REPUBLICAN RUCT|0N
OLD GUARD RULE
WITHOUT GEEZERS
THE SANTA fE COUNTY CONVENTION CANNOT MEET WITHOUT GETTING
DIRECTION FROM THE OLD Time BOSSES Who HAVE so LONG DTA
TED EVERY MOVEMENT
SENATOR CATRON ABSENT
DELEGATES FEAR TO RESOLVE

He was willing to come back and as an
evidence of kindly feeling on the part
Of those who had remained loyal to
the party, to show that there was no
rancour in their hearts, the name was
put on the delegate list
Enter protest number two. There
were delegates present who could not
see the justice Of the reward system.
They thought loyalty deserved some
recognition when it came to handing
out the no pay honors at least. They
felt that the probation scheme should
be used and that those who had re-
NAMED true should be first considered.
The debate waXed warm and the dele
gates We're bewildered.
Should they offend the novlate or
override the wishes of loyal stand
patters. The final decision was to put
the old timers aside, and they took
their medicine, because they had to.
After the convention adjourned, there
was expressed cordial sympathy
with those who had at least made a
fight for fair play. Many of the dele
gates expressed themselves as in con-
cert with more liberal system, where
the every day worker in the ranks was
at least permitted to express himself
in regard to the party's policy.
There were some very raw spots left
on the feelings of the members of the
convention and old time republicans
as well, and the supply of harmony oil
to assuage the soreness seems to be
about exhausted. There is total lack
OF that enthusiasm which was wont to
pervade the ranks of the G. O. P.
There is dissatisfaction and unrest
that finds open expression and there
are members of Saturdays convention
who are seriously considering a with
trawal from the party which is ruled
by diCtation of those higher up, leav-
ing a choice of the rank and file but
to follow meekly and take the knocks
given by the leaders, without pro-
test or even objection.
The republican party of Santa Fe
county is finding the present political
a hard road to travel.

SENATOR CATRON
is BACK FROM
WASHINGTON

Thomas B. Catron, formerly known
as "Nestor of the New Mexico Bar,
and now United States Senator from
New Mexico, is back in Santa Fe.
The senator arrived last night,
coming by way of Kansas City where
he was interviewed on the Mexico sit
uation, subject of great interest at
this time. Despite the long journey
Mr.. Catron arose early this morning
and went to his offices in the Catron
block. The news of his return to the
city quickly spread ard soon members
oil the old guard gathered around the
senator and had long talk.
The nature of the conference was
not explained further than the state
ment: "Mr. Catron is busy which

BERNALILLO COUNTY ADMITTEDLY FOR

you don't think it is Wilson you don
belong in Albuquerque today. Wilson
is all you hear, unless you talk tt
Congressman George Curry, who CAM
see anything to it but Roosevelt, Of
w. H. Andrews who says sentiment
for Taft is growing back east anc
that if it keeps the pace up it is sure
to land Mr.. Taft in the White House
One thing that you do hear this is
unmistakable, is that Theodore Roose
velt will carry the big county of Ber
nalillo by 1900 majority. There isn't
any question as to that.
The democratic convention did not
get under way here until nearly j
O'Clock owing to acrimonious fights
before the state central committee,
behind closed doors over a contested
delegation from Colfax county and
one from Chaves county. The demo-
cratic bosses sat on the lid and talked
harmony, harmony, harmony. AL
though the feelings of the delegates
were badly frazzled, the fight resulted
in decision to seat both delegations
in each county with half vote, and
to let them go home and fight out
their local rows in open primaries
supervised by the state committee.
1t is likely that the effort to maintain
harmony will not succeed and that
a fight will be precipitated on the
floor of the convention.
This is one of the most enthusias.
tic democratic conventions since the
days of Cleveland. 1t is not so
large as some democratic conventions
OF recent years, but it is one of the
most hopeful ever assembled in the
state. which is going some.
Hon. Harvey B. FERGUSON is GER
tain to receive the nomination for
no other name is heard, and
in this connection it is the boast of
every delegate that he is going to
be elected. A. A. Jones, democratic
national committeeman delivered the
keynote speech. AS keynoter it
should be remarked right here, Mr..
Jones is in class by himself and sec.
ond only to Congressman Harvey B.
FERGUSON. What Mr.. Jones did to
he grand old republican party was
enough to make Mr.. Taft's hair stand

OF victory which will sweep the ma.

cans, the tariff and other bulwarks of
the old days. In fact, Mr.. Jones made
the tariff his chief issue with review
OF conditions in New Mexico. He
pointed to tn epanic of 1893 which the
republicans charged was due to Cleve-
lands low tariff ideas and then he
pointed to the panic of 1898 which the
charged was due to high tariff. He

a HIGH TITLE
OlD NOT SAVE
THIS BANDIT

Mexico City, Mex, Sept. 9.-Antonio
Serna, and the three of his lieuten
ants who had aided him in forming a
plan to open the capital to the Zapa
tistas on the night of September 15
were executed today by a squad OF
soldiers.
Serna, who had given himself the
title of general, conceived the plot and
since the arrest of himself and a
score Of his followers, in the suburb
Of the city few days ago. they have
confessed that they expected to en-
gage in a season of loot on the ma
tional holiday next Sunday. They also
confessed to having raided and rob-
bed number of villages In the fed
eral district. Yesterday the prison
ers were sent to Chalco, and placed
at the disposal of the military com
mander. The commander heard the
evidence and passed and executed
sentence, all within "a hours.
That trouble is still feared on the
night of the fifteen is indicated, how
ever, by the fact the bankers of the
capitol have agreed to name one-third
OF their employees to act as guard at
night arming them with rifles from
the government arsenals. 1t is also
learned that the big jewelry houses
are placing all the valuable jewelry
in stock in the banks for safe keep
ing.

