and there was never any doubt
from the time ofthe presentation
Of the first petition how Judge

heard it claimed that the fact
that Judge Armstrong was open

The county ticket the Repub-
licans have nominated for the
votes of the people in Bates
county is all right and certainly
deserves the active support of
every republican in the county
and should have the support Of
many democrats. If all the Re
publicans are at the poles on
election day the time when pc.
htical work counts for the most
"a large part if not all the ticket
will be elected. A large major
ity Of the people Of the county
want the ticket elected. A
few democrats viii vote the en-
tire ticket and be no less Demo
Gratis when they do it. Others
will vote for a part OF the ticket,
and others will not go to the polls
but the vast majority OF the Dem
ocrats will be on hand. So get
out and show the people that you
are proud Of the achievements of
your party, appreciate the situa.
ton and will not disappoint your
friends who wish you success.

The Republicans have in the
field splendid State, District
and county tickets that every Re-
publican has reasons to be proud
of. There is not a man of them
who is not well qualified for the
Office for which he has been nom
mated. Each and every man of
them was fairly and honestly
nominated and stand for square
deal in every respect. The ticket
being right and harmony pre-
vailing in the party the work now
to do is to get out and vote. The
record of the party in State as
well as National affairs has the
approval of the people and de-
serves to have their support at
the polls. If the Republicans
get out their vote there is no
doubt as 50 the result. There is
no real substantial reason why
Democrats as well as Republi-
cans should not support the poll
cy Of the party in both State and
Nation.

the public good have almost out
ran the imagination. Did you
ever notice in his Pennsylvania
speech made recently, that he is
deeply interested in legislation
looking TO reforming the child
labor evil. Even the grimy little
breaker boys in the mines have a
representative in the executive
of the nation, one who knows
their condition and who will use
every means in his power to
widen the possibilities Of the
most humble and youthful of his
people. The services of such a
man must not be hindered.
There are but a pitiful few who
attribute wrong motives and
lack of stamina TO the President.
Senator Stone is attacking the
personality of the President in
his Missouri speeches. He only
lessons himself in the estima-
ton of his constituents, for the
confidence that Missouri had in
Roosevelt was evidenced by his
vote two years ago, and since
that time / have heard no man
say he was sorry he voted for the
President. Time has only prov
ed the worth of the President
and made more of a figure in the
eyes of the world.
Hugh Blay and I went to hear
Mr.. Atkeson recently as you
know we arranged to do, He
discussed the issues of the day
in an able and fair manner, He
is capable and worthy the posi-
ton he seeks. A man fresh
from the district, knowing its
wants and acquainted with it's
people he appeals to the voters
as one of them, not as a man who
visits them occasionally and who
when among them is a thousand
miles distant in manner. The
next congress will be of the same
political complexion as is this,
and the argument in favor of Mr.
Atkeson is that he can do much
more for the district than a mi
nority member. In part of the
district Mr.. DeArmond is prom.
Using TO keep a certain bill from
being reported out of the Judi.
diary committee. The commit
tee has eighteen members, six Of
them being Democrats, so it
hardly seems reasonable that the
congressman can have his way
in the committee. The fact is
that the Legislation we have prof
tied by has been passed in spite
of the opposition of Mr.. Dear
mond.
As We went home from the
meeting Hugh talked Of the
speech, the speaker, and the is.
sues before us and said George,
we have mighty little TO talk
about this year. Things are
moving along all right and l am
going TO lay aside prejudice and
help you fellows let well enough
alone. am an admirer Of the
President and intend TO help you
send a man TO congress TO aid and
sustain him by vote and voice. "
OF course / am glad Hugh feels
that way. We have always dis.
cussed political matters freely
and frankly and sometimes each
OF US have helped the other a
little when the conventions put
the wrong kind of a man on our
tickets, but this Is the first time
he has helped us nationally. Il
think he is but one Of many who
will do likewise, and with the
help Of you yourg fellows who
will start right we will give the
old sixth a place in the doing Of
the great tasks before the nation.
Hurry home, and be prepared
TO stay, for in these latter years
YOU will be needed bv vonr mn.

SEARCH CONTINUES.
County in Vicinity Of City Being Look
ed Over for Traces OF
Merriman.

Under Sheriff J. l.. Lopez, spent yes
terday afternoon, riding through the
country about Santa Fe In a search
for traces of George Merriman, elec-
trician and engineer, who mysteriously
disappeared from the Claire Hotel last
Saturday.
Deputy Sheriff Lopez says that he
fears Merriman is dead, whether from
the hands of a murderer or from wan
dering away from the city and dying
of exposure in the foothills. The
search yesterday was without result.
The officers at work on the case
have received a number of reports
from persons who claim to have seen
man answering closely to the des'
cription as published in the New Mex
lean but the officers say they think
some mistaken cases of identity have
been made.
II am no nearer solution OF this
mystery than when l started to work
on the case," said Under Sheriff Lo
PEI today. However, shall continue
the search until am satisfied that fur
ther work would be useless"

OPINION GIVEN.
BY Interstate Commerce Commission
in Favor of Two Railroad
Lines.

