Convention Trying to
Purges Itself of Wall
Street OdOr!''
BY ZACK LAMAR COBB
I'm Ell Paso Herald)

Convention Hall, Baltimore,
Md, June 27. The reaction has
set in; the tide has turned. The
delegates "'have heard from
home. ;" The treachery of Champ
Clark is condemned on every
side. The surrendering of the
convention to temporary Wall
street organization has been q
boomerang. Judged by it's re-
suits, progressive Democracy has
benefited more than it might
have otherwise. It exposed the
design of the tobacco trust led
by Ryan, the insincerity of vel
low journalism, represented by
Hearst and the weakness of the
character of Champ Clark. Ital-
so emphasized the strength OF
character of Woodrow Wilson.
Strong Woodrow Wilson scorn-
ed the offers Of assistance from
Hearst and Ryan, while weak.
colorless Champ Clark swallowed
the whole bait. The result is that
Wilson is rising and Clark is fall
ing.
Bryan The Great Favorite
Bryan is the favorite of the
convention. The treachery of
Champ Clark gave the temporary
organization to Wall street. Now
Wall street doesn't know what
to do with it. Bryan will not be
used by them to deceive the peo-
pie. Bryan will share the re-
sponsibility for Ryan and MUIR
ply. He will stand out as a
great patriot and true Democrat
and by the power of right will
force this convention to purge
itself of Wall street. Grand old
Bryan! He knew how the vote
would be on temporary chairman
in fact he expected to be defeat
ed by a larger majority.
It is this that makes the differ
ence between a boss and aleader.
A boss demands control, right or
wrong. A leader is willing to
take temporary defeat rather
than surrender to wrong. The
result is making Bryan all the
greater as leader.

Games and Contests for the
Fourth

On the Fourth, tomorrow, there
will be horse racing, foot racing,
roping contests, big ball games
and two big dances afternoon
and night.
While no great preparations
have been made for celebration
here on the Fourth yet there will
no doubt, be a large crowd in
town that day. The ball game
will be between the Lordsdurg
team and our home boys.

Wescott's Great Speech
Nominating Wilson

Baltimore, Nd, June 27.-The
speech placing the name of Gov
ernor Woodrow Wilson, of New
Jersey, in nomination for the
presidency was delivered by for
mer Judge John w. Wescott, of
Camden, N. J. Mr.. Wescott
spoke as follows:
New Jersey, once bound, but,
by the moral energy and intel
lectual greatness of a single soul,
now free, comes to this great
convention, in the glory of her
emancipation, to participate in
your deliberations, aid in formu-
lating your judgements and as
sist in executing your DEGREES.
The New Jersey delegation is
not empowered to exercise the
attributes of proprietorship, but
is commissioned to represent the
great cause of Democracy and to
offer you, as it's militant and trl-
umphant leader. a scholar, not a
charlatan; statesman, not a
doctrinaire; profound lawyer,
not a splitter of legal hairs, a po-
lltlcal economist, not an egotisti-
cal theorist; a practical politician,
who constructs, modifies, re-
strains without disturbance and
destruction; a resistless debater
and consummate master of state
ment, not mere phrasemaker;
"a humanitarian, not a defamer of
characters and lives; a man whose
.mlnd .isa orfce cosmopolitan and
composite Of America: a gentle
man Of unpretentious habits,
with the fear of God in his heart
and the love of mankind exhibit
ed in every act of his life; above
all public servant who has been
tried to the uttermost and never
found Wanting-peerless, match
less unc0nquerable.
New Jersey has reasons for her
course. Let us not be deceived in
our premises. Campaigns of Wilt
fication, corruption and false pre-
tense have lost their usefulness.
The evolution of national energy
is towards a more intelligent mo-
rality in politics and in all other
relations. The line of cleavage is
between those who treat politics
as a game and those who regard
it as the serious business of gov
ernment. The realignment of po-
litical parties will be on this prin-
ciple. The ituation admits of no
compromise. The temper and
purpose of the American public
will tolerate no other view. The
Indifference of the American
people to politics has disappeared.
Any platform and candidates not
conforming to this vast social
and commercial behest will go
down to ignominous defeat at
the polls. Platforms are too Of
ten mere historic rubbish, heaps
Of broken promises. Candidates
are too frequently the unfortun-
ate creatures of arrangements
and calculations. Exigencies.
conditions, national needs and
necessities make better platforms
and produce greater leaders than
does the exercise of proprietor
ship. A disregard of this first
premises will bring our dreams

