ONE DOLLAR FROM
EVERY REPUBLICAN
To Pay Costs of Coming Campaign
Rallying Cry "Prosperity and
Roosevelt"

New York, Aug. 1.-Congressman
Sherman, chairman of the Republican
congressional committee, said yester-
day that the response to his appeal to
each Republican voter to contribute
81 to the campaign fund has been
very satisfactory.
I'VE figured" he said, that prob
ably not more than ten Republicans
in one hundred, will see the appeal
If one of every ten sends us a dol
lar, we will have enough to meet the
expense of the campaign"
Asked what the rallying cry of the
campaign would be, Sherman an
swered:
Prosperity and Roosevelt, and you
may add that the record of the last
Congress will also be made a part
of the argument to the voters. We
have every reason to be proud of that
record"

"It's a grand country, with great
possibilities and wonderful resour-
ces,' remarked the distinguished visit
or this morning to a reporter Of the
New Mexican when asked for an ex-
preston of his views of the South
west. "All 1t needs is development.
The question of water supply seems
to be the nA sperplexing and 1t is
being gradually solved Where irr-
cation is impracticable and the rain

Mr.. Stockslager left this forenoon
fer Washington via the Santa Fe Rail

on the officials at the local federal
land Office and at the Office of the
Bureau of immigration, where he was
furnished with copies of books and
pamphlets issued by the bureau and
descriptive of the resources and con-
ditions Of the Territory and its sew

very glad to get this literature as 1t
would prove of great use to him, es-
pecially in his practice before the gen

AS to statehood. Mr.. Stockslager
stated that he has always been in fa-
vor of separate statehood for New
Mexico, believing the people of the
Territory to be amplyFable to manage
an effective and efficient state govern
ment; as to joint statehood, he
thought that, as there was no chance
for single statehood for some time to

TRAVELLED INCOGNITO
Mas Attorney General n. s. radley
Of Missouri In Santa Fe
Monday?

Was H. s. Hadley, the bright young
attorney general Of Missouri, who ha'
been in the limelight lately in the
prosecution Of the Standard Oil Com
pany, a visitor In Santa Fe Monday
and Tuesday? That is question
which was raised this morning by a
comparison of notes.
Monday afternoon a stranger ap-
peared at the Palace hotel and regist-
cred as H. s. Hadley, Kansas City"
He was accompanied by friend, who
put his name down on the register
as Frank Blake with the ditto mark
under Kansas City. The clerk had
them sized up as travelling men, but
before night he discovered his mis-
take.
Mr.. Hadley visited the rooms OF the
historical society later in the day and
In registering there put his city ad-
dress down as Jefferson City, Missouri.
Those who saw him during his brief
stay here say that his features were
identical with pictures they have seen
of the young attorney general, and
they are confident that the visitor here
was none other than Missouri's legal
watchdog
Attorney General Hadley's head
quarters are at the state capital and
his initials are also III. s.
Messrs. Hadley and Blake left for
the east Tuesday morning. They came
from California. If this Mr.. Hadley
and Missouri's attorney general are
one and the same person, he TOOK
great care net to let it be known dur
ing his visit to Santa Fe.

man Richard Huber and locked in the
county Jail, charged with securing
money to the amount of $25 on a
worthless check at Estancia. Justice
William Gregg cashed the check
drawn by Jordan on Roswell bank
after P. j. Kelly of Estancia had en-
dorsed 1t. The check was returned by
the bank as not good. Mounted Off
Ger Huber left with Jordan for Es-

gun" which is guaranteed to "f1x the

Of peculiar construction so arranged
that when the wolf takes hold of
piece of meat tied to string, the
gun quickly circles around until it Is
in line with the animal and then ex-
plodes.
Jordan has had considerable sue
cess with the gun, so the officers say,
and Captain Fornoff complimented it
in his characteristic manner by say
ing:

the same, I'd hate to be the first wolf

WHEN A BACA
MEETS A BACA
Attorney Makes
Charges Against
Officials.
BEFORE GOV. HAGERMAN
Malfeasance in Office and
Perversion of Public Funds
and Property.