GENERAL "OE LA o.
is DRIVEN BACK

| Mexico City, Sept. 9.-Emiliano Ia
patas boasted advance on the capital
has not yet materialized. The band
of rebels were sighted between Ajus-
co and Parres, about 40 miles south
of the capital, and undoubtedly there
are a number of other bands riding
about in the neighborhood of Yuate-
pee, east Cuernavaca. However, Gen
eral Overbo de la o, is yet campaign
ing in the state of Mexico, near TOlu-
ca, the state capital, Colonel Batise
has just succeeded in driving back a
big force commanded by de la o, from
Tolecala, to Malinalco, and to Miacat-
lam He estimated that 40 rebels were
killed
General De la o, is reported to be
moving toward Tres Marias, 90 miles
south of Toluca, where other rebels
are known to be.
Military officials, however, think
that Zapata may not intend to concen-
trate his interference, but to send his
army forward in several columns.

WORLDS AVIATION
RACE is BEGUN
AT CHICAGO

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 9.-Jules We
drines; driving a Deperdussin mono
plane, was the first contestant to star
today in the worlds aviation cham
pionship race for the James Gordon
Bennett 10000 franc trophy
/ Although there was considerable
wind, Vedrines refused to delay his
start. He soon reached a speed of 10t
miles an hour. He finished the course
Of 124.S miles in 10 minutes, $685. sec
Onds.
! Vedrines' average speed was about
1858 miles an hOur-almost equaling
his previous record Vedrines COM
pleted his aerial voyage before noon,
spinning thirty times over the Ala.
mile course as smooth as a swallow
veers around church spire.
Hopes that America still may have
a chance of retaining for another year
the James Gordon Bennett trophy,
which was won by Charles T. Wey-
mann at the Isle of Sheppy, England,
last year and which is the symbol of
world supremacy, are centered in Del
lloyd Thompson. Thompson, this after
noon, will attempt a flight in Nieu-
port monopane. 1t is generally be-
lieved, however, his machine will be
unable to exceed 70 miles. Uncertain
ty existed whether any of the other
American contestants would be able to
start.
The time taking by laps of Vedrines'
run showed he kept up fairly even
speed. In the first lap, he made the
four miles in 2 minutes and 245S sec
onds.
81 have won the trophy" exclaimed
Vedrines, when he returned to the
hanger THAT is practically certain.
There is no other machine on the field
that can approach my time. 1t means
much to France. Three times before
France, which has taken such a prom.
nent part in aviation, has seen the tro-
ply captured by either America or
England. Now think we have it,
AMERICA HAS NO CHANCE.
Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. 9.--Major Sam.
iel Reber, of New York, chairman OF
the contest committee of the Aero
club, of America, this afternoon con-
,eded the trophy to France. I'VE have
not a ghost of a show" he said. The
)nly question is which one of the
Frenchmen will carry off the honors.
None of our machines could come
within forty minutes of the Vedrnes'
ime.'

The Republican county convention
which met on Saturday, to select del

Things went on well until the time
arrived for the introduction Of a set
Of resolutions. But Senator Ca'ro1
was not there. Who ever heard of .
set of resolutions without the Catron
O. X.
Some of the old guard at once sug-
gested that it would be necessary to
get along without any resolutions mas
much as United States Senator Catron
was not in the convention.
1t was here that the war tocsin
sounded. e. P. Davies arose in his
can always. He has been one Of the
standbys in all past campaigns in re-
cent years, and has been one of the
most efficient campaign orators the
party has had. He has been often call
ed upon and has always responded. He
protested in that forcible manner so
well known in the courts of New Mex
leo. He asked if Catron was the re-
publican party of this state; If the
humble members Of the party could
not even have a voice; if they were
too unintelectual and inexperienced
to say what they thought and wished
in their own convention; if one man
had been given carte blanche to write
the resolutions of republican coun-
ty convention, and if given the au-
thority by whom was it given?
Then the convention WEIGHED. The
chairman put the motion for the ap-
pointment of resolutions committee
and it was carried amid great enthu-
siasm."
Things rocked along quietly until the
report of the committee on delegates
to the Albuquerque convention came |
in. On the list was the name of a

objection of the school room and will
not have weight with those who know
what life is.
II believe that Mr.. Wilsno, whose
sincerity of conviction l do not ques-
ton, has been misled by the fact that
he has gotten from laws laid down by
political economists, who wrote when
conditions were utterly different.
