John NJ. Martin. Of Pueblo, was
named as the Democratic candidate
for congress from the second con-
gressional district on the first bal
lot at the convention held at the
Mineral Palace following the ad-
journment OF the state convention
early Friday morning. He received
4i5 votes on the first ballot to 202
votes for James NJ Brimson of Tel
Ter county.
S. H. White Ii threatened. with
all kinds OF opposition In his own
party because he traded off every
thing In sight for his own interests.
A professed anti-Spear man he won
the Endorsement for Judge Of the su-
preme court in the democratic county
convention, and then as a Speer ad.
vocate he traded around in the state
convention and landed along with the
other lucky ones.-Bessemer Indica-
tor.
William II. Taft, republican nomi-
nee for thA presidency. by the pres
ent arrangements. will be in Dodge
City on Saturday. October Sd. Judge
Taf, will leave Denver by a special
train over the Santa Fe SO as to en-
ter Kansas on the morning
Of October Sd. Our next president
viii pass through La Junta at a
very early hour next Saturday morn
ing. and IL is n matter OF great re-
yret to his local admirers that they
will not have an opportunity to see
him.
Thomas X. Hoffmire. of Pueblo. a
well known former resident OF La
Junta, was nominated by acclamation
for district attorney for the Tenth
judicial district at the recent session
OF the judicial convention. NJ. F.
Miller OF this city. made the nomina-
ton. Thus did Otero county receive
second hand recognition at the
hands of judicial convention. Tom
has something of n reputation as
prosecutor and will make "A first
class official.
To fail to elect Mr.. Taft would be
"A calamity TO the country; and II
would be folly. while electing him.
yet at the same time to elect a
congress hostile to him. a congress
which under the influence OF partisan
leadership would be certain to thwart
and battle him Oh every possible oc-
casion. To elect Mr.. Taft, and at
the same time elect congress pledg.
ed to support him. Is the only way
in which to perpetuate the policy of
the government as now carried on.
I feel that all the aid that can be
given to this policy by every good
citizen should be given; for this
is far more than merely partisan mat
ter.-Theodore Roosevelt.
Officials Of justice of the peace
precincts In Otero county should take
notice Of the following: All GER
tificates OF nomination made by pre-
cinct conventions shall be filed with
the county clerk not later than five
days after the date of such nomina-
tions, and no such certificate of
nomination shall be filed more than
sixty nor less than fifteen days he
fore election. Manzanola nominated
her precinct justice Of the peace can,
didnrcs on the day of selecting the
delegates to the county convention,
but failed to file them with the
county clerk until twelve days after
they were nominated. In conse-
quence they will have to do the
work all over again.