Attorney Elfego Baca, arrived this
morning from Socorro in order to
prosecute the charges he filed some
time ago with Governor Hagerman
charging malfeasance in Office and per-
version of public funds and public
property against Leandro Baca sher-
iff, and Eduardo Jaramillo and Alfredo
Armijo, county commissioners of So
corro County.
1t is alleged by Mr.. Baca that Sher-
If Baca purchased sundry articles for
the use of county prisoners from
Eudardo Jaramilla. chairman of the
board, who has a small store about
eleven miles south of Socorro and
that these were not used for the pur-
pose for which they were purchased.
This Mr. Baca claims shows con-
spiracy between these two county Of
ficials ito do the county" The bill
in this case amounted to $64.
Goods Not Used For County Purposes.
In another bill amounting to $50,
contracted by the sheriff with Abram
Abyeta, also Socorro merchant, Mr..
Baca alleges that similar state OF
affairs exists and that the goods were
not used for county purposes. He al
so calls attention to the fact that the
sheriff received so cents per diem for
the feeding and maintenance of prison
ers and Is not allowed under the law
to purchase other supplies for their
use or the use of the Jail. 1t is al
legged by Attorney Baca that Sheriff
Baca has converted these supplies to
his own use and benefit. Attorney
Baca has true copies of bills in these
cases, which he has filed with the
charges At the last meeting of the
Board Of Socorro County Commission
ers, the board allowed the treasurer
and ex-officio collector ST. for postage
stamps, alleged to have been spent
on county business.
Warm Enough to do Without Wood.
Mr.. Baca claims that as the collector
receives 4 per cent of all taxes col
lected, he should pay for his own port
age and that the county should not
pay for the same. Another bill that
is objected to is one for coal ana
wood amounting to $67 furnished dur
ing the summer and Attorney Baca
is of the opinion that it is plenty
warm enough in the Socorro County
Jail during the summer months with
out the use of coal and wood.
There are other serious charges and
it is understood that District Attorney
H. A. Woolford and Attorney G. Fitch
will aid Attorney Baca in the prose-
cution before the Governor. The date
will be determined after the arrival
of Mr.. itch who is now in the north
western part of the Territory and is
expected here Saturday or Sunday.

HEARST FOR COVER.
NOR OF NEW YORK
Democratic State Convention to Be
Held at Buffalo-DeIegates In
structed.

New York, Aug. 1.-The Democratic
state committee voted today to hold
the next state convention in Buffalo
on September 25th. w. ]. Connors, OF
Buffalo, said the whole Buffalo dele
CATION will be instructed for Hearst
for governor and nothing could pre-
vent his nomination.
Tammany Man to Nominate Hearst
New York, August 1.-Charles F.
Murphy has planned what he consid-
ers will be the biggest coup in the
history Of New York politics. He has
agreed to have a Tammany hall dele
gate place William R. Hearst in nomi-
nation for governor and to throw the
whole strength of his organization to
elect him. This is his part Of treaty
that Hearst, who is positive Of elec-
tion with Tammany support, will
carry out Hearst, in return, pledges
himself, If elected to remove Mayor
Mcclellan from Office.
Murphy has been gnashing his teeth
ever since Mcclellan began to slight
and ignore him and build up per-
sonal machine. Advantage to Murphy
by the election of Hearst might accure
also from the removal Of William
Travers Jerome from the district at
torney's Office.
It Murphy is able to carry out the
deal be has set his mind upon a most
remarkable political situation will sue
ceed. The people Of New York will be
shown the boss Of ,Tammany hall
working for the man he opposed in the
last campaign for the purpose Of oust-
ing from Office the mayor he and his
organization placed in power.
Murphy has been assured by upstate
leaders that the sentiment above the
Harlem river is all Hearst especially
in the manufacturing and railroad
towns. And Murphy knows full we'll
that Mr.. Hearst polled big vote in
this city last fall, and he has not
not grown any weaker What the
Kings county organization will do is a
subject of small moment to the Hearst
boomers. New York county, Erie
county and an upstate combination
that Mr.. Connors. Mr.. Mack and Mr..
| Mcclure and others have promised
to effect, will be sufficient to swing
the state convention. The Hearst
managers expect that Kings county
will get into line.
