DELEGATE ANDREWS
REELECTION DEMANDED
Prominent Citizen of Quay County
Makes Able Argument to 3uppor.
His Views.

A leading and we'll posted citizen of
eastern Quay county has addressed
the New Mexican, giving his views of
the present political situation in the
territory These are so well taken
and so well supported by actual con
ditions that the New Mexican publish
cs them. The writer is one
of the original settlers of eastern New
Mexico, has lived there about five
years and knows whereof he speaks,
especially in his section. He writes:
Mara Visa, N. NJ, May 20, 1908.
Editor New Mexican,
Santa Fe, n. NJ,
Dear Sir:
81 am pleased to note that the pa
pers all over the territory are rally
ing to the support of Senator w. H.
Andrews. ] note in the last issue Of
the New Mexican that nearly every
Spanish paper in the territory is out
for Andrews.
Without saying anything against
Mr.. Larrazolo, am frank to say that
he would be entirely out of his depths
at Washington. He is man of good
presence and brilliant speaker and a
man who takes well on ordinary oc-
casions, but we all of us knew on!y
too well that those are not always the
traits that make for success at the ma
tional capital or for that matter at
any other.
81 have in mind several of our best
men who are absolute failures as pub
lie speakers but they have that facul-
ty to do persistent, hard work which,
as Garfield said If it is not genius
it is the best possible substitute for it.
think this summarizes the situation
between these two men. | am not
aware that Senator Andrews claims
ANY ability as an orator, but it is GER
tain that few men in the United States
!are his equal when it comes to that
kind of persistent hard work that
brings about results. The fact Of the
matter is that while Mr.. Larrazolo has
ia fine presence and is somewhat of
an orator, he would be most lne.or-
iously eclipsed when he arrives at
Washington and we have no reason to
believe, that he possesses in measure
the other qualifications.
"We are going into the fight this
year with the future of our territory
at stake. If we send Il competent man
to Washington to represent us in the
next session of Congress we have
much to hope for. If we send a man
noted only for his qualities as a
speaker and especially a man of abso-
lutely no official experience and no
acquaintance with public men, we can
not hope to cut much of figure at
Washington thi~ coming fall and win
ter. I don't believe put it too strong
ly when l say that the future of New
Mexico for some time to come depends
upon the reelection Of Senator An
dreWS"

Kansas City, June 11.-Flood condi.

gan falling before daylight and the
water steadily receded from the in
undated district. The Missouri river
continued to rise slowly but can do
no additional damage at this point.
The kaw became stationary at Kan

when it reached stage of 2S.1 feet.
The Missouri river at seven o'clock
this morning stood 1873 feet, a rise of
a foot since eight o'clock last night.
The weather bureau predicts that the
Missouri river will continue to rise
for another twenty-four hours.
All the railroads were in operation
at the Union Station this morning ex-
cept the Union Pacific and Missouri
Pacific whose bridges are under water
and the Santa Fe. The water is still
half a block away from the Union

SUBURBAN CAR
IS DYNAMlTED
Police Of Cleveland Searching For
Miscreants Who Placed Explosive
on the Track.

Cleveland, o., June 1.-THE police
|of Euclid Heights, suburb, in which
la Municipal Traction company car
was blown up with dynamite early this
morning, are bending every effort to-
day to discover the miscreants who
caused the explosion. Seven passen-
gers were injured but none fatally.
The car was running slowly when the
front wheels struck the explosive. The
explosion was heard over mile away.
The windows of the car were scatter
ed and seats twisted. Only the speed
of the car saved it from going over
steep embankment. Two sticks of dy-
Mantle were found near the rails
where they had been placed with the
intention of blowing up a car bound
in an opposite direction.

Albuquerque, N. NJ, June 1.-THE
ministers association of Albuquerque
a few days ago passed resolution re-
questing that all women who attend
church services in the Duke City

MERCHANTS MUST
LEND THEIR AID
Some Hard Work Has to Be Done at
Once If Fourth Of July Celebration
Is to Be Made a Success.

