Foraker with any corporation. you nev.
ertheless have secured Governor Has
kell as chairman Of the committee to
write the platform on which you stand,
and pat him in as treasurer OF your
campaign committee.
Haskell a Disgrace.
Let me add that Governor Haskelrs
utter unfitness for any public position
of trust. or for association with any
man anxious to make an appeal on a
moral issue to the American peOp'e,
has been abundantly shown, wholly ir.
respective of this action Of his in con.
nection with the Standard Oil interests.
As an American citizen who prizes his
Americanism and his citizenship far
above any question of partisanship, |
regard it as scandal and disgrace
that Governor Haskell should be con.
nected with the management of any ma.
tional campaign.
"You close your telegram by saying
that you expect and will demand fair
and honorable treatment from those
who are in charge of the Republican
campaign. am not in charge OF the
campaign, but am greatly interested In
it. have shown you above fairly and
honorably that Governor Haskell is
man who, on every account have
named, is unworthy of any position In
public life.
81 put Mr.. Taft's deeds against your
words. ask that Mr.. Taft be judged
by his deeds, for he wishes none OF
them forgotten. ask that you be judg-
ed both by the words you wish remem'
bered and by the words that seeming
ly you and your party now desire to
have forgotten. ask that your present
plans for regulating the trusts be judg.
ed in connection with your past utter
ances to the effect that only govern.
ment ownership by complicated ma
tional and state system of railroads
would avail; and again by your past
utterances when you proposed to rem
edy all the sufferings Of our people by
a deprecated currency.
In Conclusion.
"Let us repeat, that no law-defying
corporation has anything to fear from
you save what it will suffer in the gen
eral paralysis of business which any
attempt on your part to reduce to prac
tice what you have advocated would
bring. This paralysis would affect the
wage-worker, the farmer, the small
business man, more than it would af-
feet the great business man. But it
would effect the latter too. Therefore
| hope and believe that all far-sighted
citizens who wish to see this country
prosper In material things will sup
port Mr.. Taft. But above all, ask
for support for him, because he stands
for the moral uplift of the nation, be-
cause his deeds have made good his
words, and because the policies too
which he is committed are of immea.
J. sureable consequence alike. to the hon.
or and the interests Of the whole Amer

Address Of Attorney General.

The speech delivered by Attorney
General Hervey is full OF good meat
and contains lots Of information Tor
the people of the territory. Mr.. Hervey
has given the subject upon which ne
talked much attention and in his
speech gives facts and figures that are
interesting and convincing. His speech
bears a stamp of frankness and fair
ness and is truthful, being In great
contrast with the venomous and en-
yious windy stuff which is retailed to
his hearers by the Democratic Candi'
date o. A. Larrazolo. The speech fol
lows:
Mr.. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen;
The people Of New Mexico are not a.
this time interested in questions di
viding national parties, or in any Of
the national issues now before the
people of the United States. They are
concerned by a much more serious
question, which is the question Of po
litical liberty, and therefore there Is
only one issue in the New MexicO'dele
gate campaign this fall, and that Is the
question of statehood. This question. u
is contended by the Democratic party
Of the territory, Is not an issue, be
cause both parties are in favor o.
statehood and both nationa! parties In
their platforms have declared un
|equivocally for It.
Under these circumstances 1t there
fore becomes question Of the ability
Of the two territorial parties to secure
immediate statehood for the territory
A states right to admission presents
question for consideration covering
its fitness for state government, NOR
ally, politically, materially and educa
tionally.

Marvellous AeropIane Flight.

War Aeroplane." defied the elements
and sailed away far over the Atlantic
ocean and back again to their place
of rendezvous in Kill-Devil Hill, Nags
Head, North Carolina.
Not only did the aeroplane make
successful flight over the sea. but all
ID and down Nags Head. which Is
nothing more than an island. for 4 dis
ance OF about twenty-five miles. The
machine sailed with perfect east. at
III times under perfect control of both
he Wright brothers. who were in the
machine. The machine was at least
1000 feet in the air at one time. and 1t
vas apparent from the maneuvers that
he two inventors were particularly in
lerested in proving the aeroplane ca
pable of making sharp and decisive
turns In all directions under all condi-
tions.
The flight of the machine as 1t left
the earth was really a beautiful sight.
II actually shot up into the air like an
inflated balloon after it had been re-
leased. When 1t reached a certain
height 1t would sail away for some
distance. then ascend or descend. ac