Washington, D. c., Jan. 5.-In an
opinion by Chairman Knapp, the in
terstate commerce commission today
announced it's decision in the case of
the st. Louis.Indiana Grain Company
against the Illinois Central Railway
and Mobile and Ohio Railway, in favor
Of the railroads. 1t was held that the
fact that the through rates are less
than the sum of the in and out rates,
Is not of itself valid ground of OBJ
lection nor Is it unlawful for the de.
PENDANTS to maintain re-consignment
rates which are higher in some cases
than their proportions Of through
rates, and also that the fact that the
re-consignment rate Is sometimes the
same as the proportions of the other
rate does not warrant the interfer-
ence of illegal conduct or support the
charge of discrimination.

1t Is Feared Present
Measures May
Stir Russia.
REWARDS PAID FOR ARMS
Police Allow Search of Per.
son and Quarters by
House Porters.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 5.--The govern.
ment's victory over the revolutionists
has been quite decisive, although open
revolt continues in many places in the
interior.
Movement StifIed.
The military is employed merciless-
ly and gradually the movement is be-
ing stifed. These fires of revolt,
however, are smothered but are not
eXtinguished, and the main fear Is
that the government encouraged by
its success will fall into the very
error of which the revolutionists were
guilty and attempt to press its advan-
tage too far.
Already there are signs that the pol
icy of repression may be carried TO a
point which IS sure to again arouse
the resentment and discomfort of the
classes which shrank from the vio-
lent program of the Reds
Rewards Paid.
In St. Petersburg for instance, the
wholesale perquisitions of police have
been succeeded by the particularly Of
fensive measure of the prefect of po-
lice which practically gives the Dvor.
niks, or house porters, free hand to
search lodgings for arms and suspi-
cious persons for documents, Offering
them a premium of fifty cents for the
discovery of every revolver or bomb,
and twenty-five cents for a knife.
Such measures naturally will arouse
the cupidity Of the house porters and
restore the intolerable system of per.
sonal espionage.
Hundreds Killed.
Tukum, Courland Russia, Jan. s.
Five hundred and eighty persons were
killed or wounded during the recent
revolution here.

ALL ACCOUNTS OF
OFFICERS RIGHT
Says Territorial Au-
ditor Charles v.
Stafford.
NO DEFALCAT|ONs IN 1905
People Have Good Officials
Who Do Work Well-.-
Checking System Used.

'As a result of our system of check
ing up the accounts Of treasurers and
collectors there have been no defaul.
ters in these offices in New Mexico
during the year just passed"
This statement was made by Chas.
V. Stafford, travelling auditor of the
Territory, who has recently returned
from checking accounts in Eddy and
Roosevelt Counties. He was absent
about two weeks and in that time
visited the towns OF Carlsbad, Artesia
and Portales.
Correction of Mistakes.
There are twenty-five Counties In
this Territory" said Mr.. Stafford.
and, while do not think all men are
dishonest, yet there Is always the pos.
slbllity that defaulter will turn up
at any time. The greatest check on
such work is the fear of detection and
that fear Is always with an officer
when he knows that his accounts are
apt to be called into question at any
time. During some of my trips in the
past have quite frequently discover.
ed mistakes amounting to several hun
dred dollars in the accounts of off,
cials. However, when their attention
was called to them, they at once drew
their personal checks and placed them
to the credit of their respective coun.
ties.
"Supposing those mistakes had not
been found; they would have been de-
faulters, although they never had any
idea of stealing public funds. I have
been greatly aided in my work by the
fact that most of the public funds are
on deposit in banks and is there to
show for itself This simplifles the
work greatly.
"In nearly all the surrounding States
and Territories during the year 1905
there were defaulter cases, some of
them for large amounts, while on this
side of the line we have gone happily
along In the straight and narrow
road.
Good Officers.
New Mexico citizens should feel
proud of their officers-county treas
urers and collectors.
"The new depository law which re-
quires the treasurers to designate the
banks in which funds are deposited
and also requires of the banks bonds
sufficient to insure the safety Of said
funds is another safeguard which l
cannot commend too highly. The
county treasurers of the Territory, as
well as the bank officials, favor 1t and
are complying with its terms. have
no difficulty in that respect.
81 think that New Mexico Is as free
from fraud in the way Of defalcations
Of county funds as any State or Ter
ritory in the Union. 1t Is my desire
to keep 1t 50 in so far as I can"
Mr.. Stafford suffered severely from
the cold and was glad to be able to
return to the temperate cline Of Santa
To
