MUST CARRY OUT PROMISES
OTHERWISE CHIEF EXECUTIVE
SAYS PEOPLE WILL LOSE
FAITH IN 1T
CITES A GOOD EXAMPLE
UNLESS LEADERS AND CONGRESS
KEEP PLEDGES, DEFEAT Is
INEVITABLE

New Haven. Conn.,, July 1.--Presi-
dent Taft paused, in an after dinner
speech at the Yale commencement
yesterday. to give warning to the re-
publican party and note of warn
ing to congress. In the course of his
remarks he said:
q remember in 1904 that Charles
Francis Adams gave what may
call perfectly good reason for the
election of a republican to the pres
idency. He said one of the essen
tials of a successful free government
was able, patriotic and efficient OPP
position and that as the democratic
party had failed in that respect, he
was IL favor Of putting the republican
party IN its plaee. Now venture to
say thaE while that may be reason
which shall move the American peo-
pie. it is also true that If the repub-
lican party does not live I'D to It's pro
misses and what the people expect OF
It, it will be relegafed to a position
IKE that of his majesty's opposition
and therefore may say that we have
-roubles of our own"

RIVALRY FOR HEADQUARTERS
RATION AND socoRRo MAKING
HARD FIGHT TO LAND NEW
PLUM
LAS VEGAS IN NO DANGER
1T WILL REMAIN THE CENTER OF
FOURTH JUDICIAL DIS
TRIcT

Santa Fe. N. NJ, July Perhaps
the most important session Of the
New Mexico supreme court to be held
in years. convened here today when
that judicial body met in special ses-
sion for the purpose Of redistricting
the territory for judicial purposes,
this being made necessary by the
creation of the new seventh district.
In addition. the supreme court at this
session will hand down a number OF
important ol inions in cases which
have been pending for some time.
The redistricting of the territory
so as to embrace seven instead Of six
judicial districts as heretofore, has
aroused keen rivalry for the head
quarters Of the new Seventh district,
especially between Ration and Socor-
ro, with the chances in favor OF the
latter. owing to the proximity of Las
Vegas. the headquarters of the Fourth
district. to Ration.
&c is more than probable,rtha Tor
rance county will be added to the
First or Santa Fe court district, and
that the new county of Curry will
be added to the sixth or Alamogordo
district. The Ratonites are bending
every effort to have the new Sew.
enth district comprise Colfax, Union
and northeastern Quay counties with
the Gate city as district court head
quarters.
But it is reasonably certain that
the Ration people will be disappoint-
ed, for this morning when the SUI
preme court gave a hearing on the
Question of the new Seventh district
headquarters, every county in the
territory, except Colfax and Union
counties. went on record as against
making Ration judicial district head
quarters. The overwhelming senti-
ment against Ration is sure to have
its effect.
In this hearing, each county was
represented. Judge E. v. Long, Of
Las Vegas, defended the interests of
San Miguel county: ]. E. Wharton,
Las Vegas optic. (East Las Vegas, N.M.) 1908-1921, 1909-07-01

of Alamogoido the interests Of 0ters
county: Frank Wright, of Santa Ro
sa, represented Guadalupe county;
W. A. Hawkins, Of Clovis. Quay coun
ty; H. NJ. Dougherty. Of socorro, So
corro county; r. P. Barnes, Of Silver
City, Grant county; t. B. catron, Of
Santa Fe, Taos and Santa Fe conn.
ties; Jerry Leahy. of Ration, Colfax
county and H. e. Buckley Of Clayton,
Union county. The latter two only,
favored the creation of new judicial
district to comprise the extreme north
cast of New Mexico with Ration as
the court headquarters.
There is no danger Of Las Vegas
losing the headquarters of the Fourth
district, even though Ration should
land the new Seventh district head
quarters. Tie interests Of the Mea-
dow city ara being well looked after
by it's delegation. Albuquerque, Ros-
well and ccnta Fe are also safe in
this respect.
Chief Justice w. ]. Mills, of Las
Vegas; Associate Justices Frank w.
Parker, Of Las Cruces; Afford w.
Cooley. Of Silver City; Edward A.
Mann. of Alamogordo; Ira A. Abbott.
Of Albuquerque; w. H. Pope of Ros-
wen, and Judge ]. r. McFie. of this
city are attending the special session.
Judge M. G. Mechem, of Tucumcari,
recently nominated as member of
the supreme bench by President Taft,
not having yet been confirmed by the
U. s. senate, can participate at this
session. Judge Cooley was formally
