FIGHTING BRYAN.

That there are any numper or uenho- crats who sincerely hope that MT Bryan will not be the next democratic presidential nominee there is no req son to doubt. Editor Hermann Rid der is only one of them. He resolved to go as far as to beard the lion In his den" and ask him to quit. But the result of the visit to Lincoln must be much the reverse of what MT. Rid der expected Instead of terrorizing MT. Bryan, he rather encouraged him MT. Bidders inborn party loyalty got the better of his factional feeling when he told Mir Bryan that he would have his support if nominated, and now, al though Mir. Bryan has declared with seeming dsconcern that he can win without New York state, he will be able to count on the hearty support of the Staatz Zeitung and it's able editor at any rate Instead of making con- cession to Mir. Ridder, Mir. Ridder has made a concession that should bring encouragement to MT. Bryan, who has even expressed himself as favoring Mir. Ridder as his running-mate
 There is. of course, one alternative open to MT. Ridder and his friends who are looking for another leader than MT. Bryan. On the eve of the Fourth the Peerless One made the sig nificant statement Tn Lincoln that un- { less the Denver convention incorporat- ,d in its platform a campaign contri- button publicity plank, it might look elsewhere than Nebraska for candi- date for president. If Mir. Ridder can bring his influence to bear 50 as to ob- tain a decocratic platform without such plank, he would have solved his di- lemna t would seem, if MT. Bryan re- members what he has said. But the fact Is that just such plank is what is wanted. Both Mir. Taft and Mir. Roosevelt have declared themselves as favorinE sucl publicity. It Is not im- probable that Mir. Ridder does, too. It would only be the proper move for the democrats to take the hint and follow suit So the Peerless Ones boom must go merrily on.
 At Denver the yeeling against Mr. Bryan is appreciable. It is now said there that, If possble,' an attempt will be made to cut down the Bryan vote by the application of the unit rule in the casting of the votes of the state delegation. Pennsylvania is said to be contemplating voting in this wise. If 1t does. then other states may well follow this precedent on the first ballot. With a first ballot that is not decisive out of the way, 1t is said that the delegates need not feel that trey are held by their instructions and may proceed to nominate candidate without violating their obligations to the hero of Lincoln. But this Is, At best, a big If" The whole thing sounds very much like the eleventh hour anti-Taft talk before the repub- lican convention It does not dim MT. Bryan's expectations we may be sure Whether he should be nomir ated is one question; that he will ba, seems imminent.

SOCIALISTS SHOW A
BIG VOTING STRENGTH.

There are $50 names of voters on
a petition that has been filed in the
Office of Probate Clerk and Recorder,
F. P. Gayle, asking that a socialist
ection of November 3. This shows the
voting strength of the Socialist party
in Roswell to be much greater than
supposed; and it will have to be con-
sidered in figuring on results. The sup
position of many that the Socialists
draw a greater part of their strength
from the Democratic party, was shown
to be false the other night when eigh-
ty Socialists recorded the name of the
party to which they formerly belong
ed. They were evenly divided, forty
from the Democratic party and forty
from the Republican. In a community
where there are two Democratic votes
to one Republican it is natural to sup
pose that at least two-thirds of the
Socialists had formerly been Demo
Gratis, but the straw vote mentioned
destroys all such calculations
1t is naturally to be inferred that
the recent Republican prosperity has
been too much for many Republicans
and they have joined the Socialists
as the result.

this morning destroyed the elevator
of the Hungarian Mills Company of
this city, causing a loss estimated
at nearly half million dollars. The
mills proper were saved after a hard

loafing near the mills before the fire
started and gave chase. He pursued
them several blocks without Overtak-
ing them, and when he returned to
his duty he found the elevator in
flames in several places. Over four
hundred thousand bushels of wheat
