fixed for May Is.
The representation 10 the
state convention was fixed at
one delegate for each one hun
dred votes cast for governor at
the November, 1911, election,
or major fraction thereof. This
will make the representation
in the state convention a large
one. Eight delegates and eight
aIternates will be elected to
make the trip to Baltimore.
A poll of the committeeman
present yesterday showed the
following preferences for pres
|idential candidates: Wilson s
Clark s, Harmon Z.
1t would perhaps be safe to
say that Wilson just now is
the first choice of the New
Mexico democracy for pres
ident with Champ Clark sec
ond choice. Just what turu
sentiment will take when the
state convention is held is
problematical as between
these two candidates. There
are those who insist that an
uninstlucted delegation will
be sent to Baltimore by the
Democrats.
Mr.. Hudspeth, the new chair
man, is one of the best known
democrats in New Mexico He is
a lawyer and a member of the
constitutional convention, being
the titular leader Of the minority
in that convention and in the
last legislature. He is rated a
shrewd politician and an
indefatigable worker. -.-Albu-

DEMOCRATS GO
TO CLOVIS

! A. Il. Hudspeth, of White
Oaks, Lincoln county, was
elected chairman, Clovis selec-
ted as the place for holding
the state convention and May
IA fixed as the date for the
gathering by the democratic
state central committee at its
meeting IN Albuquerque yes
terday. The date for the con
vention was first fixed for
June 10, but later the commit
tee reconsidered its action and
changed the convention date
to May IA. Mr. .Hudspeth was
not present at the meeting
but was notified of his election
by wire and accepted the hon
or. He will issue the Official
call for the convention i'm
mediately.
When the committee met
yesterday morning there were
twenty five members present
and twenty-four prominent
democrats, the latter holding
proxies of members of the
committee.
Contrary to expectations but
two names were placed before
the committee for state chair
man, succeeding Hon. A. A.
Jones, of Las Vegas, whose res
ignation was accepted and a
vote of thanks extended him
by the committee for his
splendid service to the party.
Mr.. Jones had served as chair
man since October, 1911, being
chosen primarily to manage
the successful democratic cam
paign of last fall resulting in
the election of Governor W.
q. Mcdonald and other demo
cratic candidates for state
Office and one member of con
gress. He sill continues as
national committeeman. The
names presented were those of
A. II. tHudspeth of Lincoln
county and that of Judge N.
B. Laughlin of Santa Fe coun
ty. However, Judge Laughlin
asked that his name be with
drawn, and this resulted in
the election of Mr.. Hudspeth
by acclamation.
When the committee took
up the selection of a city as
the place for holding the state
convention which will choose
delegates to represent the dem
ccratic party of New Mexico
at the National convention at
Baltimore June 25, Clovis and
Belen were the only bidders
When the vote was taken
Clovis was found to have won
the convention by almost a
dozen votes. Its selection was
then made unanimous, the
Belen contingent showing
themselves to be good losers

NEW HOMESTEAD
RULING

H~--S~-~
Santa Fe, N. NJ, Feb. H.
The recent ruling of the general
land Office in Washington regard
ing the necessity of five years
actual residence on the home
stead in order TO prove up, does
away with the six months con
structive residence which has
heretofore been accepted where
the claimant went upon the land
in good faith and established
residence on the land within six
months after the date of his
entry.
The rule now is to date the
residence from the date of actual
bona fide residence, and not
date of entry as heretofore, and
the claimant and witness
must show actual residence on
the land as a home for five years.
exclusive of absence on a leave
of absence.
In the case of Communication
proof, the old rule to permit the
claimant to count the first six
months of the life of the entry
as actual residence where he
went upon the land within the
the six months and established
actual residence. is also chang
ed and the claimant making com
muted proof now must show an
actual bona fide residence, of
fourteen months continuous pre-
sence on the land.
The question is often raised
whether residence on a home
stead counts where the claimant
goes upon a tract that he is con-
testing. and establishes residence
before being allowed to enter the
land. The general land office
has ruled that actual residence
On a tract of land does not count
unless the land is subject to en-
try by claimant who is residing
thereon, or actually entered by
him. The mere fact that con-
test has been instituted does not
give the claimant the right to
count bis residence on the land
until the contest entry is cancel
led and his own entry allowed.
In the case of a claimant max
ing desert land entry for 320
acres of land on which he resides
the necessary fourteen months
and then relinquishing the tract
on which he has resided with the
object of making homestead en-
try and offering commuted proof
it has been held by the local land
office that the residence ON the
land while held as desert land
entry does not operate to per-
feet title under the homestead
laws where the land lis subse-
ouently entered as a homestead