Some hard work must be done by
the merchants of Santa Fe who are
behind the movement to give big
Fourth of July celebration in Santa
Fe this year. This fact came out at
the meeting Of the executive commit
tee in the Santa Fe Central railway e.
flee last night. To insure the attrac-
tions planned by the merchants some
th'l.g like $500 must be raised within
the next two weeks. ....
The finance committee reported A
Subscription list amounting to aboHt
$295 which was a disappointment to
those who are anxious to make he Gel.
eb,at' on a success. William Gregg is
chairman of the committee. The other
member, w. H. Kennedy, will call on
the merchants and business men DUR
ing the next few days and it is be.
.ieved that there viii be no trouble in
raising the $500 necessary. Mr.. Gregg
will a,so go over the city and those
who will be benfited by the celebra-
tion may expect to be asked to pro-
vide something towards meeting the
expenses necessary.
/ 1t was practically decided last night
to have delegations from at least two
tribes Of Indians as special attrac-
tions. Indian dances and races will
be features. The Indians will be given
the privilege of selling pottery and
wares in return for the entertainment
they will afford What tribes will be
represented is not known.
| So far A. M. Dettelbach, who has
charge of the balloon ascension fea.
ture of the entertainment, has been
unable to secure an aeronaut although
he has been in correspondence with
Denver and Ell Paso parties. This fea-
ture has not been abandoned, howev-
er, but if a balloonist cannot be Sc
cured the amount set aside for this
number will be expended for addition
al fireworks.
s. B. Grimshaw, chairman of the
executive committee. stated this morn.
ing that some hustling must be done
in order to make the celebration the
success hoped for and he is calling on
all public spirited citizens to put their
shoulders to the movement and help
it along.
| Excursions on railroads entering
Santa Fe will be run. The Santa Fe
Central has announced one and it Is
expected the Denver and Rio Grande
and the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe will follow suit. Mr.. Grimshaw, as
sistant to the president Of the Santa
Fe Central, states that the towns in
the Estancia Valley are anxious to
have Fourth of July celebrations and
unless the one in Santa Fe is an as
sured success the visitors from the
Estancia Valley will not be as numer-
GUS as has been anticipated.
Another meeting of the executive
committee will be held in the near
future at which program will be
drawn up for distribution.

Ohioan Arrives on Scene
With Draft of Platform
in His Pocket.

Chicago, June 1i.-With more than
a majority of the contests filed before
the Republican national committee
wiped off the books and with Taft
delegates to the number of 504 al
ready accepted to the convention, the
interests of today's developments cen
tered in the makeup Of the conven.
ton committees and declarations
which will be made in the national
platform. The national committee
still has contests involving 81 seats
to consider but strenuous efforts are
being made to rush this work to com.
pletion.
Rapidly Disposing of Contests.
The South Carolina contests were
scheduled for the opening work to.
day. Tennessee, Oklahoma and Texas
will probably follow and then will
come the contests in Arizona and Al
aska. The work of the committee is
simplified to a considerable extent by
the agreement to consolidate the con
tests from Texas.
The hearinng in the first South Car.
olina contest occupied but short
time and the committee seated the
Taft delegation.
The contest in the fifth district OF
South Carolina was also decided in
favor of Taft and the committee then
took up the contests in Tennessee
These are over the delegates-at-large
and include eight districts. The con
tests were consolidated. Both sides
favor Taft and the contest is over the
national committeeman.
Ellis Arrives on Scene.
Attorney General Wade H. Ellis OF
Ohio, arrived in Chicago today, bring
ing with him a rough draft of the
tentative platform for the national
convention. Il cannot. for obvious
reasons, disclose the character of the
platform now," stated Mr.. Ellis, but
II believe it will satisfy the people as
it covers features in the popular de-
mand at this time Its scope is wide
enough to satisfy the popular wishes
and in my opinion it will prove the
best platform any political party has
sanctioned in recent years."
