ly against the Democratic officials,
but against every farmer and stock
man in the county of Chaves.
There is not the slightest founda-
tion for the knocks and slurs thrown
about by the Register-Tribune.
The R. T. man accuses the owners
of cattle and sheep with rendering
and swearing to 1900 to 5000 cattle
when they really have up as high as
100000" If the R. T. man has the
proof for this why not produce it
and not confine himself to absurd
charges and ibelous assertions.
Now about this thirty cent land
Why was this rate fixed at thirty
cents by the Republican gang? The
members of the old Republican gang
all the timber, coal and other desira-
BILE lands in the western section of
the Territory, and then having con-
troll of the lawmaking and taxing
of the Territory proceeded
to fix things all along the line. Tim
ber lands worth hundreds of dollars
an acre were given a valuation of
from $3.50 to $500 per acre. The law
does not say mot less than," but ac-
tually sets this rate and no other.
Then they cast about for any other
desirable lands that might have es-
capped their eyes and classed all other
lands at a thirty-cent rate, and the
law says plainly that it must be as
sessed at thirty cents, and not higher
Or lower, but at exactly thirty cents.
There are but two bodies of this land
in Chaves county, and as in duty
bound by law they have been assess
ed at thirty cents. And then along
COMES a little guttersnipe politician
and assails the Democratic Board of
Cor hty Commissioners for obeying
this same Republican law.
Having a personal crouch at J. F.
this same peanut sized would
be political dictator would throw on
Mr.. tHinkle, a minority member of the
Territorial Board of Equalization the
responsibility for all the iniquitous
laws made by the Old Gang of Re-
publican Corruptionists at Santa Fe
for the last twenty years. But it will
not work. The voters will not be de-
ceived by distorted statements and
falsehoods published in a newspaper
CD repudiated by the best element
of its own party.
The Record has shown that if the
tax payers of this county were as
sessad at full valuation the county
would, send over to Santa Fe for the
use OF the political heelers and boot
leggers the enormous sum of $23O,OOO
every year.
The same Republican Territorial
law places a valuation of $3.50 per
mile on the local railroad, when it
is a well known fact that Avery Tur-
ner, General Manager of the road, ap-
peared before the Interstate Com
merce Commission at Amarillo about
a year ago and testified that the value
of the road was about $4,000 per

295 FOR
BRYAN

Chicago, Oct. 31.-At both Demo
cratic and Republican headquarters
| in this city today statements summing
| up their claims were issued. John e.
| Lamb, in charge of Democratic head
quarters, claimed 295 electoral votes
| safe for Bryan. He placed 110 votes
| in the doubtful column, and admitted
| ly Republican.
William Hayward, secretary of the
Republican national committee, in a
signed statement admitted only four
doubtful states, Nevada, Colorado,
Montana and Missouri. Colorado and
Montana were reasonably safe, he
said for Taft. He added, '"Tne prairie
states west of the Missouri river, as
well as Wyoming, Utah and some of
; the mountain states and all the Pa
cific coast states, are surely Repub-
lican. There has never been any real
doubt in the minds of anyone about
Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan or Iowa
Bryan will certainly lose his own
state. Personally 1 have never doubt
ed Indiana"
Hayward also claimed New York,
| Ohio and West Virginia, and says
that any doubt concerning Maryland
and Kentucky is all in favor of the
Republican party.
, In Lambs statement the following
were admitted to be safely Republi-
can: Maine, Massachusetts,, Michigan,
New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and
Vermont. He places the following in
the doubtful column: California, Con
necticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois,
| Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota,
Rhode Island, Utah, Washington, Wis
consin and Wyoming.
Desperate Fight IN Doubtful States
New York, Oct. 31.-New York, In

Of final desperate fighting on the last

campaign, and on them both Taft
and Bryan are today centering their
contest. Taft continued his tour of
New York, beginning at Elmira and
ending tonight at Rochester.

ceived numerous letters and te1e-
grams showing that this trick of Mr.
Rockefeller, doubtless by agreement
with the Democratic party, will fail
absolutely. This is self-evident on its
face, as Mr.. Taft has said, that if
Rockefeller really wanted him elected
he would keep quiet about it, and he
has come out for Taft as being the
way in which he can damage him the
more" The following telegram was
also made public:
Cleveland, O., Oct. 31.-To the
delivered by Rockefeller's political
trick. We will bury him with Tom
Johnson. This county is as safely Re
publican as the state of Ohio and the

that he has positive proof that for
ten days negotiations have been going
on between the Taft managers and
the Standard Oil Co. to get the sup
port of the Standard people all over
the country, and to get a contribution
of s1,oOO,OO0, which is the same am

Will Robinson, of the Register-Trib-

The city derives a revenue from the
taxes on lands and property within
the city of Roswell, and if these
lands and property are not properly
valued by the Board of County Com
missioners it is his duty to object and
see that they are properly valued so
that the city may receive the taxes
due it. Has he ever taken up this
matter?

duties Of the office. The Laws of the
Territory prescribe that an alderman
of any city must have certain qualifi-
cations, one of them being that he
must be the owner of real estate To-

Will Robinson is not to be found on
the tax rolls of Chaves county for

For the first time in several months
there was a regularly matched game
of base ball in Roswell, today. 1t was
held at the Military Institute grounds
on North Hill and the High schools
of Roswell and Artesia were contest
ing. Free rigs were run to the grounds
from the business section of the town

was quite a creditab1e showing. The
weather was perfect and warmed up
about right for good base ball.
The Artesia team arrived on the
Der of rooters and friends. The two
teams went on the diamond with the
following lineup, the batting order
being followed in the list:

you keep in line?"

was just recovering from the shock Of
the first signals when others came that
were still more strenuous.

read. This was followed by some
choice objurgations on the way the
vessel was being run that nearly broke
the heart Of the commanding officer.
What panied him most was that he

commander must be cognizant OF the
