in New Mexico-The First Genuine
Enthusiasm

Convention Hall. Chicago, June 49,
If some one had seized the psyche
logical moment this afternoon, in the
seething, turbulent, milling mass of
delegates in the national convention,
Ex-Governor Hadley could have snatch
ed the palm of victory for himself and
at the same time have made the nom.
ination of Champ Clark by the Demo
Gratis a ludicrous impossibility He
was called for again and again by the
yelling Republicans.
1t was at the conclusion of the de-
bate over the Hadley motion to unseat
90 of the Taft delegates when Watson
said he believed Hadley would consent
to refer the question of the committee
on credentials when appointed. He
passed back to where Hadley stood,
and they passed down to the front of
the Platform and stood side by side
amid uproariOus cheering which lasted
several minutes.
The cheering became deafening. At
first few of the Taft delegates partici-
pated in it but later they joined.
Stubbs Leads Off.
Governor Stubbs of Kansas, standing
on chair, was prominent in the
cheering.
AT last New York and Indiana join
ed, and finally nearly the whole body
of delegates was on its feet yelling.
The regard of the convention as a
whole for Hadley was apparent all day
today.
New Jersey uprooting its sign, led a
procession up the aisle.
Other States join.
Missouri West Virginia, North Car
olina, Kansas, Oklahoma followed. The
noise was deafening.
Ohio and Nebraska joined the yell
ing parade. Massachusetts,, California
and Minnesota followed. Pennsylva-
mia joined and South Dakota also took
a hand.
Watson Also Popular.
There was tremendous ovation to
Hadley and Watson, lasting many min
utes. A dozen or more delegations,
all yelling at the top of their voices,
marched around the hall, amid tremen-
dous, thunderous noise.
A round of applause greeted James
+. Watson, who concluded the argu-

SUPER|NTENJENTS
MAY DRAW PAY
In Response to Inquiry From
White, Attorney General
So Holds
THEY GET THE OLD SALARY
The Constitutional Provision for
County Officials Does Not
Apply to Office

Despite the veto Of the county salary
bill, county school superintendent
may continue to draw the same pay as
was provided for their respective off.
ces under territorial government ac-
cording to an opinion rendered today
by Frank w. Clancy, attorney general
in response to an inquiry from Alvan
n. White, state superintendent. Mr.
Clancy, in brief, holds that the con.
stitutional provisions affecting other
county salaries, as passed upon by the
state supreme court, do not apply to
the Office of county superintendent OF
schools:
The opinion in full is as follows:
Santa Fe, n. NJ, June is, 1912.
Hon. Alvan n. White, State Superin-
tendent of Public instruction, Santa
Fe, n. M.
Dear Sir-I have before me your let
ter of the 17th instant and take the
first possible opportunity to answer
Y ou say that in February, 1912, in ac-
cordance with sec. q, chapter 81, laws
of 1907, you fixed the salaries OF
county school superintendents for the
year 1912, subject to such action as
might be taken by the first state legis-
lature under section one of article X
OF the constitution as to the classified.
tion of counties and the fixing of sal
aries OF county officers. You further
say that in view of the fact that the
county salary bill has been vetoed
county superintendents have requested
you for an opinion with reference to
their salaries and that, unless the de
cision recently rendered by the SUI
preme court makes it illegal for the
superintendent to draw their salaries
as fixed by you, it would seem that
the salaries so fixed might be quarterly
drawn by county superintendents anG
you request my opinion upon the ques
! ton.
| The section of the constitution upor
which was based the recent decision
OF our supreme court provides that NJ
county officer should receive any fee!

ment against the Hadley motion. From
the gallery came a shout of "Hooray
for Sunny JIM"
Watson asked whether the delegates
felt able to judge on the merits of all
the cases involved in Hadley's motion.
He pointed out that but few of the con-
tests had been discussed by the speak
erS.
A Roar of "Noes"
Now you are not in position to
judge the merits of these controver-
sies," said Watson A roar OF mo-
came up from the delegates.
You are in no position you are in
no temper-if you will excuse my
saying soto judge these cases.
Renewed Calls for HadIey.
Watson was interrupted several
times and there were renewed calls
Tor Hadley. The governor appeared
and was accorded the greatest ovation
thus far.
The uproar showed no diminution
after twenty minutes.
Wild Welcome for Missourian.
Both floor and galleries We're on
their feet, Whistling, cheering, yelling,
pounding chairs, and stamping their
feet.
Watson and Root Joined in conver-
sation with Hadley as he stood waiting
for the wild welcome to cease.
But the tumult went on and on. Hats
were thrown in the air and one en-
thuSiastic negro delegate raised an
umbrella and cast it above his head.
In one corner OF the hall, Governor
Stubbs of Kansas, his light hair gleam-
ing, waved his arms wildly leading
cheer after cheer.
The California delegation endeav-
ored to put up their Roosevelt banners
and start around the hall, but Ser
geant-at-arms Stone quickly halted
them.
Teddy Drowned Out by HadIey.
In the midst of the ovation to Had,

The crowd never changed its steady

A beautiful girl in the gallery waved

One of the Ohio delegates grabbed

Westminster Abbey.

All visitors to London make 1t a point to visit the famous Westminster abbey. But in reality there is no such place as Westminster abbey, because the abbey disappeared many, many years ago What they see now is the church that used to belong to the ab- bey. and the proper name for this building is the Collegiate Church of St. Peter. They keep up the old name Westminster abbey because people like it, just as they keep the blood stains in the Tower freshened up with paint now and then.-New York Sun.
