Moe Rain

Several good rains fell here
this week. These slow steady
rains coming on top of the
splendid rains Of last week have
thoroughly soaked the earth and
have left enough moisture in
the ground to almost mature
some of the crops grown here.
Farmers viii get busy now in
earnest.

1t developed during the recess
that no Spanish American were
being selected, so the Third dis
trict withdrew the name Of Gov
ernor w. C. Mcdonald and sub
stituted Felix Martinez. The
Eighth district withdrew H. L.
Buckley, Of Colfax county, and
substituted Felix Garcia, of Rio
Arriba county.
After the nominations had
been made j. D. Hand Withdrew
in favor of Governor Mcdonald
saying that he did not want to
see New Mexico's delegation go
to Baltimore without the COVER
nor.
Aside from the selection of
eight delegates and eight alter
mates TO the democratic conven-
ton at Baltimore, instructed to
vote for Champ Clarks nomina-
ton for president, the democrat
ic state convention at Clovis wit
messed another one-round bout
today by the Barnalillo county
delegation. This time the par
ticipants we've Summer Burk-
hart and r. L. Wooton. But
one blow was struck, MIR. Woot-
on striking Mr.. Burkhart over
the left eye. when the two We're
separated. Later the breach
was healed in public by an apol-
ogy from Mr.. Wooton, which
was directed to the convention
and a personal apology to Mr..
Burkhart, which he accepted
and then moved that the conven-
ton accept Mr.. Wooton's apollo
gy. Then the two men shook
hands.
AS near as can be learned,
Mr.. Wooton took exception to
remarks made by Mr.. Burkhart
and instead Of replying in kind,
he struck Mr.. Burkhart. The
affair happened Just at the time
the convention was being called
to order by j. H. Paxton, of
Dona Ana county. Senator
Barth Immediately claimed the
floor and in a violent speech in
sisted that the Bernahllo delega-
ton repudiate Mr.. Wooton and
wanted him elected from the
convention. At first his motion
met with considerable support,
but before it was put to a vote
and after an explanation by r.
S. Parker, together with com
ments that the Barnalillo delega-
ton should wash its own dirty
linen, the matter was allowed
to rest undecided for a time.
Just before the noon recess, Mr..
The Clovis news. [volume] (Clovis, N.M.) 1907-1929, 1912-05-16

cepted and no more was heard
of the matter during the re-
mainder Of the session.
A brief session of the state
central committee was held this
morning at which J. H. Paxton,
of Dona Ana county, was re-
commended for temporary chair
man; A. @. Torres, Of Socorro
county, was recommended for
temporary secretary. and Anto-
Mo Paeheco, Of Socorro county
and Eugenio Romero Of Mora
lcounty, were recommended as
temporary interpreters. For
permanent officers, G. A. Rich
ardson, of Chaves county, and
John L. Zimmerman, of San
Miguel county, were named as
chairman and secretary, respec-
lively. A. G. Torres, of Socor-
no county, and Luciano Mondra-
gon, of Sandoval county, were
named as permanent interpre-
ters. These suggestions were
adopted by the convention.
The committee on permanent.
organization and order of busi-
ness was next to report and
here the first fighting developed.
The permanent officers of the
convention were agreed upon
but when it came to sections A
and 5 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 COMMITTEES.
A minority was presented, pro-
testing against this order of
business and suggesting that
these two sections be stricken
out.
This precipitated a heated de-
bate lead by H. D. Terrell, of
Curry county, fer reorganization,
and Senator Isaac Barth, of Bern
alillo county who favored letting
the old committee hold over.
Judge Terrall contended that
there was a big fight on this fall
and thus they were prepared for
the war that was to be prepared
against the common enemy.
Senator Barth insisted that the
present organization was the
best that the democratic party
ever had, and said that he was
a member of it. He insisted
that this scheme to reorganize
was simply a ruse to dispose A.
H. Hudspeth and put in charge
men who were unfriendly
to the governor. He openly
charged that it was to further
the political ambitions of those
behind the movement and in an
extended speech, in which he
lauded the governor, and wanted
to know il the convention was
going to be party to a move
ment to build up an organization
in opposition to him, won the
convention to his side. When
the adoption of the minority re-
port was moved by DR.. ]. H.
Wroth, Of Bernalillo county, it
carried with scarcely a dissent
ling voice.
Mr.. Tittman then read the
/ resolution, instructing the New
Mexico delegation for Champ
Clark. It closed with this para
graph:
I'VE hereby instruct our dele
gates to vote for the nomination
of Hon. Champ Clark for presi-
dent on every ballot at which

ton, or until, in the opinion Of

nomination can no longer be rea-
sonably hoped for. -

NEED OF MORE POLICEMEN.

