CHICAGO, Ill, June 22-With the
raft leaders claiming that before the
dav is over President Taft will be re
nominated. the Roosevelt leaders to-
day decided upon a plan of "non-
participation in the nominations.
Thev announced that Colonel Roose- |
velt's name would not be put in noml- |
nation before the convention, on tho
ground that delegates are voting VINO
should be unseated The Roosevelt
delegates also said they would not
vote for any nominee for President
in the convention II the contested
delegates are not unseated. This is
the Roosevelt plan for a bolt Win

When he prayed that the country
should be spared from "restlessness
and disturbance" however, there was
a litter from the New York delegation
and as he concluded. someone in the
Pennsylvania delegation Whitfield "Toot
loot" and laugh went MP.
The credentials committee immedi-
ately reported in favor of seating the
Taft delegates at large from Missouri
There was a minority report. but the
majority declared was adopted by a
viva voce vote. The Taft delegates
we're placed on the permanent roll by
q viva voce vote in the second, fifth
sixth. seventh Mississippi districts.
There was so much disorder wher
the votes were taken that Root could

question of moral Justice he said,
"and there is no question that the ma
iority of the delegates from Washing
ton were instructed for Roosevelt.
"The acceptance of the majority re-
port will mean. so far as this conven-
ton is concerned, defeat by Roose-
welt. The Republican party can stand
defeat with honor, but never with dis
honor" he said i'm conclusion.
Delegate Dovell, of Washington.
took issue with Halbert He had
hardly started to talk when former
Governor Fort challenged his right to
speak as his seat was one OF those
under consideration. Root held that
he had no right TO vote but had the
right to present his case and reply TO
the charges of the minority.
Dovell repeated his arguments or
last Tuesday when he explained the
Washington case and characterized
the Roosevelt convention as bolt

There was a demand for a record
roll and by viva voce vote the Tart
delegates from Washington were
seated
This was the greatest surprise Of
the session but It developed that the
progressives had decided that they

on the fourth California last night

CHICAGO, Ill. June 22.-This
morning a big sign was hung in the
Roosevelt headquarters in the Con
Eress Hotel, announcing Roosevelt as
the candidate Of the National Pro
nressive Party"
Two features Of the Roosevelt pro-
gram for nominating day we're. first
that no Roosevelt progressive viii be
a candidate or accept a nomination for
vice President on the Taft ticket and
eecond that no Roosevelt progressive
will vote or take part in the conven-
tion. BY this latter action, every
Roosevelt progressive was expected
to make it clear that he did so be
cause of his belief that the convention
as organized did not represent the
real majority of delegates as chosen
by the people.
The final mysterious number In the
Roosevelt program was 'he ready tC

Santa Fe to Pay
Taxes this Year

The A. T. & S. F. R. R. Com
pany has rendered for assess
ment the entire trackage of said
company in Curry county at a
total valuation ofS516, 10000 and
also the $4,000 acres of land
lying north of Clovis at S121, 600. =
100 together with number of
lots at $9OO0.OO making a grand
total of $646.OOO.OO. This means
that about $25, will be paid
into the Curry county tax fund
this year, which will no doubt
lower the tax rate to an appre-
ciable extent.
And yet there is a constant
howl against the Railroad com
panies and big corporations. The
checking Of the big corporations
in thickly settled communities
and Of limited possibilities may
be alright but in this broad land
of ours with the endless oppor-
tunities of development, capital
is an indispensable asset to our
growth and prosperity.

City to do Electrical Wiring

City to do Electrical Wiring
AT the meeting of the City
council, Monday night, it was
finally decided that the City Of
Clovis should take over the mat
ter of electrical wiring for the
public A fist class electrician
is to be employed and the wiring
is to be done for the actual cost
Of material and labor expended.
This action was taken after CON
siderable agitation and the
claim on the part of a number
Of property ownerswho thought
the local prices for this work
we're prohibitive, and that they
would have their properties
wired if they could get it done
at what they contend is a reas-
OHaDle price,
There are.more than 200 houses
on the lines of the city's cur
rent, which are not wired. Fur
thermore the city plant can car
ry twice the load it is now carry
ing without any additional ex-
pense to speak of, and the City
is anxious to get these addition
al houses connected so as to get
an additional revenue from it's
plant. The city will not handle
electrical fixtures but will fur
nish its electrician to any per-
son desiring his services, at the
actual cost per hour of his sala-
ry. This is a decided departure
from the regular order of things
but we are inclined to believe it
lis the proper step. Any way
we will see what we will see.

year by the News for $500
whereas a neighboring county
paid over $4,000 for publishing
its delinquent tax list.
