cent. His conservatism is not bar,
but rather a help to his candidacy,
aad Mr. Bryan's closest friends con-
cede the wisdom of selecting candi-
date who would be closer with east
ern thought than Bryan himself, and
while they point out that Gray meets
this demand, in many respects he
would not be antagonistic to Brya1's
special supporters. 1t is believed that
his connection with the anthracite
coal strike arbitration few years
ago would add immensely to the pop
ularity of the ticket among the labor
ing classes, and it is contelded that
while on the federal bench he has
never antagonized labor interests.
If the nomination does not go to
Judge Gray. New York will probably
claim it, aad will get it if it can
unite on some candidate. In other
words. the situation with reference
to the vice presidency in Denver is
now parallel to the vice presidency
situation at Chicago previous to the
nomination of Sherman.
Mr.. Bryan's friends are not favora-

Denver, Colo, July 1.-The princi-
pal event in connection with the forth
coming Democratic convention today
was the arrival of Frederick B.
Lynch, of Minnesota, as representa-
tive in chief of the presidential boom
of Governor Johnson. The announce
ment of Lynch's coming caused a
renewal of discussion of the possibil-
tiles of the nomination of Johnson
for the vice presidency, rather than
for President. 1t is conceded on all
hands, privately even by the Johnson
supporters, that his nomination for
the first position is problematical, but
his friends are determined to have
his name presented to the convention
for the presidency, and most of them
are quite positive that he would not
accept the second place even if it
were rendered to him.
Discussion of Johnson's chances
for the vice presidency is not indulg
ed in seriously by the inner circle of
Bryan's friends. They do not accept
his name with favor, AID even thus
far in advance of the convention it
may be announced that he will not
be Mr.. Bryan's running mate in the
event the Nebraskan is nominated.
Mr.. Bryans friends are steadfast on
this point, and while they do not op-
ealy criticise the Johnson candidacy,
they are evidently displeased with his
entering the race.
On the other hand, Judge Gray of
Delaware, would be very acceptable
to Mr.. Bryan, and the position is gen
orally conceded to him if he will ac-

James E. Hamilton and Miss Mar

in the presence of a large number of
invited guests. This was the first in
vitation wedding in the new building.
The beautiful new structure need

to add a touch of nature.
All guests arrived promptly and at
7:3O the service was opened with a
song by Walter T. Paylor, Love Me

Mcconnell accompanied him on the
piano, Mr.. Paylor's rich and clear mu-

sweetness. AS the accompaniment

CAPTAIN MURRAY
PLEADS NOT GUILTY.

Roswell, N. NJ, July 1, 1908.
To the Editor of The Record.
Sir:-In the article on Insulting
the Flag" which appeared in your
valuable paper of June 80, the courte-
Gus critic gave a slight thrust at the
author of the letter to the Army and
Navy Register as having belonged
to the Commissary Department of the
Army. l believe l am the only person
living in Roswell who belonged to
that department, hence l consider the
insinuation as thrust at me. 1 wish
to inform the critic most emphatical-
ly, that l am not the author of said
article; furthermore that 1 am per-
fectly conversant with what consti-
tutes an insult to our flag, without
reference to any paper for informa-
tion. l did not see the procession on
May 31st.
The critic again i1sinuates that the
quartermaster's and commissary de-
partments are composed of men who
have not the nerve to face an enemy.
Let me inform him that the staff de-
partments of our army are composed
of men who are as brave as any men
who ever wore shoe leather, which
they have proved on the battle field,
il the Civil war as well as Indian and
Spanish wars since that time.
1 make these few remarks in order
that my friends may know that l am
not the author of said article Yours
very sincerely,

SECRETARY TAFT NOW

Washington, July Secretary OF

citizen. His routine campaign work
began today. 1t consisted of signing
several thousand letters which he had
written in response to congratulatory
messages received by mail and tele-
graph.
Despite rumors regarding the selec-
ton of chairman of the Republican
National Committee, assurance is Civ
e1 that no decision has yet been
reached. Mr.. Taft expects to confer
on the subject late this afternoon
with Arthur l. Vorhis, of Ohio, man
ager of the preliminary campaign. 1t
is reasonably certain that Vorhis him
self will not be selected, although he
is likely to be identified with the cam
paign in an important position.

We presume that the applause of
the wool growers of the territory will
be simply deafening when the Repub-
lican campaign orators tell them this
fall how the high protective tariff
has raised the price of wool to seven
cents a pound. The silence of the Re
publican newspapers concerning the
price of wool is getting to be pain
full. Fifteen years ago these same pa
pers knew just what was the matter.
It was a Democratic administration
then, and they told their readers alb
out it every day. They seem to be a
little backward now in admitting that
the low price of wool is due to Re-
publican stupidity, incompetence and
anagement.-Santa Fe Eagle.
