Saratoga, N. T., Sept. 25.-An at
tack on Theodore Roosevelt and the
policies Of the progressive party IN
nation and state marked the address
Of William D. Guthrie, temporary
chairman, today before the republi-
can state convention
"We see clearly said Mr. Guthrie,
that the progressive campaign is
doomed to pitiable defeat and that
only a malevolent desire to work IN

ues its campaigning.
in telling why the republican ma
tional convention fulfilled its duty in
refusing the nominate Colonel Roose-

Of an ex-president Of the United
states for third term would have
been in violation Of an unWrltteh fuie
established by Washington, Jeffer-
son. Madison and Monroe, and fol
lowed ever since. The common
sense Of thoughtful and patriotic
men must convince them that moth

permit any person, however popular
Or eloquent. to WELD the power Of

two terms Colonel Roosevelt, he
declared. had fomented more than
any man living the discomfort and
class hatred existing among the peo'

DAM SPRINGS a LEAK.

Hagerman. N. M, Sept. 25--On Fri
day evening water was found run
ming under the Acme dam in the
Felix river just north of Hagerman.
Before the flood gates could be raised
a large hole had been washed in the
dam. There was no rise in the river
but it seems that the water had been
washing under for some time and had
just been discovered This dam
holds the water to irfigate about
four thousand acres Of fine land east
and south Of town, and it will work a
hardship on the farmers who depend
on this ditch for their water supply
Men have started to work on the dam
and they hope to have it repal;e1 in
time to irrigate their alfalfa again
this year.

Mexico City, Mex, Sept. 25.-A

to offer amnesty to the followers Of
Pascual Orozco. the rebel leader.
Stringent measures such as the
governments suspension of constitu-

numerous rebels failed to have the
deterrent effect expected by the gov

which two months ago was confined
principally to the state Of Chihua-
hua, has spread to Sonora, Coahuila,
and other states.
Only yesterday President Madero
asked congress for an appropriation
of twenty million pesos, or loan au-
thorization. admitting there was less
than thirty million pesos in the ma

Los Angeles, Sept 25.-General
Luis Terrazas. Sr., formerly governor
of the Mexican state Of Chihuahua
and regarded as one Of the most in
fluential and wealthy citizens Of
Mexico, now living on American soil,
issued a statement today denying
that he had in any way encouraged a
revolution, either that of Madero or
that Of Orozco. or any other, in his
native land. as be stated he had been
accused in press dispatches from Ell
Paso, Texas, Of having done.
The denial was given to the public
through the senatorial committee
now holding an investigation here as
to the alleged relation Of American
capital to the Mexican disturbances.
The statement was dated at Long

curbed or checked his own will; his
determination to rule or ruin the
party; and all were beginning to per
ceive that his enthusiasm was rath-
er for the arena and for power than
for principles.
Mr.. Guthrie defined the great Isl
sues of the national campaign as fol-
lows First-The constitutional right
and power of congress to protect
American industries to preserve our
present industrial system; second
the threatened overthrow of the rep
resentative system Of government in
state and nation by the introduction
Of the initiative, referendum and re-
call, and, third-the assault upon the
administration of justice in the
American courts"
Almost the only reference Mr..
Guthrie made to the democratic party
candidate was in his discussion Of
the tariff
"As pointed out by republican in
congress- he said, although we may
not be willing to face free competi-
tion with Europeans, we cannot be
blind to the menace and danger Of
free competition with Asiatics. Just

stantiy cheapening freight and pas

MAKES SERUM TESTS
Man with Lockjsw Takes Treat
ment to Determine Worth of
Anti-tetanic Fluid.

London, May 3.-The actual worth Of
anti-tetanic serum as a cure for lock-
jaw in man is being put to a severe test
on a patient in st. Bartholomew's Hos
pital, London
A fortnight ago the patient, London
foundry hand, fell on a tramway car
and sustained a slight abrasion Of the
thumb. The wound healed, but about
ten days later he began TO experience
pains about the neck and stiffness Of the
Jaws. When admitted to the hospital
he had great difaculty in swallowing and
the muscles of the body and limbs were
constantly being thrown into spasms
typical Of the disease
On Saturday, abouS an ounce Of anti
tetanic serum was injected under the
skin, with apparently little effect. On
Monday the tip Of q carefully sterilized
hollow needle was inserted into the spinal
canal through the soft tissues separat-
ing the vertebrae and about two tea
spoonfuls Of the serum injected.
On the following day a slight remis-
sion Of the symptoms was noted, but
IT was thought best to remove q por-
tion Of the soft tissues Of the thumb at
the place Of the original wound. At the
same time a second and larger dose Of
the serum was injected into the patients
spinal canal.
I'VE have made this final EFFORT TO get
the better of the disease by use Of the
serum so as to save, II possible, the
