Throughout the afternoon the idea

the meeting Of the city Republican

enthusiastic and sent a committee

"If elected | shall work for the pu,
pills and teachers and not a party"
she declared.
All over the city the news Of the
nomination of Mrs. Weltmer for the
school board was the topic OF conver-
sation this morning and his after
noon if men and women vote as
they are talking, it seems safe to say
Mrs. Weltmer is going to be elected.
The choice of the Progressive party
IN this city, Mrs. Weltmer was en-
dorsed enthusiastically by tie other
parties yesterday afternoon and last
Light the Democrats welcomed her
az the first on the "Citi:ens ticket"
Mrs. Weltmer has lived in Santa Fe
SC long and is so well known that a
sketch is unnecessary.
Her qualities of heart and mind have
endeared her to the people of this
city and she enjoys the unusual dis.

WAS a TEACHER.

Apart from the fact that NJ. ;
Weltmer has had children OF her own
tc educate and is thus peculiarly suit
herself has been teacher. 1t was
4 third of century ago Mrs Weltmer
taught in the schools of Santa Fe and
from all accounts she acquired wide
experience in the various grades and
departments.
HIGHLY ENDORSED,
When the idea OF having women on
the school board in the Ancient City
was aired recently and cries of LET
Us get into the twentieth century on
school matters" was heard, there
vas one name mentioned as an ideal
candidate among the women, and
that was Mrs. Weltmer. She was urg.
en to accept the nomination by the
Joint committee of the Womar's Club
and the Woman S Board of Trade. She
was nominated, she was accepted una.
and people all over Santa
Fe today declare that If the voters of
Santa Fe--the men and women who
have children going to school--have
the sound sense to look after the in
terests of those children rather than
politics, Mrs. Weltmer will be elected
by the greatest majority ever given
d candidate for the school board.
The election takes place Tuesday
and for the first time women will go
to the polls as we'll as men. Politi-
clans are, therefore, unable tc determ.
Inc just what the political map" is
going to look like their calculations
are upset by the new fac'or-WOMAN
and more than that, the idea of vot.
Ing for the person rather than the
party emblem has entered TIE heads
Of many.
A discussion OF the other four can
didates on the Citizens ticket will
appear in these columns tomorrow.

" eItmer was the choice OF the Pro
gresslves, it looked easy to pave the
way FOR the naming OF Two Democrats

ucket of five.
At S o'clock Governor Thornton
called the democratic convention to.
geIher in an adjourned session and
after oratory had flowed for few
minutes Arthur Seligman presented
his report outlining a fusion program.
Then there was cloudburst. Adolf

tily in endorsing Mrs. Weltmer, but ]
disagree with the other part OF the
recommendation OF two Re-
publicans to run with two Democrats.

is sincere. | have tried 'em and so
has every Democrat in Santa Fe coun-
ty tried 'em and found 'em wanting,
(Laughter).
Il do not believe this convention
should come to any agreement such as
is outlined. We have had dealings
with Mr.. Catron years ago. We re.
member very well how during the ad.
ministration of Miguel Antonio Otero
the Republicans laid Catron aside and
then the Democrats, with Good Sa-
maritan impulses (laughter) picked
him up, healed his wounds and
quenched his thirst Voices: Hear:

Il am willing to join hands with our
Progressive friends and give them two
places on the ticket and give the Dem
ocrats two men and one woman. But

Dayton, Ohio, March 2s.-The flood
situation in Dayton today is this:
Previous estimates Of the number
drowned are greatly exaggerated.
The property loss from fire will not
exceed more than a million and half
dollars.
The damage caused to mercantile
houses, factories and residences will
run anywhere from $15,ooo,0oo to $780,
100000.
The water has receded from the
business section Of the city and from
a large portion of the residence por.

Residents in portions still inundated
are being taken to sections not affec-
ted by the flood. There ls no lack Of
fcod. The telephone system are
being restored.
There is much suffering frcm cold,
but all available fuer>,as been appro.

rediate relief So far there has been
no epidemic Of sickness
One thousand miIitiamen arrived to-
cay and have the city In rigid control,
effectively restraining looters, sight
seers that will interfere with rescue
work and all disorder. Touring the
business sections today, officials
found the high stage Of the flood was
nine feet at the corner Of Third and
Main streets which is IN the very
heart Of the city.
The onrushing waters flooded the
first floor of every store in the bust.
ness district. This constitutes the
chief financial loss. The tower of
steel high school was leveIed and the
Leonard building on Main street was
Undermined SO that 1t collapsed.
Many housese were swept away in
RverdaIe, West Dayton North Day
ton and Edgement.
The following buildings withstood
the flood and furnished shelter to
