forenoon, but desired that no an
nouncement be made of the names of
those let ont until tomorrow.

D. c., tomorrow, presumably for con-
sultation on various federal appoint
ments to be made, including Judge

patch to the Denver Republican says:
president Taft has completed the
New Mexico slate, which includes SUI
preme Judge William J. Mills for gov
