 Coming State Convention.

Trenton. \. l.. April 2a.-Republican primaries for the selection of dele gates to attend next Tuesdays state convention were held throughout New Jersey. Reports indicate that there have been no contests outside Of Hud. son and Essex counties. In Essex there was a contest between the regu- lars and the new idea" or Colby peo pie. The returns indicate a victory for the regulars. In Hudson county there was q three cornered fight.
 It looks ss though Secretary Taft Will have one-third and perhaps more of the New Jersey delegates. IL is not believed that the unit rule Will he adopted.
 Former United States Senator John r. Dryden. who Is an avowed Taft man. will be chairman of the conven- tion.

POLI'S
JOHN l.. SULLIVAN.

The New York Stars will be at Polls Friday, matinee and night. This is the show that outbid all its rivals and secured the services or that veteran of the pugilistic ring, John L. Sullivan, who appears at every performance with his spar ring partner, Jake Kilrain. These two heavyweights set-to for four rounds and those who have seen them go say that neither has lost any of the vigor and science that made them idols for the followers of the glove and ring only a few years ago. While these two men are being prominently featured they are not the whole show by consid- erable. The very best speciality and sketch artists are enrolled in the company, which has more witty and laugh provoking comedians than ever before. In fact it is perfectly constructed company, evenly bal anced and the programme so ar ranged as to meet with the approval of all. Popular prices,

Corpus Christi, Texas, July g.
Hon. James B. Wells of Brownsville
is here attending court, and, on &C
count of certain important legal mat
ters, was prevented from attending
the National democratic convention
to which he was elected as delegate
from this congressional district.
Although Mr.. Wells has been too
busy with his law practice to give
much attention to political matters
the past six months, still he feels as
deep an interest in politices as ever,
and can always find time to render
aid to his party and to his friends
whenever he thinks that his services
are needed.
In the gubernatorial contest two
years ago Mr. Wells supported Judge
c. K. Bell and was one of that gentle
mans most ardent supporters. Per-
haps because of this some specula-
ton has been INDUCED in regarding
his position this year, but if any
doubt has existed along this line. it
will forever be dissipated by the fol-
lowing statement which he today au-
thorized when asked how he stood on
the governors race:
q am unequvocally for Tom Camp
bell" he said, land I am unalterably
opposed to this fight that is being
made against his denomination. 1t is
unjust and uncalled for and means
no good to the democratic party,
while may have differed to some
extent with Governor Campbell on
certain matters of minor Importance,
yet on the whole he has made us a
good chief executive, and l admire
him for the courage he displayed in
insisting that the last legislature car
~ out the demands of the democratic
platform on which he was nominated
and elected.
HE has done nothing to warrant
opposition for a second term, and the
socalled opposition which finds its
leadership in an obscure individual
who is not known beyond the borders
of his own county, is not calculated to
benefit either our State or the demo-
cratic party.
Even had Governor Campbell's
official acts been such as to warrant
opposition for a second term. such
opposition, had it been well-founded
would have chosen for its leader
man of some public standing and who
had at least done something to en-
title him to the highest honor within |
the gift of the Texas people.
Il believe this so-called opposition |
will run its course in a very short |
time but should it not do so the re-
suit will be the same, for Governor
Campbell will carry the primaries by |
a very large majority, as the Texas
democracy is not yet ready to throw |
off an old and established precedent |
without just and sufficient cause. -

BROWNSVILLE LINE
Is INDEPENDENT
OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY OF
ROCK ISLAND-FRISCO LINES.
SO IT APPEARS IN LIGHT
OF LATE EVENT.
Evidenced by Traffic Agreement With
Sunset System, by Which Browns
vile Road Secures Fine DISTRIBUTE
ing Facilities for Traffic Originate
ing on This Line.

