Wind ROBBED PEDES-

AND GAVE EVERYBODY A
CROUCH; DAMAGE SLIGHT

People on the streets this morning
who we're not too busy chasing their
own headgear enjoyed several min
utes of rare sport in watching other
folk hiking along the thoroughfares
in more or less speedy pursuit OF
their hats. The most severe wind
storm of the fall season was prevail
ing and the chilly breezes had a ye-
locity of several miles a minute,
Judging from the speed with which
the hats sailed in the teeth of the
gale. A conservative estimate plac-
es the number of hats which are
lodged this evening along the banks
OF the Arroyo Pecos at 327.
About 1880 o'clock light fall OF
snow and rain occurred. Many peo-
ple attempted to carry umbrellas.
Nearly all these persons had the fol

SUPREME COURT IS SAFE
PARKER is BEHIND WRIGHT AND
ROBERTS BUT WILL PULL
THROUGH EASILY

With the exception of the fact that
the increased number of returns avail
able has strengthened the lead of the
republican state candidates, the politi-
cal situation resulting from the first
state election of last Tuesday Is prac-
tically the same as yesterday Mala-
quias Martinez Of Taos has been de-
feated for the Office of lieutenant gov
ernor by B. G. de Baca of this city.
Other candidates on the state ticket
are undoubtedly elected.
George Curry, candidate for con-
gress, is running ahead of the other
members of the ticket His majority
will be the largest rolled up by any
republican whose name appears upon,
the ballots. Secundino Romero of
this city, candidate for secretary of
state, will be elected, it is believed,
when the final count is made, al
though he is running considerably be-
hind the other gat espfflcers.

the committee, however, that this
would not cause Mr.. Curry to lose his

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
DETAILS OF A NEW FUNDAMEN-
tai LAW FOR THE PRoPos-
ED REPUBLIC

Pehng, Nov. 1.-THE throne and
government alternated between hope
and despair today. This morning a
telegram was received from Yuan
Shi Kai, in which he said he was un-
able to come to Peking and express
ed pessimistic view of the situation.
A second message, coming several
hours later, was more cheerful.
The dispatches were directed to the
foreign board and in the first Yuan
Shi Kai said: THE outlook is de-
cidedly gloomy. | DO not expect to
be able to effect the desired pacifi.
cation. Moreover, my health is SO
feeble that / am unable to come to
Peking and assume the post of pre-
mier"
Gloom settled deeper over the Off
cial family when this was read for |
they had in mind yesterdays an
nouncement of the Chinese papers
that Yuan Shi Kai had been invited
by General Lii Yuen Heng, the lead
er of the revolutionists, to become
president, of the republic of China
pending the assembling of a parlia-
ment,
1t seemed as though the last prop
of the throne had given way. Yuans
second telegram, however, was
a cheering surprise. 1t informed the
foreign board that the negotiations
with General Ii Yuan Heng had TAX
en- turn for the better and that
General I'll had shown signs OF be-
coming less irreconcilable and pos
sibly would agree to a peaceful com
nromise in order to avert further
bloodshed. Yuan added that LIS col
leagues differed on matters of policy
and that trouble might arise among
them.
The president of the foreign board
hurried to the quarters OF Prince
Ching, the acting premier, with the
latest dispatch, and Ching lost no
time in conveying the tidings to the
throne.

NoRMALs PLAY IN SANTA FE.

At the request of R. P. Asplund,
secretary of the Educational Associa'
ton of New Mexico, which will meet
the latter part of next week in San
ia Fe, DR.. Frank H. H. Roberts,
president of the Normal University,
is making arrangements for the Nor
NAL football team to go to the An
cient city on Thursday to meet the
husky football warriors from the
University of New Mexico. Bad
weather made it necessary to call off
the game with the university boys
several weeks ago and, as the teams
are anxious to meet on the gridiron,
the arrangement is agreeable to both
OF the schools. The schools are clos
ed on the dates of the teachers con
vention and this makes IL possible
for the Normal boys to go to Santa
Fe on Thursday. The state varsity
has tied the New Mexico Military
school team, one of the huskiest foot
ball squads in the state, and if the
Normal boys make a good showing
against them they can well be proud
of themselves. Teachers from all Ov
er the state will be in Santa Fe al
the time and large crowds of th'
learned ones will undoubtedly be OF
hand to witness the contest.

ASKS KANSAS TO GET IN line
SAYS THAT STATE SHOULD GET
OUT OF REPUBLICAN COLUMN
BUT GIVES NO REASONS.

