this week and placed in nomina-
ton candidates for delegate to
the Constitutional Convention,
which meets in Santa Fe October
3, 1910, the election for which
will be held on September 6, 1910.
The result was the nomination of
William Mcintosh, A. B. Mac
Donald and Acasio Gallegos. The
convention would have had to
have hunted for some time to
have found better men, as far
as honesty and integrity are
concerned, but made the grave
mistake of omitting to give the
nominees a platform with any
strength on which to appear be-
fore the voters. The resolutions
or platform adopted by the con-
vention is patterned after the
document Of the Territorial Con-
vention in that it is verbose to
the limit, but says nothing what
ever. Everybody who has ever
been heard of as having at any
time said a word in commenda-
tion of New Mexico, came in for
endorsement, but no principles
to be incorporated in the funda-
mental law Of the new state were
even limited at.
The assemblage was called to
order by Manuel Sanchez, as
sistant president of the county
central committee Candido Pa
dilla was Immediately placed in
nomination for temporary chair
man, as was also Chas L. Burt
The vote having been taken, g
division was called for, which
resulted in % votes for Paddle
and "a votes for Burt. Burt was
at once made secretary of the
convention. A motion prevailed
that the chair name three com
mittees, one on Permanent Or
ganization, Rules and Order Of
Business, one on Credentials anc
one on Resolutions. AS Chairman
Padilla had already prepared his
lists for four committees, he
, proceeded to name the four, re
gardless of calls from the house
that three were all that had beer
ordered in the motion. A recess
was taken to give the commit
tees time to prepare their re
; ports.
The convention was again cal
led to order by Chairman Padills
and the report of the committee
on permanent organization adopt
ed, which placed Acasio GallegoS
in the chair, with Chas. L. Burr
, as secretary. Mr.. Gallegos made
quite a fowery speech, first IL
the Spanish language, and after
, ward using the English. The re
/ ports of committees on Rules and
Order of Business, and Credent
| ials weresadopted. The resolutions
having been read, j. D. Garter
of Mcintosh, moved an amend
4 ment, inserting a clause favor
4 ing the adoption by the Consti
0 tutional Convention of an elect
e ion law based on the Oregon lar
s. including the initiative an11 yot
erendum. Mr. Garter made a
eloquent appeal in behalf o thes
principles. NJ II. Vice. Of Mo
riarty talked against the adop
ton of the amendment, showins
by his speech that he did no
understand either the Oregon
law nor the practical use of the
initiative and referendum. This
amendment was defeated upon
the call of the vote.
The name of E. P. Davies was
placed before the convention as
candidate to the constitutional
convention by Federico Chavez.

Be it Resolved by the demo-
Gratis Of Torrance County in con-
vention assembled, that we are
opposed to any provision being
placed in our constitution which
would tend to abridge the right

New Mexico.
1t is the sense Of this conven-
ton that the constitutional con
vention should create new coun-
ties, change county seats or coun-
ty lines; but the constitution
should contain a provision au-

SHAD AND SALMON ON SALE.
Product of North Carolina Waters
and Great Lakes.

Fresh shad, caught in North Carolina
waters, and salmon from the great lakes,
in addition to the usual other varieties
of fresh fish. were offered for sale i'll
the wholesale market on the 18th street
wharf this morning at prices considered
low for this season of the year.
The salmon were brought here in big
boxes from Chicago and were frozen
stiff and hard, with heavy coating of
frost on the outside, when offered for
sale The fish Looked as pretty and l..e
flesh as bright as if only out of the
water yesterday, instead of for three
weeks or longer The shad were the
finest that have been seen here this sea-
son, the roes being particularly large
and plump, and rivaling in looks the
famed Potomac shad in the middle of the
fishing season.
So far this year the receipts of shad
have been very light. and dealers take
the poor run of the big fish in southern
waters to indicate that the fishing season
on the Potomac this year, like that OF
past years, will be poor one. as far
as the run of silad is concerned.
