war, and the Roosevelt candidate
for governor Of New York in 1910,
last night declared that, while he
remained the sincere friend" Of
Mr.. Roosevelt, he could not support
him for the presidential nomination.
Mr.. Stimson entered President
Taft's cabinet last year. after CON
sultation with Mr.. Roosevelt and
with the distinct understanding that
he would be bound in no way to
take part in the presidential nom
nation. In speech before the
Taft club OF Illinois last night, he
declared his belief that President
Taft's administration represented the
highest expression of republican pro-
gressive policy

a tart reply.
"We stand for direct presidential

NEVADA
PIONEER CROSSES
THE GREAT Divide

This morning at 1880 O'Clock,
at the county hospital, George Turin,
resident of Nevada for the past
so years, solved the great mystery,
death relieving his body from pain.
The deceased had resided in this
state for a half of a century. He
had for forty years prior to his
ailment of Bright's disease, follow
ed mining and the life of a prospee-
tor, and for the past 80 years had
resided in and about Tybo, and was
general known by his acquaintances
as sold Tybo.' He had reached the
grand old age OF 81 years. The old
pioneer was known for his kindness
Of heart and his charitable acts
during his life upon the desert. The
aged prospector's cabin was home
Of welcome to all who might pass
its door; the latch string was always
on the outside. There are many in
the state today who VIII mourn his
demise and speak kind words of the
old prospector. He died as he lived
alone there was no loving rela-
tive to close his eyes in death and
say prayer as his soul returned
to his Maker. At one time he was
possessed of some wealth, but Il
had gradually dwindled away, and
the old pioneer died penniless To
morrow he win be buried by the
county unless the charitably inclined
say otherwise May the old pioneer
and prospeetor enter the portals oi
heaven, whore all is happiness and
bliss Peace to his clay.

and | am in this fight on precisely
the same basis and for practically
the same reasons.
Let me add. i'm view of the
questions of certain friends, that
neither Mr.. Stimson nor any other
man whom have supported owes
me any gratitude for doing so;
support a man. not to get his
gratitude, but because | believe he
will render good service to the peo-
pie; and | assume nothing from any
man in return except that he rem
der such service to the people, and
/ Judge him accordingly.
"As to the question concerning
Who is forcing me into the arena,
the answer is easy.
Which side is making the de-
mand for open primaries and which
side is sitting this demand wherever
possible, refusing to accede to II
save under eompulsion and trusting
to the use of patronage. to such
methods as those tried in the re-
cent Kansas City congressional con-
vention, and to those very machine
leaders who have turned a complete
somersault as regards the president
during the last four years?
These leaders are managing the
campaign against me; and II they
were deliberately trying to wreck the
Republican party they would follow
precisely the tactics they have been
following tactics which make 1t
seem that they would rather see
the republican party defeated than
see II restored TO what it was under
Abraham Lincoln, and see 1t become
again the genuine party of the peo-
pie, the party that stands for real
popular rule, and for the highest
ideals of social and industrial JUS
tice, to be achieved through popular
rule"

The Introduction of such a con-
test at this time, dragging in, as
II necessarily will, new and personal
issues which are quite foreign to the
great progressive policies for which
the republican party stands, cannot
fail to weaken whichever candidate
is eventually nominated in June. If.
as a result. that candidate is de-
feated in November, the government
may be thrown into the hands of
truly reactionary parties for years
to come.
Mr.. Stimson said that President
Taft had devoted himself unceasing-
| ~ to the carrying out of construct
i've work along progressive lines.
The administration was begun, he
said, upon a plan that had "the
thorough approval and deliberate in

to that plan President Taft had ad-

Republican Convention September 70.

Santa Fe.-Thursday, September
18th, is the date for the Republican
state convention, which will meet in
Albuquerque and nominate a candi-
date for Congress and three presiden-
tial electors. This was decided upon
by the Republican State Central COM
mittee, which met in the Senate cham
Der at the capitol The apportion-.
ment is one delegate to every 100
votes cast for the Republican candi-
Gate for governor last fall, and one
delegate at large from each county,
making total of 3O5, or six delegates
less than the Democratic state conven-
ton, which will meet at Albuquerque
on Monday of the same week.
Thirty-five out of the fifty-three
members of the committee were pres
ent and after deciding on the time
and place for the convention, the meet
ing adjourned.
Talk of Republican candidate for
Congress seems to show Nathan Jaffa,
of Roswell, as the favorite, but no
ore seems to know positively whether
he will make the race if nominated.
1t is said that James w. Chavez, state
representative, from Torrance county,
would accept the nomination, but
many of the Republicans feel that the
would prove a weak candidate were
he opposed by Congressman H. B..
Ferguson. who it is conceded, will be
the Democratic nominee.
This is the first time in the recent
history of the two parties in New
Mexico that the Democratic conven-
tion has preceded the Republican
gathering.
