FFDERALS MOVING TO
ATTACK REBEL AItMN.

At the Federal Front. Yermo. Mex
leo, May 14.-T y. m.)-This town OF
adobe, only five days ago General
Orozco's headquarters was today
reached by General Huerta, and his
advancing federals. The government
troops moved fourteen miles north to-
day, making the journey from Conejos
in long string of troop trains without
mishap.

with Mapimi and IL still is held by
the government.
we have had to repair many miles

Ex-President Carries Golden
State by Clear Majority Over
Both Taft and LaFoI|ette in
Preferential Primaries.
SPEAKER HAS LONG
LEAD OVER WILSON
San Francisco County, Con-
trary to All Expectations,
Gives Large Plurality for
Rough Rider Candidate.

IBy Morning journal Special Leased Wire.1
San Francisco, May 15.-T'he strus-
gle between Roosevelt, Taft and La
Toilette for the twenty-eigth dele
gates from California to the Chicago
convention, was one Of the most spec
tacular fights waged during the pre-
convention campaign, second only 10
that now being carried on in Ohio.
The principal republican newspa-
pers of the golden state favored the
nomination OF President Taft and
strong appeals We're made in his be-
half because of the favors shown to
San Francisco in securing the Pan
anna Pacific exposition.
The fact that the women of the
state would take Part in the primaries
lent hope to the followers of the pres
ident. 1t was thought that his appeals
for square deal might be more effec~
tive with them than with the men.
Also it was thought that the long
and vigorous campaign made by SEN
ator LaFollette would so split the OPP
position to the president that he
might overcome the recognized popu-
larity of Colonel Roosevelt. But the
returns show that the ex-president
has about as many votes as both or
his opponents combined and that his
lead over the president will be not
less than $1,000.
The democratic contest was less
spectacular. While Governor Woodrow
Wilson visited the state some weeks
aeo and made number of speeches,
the tide against him was seen to be
setting strong from the time former
Senator Richard f. Pettigrew, OF
sas.tla Dakota, went .'srongA'Fthe state
and put up the Champ Clark organi-
cation. From the returns at O'Clock
"Wednesday morning 1t was indicated
that Clark had won over Wilson about
two to one.
Approximately two-thirds of Cali
fornia. 2169 precincts out of $500
gives Roosevelt 9S,109; Taft, 51,703;
LaFollette, BLDG; Clark, 26,364; VIII
son, 1897.
Roosevelt's plurality on the face of
the returns is 46,406. His indicated
plurality is between 60,00 and 65,-
900.

CONVENTION DECLINES TO
ELECT NEW CHAIRMAN N

The committee on permanent or
ganization and order of business was
next to report and here the first fight
developed. The permanent Officers
of the convention were agreed upon,
but when it came to Sections and s,
in the order of business report
trouble started. The two sections in
question provided for the election OF
a chairman and secretary of the state
central committee, and the selection
of a new state central committee. A
minority report was presented, pro-
testing against this order of business,
and suggesting that these two sec
tions be stricken out.
This precipitated a heated debate,
lead by Ii. ID. Terrell, of Curry coun-
ty, for reorganization, and Senator
Isaac Bartn, of Bernalillo county, who
favored letting the old committee hold
over. Judge Terrell contended rhaI
there was big fight on this fall;
that the baJtle would be nalf over
by the time state convention was
held again and that it would be bet
ter to reorganize now and thus pre-
pare for the war that was about to be
declared against the common enemy
Senator Barth insisted that the
pIeS1lt organization was the best
that the democratic party ever had,
ana said that he was a member OF H.
He insisted that this scheme To re
organize was simply a ruse to depose
a. II. ,Iudspeth and put in charge
men who were unfrienuly TO the gov
ernor. He openly charged that 1t was
to further the political amDitions Oh
those behind the movement ana in an
extended speech, In whicn he laudeu
the governor, and wanted to know II
the conN ention was going 10 be "A

Bernalillo county, IL carried with
scarcely a dissenting voice.
DR.. Kohlhausen. Of Colfax county,
explained the position of those VINO

that there was no more loyal sup
porter of Governor Mcdonald than
himself, nor was there any man VINO
had worked harder TO elect him. He
insisted that he thought the present
the best time To reorganize ana sald
that Senator Barth was begging the
question, when he intimated that

elected.

