BuRsuM FOR GOVERNOR

Socorro, N. NJ, Aug. 22.-The citi-
zens of Socorro have a candidate for
governor of the state of New Mexico
in the person of Mayor H. o. Bursum.
The nomination was made last even
ing at the vion-partisan rally in the
plaza, held to celebrate the signing of
the statehood bill by the president.
The nomination was received with an
enthusiasm which left no doubt in the
minds of those present that the people
of Socorro are firmly convinced that
their mayor is the man to preside over
the destinies of the new state. But
the mayor is not SO sure. While ex-
pressing his appreciation of the dem
onstration of esteem by his fellow citi-
zens, he was not prepared to go on
record as candidate for the govern
orship or any other office just yet,
and thought it would be well to wait
until the republican state convent 1ll
has had opportunity to pass upon the
question of party candidates.

CAPT. LEAHY'S BOOM
FOR JUDGE LAUNCHED
PRESENT UNITED STATES AT
TORNEY'S CANDIDACY MEETS
POPULAR APPROVAL.

Santa Rosa, N. NJ, Aug. 22-The re-
port reached here from Las Vegas
this morning that Captain David j.
Leahy, United States attorney for
New Mexico, would probably accept
the nomination for district judge in
the new district to be composed of
Guadalupe, San Miguel and Mora
counties.
The news was no sooner received
than a decided boom was started for
him here. Captain Leahy has long
been the choice for Judge in this
county, but recently the impression
has become prevalent that an oppor-
tunity would be offered to vote for
him for the first governor of the new
state. There can be no doubt that
the captain will receive the solid sup
port of Guadalupe county for judge of
the district, and his candidacy will
add greatly to the strength of the
ticket in this county.
There is no timber here for dis
trict attorney, and this county must
look to San Miguel for candidates for
both judge and prosecutor. The am
nouncement of who the candidates
for the district attorney will be is
awaited here with interest.

AN EXTRA VENIRE IS ISSUED
THIRTY ADDITIONAL MEN SUB
PoENAED FOR POSSIBLE SER
VICE IN CASE.
SMALL ARMY OF WITNESSES
BOTH STATE AND DEFENSE HAVE
OVER A SCORE OF PERSONS
WHO WILL TESTIFY.

Chesterfield Court House, Va, Aug.
22.-Sheriff Gill today summoned an
additional venire of thirty residents
of the county for possible jury duty
in the Beattie case. There was no
session of the court today and Henry
Clay Beattie, Jr., remained in the
Henry county Jail at Richmond.
When court adjourned last night
until Wednesday at noon, the jury
box was filled. But four of the twelve
jurymen were subject to peremptory
challenge by the defense and it was
said that all of these challenges would
be exercised.
For the first time since his arrest
more than month ago on charge
of wife murder, there was made pub
lie today the list of witnesses who
will be called in the defense of
Beattie, who pleaded not guilty when
arraigned yesterday. 1t had been
long known that the prosecution had
summoned more than sixty witnesses
but not until today was there any
inkling Of the plans OF the defense.
The fact is known that Beattie's
lawyers have summoned twenty-four
witnesses, five of them women. The
majority of these summoned are for
er associates or former fellow en-
p'oyes Of Paul Beattie, held as a ma
terial witness in the case and through
them the defense will try to break
down Paul's story Of having pur-
chased the single barrel shotgun for
Henry, three days before the murder.
Several persons who live near the
scene of the crime will be called to
testify to hearing calls for help and
the sounding of a motorhorn. The
story of the prisoner is that his wife
was shot at his side by mysterious
bearded man in the road and that he,
Henry, called for aid.
Others to be called in the defend
ants behalf are young women who
lived near Beattie and his wife DUR
ing their short married life. They
will be asked to support Henry's
statements that their home life was
all that it should be and that quarrels
between them were unknown.
The twelve jurors chosen yesterday
were placed in the custody Of the
sheriff

Washington, Aug. 22.-Champ Clark
speaker of the house of representa-.

