nation of Mr. Sanchez and moved
that it be made by acclamation. This
brought fourth tremendous applause.
Mr.. Sanchez is competent and able
man and will make the people of San
Miguel county a good assessor if
elected, which he undoubtedly will be
next month.
The nominations for county COM
missioners win be learned by the pub
lie with appreciation. The men whom
the republicans selected for these
important positions are Fidel Ortiz,
Antonio Gallegos and John H. York.
The latter was nominated by accla-
nation. Other candidates were placed
in nomination for the commissioner
ships in the districts represented by
Messrs. Ortiz and Gallegos but they
gracefully submitted to the will of the
convention when it selected those
gentlemen for the honor.
DR.. H. F. Des Marias, the present
county superintendent of schools,
was nominated to succeed himself.
1t was reward and acknowledgment
of recognized ability that secured for
DR.. Des Marias his denomination. Dur
ing the time that DR.. Des Marias has
been school superintendent in this
county the efficiency OF the school
system has increased many fold. The
number of districts in which schools
are conducted has been nearly dou-
bled and the length of the school
terms has been increased. Benigno
Romero was DR.. Des Marias' opponent
for nomination. He took his defeat
gracefully and pledged his support,
just as effectively and heartily as it
tho past, to the republican party.
Adalaido Tafoya was named for
probate judge. There were three can.
didates for the position amonb whom
was Nepomuceno Segura.
The legislative ticket is particularly
strong. George Trip of East Las
Vegas, a Santa Fe trainman, was
named as were Jose Lovato> and Fran

SAYS WORLD GROWS BETTER.
W. J. Bryan Delivers Interesting Lee
ture on "Slgns Of the Times.

Brilliant oratorically, but more con-
sentative in the main than his utter
ances used TO be, was William J. Bry-
ans lecture on signs or the times,
in the North Woodward NJ. z. church,
Friday evening. The lecture was we'll
attended and Mr.. Bryan's talk drew
liberal applause.
The speaker told OF the progress OF
the world in various lines, showing
that there had been a general move
ment for broader education. better CIV
IL government and higher moral stan
dards. He referred TO the agitation
for reform in all branches OF govern
ment that has swept the United States
and declared that the day or the boss
in politics Is rapidly passing. de ex-
pressed the belief that the Irish home
rule bill will be passed by the present
British parliament and was willing 10
risk his reputation as a prophet on
the prediction that the resolution for
the election OF United States senator's
by direct vote OF the people will be
passed by both houses OF congress In
the coming special session. Mr.. Bryan
recalled that the election OF senators
by direct vote was first advocated
% years ago, and that he made 1t
plank in his platform when he frst
ran for congress, 20 years ago. With
reference 10 the recall he said:
There is only one way to defend
ofice-holding. The people must need
the officer. II Is not that the once
holder needs the people. We have
poorhouses for the men whom the
public must support"
Immediately after the lecture, Mr..
Bryan boarded a train for Dubuque,
Ia. and will go from there to his home

ments, after the reclamation project
is declared formally opened. That
will be two years from now. Each
farm OF the 20O,000-odd acres pledged
repays at the rate OF SAC per
acre. That makes il $3.50 per acre
per year. But, by the time the re-
payment begins, we will have a much
larger income from the electric pow
er than we have now. We now re-
ceive from this source 100000 per
year AS the demand for power in.

With the power from proposed new
plants we will have an estimated an.

SPOT but shortly afterward stocks
began to strengthen and TOWARDS the
close became very strong at advances
extending 10 about one point over the
opening prices IL seems apparent
now as seemed probable yesterday that
the selling OF yesterday was for short
account and some large operators We're
buying to make a small turn on the
short side Their success was prob
ably not very great. With such
market II is very dirricult TO have liked
opinions from day to DAY. We believe
that Consolidated Gas Will sell higher

a long turn. The trust decisions still
