout the county for
the election of delegates to state
and district convention, to contest
the seats of the self appointed deIega-
tion.
