The governor in his proclamation
calling an election for next November,
calls tor the election OF three pres
idential electors. The law provides
that each state shall have a presiden-
tial elector for eacn senator and each
member OF congress the state is enti-
tied TO. New Mexico, under the pres
ent conditions has TWO senator's and
two members OF congress. Under the
law In the next congress 1t will have
two senators and one member OF con-
gress. AS the presidential electors
will go u Of office before the next
congress takes It's seat, It looks to a
man up a tree as though New Mex
leo should have delegates equal in
number TO It's present representation
In congress, and we should elect four
electors Instead Of three.

with much less trouble than was ex.

lean army was going to quit and join

The most serious trouble in the south
west was at Phoenix where two fac
'tions OF the MeXicans. one faction
consisting Of naturalized Americans,
and the other Of Mexicans who were
still citizens Of Mexico, got to quar-
Teling about the celebration. The
quarrel led up TO a fight, when the
police interviewed, and took a couple
TO jail. just as they got to the Jail
door the Mexican drew knives and
stabbed the officers. The chief Of
police got there about this time, and
he was stabbed. He commenced
shooting, and killed an innocent by
stander. The men who did the stab
bing got away. The governor called
out the militia, and quieted things
down.

Colonel Roosevelt, for some I'M
known reason seems to fight shy Of
the southern portion of New Mexico
and Arizona. He has been in the two
states many times since the affair in
Cuba, but never has visited the
southern section, although that por-
ton Of the two states furnished him
with a large portion OF his famous
Rough Riders. II the LIBERAL rem
embers rightly he has never been
south Of Isleta junction in New Mex
leo, nor south of Phoenix in Arizona
until this trip, The Tucson people
managed to toll him down to Tucson
this week. and his next Slope was Al
buquerque. The shortest and quick
est route from Tucson to Albuquerque
is east over the Southern Pacific to
Deming, and then north over the
Santa Fe to Albuquerque. The loyal
followers In Lordsburg we're figuring
on sitting up Tuesday night, to see
the car bearing him pass through
town, but they were disappointed.
He took the hack track from Tucson,
TO Marlcopa on the Sou hern Pacific,
and then north to the Santa Fe. then
east TO Albuquerque, travelling much
farther than was necessary to get
there, but by travelling this extra
distance he avoided the southern por-
lion of New Mexico and Arizona.
Why does the colonel go to such ex-
ira trouble TO keep away from this
section?

The republican convention held at
Albuquerque last week was one Of the
best attended and most enthusiastic
that has been held In years. Senator
Catron was the temporary chairman,
and made a good republican speech,
devotiDg much OF his time to extol-
ling the cornerstone Of republicanism,
the protective tariff, showing what
happened in New Mexico when the
Cleveland administration took the
tariff of wool, and what would hap
pen II the democrats should carry the
country, and enact a tariff for revenue
law. The usual committees were APP
pointed and recess taken to allow
them to prepare their reports. There
we're no contests, so the report Of the
committee On credentials was a for
NAL affair. The report Of the plat
form committee was = reiteration Of
republican principles. The committee
on permanent organization reported
Senator Fall for permanent chairman.
Tie Senator In his speech was not as
stand pat as Senator Catron, and
lauded some Of the principles OF the
progressive party. The only name
presented for congressman was that
OF Nathan Jaffa, formerly secretary of
the territory, and one Of the most
popular men in the party, and he was
nominated by reclamation. The names
OF Matt Fowler, OF Grant county, e
f. Gallegos, Of Union county, Levi
Hughes, Of Santa Fe county, John G.
Clancy, OF Guadalupe county, and ].
/. Aragon, of Socorro county, we're
presented for presidential electors. A
ballot vas taken and Messers Fow-
Ter, Hughes, and Gallegos were chos-
en-. Charles S Speiss, of Las Vegas,
was selected as member Of The ma
tional committee in the place of the
late Solomon Luna. A new central
committee was chosen, the Grant
county members are f. r. Coon and

elected Herbert r. Clark, Of Las

have got a hot fight in front of them,
with very good chances OF winning.
