The solemnity OF the occasion,
which was believed to signalize the
birth OF the new party, impressed IL.
self upon the gathering. and a hush
fell over the crowd, broken cy the
voice of the speaker
Governor Johnson, in his opening
address, appealed to the delegates to
stay in the fight.
This is a solemn OCCASION" he told
them, las 1t was last night when we
met to tender the nomination for
president to Roosevelt. The time for

HADLEY STANDS FIRMLY
FOR REGULAR REpUBIlCANTSM

Jefferson City, Mo-, June 23.--Gov-
ernor Hadley on his return from the
Chicago convention declared his de-
termination not to join Roosevelt's
third party movement.
Il can render more usecul public
service as a member of the republi-
can party than by joining I.i the
formation of third party" he said.
while l have in no way changed my
mind as to the correctness of that
for which | contended, l undertake
to say that no political party ever did
or ever will exist in which at times
men will not use authority unfairly
and TO accomplish selfish and i'm
proper ends.
I'm my opinion the best way sue
cessfully to fight such men and meth
ods and also the best way I'm which
to fight for correct principles OF gov
ernment is within the party rather
than by leaving it.
Some planks were oslitted from
the platform which I should like to
have seen adopted. but there will be
found. l believe, In the platform moth
ing that is Objectionable to any re-
publican. while IL is the most pro-
gressive platform we have ever pre-
sented to the American people,.
There win be no abandonment In
this state of the progressive principles
for which we have contended.
Whatever the effects OF tho con
vention elsewhere. il has resulted In
reconciling to a considerable extent
the differences in the party I'm this
state. and the work that now con-
fronts us is to go forward to another
victory in Missouri

Il. w. FEE SEES THE
CLOUDBUtST AT CANYON

Perhaps the most vivid story of the
cloudburst was told by T.. w. Fee, OF
this city, who, with his family. had
been spending the day picnicking in
Bear canyon and had Just begun prep
arations for the return trip when the
wall Of water swept down the canyon.
''rhe first intimation we had that
anything had happened. was a deaf
ening roar, which grew louder as II
neared out camp. We Immediately
got to high ground and not any too
soon, either. for n few minutes later
IA tremendous body of water, from
twelve to fifteen feet In depth swept
down the canyon with a roar like the
cataract of Niagara falls.
we started back to Albuquerque
ia short time afterward, but becuuse
OF the flood found great difficulty in
crossing the swollen arroyos, all OF
which were running bank full. As
we drove along. We noticed that the
cloudburst had been general over a
wide area, Baca and Pino canyo ons as
well as Bear canyon having been
swept by the flood.
'The road running north from
Fourth street for several miles was
under from one to two feet a water
when we drove In and the country as
far as we could see, was submerged.
',It was the worst flood ! have ever
seen in this section and no doubt VIII
do considerable damage to crops.
II heard nothing on the way In OF
any loss Of life and do not think that
anyone was drowned"

AUTOMOBILE MAROONED
ON MESA by FLOOD

& The cloudburst caught three motor
cars on the mesa and they are there
yet. Several other cars We're caught
in the flow Of waters down different
arroyos and In low places, but only
three are reported stranded. These
three are a Maxwell. belonging to
Dodson's garage, which had taken
man Bleuher, which was caught in an
arroyo. and an overland. whose own
er is not known.
The Ford was occupied by young
er son OF Mr.. Bleuher, and George r
Hill. They drove the car down into
an arroyo. where a little water was
running. but the stream unexpected
ly reached their carburetor. and as
they started TO crank up, wall of
water struck them Both gentlemen
had to stand on the seats of the ma
chine, where they We're ankle deep in
water, until the highest of the flow
had gone by. They left the car and
walked into town.
The Maxwell was stuck earlier in
the afternoon. and the party In IL tel
ophoned In to Oakley Clifford to come
and rescue them. Clifford went out
after them In his taxi, and although
he traded batteries with the Maxwell
car, was unable to bulge II. He got
stuck four times on the way In, but
pulled out each time. arriving In AL
huuuerque late in the afternoon. Mr.,
Clifford declared that the roads on
the mesa were all running full of wet
er. and that II was impossible to trav-
el any OF them. He said that the
only way to get car across was to
take to the open country. and that II
it stopped on that II would sink six
or eight inches in the mud at once.
Oscar Bleuher drove a car down
from Santa Fe late yesterday after
noon, and struck the water on the
North Fourth street road near the
Indian school. He turned over into
the hill road, and after serious trou-
BILE. got In to this city about IL o'clock
last night.
He said that the whole country
north of Albuquerque was flooded
and that traffic along the roads there
would be impossible for several days.
Al least
