At exactly ten minutes after elgnt
the Lusitania lifted anchor thls
morning and midst the Shrek OF wnls-
ties, the cheers Of passengers, and Dy-
standers, and the waving OF pennants'
steamed south.
The Lusitania was filled with dele
gates to the first state convention OF
the Republican party which meets to-
morrow at Las Vegas to put tuli
tic..st in the field.
The Lusitania, by the way, Is the
Pullman car chartered by delegates
and enthusiasts and was hitched on to
the Lamy train which carried IN It's
parlor car and day coach fully hun
dred passengers, many of them Las
Vegas bound. It was a busy scene
around the depot few minutes before
train time. Many had taken the pre-
caution to go to the depot early to
avoid the rlsh. In one little group
stood three. ex-governors with three
would-be governors SGet kodak and
take EN-" yelled somebody. George
Curry was one of the ex-governors and
he was twitted by his friends. One
asked Did you take your dress suit
and lorgnette to Las Vegas?"
Mr.. Curry answered that his head.
quarters would be on dry goods box
in the office of Harry Kelly, and he
would probably room at Colonel M. M
Padgett's house. Provided that we
do not disc1ss the blue ballot" he
added with a smile.
First Secretary of State George w.
Armijo, the well known rough rider,
was seen with a bundle of claret and
gold badges which he pinned on the
coats of delegates, saying "Now boys,
show your colors.'
Surveyor General John w. March
was seen walking around the Pullman
car, making survey of the most ad
vantageous locations for sitting and
finally stalking off corner lot In the
drawing room. Paul A. F. Walter
managing editor of the Santa Fe New
Mexican, who will report the proceed
ings of the convention for this paper
followed Mr.. March,s lead and placed
his typewriting machine in the draw
ing room where he will also be quar-
tered. Captain of the New Mexico
Mounted Police Fred Fornoff put In
custody very comfortable seat and
a large amount of the scenery from
the shady side Of the car. Other we'll
known Santa Feans soon boarded the
car. Among these were "the war gov
ernor" Miguel A. Otero and "the wal
horse of the G. o. p" Thomas Benton
Catron.
A Few Were Late.
It was thrilling sight to see the
delegates and others going to the sta
ton, the hackmen whipping the horses
into gallop, breaking the speed laws
and narrowly bfeaking the shafts ant
spokes. But they had to make thu
train, succeeding with close shave.
Secretary Jaffa with his family wai
at the depot in good time and talked
with several friends until the trail
pulled out.
It was merry crowd and those wht
could not make the trip sighed sigh
of regret.
Capitol ls Quiet
Only the clicks of few typewriter
showed an activity at the capitol thi
morning for almost every offlcial ha
I gone to Las Vegas to attend the RI

vented the capitol from having