Numerous robberies in the southern end of
the city calls attention to the fact that there
is but one policeman to cover the entire terri
tory from Smith street to the river and from
the Central railroad to the Staten Island
sound One man for such a territory is as
good as useless. AS well might this officer be
placed somewhere else where he might be Of
some service in the case of riots and disturb
ance.
While it is true that robberies will be COM
mitted even when there are policemen on every
block, the fact remains that the people should
have officers within call if they need one; also
the knowledge that policeman is not more
than a few blocks away will cause the
thieves to hesitate about entering houses.
The territory now covered by one man south
of Smith street and east of the Central railroad
should be divided into three beats at least.
These three men could be almost within call of
each other and the people would know that
there was some protection not so many blocks
away. The need of additional policemen in
this city is becoming more and more evident.
It is plain that robbers can do as they please

Perth Amboy demands sufficient light at the

must be kept burning continuously all the
evening. This is a small thing for a city of

SO far behind the times and allow the railroad
to thus ignore us. But to remain silent longer

AT THE WILSON INAUGURATION

Considerable comment has been made on the
announcement of Senator Nichols, of Cumber-
land county, that he intends to introduce bill
in the next Legislature, appropriating $4,000
to defray the expenses for taking the entire
National Guard Of the state to Washington for
the Inauguration of President-elect Wilson.
Those opposed to the plan declare this would
be great waste of public funds. In the first
place they contrast such an expenditure with
the old time Jeffersonian simplicity, for which
Governor Wilson is noted. It is also declared
that $4,000 would go a great way toward
placing the state militia on a more satisfactory
basis and would buy a suitable site for state
camp in the northern part of the state, which.
is greatly needed for the efficiency of the
-zniia1iittia ziaitiia
Admitting all these arguments, the fact re-
mains that this is the first time in the history
of the United States that President has been
eleced from this state. It is customary to
make an elaborate display at the inauguration
ceremonies and it is highly fitting that we
should show our enthusiasm by having big
would be scant courtesy, indeed, in the eyes of
the thousands of people gathered from every
state in the union, watching the procession
pass up Pennsylvania avenue on Inauguration
day, if Gov Wilson own state should be prac
tically unrepresented in the line of march. 1t
would certainly cause much more comment
than would the expenditure of $4,000 for the
expense. It would place New Jersey in very
unenviable light among her sister states and
would give the impression that we were en-
tirely Indifferent to the honor that is ours
alone.
We believe New Jersey should be at the head
of the procession on March with demon
stration exceeding any other state in the union.
If it will cost $4,000 to do this, the state is
wealthy enough to stand the expense. By all
means let us show the nation that we are proud
of Governor Wilson and rejoice in his elevation
to the presidency.

had bitterly complained against paying the

If the Public Utility Commission believes
that the Public Service Corporation can make
profit of eight per cent, on its investment
in its gas properties in all divisions of the state
there seems to be no reason why the Perth Am
boy Gas Light Company cannot reduce it's
price to the same figure. But in fixing such a
rate, the Public Utility Commission should
bear in mind that the law empowers the com
mission to establish standards as well as
rates. How many people of this city find
their gas bills any lower now than they were
when the local rate was 81 5O7 In nine cases
out Of ten, bills are practically the same and

neighboring towns are getting the service for
ten per cent. less. AS already pointed out
however, quality should not suffer because of
the reduction. There is good reason to be-

The decision of the Public Utility Commits
sion is an important one.

NINETY-CENT GAS.

By the recent decision of the Public Utility
Commission ninety cent gas seems to be within
sight After a most elaborate investigation the
commissioners decided that profit of eight
per cent. on the investment, which is consid-
cred ample, can be made by selling gas at
ninety cents per 1000 feet.
Gas, electricity, telephone and other such
public utilities are natural monopolies. Com
petition only tends to increase the price and
adds to the annoyance of the public. Therefore,
any company controlling these monopolies are
really in position to charge as much as the
public will stand. Because they have taken adj
vantage of the situation, Public Utility Com
missions have come into existence in many
states. These commissions are organized for
the sole purpose Of protecting the public and of
solving such problems as has just been put
before the commission in New Jersey.
The complaint on which the recent gas deci-
sion was made by the utility board, came from
the city of Paterson, where gas is furnished by
what is known as the Passaic division Of the
Public Service Gas Company, a subsidiary of
the Public Service Corporation. The utility
commission has definitely fixed the rate at
ninety cents in this division and has recon-
mended that the same rate be established in all
divisions of the Public Service Gas Company
There is reason to believe that the Public
Service will appeal the decision to the courts
and it may be some time before the ninety-cent
gas is reality but in view of the elaborate in
vestigaton made by the utility commission be-
fore it rendered it's decision it is likely that the
reduced rate will prevail
1t is interesting to note that in the Passaic
division of the Public Service Gas Company
the rate for gas is 81. 10 per thousand feet, with
discount of ten cents per thousand feet for
prompt payment, making the net price ST. In
Perth Amboy, where the gas is furnished by
the Perth Amboy Gas Light Company, one of
the few Independent gas companies in the
state, the price of gas is $1.25 per thousand
feet, with discount of twenty-five cents for
prompt payment, making the net rate 81, the
same as the Public Service. This rate was
made for Perth Amboy only after the people
