Santa Fe new Mexican. [volume] (Santa Fe, N.M.) 1898-1951, 1912-07-30

Albuquerque, n. NJ, July 3O-The
first state convention of the new Ma
tional Progressive party has been
he'd in this city and as result
Miguel A. Otero has been selected as
state chairman by the convention S
state committee, with full authority
to select his own executive commit
tee and begin at once the fight for
the principles of the platform adop-
ted by the conventicn.
Now that it is all over, it need
composed of such representative men,
has come like a bolt out of a clear
sky to the old machine men who have
run things in New Mexico with such
a high hand for so many years. To
say that they have had a good scare
is to put it mildly. All day yesterday
they were busy trying to find an
opening into the convention wherein
they could disrupt It or caIse dis
satisfaction. That they failed and
failed absolutely, has startled them.
They could not believe that such a
fighting force could be got together
against them on such short notice.
The convention of yesterday was a
remarkable one in New Mexico L.
was remarkable for the absolute har-
mony, the unanimity of purpose and
the methods whereby it's will was
carried into effect. There were no po-
litical bosses and holsters sinking
about the hall. The soft tread Of the
gumshoe was not present. 1t was a
convention wide open, where every
mans vote was counted, where the
unit rule and the gag tactics of the
old line parties were not known;
where the delegates and not & sec
ret machine hidden in some hotel
room, ran the convention and where
the resolutions We're drawn upon
principles and not for office. The
delegates were without exception, an
earnest, businesslike set of men at.
tending the convention in the inter-
ests of no corporation, no mining COM
pany, no railroad but there because
they had at last realized that they
had absolutely no chance of working
out the much needed reforms through
either of the old parties and that only
brn oh
mon citizens of this long suffering
state secure their rights.
AS stated in last nights dispatches
Col George W. Prichard was the
unanimous choice of the convention
for temporary chairman. G. H. Van
Stone was made temporary secretary
and Col William NJ. Berger editor OF
the Belen Tribune and veteran re
publican, was made assistant secre
tary. These officers conducted the
temporary organization of the conven
ton with absolute fairness and cour
tesy towards all.
This was especially noticeable
when Chairman Prichard, after the
convention had, by ballot, instructed
him to name five members each or
the various committees, asked thai
instead the delegates furnish him the
names which was done. The commit
tees We're:

Street Commissioner Tom Parker a
few days ago completed some exton-
sive repairs to the roadway from Ca
nal street in the west end TO the va

places that dozen or fifteen men

DENVER LETTER

Denver Sept 5.-Governor Shafro,n
is making two weeks tour of Coo
rado replying to the criticisms that
have been directed against him by the
Republican press OF the state IN
many OF his speeches he makes the di-
rect charge that the statements print
ed in the Republican press have besn
untrue. The charges have been that
his is the mcst extravagant admins
tration Colorado ever tnew. That he
assumed charge when the states
finances were in good condidtion and
that at present all the money Is gone
and the state is behind something over
two millions dollars II rs to the last
statement that Governo- Shafroth
takes exception. He maintains that
an appropriation by the legislature
even II approved by the Governor is
not a debt against the state. IL the
state has not the money with which
to pay. Such position was never
assumed by preceding governor.
Just before the last Legislature con-
vened the auditor and treasurer made
an estimate on the amount OF revenue
that would be collected this biennial
period. They placed IL at s2.s26.626.-
65. Instead of keeping within the
amount that legislature appropriated
total Of s4.57s.s45.05.

DEAFNESS CANNOT be CURED

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion OF the ear
There Is only one way to cure doaf-
meas. and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infiamed condition OF the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube Is infiamcd you have rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing. and
when II is entirely closed. Deafness Is
the result, and unless the infiamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to it's normal condition. hsar-
ing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out OF ten are caused by Ca
tarrh, which is nothing but nm infiam-
ed condition OF the mucous surfaces.
