ranged for, it is SAID, Connecticut
will send fOrty-nine, each deleSAte
having one-seventh vote. Other states
will split their votes into halves,
thirds and fourths.
The national committee will settle
cortests for several states, including
Georgia, Mississippi, and South Caro-
!i1'a and Florida. The contestants,
principally, are negroes.
Colonel Roosevelt's message to
Merriam, was in part as follows: Il
wish to congratulate the Illinois Pro
g1essives on their stand for a third
ticket. This is the course that has
been decided upon in Indiana, Michi.
gan, Missouri; while there are GER
tain states where the conditions ren.
der it unnecessary, | am firmly con.
vinced, that must normally be fol-
lowed and certainly in all cases unless
there is ticket already in the field
which the Progressives are willing to
endorse and the pNminees on which
are openly in favor of Progressive Of
ectoral ticket
After temporary organization had
been effected the convention adjourn
ed until 2:30 when it was announced
that Governor Johnson of California
end Clifford Pinchot would deliver
addresses.
The convention re-convened at 5
O'Clock when Governor Hiram W.
Johnson of California, addressed the
delegates. He was given an ovation.
We've come 1000 miles for the
cause and the man. said Governor
Johnson in opening.
Eve come to you believing that you
will show that it viii be impossible to
witness such disgraceful proceeding
as was witnessed in Chicago a month
and half ago.
in our state we have preferential
primary which was set aside by the
convention in Chicago.
we nave the lHllidllSS,
and recall and we make the judicial
If yol have these weapons isn't it OBJ
vious that the disgraceful scenes of
the late republican convention can
not be repeated.
Beyond these things" continued
the Governor, there is yet a greater
| problem which must be solved in pro-
gressive fashion. The problem of
! how to bridge this chasm between
those rich who are constantly grow
ing richer and the poor who are con,
stantly growing poorer"
And so this movement, of which
you are a part, is founded on human
ity and the rights of human kind.
And SO, in the present struggle the
ultimate result will be a sane, pro.
gressive system that shall be antidote
of arnachy and the defeat of social
ism."
Amid the continued applause Gov
ernor Johnson concluded his speech
and gave way to James r. Garfield,
former secretary Of the interior. Mr..
Garfield was given a reception equal
ly as hearty as that given to Governor
Johnson.

Chicago, Ill, Aug. 3.-Little doubt
ere here for the third party conven-
ton, early today that a fill state tick
ct would be placed in the field in H.
iinois
The platform, it was said, would
among other things, declare for wom-
an suffrage, the initiative and referen-
dun, an eight hour day, for men and
women alike engaged in pursuits clas-
sed as labor.
Medill Mccormick, chairman of the
provisional state committee, called the
state convention to order at 1875
o'clock and introduced Charles E..
Merriam, as temporary chairman.
William Finn, the Pennsylvania
Roosevelt leader, who arrived here to-
day, said he was "still a republican"
and that he regarded the Progressive
convention next Monday as republi-
can.
California's delegation to the Pro-
gressive convention arrived today,
headed by Governor Hiram Johnson.
The Californians brought with them
the same two state banners used at
the republican national convention in
June.
William Finn and Governor John
sor were called into conference with
Senator Joseph Dixon and the other
leaders.
The California delegation number
ed 80, each delegate having one third
vote. This splitting of votes with
enlarged delegations is making the
seating problem in the convention a
difficult one.
Cecil Lyon, former republican ma
tional committeeman from Texas, ar
rived shortly after noon with the Tx
as delegation.
It will not be known until Monday
just how many delegates will attend

today started an investigation. 1t has
been reported that the firing was
done by Mexican rebels to attract at
tention of American soldiers to a
spot on the Rio Grande while rebel
gun runners crossed ar another point,
but this has not been confirmed Off
cially.
Ell Paso, Tex, Aug. 3.-Nearly two
hundred tents arrived today from the
United States quartermaster depart
ment at St. Louis for housing the
American refugees now here from
Mexico. Eighty were set up this af-
ternoon and many of the Mormon fanl-
lilies housed in the lumber sheds,
where they have been for week,
moved into the tents, where they can
secure some privacy. The United
States continues issuing rations.
The fact that the rebels have stop
ped the operation of trains over the
Mexico Northwestern railroad to th9
American colonies .nd towns in nor
thern Chihuahua, prevents any fur
ther refugees coming to El Paso, but
it is believed that all women and
children except those in Dolores min.
ing camp have been removed to the
States There is some uneasiness for
the American men who were working
on a railroad extension between Par
sons and Pachua, who started over
land after the rebels had taken their
provisions and horses. General Oroz-
co is still in Juarez, planning to de-
part in a few days or perhaps few
hours. The le.torL is current that
the town will be fired before he
leaves.

