mittee believes the citizens should
consider seriously what is best in

tration, and mas accordingly called a
mass convention to discuss the best
plan of nominating a ticket that will
be satisfactory to the business inter
ests of the town. The call is signed
by all the members of the committee
except Whitema1 of the Fifth ward.
The purpose of this meeting is advi-
sorry, and the nomination of a ticket
will come later. The Record is hear
tiIy in favor of the move. This is a
time when great responsibility rests
upon the Democratic party, and the
voters and taxpayers should be con-
suited before any decisive action N
taken by the committee.
The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1908-02-26

The whole truth of the matter is
that the Record has no particular can'
didate to favor for any Office in the
city. What we insist upon is that
the Democratic party has plenty of
good material to select from, and
there is no excuse for allowing a
handful of whispering politicians to
select the ticket without consulting
the voters. Let us have a business
administration with the fullest public
ity as to what is being lone with the
of the taxpayers.

New York, June 30.-Mayor George
B. McClellan's title to the office Of
mayor of New York was made clear
by Justice Lambert's decision in the
supreme court today when he order
ed jury to render a verdict that
Mcclellan was duly elected mayor in
1905. w. X. Hearst has been contest
ing the mayors right to the office
practically ever since the election and
as a result Of his charges of fraud in
the original count of the ballots the
legislature passed law enabng q
recount. Attorney General w. S.
jackson then instituted quo warranto
proceedings on behalf Of the people.
in which both Hearst and Mayor Nc
Clellan were named as defendants
The recount left Mayor Mcclellan
with a plurality of 1855. where upon
Clarence j. Shearn, representing Mr..
had been stuffed and requested the
court to throw out the entire vote of
ll2 election districts I'm which he
charged that the ballots found in the
boxes exceeded the number ef regis
tered voters This, however, was
based on an incorrect list of voters
and when the correct list was produc-
ed today Mr. Shearn said that the reg
istration was greater than the poll in
every district disputed. Justice Lam

charged that the inspectors had reg
istered an excessive number of names
but said he could no. prove repeat
ing.
The justice then declared that the
original count was quite as complete as
the one made in court and that the
evidence showed no fraud so far as
the election inspectors were concern
ed. He said that If legal voters could
been attempted in this case, this form
Of government would not endure long.
lf the jury We're to return a verdict
against Mayor Mcclellan Justice Lam
bert said he would not allow it to
stand, and he ordered a verdict in IA
vor of the mayor, which was rendered
The jurors were allowed $50 each
having sat firty-one days
Mayor Mcclellan issued statement
tonieN in which. after defining his
attimdr in regard to the recount, he
stat & that he has been forced to pay
out $4,000 to defend his title not
includns counsel fees which are still
unpaid
The mayor directs attention to the
fact that khe result of this enormous
expense and thi, protracted litigation
has been to increase my total vote
and diminish, my plurality by about
500 disputed ballots
Mayor Mcclellan says that he has
no regrets as ia the course he pur-
sued and that he feels that the con-
troversy will discourage the bringing
OF election contests Of this sort in the
future He said that had he sus-
pected that his election was the re-

ing of the ballot is a purely outward

structed to do, though If left to him
self he womld have done otherwise.
"Most membors-elect of the legis.

But in this. connection II Is surprls-
ing how many of them have already
been approached with attractive A.

good old days when the legislators
were appealed to through the sense
of touch. The old way may have
been better than the new way; there
is something doubtless to be said on
both sides, but the suggestions o.
bribery with which the air is AL
ready filled are not calculated to
arouse any violent antagonlsms
against the new way OF electing sem

The man who was probaly the
champion medicine consumer of the
world died few days ago. In spite
of the fact that he never had a day
OF sickness In his life this man who
died from heart disease at the age
OF rs, had put more medicine into
his insides than many drug store
contains. While the records which
he kept OF his consumption are In
complete. they show that during his
life he got away with more than l.
100000 pills, and more than $40
barrels OF liquid medicine. In ad-
dltion TO this, he estimated shortly
before his death that he had used
something over $4,000 gallons of To-
tions externally. TO say nothing OF
nearly so acres OF plasters and the
like. II was his habit to consume a
couple OF handful of whatever sort
of pills he fancIed before breakfast
and during the day to sip liquid
medicine as some men do highballs.
In spite OF the warnings of doctors
the strange diet seemed to have had
no effect upon him. although with
advascing years he cut down his
daily rations. He was often urge I
by his friends to make medicine TAX

WARSHIPS
RESUME
VOYAGE


San Francisco, June S.-The bat
tleships Maine and Alabama weighed
anchor In the bay shortly after 7
O'Clock this morning and passed out
through the Golden Gate on their
way to Hawaii. They are pathfind-
ers" of the Atlantic feet and are GO
ing ahead to try the course for the
main body OF ships In the great
cruise around the world.
The special service squadron Is In
command OF Captain Giles B. Har'
Dor of the Maine. 1t Is expected that
the two ships will maintain a sched-
ule of 10 knots an hour and will ar
rive at Hampton Roads on October
22. They will not cover exactly the
same itinery as the Is ship fleet, but
will go over the main stretches OF
the long cruise.
One reason these two ships were
chosen for the "pathfinders" Is that
both have boilers that demand the
use OF greater amount of coal than
Is used on other ships and their voy-
age will be shorter than that of the
feet.