Houston, Texas, July 5.-That th'
Brownsville road is to be operated in
dependently of the Yoakum-Frisco
Rock Island system as well as 9th
ers is indicated by traffic agreement
that was reached here yesterday be
tween representatives of the st
Louis, Brownsville & Mexico and the
Sunset-Central East & West lines. BY
this agreement it is said that the
Brownsville road secures an outlet
and distributing facilities for all traf-
fic on that line.
The agreement was signed yester-
day evening after the representatives
of the two roads had spent the
Fourth in deliberation over the i'm
portant move. Mr.. Dave O'Brien,
chief clerk to William Doherty, tarffic
manager of the gulf coast line, repre-
sented that line and Mr.. Jerry
Brasher of C. K. Dunlap's office, traf-
fic manager of the Sunset lines, was
present when the agreement between
the two lines was signed The agree
ment covers the movement of all
commodities between the gulf coast
country and points on the Sunset
Central East & West lines of Texas
and the Southern Pacific of Louis
lana.
1t is believed by those conversant
with the situation of the gulf coast
road the statement that it and the
Hartman system have formed traf-
fic agreement will be taken to mean
that it is absolutely Independent of
all the Frisco-Rock Island Yoakum
combinations. If the contrary had
been the case, it is practically GER
tain that the Brownsville road would
have made an agreement with the
Frisco lines to reach New Orleans
during the coming fall. The very
fact that the Sunset was approached
leaves the inference that the Browns
vile road is out to carve its own des-
tiny without the aid of the enter
prises which have made the Rock Is
land and the Frisco lines such pow
ers in the railroad world.
AS understood, the agreement is of
unusual advantage to the Browns
vile road. The appointment of the
carriage charges is such as to enable
the Brownsville road to handle hinge
consignments of early truck at
good profit, delivering it here TO the
Sunset lines to be forwarded to des-
tination. While neither of the traf-
fic officials have given anything out
the division of rates it is
that the Brownsville road
received unusual concessions.
The freight discussion hung fire
for some time over the division of
rates on goods shipped to points east
and north of New Orleans. That mat
ter, however, was finally settled to
the satisfaction of the parties and |
each road received what was believed |
to be right Similarly, the movement |
of commodities from the East to New
Orleans and thence over the Sunset |
to Houston where they would be de-
livered to the Brownsville road was
taken up and settled.

Presidential nominating conven-
tions would do well to remember that
a vice president may be made presi-
dent by the hand of Fate. And the
voters of the land should remember
the same important fact The too
common practice of naming the man
with bari" or a man whom the
party wishes to put on the shelf. for
second place on the presidential tick
ct may result some day in placing
some millionaire campaign manipu-
sator or second class political juggler
IN the seat that has been occupied
by the immortal George Washington.

The recent Mexican uprising along
the border should warn Uncle Sam
that there is need for the fort at
Brownsville to be regarrisoned. But,
with white troops, remember-Tex-
as Sun.
The esteemed Sun makes two mis-
takes. In the first phase, this town
had negro troops stationed here pre-
vious to the coming of Faraker's Ca
diets, and they were even more or
derby than some white troops that
have been stationed at this post. The
town is in reality better of in some
respects without any troops, unless
the troubles in Northern Mexico
should become serious, which they
assuredly are not at present. And
that is the second mistake of the
Sun The trouble in Mexico is not a
regular Mexican uprising" but on
~ a lawless outbreak by lot of
outlaws, who would rather play revo-
Iutionists than engage in lawful oc-
equations.

NOTHING BUT OUTLAWS.

The efforts to dignity the raid
upon the town of Las Vacas in north
ern Mexico, near the Rio Grande
and opposite the Texas town of Del
Rio, by painting it as part of revo-
Iutionary move is not only senseless
but harmful. 1t is senseless because
the actual facts in relation to this
outrage are that it is nothing more
than a lawless act, by gang of BAN
dts. whose sole object is robbery.
Too indolent to work, these lawless
vagabonds find it more convenient
and more to their liking to mount
their cayuses and go across the river
to piliage an, almost defenseless town
In order to lay plan for defense,
they give cut reports that the deed
is part of a revolutionary move,
knowing that as ''reVolutionists" they
could fight extradition, if arrested on
American soil, on the ground that
their offense was of political ma
ture. The harmful feature of the eff
fort to give the outrage a revolution
airy complexion consists in the fact
that such reports are apt to dis
turb the confidence of investors in
the region contiguous to the scene
of the outrage, and to retard the de-
velopment of that section. The men
concerned in the Las Vacas outrage
are nothing more nor less than out
laws, robbers and murderers, and as
such, if arrested, should be prompt
Iy delivered up to Mexican justice.