Dodge City, Kan, Nov 1.-THE
great battle of 1912 must be fought
on the splendid record of the demo-
Gratis in this, the sixty-second congress-
and upon that record we can win. NOT
only next year, but for years to
come"
Thus spoke Champ Clark, speaker
of the national house of representa-
tives, today in addressing the demo-
cratic congressional convention, which
met here to nominate a successor to
the late Judge e. II. Madison of the
Seventh district. George Neeley,
lawyer of Hutchinson, who was de-
fetated by Judge Madison at the last
election, had no opposition for the
nomination today.
81 am here for the purpose and in
the hope of sending another demo
cratic congressman to Washington"
continued Speaker Clark, ito keep
company with Joe Taggart, who last
Tuesday won such brilliant victory
in the SECOND Kansas district. May
his tribefincrease. Now that Kansas
has taken the first step in lsmng
herself wish the, democrats, itis oaDe
hoped that she viii go swhcle hog to
use a homely expression, ahd become
a safely democratic state, as she
should by every rule of logic and coms
mon sense.
Somebody may inquire why I am
so desirous of electing another demo
crat when we have already 65 ma
jority in the house. The answer is
simple. In the present house of 391
while on full vote it re-
auires only 1876 votes to pass a bill,
we have to have 262 votes to pass a
bill over the presidential veto. While
we passed all our tariff bills originally
by vote of two to one, when we
came to pass them over the presi-
dents veto we lacked IA votes to hav-
ing enough. A change of seven votes
would have given us the victory.
much pressure was brought to
bear on republican members to in
duce them to save the president the
of having his vetoes over
ridden. l am informed and believe
the fact to be that when the house
was voting on the vetoes, four cabinet
members were on the floor with the
White House patronage and the
White House power to persuade or
coerce republicans into voting to sus-
tain the presidents vetoes.
'It may be that some republican
brethren who voted to
sustain the vetoes at the extraordin-
ary session have learned something
during the congressional vacation by
keeping their ears to the ground and
may vote with us if there are any
more presidential wetoes on tariff
bills. But we know that Neeley will
vote with us and one vote may be de-
cisive of the result"
Speaker Clark quoted United States
Senator Works of California as say
ing: "Taft and LaFollette are des-
tined to face each other in the next
republican convention and if it were
left to popular vote today La Fol-
Iette would be nominated and easily,
too"

Clark, "as do many other eminent re-
publicans-all of which tends to illus
trate the peculiar brand Of harmony

SPECIAL TRAIN TO run
FROM new MEXICO
BUREAU OF IMMIGRATION ISSUES
CIRCULAR BOOSTING THE
IRRIGATION CONGRESS

Albuquerque, n M, Nov. 11.-Lead
ers in irrigation development and
promotion work in New Mexico are
actively engaged in encouraging in
terest in the National Irrigation CON
gress which will meet in Chicago De.
cember 5 to 8 next. 1t is pointed out
that this will be the most important
and most largely attended meeting
of the congress ever held; that the
issue at stake involves the very life
of the congress; since it has been
proposed to take it into the south
and reorganize it as drainage con-
gress.
New Mexico, just admitted to the
Union, is more interested than any
other western state in the continued
activity of the Irrigation congress
and the continuation of national and
private reclamation work. Four mil
lion acres of irrigable land are
awaiting development and the atten-
ton of capital and of farmers must
be drawn to this state if our develop
ment is to proceed.
The ideal time for advertising New
Mexico is right now when we are
Just entering the Union and there
is no better place for reaching those
interested in irrigable lands and their
development than at the National ir-
rigation congress.
With this in view those interested
are now vigorously agitating the run
ming of a special train from New
Mexico to Chicago, this train to be
known as the New State Special to
carry New Mexico passengers only,
to leave New Mexico December l,
stopping at principal points along the
route both going and returning. Many
people have already signified their
intention of going on the special
which will be decorated throughout
with banners and which it is pro
posed to load with tons of New Mex
leo advertising matter. It is neces
say, however, If the train is to run
that not less than 100 persons &c
with it, paying full railroad and Pull
man fare. The time is very short
and the party must be organized
within the next two weeks if it is tc
go.
The Bureau of immigration today
sent out the following letter to al
sections of New Mexico, asking for i'm
mediate responses as to those intend
ing to attend the Irrigation congres
and those desiring to join the specia
train:

and death notices. have a collection
of from twelve to fifteen thousand of
such. Among them are many that
are curious and humorous, but the
limit was reached in The New York

Thy Welcome.

By T. Brunswick Huestis.
For THE PAL1sApIAN:
When shall I see thy tender loved
eyes shine
With love-lit glance reproachfu1 into
mine,
AS tho to ask how could I for one
day
Remain contented from thy side
away?
When shall I feel thy soft responsive
touch,
Tense, trembling, taut, from longing
overmuch,
Take from thine eager lips the sweetly
clinging kiss
That browns past sorrow in the pres
ent bliss?
When shall I hear thy sweet voice
softly say,
"Oh love, dear love, I've waited many
Days that have fled in sorrow and
unrest.
That knows no solace save upon thy
breast?"
All when tbs DER and ended the long
wait,
Swift love-winged footsteps meet me
at the gate;
Then, love,ah! then, forgotten all the
pain;
It's dismal winter past; it's summer
come again.
Dear, in my heart thy royal welcome
home
Stills all desire e'er to hayward roam;
filings needless chain DER love, that
kindly grown
Encrowns thee, dearest, queen upon
thy throne.
