Fight on Resolutions.

The principal discussion before the
convention is politics and so bitter
has the alignment become that the
hardest kind of fight may be made
on the resolutions. While Raymond
Robins was speaking on Bryan yes
terday afternoon some of the repub-
lican delegates left the ROOM The
prospects are that the resolutions en-
dorsing Samuel Gompers as president
of the American Federation of Labor
will be unanimous, though the repub-

tically an endorsement of the demo

Cannon will also go through with a
whcop. Other clauses which include
election of United States senator by
direct vote of the people will cause
fight which will take more than the

circulating anew the old campaign lie
that Mr. Bryan has opposed the grant
ing of pensions. Although the demo-
cratic candidate for the presidency has
denied this fake, republican papers
continue to use it in an appeal for the
old soldier vote.
Speaking of the campaign canard,
Mr.. Bryan said:
My attention has been called to a
clipping from republican paper,
which purports to be an extract from
speech on the subject of pensions,
delivered by me in congress, and the
date of the speech is fixed at Nov.

TUCSON, May 23.-The report for the month of April of business of the GIa Valley, Globe < Northern branch of the Randolph lines shows that con- di,iOns in Gila county are rapidly re- turning to a normal state, and that it will not be vety long before the records show increases over the corresponding months of last year. As soon as the conditions generally throughout the country improve the work of practically |renoyating the road will be commenced. The receipts for the month of April, 1908. show that the business of the leila Valley. Globe & Northern branch were about so per cent of what they vere during the same period of 1907, and almost double what they were dur l ling the first couple of months of this year. As an effect of the financial |s,nDgenCy and consequent closing down \ of the furnaces at the shelter of the ! |GI0be district, the freight traffic of the road fell off to a great extent, but since operations in the mining industry have commenced Co get back to normal and ,he business has again improved, il ia probable that the next couple of months Fwill sec business as large as ever on the <Failroad. At the time the depression fane on plans had been formulated for he erection of a new freight and pas Eenger depot at Globe, and other i'm
 royements of track facilities, but work H ad 70 be suspended temporarily, owing T the financial stringency.