Declaring that he is the head of

his recent order to the mounted po-
Ice to stop all boxing bouts at ten
rounds was going to stick, Governor
Mcdonald again today re-asserted
what he has always said about prize
fighting in New Mexico.
The governor declared that he was
willing to take the odium heaped up
on him at the time of the Las Vegas
fight for he felt that he saw into the
future clear enough to know that in
the long run, the result of that fight
would convince the people that they
did not want to harbor the game in
their midst.
It's just like giving a boy, pad
medicine to make him WELL" said the
governor. 1T is sometimes quite nee

eSSdlN.
The governor declared that the
fight promoters in the state might just
as we'll realize that his order had
been given advisedly and that he IN
tended to enforce it.
In addition to his statement this
morning, he reiterated the following
which was his original statement and
which he still upholds:
The reused and shocked moral
sense Of our people will never toler
ate or permit such another mistake
to be made by the misled action of
any locality. Those who stand ever
ready to take advantage Of bad eX-
ample and attempt to make a rule Of
an exception will DO we'll to prove
the contrary of this statement found
in the Chicago Record-Herald of
June 16, 1912:
with these four bouts being plan
ned now and many more in the maxi
ing, Las Vegas sure is in right as far
as the boxing game is concerned. The
law makers of New Mexico are help
ing the cause of pugilism as much as
possible and are paving the way for
future entertainments by passing
measures boosting the game. The
legislators are making of New MeXi-
co mecca for boxers and the men
Of the profession are beginning to un-
derstand this fact
The time is not long between now
and the next session of the legisla-
ture. Then if prize fights are consid-
cred desirable two-thirds of that body
can pass bill that may make such
eXpositions possible after that time.

AT THE HypoDRoME.

Europe is well represented this
week at the Hippodrome, as two o.
the acts are European. "Erol,' billed
as the worlds greatest protean artist
opens the show. He plays u drama
all him himself and makes change
of wardrobe for each part.
"Erol" is refined actor and plays
each character as il 1t was MS line
He carries his own scenery for the
act and requires the use OF his three
assistants besides the regular stage
crew of the Hippodrome TO work
the act.
James A. Dunn, billed as a come
dian and mimic, surely lives up to the
programing. He tells some good stories
and his limitations are very clever.
He initiates chickens dogs, hogs
steamboats, and finally initiates a
baby, which is most realistic.
Weldna and serano, presenting a
Juggling and hand balancing act, have
an act that should entitle them to Il
good place on any vaudeville bill,
Their act is clever, neat, and finish
cd. not false step or move being
noticed. They occupy the closing po'
sition and are without a doubt en-
titled TO the place.

I, SANE LIVING.
(Washlne ION TOsI.1

D.. . To- v
Undoubtedly one Of the chief causes
OF the high cost OF living is to be
found in the fact that the average
ANGLICAN consumes every day much
larger quantity Of food than his body
requires. We are the greatest meat
eaters IN the world. The table, which
a few years ago saw a roast or steak
or stew upon the board once day,
now groans beneath its burdens Of
pork and beef and mutton twice daily,
or even threetimes. The Les Of lamb,
which formerly was sufficient for din.
ner two days, now, serves for but one
meal. We eat a greater variety of food
than we need, too. and the average
American in moderate circumstances
who cannot have it addition to his
roast two or three vegetables, a salad
and a dessert thinks he is being de
prived OF the necessaries of life.
DR.. Wiley believes, that as nation,
we eat too much, and is not ashamed
to give his own case rs a typical ex-
ample. With that lust for scientific
analysis, which ever possesses him,
he has ascertained that he consumes
daily 1920 calories Of food. whereas
he could easily get along on 1000, and
be the better for it physically and f.
nancially. That he INDUCES thus in
overlooking simply proves that he is
a typical American,

Chewing tobacco is not to per-
sons discredit, mdI have come to this
conclusion long ago. said Judge Ian
dis in court the other day, sulting ac.
ton to word out OF his own private
supply. The occasion of the judges
obiter dictum was the plea for young
man charged with robing the mails
that did not use tobacco in any form"
Perhaps that 'queered" him with the
court. But at ali events the immoral
ty of tobacco chewing is by no means
so arguable a proposition speaking
with the pr0foundest respect for the
court as its uncleanliness.
The late Justice Harlan was a Glib
raltar of integrity, yet during the trial
OF the Tobacco Trust case it was told
how he asked trust witness with the
aspcrity of personal grievance, Can
you explain how 1t is that plug tobac-
co is not as good as it used TO be-"
