all the bosses in the state ring from

G. w. Prichard, Alfred Ruiz, Man

a large and enthusiastic crowd at
Gallup Saturday night.
The size of the crowd, the enthusi-
asm displayed and the spirit of de-
termination everywhere evident
among the voters of Mckinley coun-
ty assures that unless the companies
operating the big coal camps are al
lowed to brazenly steal the election,

able condition which it stands for, is
certain and Mckinley county viii

cratic ticket.
we had an enthusiastic reception
and the prospects are most encour~
aging, said Mr.. Vigil yesterday The
only way we can be beaten out there
is by the voting of the payroll at the
mines, and from all | can learn the
coal outfits are going to vote every
last foreigner in the county or know
the reason why. Nineteen Japanese
are registered at the Navajo mine of
the Victor American company and
the democrats are unable to get cop
les Of the registration lists. Unless

1t is understood That Mr.. Pitts, the
man forced off the democratic ticket
by the Victor american company,
says that he was not asked In so
many words to get off but the propo-
sltlon was put up to him none the
less plainly that if he stayed on he
would lose his job. Meanwhile an
other employe of the company, f.

company's store at Gibson, is a re-
publican gang candidate for county
commissioner and the company Is said
TO De backing him heavily for the JOB.
lhe reception to the progressive

leit nothing to be desired and every

Charleston, 5. g., Oct 29,-Joseph
Pulitzer. proprietor OF the New York
World and the ST. Louis POST Dis
patch. died at l:40 o'clock today
abroad his yacht. the Liberty, in
Charleston harbor The immediate
cause of Mr.. Pulitzer's death was
heart failure. He had been In i'll
health for several days. but until
few hours before the end, none of
those around his suspected the grav-
ity of his condition,
The change for the worst came at
about o'clock this morning. when
he suffered an attack of severe pain.
BY daylight he appeared to be bet
ter and fell asleep after 1890. He
awoke at l o'clock and complained of
a pain in his heart. Soon he fell into
a faint and expired at 14O o'clock.
Mrs. Pulitzer arrived from New
York and was conveyed in tele-
shortly before her husband died. At
his bedside when the end came also
was his youngest son. Herbert who
had been cruising with his father.
Mr.. Pulitzers body win be taken
north tomorrow afternoon on u
special Pullman car. The funeral
viii be held at Woodlawn cemetery
in New York. probably toward the
end of the week.
Mr.. pnltzer's son, Joseph Jr., ls
now on his way from S. Louis with
his wife. and one of his daughters
win come from Florida. Ralph Pulit-
ger. the Oldest son, Is on his way to
Charleston and will meet the train
EN- route.
Up to an hour and a half before
his death, Mr. pulitzer's mind re-.
mained perfectly clear His German
secretary had been reading to him an
account Of the reign of Louis XI. of
France. In whose career Mr.. Pulitzer
had always taken the livllest interest.
AS the secretary neared the end of his
chapter and came TO the death of the
French king, Mr.. Pulitzer said to
him:
"Leise, ganz, leise.' (softly quite
softly) These were the last words
he spoke.
Albuquerque morning journal. [volume] (Albuquerque, N.M.) 1903-1926, 1911-10-30

such a nature that Don Francisco,
who had lahoriously splashed through
the mud to attend the meeting with
his handful of followers, had a face
a yard long all through the address
and squirmed around as II sitting on
a hot potato. Mr.. Larrazolo, In dis
cussing the celebrated case of Mr..
Bursum and the penitentiary said
among other things, that II Mr.. Bur-
sum was guilty as charged Mr.. Hag-
erman was recreant to his duty in
not putting him in the penitentiary.
"He would. II ne hadn't been re-
moved Just in time" yelled man in
the audience. Mr.. Larrazolo had
nothing 10 say in reply.
Judge Edward A. Mann, whose
chief claim to fame lies in the fact
that as district attorney he pernicious-
ly opposed Hon. stroup in that gem
tleman's effort to save the general de-
ficieney fund from the taxpayers, had
some remarks to make, among other
things declaring that Ex-Governor
Hagerman never worked for five cents
In his life, inheritlng all his money
from his father. Owing TO the re-
markable and rather serious industry
now being displayed by Ex-Governor
Hagerman this point was broken off
and was received with the same dub
ious suspicion as greeted the rest of
the remarks Of Mr. Hubbell's office
boy. Judge Mann paid his respects
to Messrs. NJ. A .Otero and G.. w.
Prichard and others who are now en-
gagged In trimming Judge Mann's
gubernatorial candidate to farewell
finish. and sat down. A. A. Sedillo,
Mr. Hubbelps candidate for district
attorney, was the remaining speaker,
but as he failed to praise Jesus Ro-
nero he was unable TO secure the ap-
plause which Mr.. Larrazolo elected.
Mr.. Hubbell and others who ar
ranged for the Larrazolo meeting.
again made the serious mistake of
advertising II in the Trib Cit. so that
only the imported spectators were
present; but charity commands us to
say that II was a very, very bad night
as every night is when the gang
tries to pull off Il demonstration.
The fact however, that the meeting
developed into an ovation to Jesus Ro
nero made II well worth while and
Don Francisco and his friends are to
be cordially thanked for their con-
sideration.

PROMINENT FIGURE IN
AMERICAN JOURNALISM

New York, oct. 29--"Mr. Pulitzer
died of heart failure today on board
his yacht Liberty in the harbor of
Charleston, after an illness of two
days" This was the first news of
Mr.. Puitzers death received in New
York and was conveyed in a tele-
gram from his secretary
Mr. Pulitzer accompanied by his
younger son, Herbert left New York
aboard his yacht October 20, intend
ing to take a leisurely voyage to Jeykl
Island near Brunswick Ga, where
he had winter home.
Aside from a heavy cold which had
prevented him from taking his cus-
tomary drive In Central park for
day. Mr. Pulitzer was In his usual
health when he left this city. He was
taken I'll on Friday and the yacht put
nto Charleston. His illness proving
to be serious, Il telegram was sent to
his wife, who left New York for
Charleston yesterday, arriving shortly
before he died. The body will be
brought to New York tomorrow.
For more than quarter Of a cen-
tury, Joseph Pulitzer was one of the
leading figures In American journal
ism. Born in Hungary in 1Si7 I'D
educated there, he came to this
country in 1868, enlisted in the Union
army and served as a cavalryman un-
til the end of the war. when he set
tied In st. Louis. For many years his
newspaper training was as news
paper reporter and afterwards as
city editor, managing editor and part
proprietor of the Westliche Post,
edited by Carl Schurz, He bought
the st. Louis Dispatch in 1878 and
united 1t with the Post as the POST
Dispatch, which under his manage
ment became in few years, one of
the best known and most widely cir
culated journals of the country.
MIR. Pulitzers entry into New York
journalism occurred In 1888, when he
bought the World, then paper of
small circulation Its circulation and
prestige grew rapidly under his gen.
eral direction building to house
it. which he erected in 1890 on Park
Row. was until over-topped by the
skyserapers OF later years, one OF the
most striking of New York's office
Mr. Pulitzers sight began TO fail
in the late eighties and after n time
he became totally blind, Since then
he has been partial invalid, but up
to the last had kept general super
vision over his newspaper properties
here and In st. Louis He had also
taken pronounced interest in civic af-
fairs. Much of his wealth has been
given for educational purposes. He