UTAH DEMOCRATS SEND
UNRESTRICTED DELEGATES

Salt Lake City, May 1.-THE only
restriction imposed upon the sixteen
delegates each with half a vote, who
will represent the democracy of Utah
at the national convention in Balti-
more, is that they shall support "a
progressive candidate on progressive
platform"
An effort in the resolution commit
tee to commit the delegates to the
presidential candidacy of Woodrow
Wilson, commanded but two votes
The big fight in the democratic
state convention here today was on
the election of a national committee
man to succeed Frank X. Nebeker.
The position went to William X. Wal
lace of salt Lake after three ballots
in which Samuel A. King was his lead
ing opponent.
The platform recommended by the
committee on resolutions advocated
n progressive income tax, direct legis-
lation and other progressive measures
and was adopted without discussion
by the convention.

IsnecinI Dispatch 20 the Morning Journai.l
Clovis, ~ M, May l4.-Aside from
the selection of eight delegates ana
eight alternates to the democratic
convention at Baltimore, instructed
to vote for Champ Clark's nomination
for president, the democratic state
convention at Clovis witnessed an
other one-round bout today bv the
Bernalillo county delegation. THIS
time the participants were Summers
Burkhart and r. l.. Wootton. But one
blow was struck, Mr.. Wootton striking
MIR. Burkhart over the left eye, when
the two were separated. Later the
breach was healed in public by an
apology from Mr.. Woottoon, whlcn
was directed to the convention, anu
a personal apology TO Mr.. Burkhart.
which he accepted and then moved
that the convention accept Mr.. Wot-
tons apology. Then the two men
shook hands.
As near as can be learned, Mr..
Wootton took exception to remarks
make by Mr.. Burkhart and. instead OF
replying in kind, he struck Mr.. Burk-
hart. The affair happened just at the
time the convention was being calleu
to order by ]. II. Paxton, OF Doha
Ana county. Senator Barth immedl-
ately claimed the floor and in Vio-
lent speech. insisted that the BtIHa-
lilo delegation repudiate Mr.. Woot-
ton and wanted him elected from the
convention. At first his motion met
with considerable support, bat before
1t was put to a vote, and after an eN-
PLANTATION by e. s. Parker, together
with comments that the Bernalillo
delegation should wash its own dirty
linen. the matter was allowed TO rest,
undecided for a time. just before tne
noon recess, Mr.. Wootton made ms
apology in open convention, when
was accepted and no more was heatd
Of the matter during the remainder OF
the session
A brief session of the state centfai
committee was held this morning at
which j. II. Paxton. of Dona Ana
county, was recommended for tempor-
ary chairman; A. c. Torres, of Socorro
county, as temporary secretary ahc
Antonio Pacheco, of Socorro county,
and Eugenio Romero of Mora couh-
ty. were recommended as temporary
interpreters. For permanent officers'
g. A. Richardson. OF Chaves county
and John l.. Zimmerman, of san MI
guel county, were named as Chairman
and secretary. respectively. A. {.
Torres. of Socorro county, and Luciano
Mondragon. of Sandoval county, we're
named as permanent interpreters.
These suggestions were adopted py
the convention.

occasioned by the noisy advance q.
Uuerta's artillery on Sunday the repei
army is getting into shape TO move
against the enemy once more.
Engineers and workmen were sent
south today to begin the reconstruc-
ton of bridges destroyed between
Conejos and Zavalza, and prevent the
federals from following. To finish TINS
work several days will be required ana
until It is done. little activity on the
part of the main body of troops is an
ticipated.
Rebel officers believe no important
thanking movement VIII be attempted
bv the federals this opinion being
based upon the assumption that Huef-
ia will not risk the transportation OF
heavy guns overland along bad trails
and because II probably would be
necessary for him to use "A large part
of his infantry in such venture, ow-
ing to the comparative scarcity or
mounted men. Aside from the bao
effect inevitably produced by a re-
treat, Oro5co's army has lost it'ie'
rather as whole 1t has gained an
advantage. The occupation of Mapimi
bv the rebels, which Is claimed by
| them to have taken place sunday, has
removed from the federals point OF
much strategic Importance, while the
| federals by holding the RAILROAD south
of Conejos are in worse condition
since it compels Huerta to weaken his
defense at Bermejilio and Torreon ana
leave his heavy column In the open
field constantly exposed to small panus
of rebels. .,...-

1t was reported at headquarters
early this morning that the town OF
Las Cuevas, a station on the Central,
about half way between Parral ana
Rosario had been occupied by band
of bandits masqueradipg as govern
ment troops and detachment OF fifty
men was sent from here to cooperate
with the Parral garrison to dislodge
them and restore order in that dls-
triet.
Two thousand men of the govern
ments' army at Dinamita, between
| Mapimi and Torreon, are reported 10
have Joined the rebel forces. Colonel
Galaviz, commander of the former
government regulars, Is said to have
placed himself and his men at the
orders of Colonel Canales, who Is re-
ported to have taken Mapimi. Offi-
| cial confirmation of the occupation or
MaDimi is vet lacking.