special session of the Sixty-second
congress today declared that tie
democratic party has set good ex-
ample for democrats everywhere and
that the party had redeemed every
promise it made in the campaign of
1910.
"At this session the democrats have
made record which has surprised
our friends and dumfounded our enc
miles, said Speaker Clark. "It has
put heart and hope into democrats
everywhere. The extra session was
extraordinary, not only in the sense
of being a special session, called by
the president, but also in the amount
and quality of the work done in the
house by the combined democrats and
insurgents and the combined demo-
Gratis and republican insurgents in
the senate, and especially by the
unanimity of action developed by the
house democrats.
1--WE redeemed every promise made
in order to carry the elections in
1910. We have economical; we
passed the reciprocity bill, the wool
tariff revision bill; the cotton bill,
with the senate amendments, which
included the addition of the iron and
steel schedule and the chemical
schedule; We submitted to the ratifi-
cation of the constitutional amend
ment providing for the popular cleo
tion of senators of the United States;
we passed bill for the publication
of campaign expenses before the cleo
tions we liberalized the rules, max
ing the rules committee elective by
the house; we passed resolution to
admit New Mexico and Arizona to
statehood and we passed large num-
Der of other bills of more or less i'm
portance. 1t is record of which we
may well be proud and on which we
will sweep the country in 1872
Whats writ is writ, and whatever
the future may have in store, the hon.
or of having perfect unanimity
among the democrats and of achiev-
ing an extraordinary amount of con-
craftsmanship at this extra
ordinary session can never be taken
away from us. Every democrat in
the house and every insurgent repub-
lican who stood UP to the rack is
entitled to his fall share of credit"
Republican Leader Mann Of the
house, in statement issued today,
giving the minority view Of the work
of the extra session of the democratic
house, declared that the net result
was to strengthen the president and
weaken democracy and the democrats
for trying to put the president in
hole,"

THE CLOSE
COTTON BILL VETO LAST ACT
DISAPPRovAL OF THIS MEASURE
RECEIVED WITH NOISY DEM
oNsTRATloN IN HOUSE

Washington, Aug. 22.-The extra
ordinary session of the Sixty-second
congress. marked by the passage of
the Canadian reciprocity bill, vetoed
tariff revision legislation, the state
hood and other important measures,
adjourned sine die at 1902 o'clock this
afternoon. President Taft, who had
just vetoed the cotton bill, the last
of the three revision bills adversely
acted on, was present in his room with
members of his cabinet.
Presiding officers of both houses
Of congress delivered short speeches
felicitating the members regardless of
party, upon the good will shown dur
ing the session and expressing best
wishes for them during the recess
of congress The regular session. of
congress will begin on December 4.
The veto of the cotton bill was re-
ceived with a noisy demonstration.
There were scarcely hundred mem
bers in the chamber when its reading
was begun Republicans applauded
and democrats laughed, the latter
demonstration coming over the presi-
dents statement that the cotton sched-
ule had been revised without proper
investigation.
The presidents message vetoing
the cotton bill was read in the house
at 2:o2 p. m. AS in the case of the
wool and free list bills the president
based his objection to the cotton bill
largely upon the fact that the tariff
boara had not as yet had time to sub
nit report on the schedule. He also
declared that the cotton bill was
adopted without any investigation or
information of a satisfactory character
as to its effect on the cotton indus
try.
The presidents arrival at his room
at the capitol nearly emptied the
senate, the vice president and SEN
ators joining in the welcome. The
president was in jovial mood and re-
ferred happily to the trip on which
he will start tonight for Rochester,
N. Y, and for his summer home at
Beverly, Mass, where he will rest be-
fore leaving on his long tour across
the continent.
The joint committee of congress at
2:40 notified the president that con-
gress was ready to adjourn. Vice
President Sherman in declaring the
senate adjourned, expressed the be-
lief that all senators had been brought
into closer touch during this session.
'T am happy In the belief that a pro-
tracted, and at times a strenuous ses-
sion, rather than generating ill>will,"
he said, has brought us all into
closer touch with each other" He
was sure each senator departed car
rying the best wishes of his fellows
and looking forward to renewed pub
lie service in December. He closed
by saying: 81 declare the extraor-
binary session of the sixty-seeond
congress adjourned without delay"
Chairman Fitzgerald of the house
appropriations committee in review
ing the work of the extra session to-
day stated that the appropriations of
congress during the extra session ag-
gregated $SO1,O52 He declared that
no session of congress has ever run
for SO long a period and appropriated
so little.
