AT THE HOTELS.


J. Leaby, Of Ration, Territorial district
attorney. and Mr. William J. Sparks,
former mayor or santa re.
We have a busy. prosperous, and con-
tented people in New Mexico said Mr.
Leahy, "and our growth is Of the most
solid character. In the Northern end 0f
the Territory. where l live. there is great
activity in railway building and In the
production Of coal Our sheep and cattle
owners are realizing big profits. and TO be
a sheen man nowadays is almost synom-
ymous with plutocrat.
New Mexico you can set down as the
most enthusiastic Roosevelt section Of the
United States. Our people are for him
unreservedly, and nothing would suit
them better than to have him serve an
other term"
The nomination OF Charles ". Haskell
for governor Of Oklahoma was interesting
to Ohio politicians. remarked Francis 3.
Gessner, Of that State. at the New VIII
lard last night Eight years ago Has
kell wanted the Democratic nomination
for governor OF Ohio. He made a great
fight and a showing in convention that
was remarkable, considering the fact that
Haskell was not very well known save In
his own section Of the State He lived
then az Ottawa, modest town below
Toledo. but he had business connections
throughout that section and in the Wall
street part of New York.
Haskell failed Of the Ohio nomination.
and as Ohio did not offer a very inviting
prospect for Democrats he migrated 10
Oklahoma There he has prOspered. and
he won the nomination for governor
after hard fight He is a man Of tre-
mendous energy and longheadedness. In
his Ohio days he was associated pretty
closely with Senator Brice. and possibly
learned few lessons Of value in a new
political field. Haskell has been aided
much by a very clever wife. who was
noted in Ohio for her sound sense and
faith in her husband. and in Oklahoma
she has worked untiringly 10 make her
husband both rich and famous. After
service as governor we may look 10 see
Haskell come 70 the Senate, and there
Will be much doing once he enters the
Washington circle
Mr. Paul c. Barth, who was until re-
Gently mayor OF Louisville. Is at the New
Willard with his three fine-looking boys
who constitute his entire family They
have been on an extensive pleasure tour
in Eastern cities and will wind up their
vacation in viewing the sights Of Wash
ington.
When the highest tribunal OF our
State. % said Mr. Barth, decided that my
position as mayor was invalidated by
election frauds. I was quite willing TO
step down and out 1 had never cared
TO be prominent in politics and oflcehoId-
ing had no fascination for me. To be
mayor Of Louisville was an honor which
I accepted at considerable personal sacri-
fee. for I have always had a remunera-
tive business that needed my entire time
and attention. At the same time I have
the satisfaction Of knowing that my ad-
ministration was highly satisfactory TO
the vast majority Of my fellOw-Citizens
and that during my incumbency many
important municipal measures were con-
summated. particularly the S4000000 bond
issue providing for a thorough sewerage
system. a project that had been hanging
FIRE for many years To have accom-
plished and to have lowered the tax rate
We're achievements Of sufficient value and

The race between John Sharp Williams
and Gov. Vardaman is so close that no
living man can foretelI the result" said
Nj R. D. Haynes. OF Mississippi. at the
Arlington
People in this part Of the country who
assume that Mr.. Williams IS sure Of win
ming do not understand the conditions.
The governor 10 begin with. is uni
versally popular. He has made partic-
ularly good record as chief executive. In
stead of being a negrO-hater, he has done
more 10 protect the negroes from nl-ussge
than the governor of any State in the
South. He is opposed to social equality.
but in that he is in no wise different from
the vast majority OF our people. Ny OBJ
servation in going about the State is that
the partisans Of the two men are almost
evenly divided. For every Williams man
there is a shouter for Vardaman, and it
is possible that the successful candidate
win win by the shortest sort Of margin"
i voted once for John ". Daniel for
United States Senator. and I expect 20
cast another vote for hiEl for that Office
in the Virginia legislature" said State
Senator Lewis H. Machen. of Alexandria.
in the Raleigh lobby last evening.
1T Will be the coldest day in the
history Of the Old Dominion when her
people weary Of conferring their highest
honors upon Maj. Daniel. The South has
how many brilliant and able men. but in
breadth of craftsmanship. In legal skill,
and in oratory OF the highest order, John
". Daniel ranks with the foremost Of
this or past generations Men of his cal
iber and equipment are needed now, for
il seems 10 me that the country viii
want the benefit Of judicious and con-
counsel. Mai Daniel is pre-
a conservative force, and his
influence can always be counted on as
opposed to the sOcialistic and radical ten
dencies that seem 70 have obtained an
growth throughout the nation"
Pasadena, where make my winter
home, is one Of the pleasantest residence
towns in the country said Mr.. J. E.
formerly Of Minneapolis, at
the New Willard.
'It is a place of $1,000 people. and there
is not saloon in it's limits. which TO
many people is a great recommendation.
tnOugh the thirsty can always get solace
by trip TO Los Angeles, only ten miles
distant. Many well-tO-do fasteners own
fine homes IN Pasadena, which they Oc-
cupy part of the year. The citizenship is
Of the highest grade. and the whole at
mosphere of the place congenial 10 re-
fined and cultured people"