Official Explanation Of
New Homestead Law
Concise Summary of fits Pro-
visions From u. S. Land
Office

The United States Land Office
at Phoenix, Arizona, is now for.
warding to every homestead en-.
tryman in the land district a copy
of the three year homestead law.
There will also be mailed a blank
for the entryman to fill in anc
sign, If he desires to prove ur
under the law under which his
entry was originally made.
Any homestead entryman who.
Sc entry was made prior to June
6, 1912, will be allowed to prove
up under the old law, which re.
quires hve years residence with
a reasonable amount of cultiva.
ton.
The law specifically requires
that any homestead entrymar
who elects to prove up under the
old law must notify the Register
and Receiver by registered mai
within 12O days after June 6,
1912.
All homestead entrymen who
do not give notice to the Register
and Receiver within the 12O days
from June 6, 1912, stating that
they desire to prove up under the
old law, viii be required to prove
mp undsr the provisions of the
new law.
The new law, commonly known
as the three-year homestead act,
differs materially from the old
law, the main points of differen-
ce being as follows.
RESIDENCE
Three years residence is requir-
ed instead of five. Entryman
must prove by himself and two
credible witnesses that he has a
habitable house upon the land
and has actually resided upon the
same for a term of three years
succeeding the time of filing.
The three years residence re-
quired begins at the time actual
residence is established upon the
land and not at the time of filing.
CULTIVATION
Cultivation of not less than 1-1G
of the area of the entry begin
ming with the second year of the
entry, and not less than ! of the
area beginning with the third
year of the entry and up to the
time of final proof, is required.
This means that at least ten acres
must be cultivated the second
year and at least twenty acres
must be cultivated before proof
can be made, on a 16O-acre home
stead.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Upon filing in the local land of
flee a notice, entrymen are al
lowed a continuous leave of alb
sence for period not exceeding
five months in each year. Notice
of the termination of this leave
of absence must also be filed in
the land Office. This absence
from the land must be continuous
and can not be taken at various
times during the year. Seven
months continuous residence out
of each year is required.
ESTABLISHING RESIDENCE
Residence must be established
within six months, as is the case
under the old law. The Secretary
of the Interior is, however, given
authority to extend this time to
twelve months where there may

be climatic reasons, sickness or
other unavoidable cause.
HELPS


other unavoidable cause.
HEIRS
There is no change in the law
as to heirs of deceased entrymen,
they being required to fulfill all
the requirements of the law ex-
cept that of residence.
FINAL PROOFS UNDER NEW
LAW
Any homestead entryman may
now make proof under the new
law who can by himself and two
credible witnesses prove the re-
quirements of the same, namely,
the required residence and the
required cultivation.
COMPUTATION
There is no change in the old
law in connection with commuta-
ton proofs, excepting that to
commute, fourteen months ac-
tual residence is required, and
an entryman in committing must
show that he is citizen of the
United States. Under the old
law communication proof could be
made by an alien who had de-
clared his intention to become a
citizen. Under the new law the
entryman must be citizen.
TO COMPUTE RESIDENCE
Although the new law requires
three years actual residence,
the five months leave of absence
each year is not deducted. There
fore, under this law an entryman
who lives seven months each
year for three years upon the
land, may make proof, providing
the other requirements of the
law are fulfilled.
