Whereas, Senate Bill No. 115, bill

NOT MIXED
UP IN IT
Ne ISSUES STATEMENT GIVING FLAT
DENIAL TO ARTICLE BY Mr..
N0RMENT, AND DISCUSSES FED,
ERAL APPOINTMENTS
He FAV0RS DELGADO
FOR The LAND OFFICE

Governor William c. Mcdonald this
afternoon, issued a statement in which
he made specific denial of the charge
! that he had participated in a confer
! ence with other prominent party
! Democrats and there discussed the
parcelling out of public offices where
by Francisco Delgado was to be
/ transferred as candidate for the land
office receivership to the land office
registership. The governor takes eX-
ception to an article which he asserts
was written by James w. Norment OF
Santa Fe and which appeared in Al
buquerque newspapers. The govern
or's statement is as follows:
In the Albuquerque Morning Jour
nal and also in the Albuquerque
Evening Herald of March 10th appears
an article over the signature of one
James w. Norment of Santa Fe which
SO far as | an personally concerned,
is not worthy of any consideration.
The only reason why give it any at.
tention is because of an attempted
injustice to others.
In that article this statement ap.
pears: "a conference was held in
which Governor Mcdonald, Summers
Burlhart, National Committeeman A.
A. Jones, State Chairman A. H. Huds-
peth and others participated and ac-
quesced, and at which it was agreed
to switch Mr. Delgado from the re-
ceivership to the registership,' Now
this statement is absolutely false. No
conference has been held since the
state committee met between the
other gentlemen named and myself
and there has never been conference
pertaining to this subject. Since the
pretended foundation for this article
is untrue it is not worth while to
consider it further. | think the peo'
pie of New Mexico will take it for
what it is worth all things considered
! will say this, however, for myself,
that some weeks ago | promised Mr..
Francisco Delgado to assist him so far
as | might be able to obtain an ap-
pointment in the Santa Fe land Of
flee This | have done | think it
was the 5th Of March that the lieu
tenant governor, secretary of state
and myself joined in a telegram to
Congressman FERGUSON asking the
appointment of Mr.. Delgado as regis
ter of this land office. ! have also
asked other friends to indorse Mr..
Delgado and believe that they will do
so and ! sincerely hope he may re-
ceive the appointment, notWithstand |

S(DELlCHTS ON
HARVESTER cos
BUSINESS

Omaha, Neb., March 11.-A cooper
ative binding twine factory started a
few years ago in Sioux City as COM
petitor of the International Harvest
er company was a failure for lack OF
capital. H. E. Brown, of Sioux City,
Ia, an officer in the defunct concern,
so testified today in the defense to
the governments merger suit against
that corporation.
Mr. Brown qualified as an expert
in farming, binder machinery, binder
twne and grain elevators. His testi-
mony threw some side lights on the
Harvester conditions generally and
the twine business in particular.
81 guess that factory is still located
in Sioux City" Brown said, speaking
of his efforts, but | never heard of it
turning out any twine. There was
plenty of machinery in the plant and
plenty of fibre 10 be had, but woe-
full lack of cash. 1t is possible the
International has got hold of it and
shut it down. None of the stockhold-
ers appear to care.
Other witnesses in the forenoon ses-
sion testified generally as to condi-
tions in the binder and other farm
implement trade.

WHAT DOES CHURCHILL
KNOW ABOUT NAvIEs?

Ottawa, Ont, March 1.-THE house
OF commons was divided on straight
party lines today in its views on the
Churchill correspondence which the
premier presented last night in con-
nection with the naval bill debate.
The government members maintain
that the correspondence is complete
and timely justification of their oppo-
sition to the principle of Canadian
navy, the great obstacle to which
they have all along contended is the
heavy cost of plant and the difficulty
of manning the ships.
Members of the opposition on the
other hand, say that Winston Church
i'll does not know what he is talking
about when he discusses Canada's
ability to build and maintain dread
naughts. They hold that his estimate
of $75,O00,000 for ship yards is ridicu-
lous, in view of the fact that the
United States built a dreadnaught
shipyard for s40OO,OOO.

SALARIES BILL
IS AGAIN VETOED
SENATE BILL NO. 205, WHICH IS ALMOST
A REPLICA OF FORMER MEASURE,
MEETS WITH PROMPT ACTION IN Ex-
ECUTIvE OFFICE

The governor this afternoon sent tl
the senate another veto message dis
approving of Senate Bill No. 205 which
was the second Old Guard salary bill
The message is brief. 1t says the bill
resembles the former one except that
it is a trifle higher. The governors S
message in full is as follows.
March II, 1913.
To the Honorable President, and
Members of the Senate, Santa Fe,
N. NJ.
Gentlemen:
| return herewith Senate Bill No,
205, as amended, entitled "An act
relative to salaries of county officers, .
without my approval.
This bill is practically a duplicate
Of Senate Bill No. 1O4 which vetoed
on February 2Sth. The only difference,
so far as have been able to ascers
tain, is that this bill raises salaries
in some particulars over what they
were in the other bill.
In examining these bills l have
found it quite important and source
Of considerable Information to go
Thoroughly into the provisos because
we do not learn all there is to the sal
airy proposition in the salaries as pro-
vided on the face OF the bills. These
provisos do not decrease but always
are inteded to increase salaries.
I do not deem it necessary to give
any further reasons for the veto OF
this bill and will simply empll ,size
what said in vetoing Senate Bill No.
104. There has, however, been raised
a question as to the legality and con-
stitutionality of this act because of
the manner in which it was passed.
This | do not deem it necessary or
proper to discuss at this time.
Respectfully yours,
VIM. C. MCDONALD,
Governor

man of Baltimore, who marched in the
Maryland division, said the marchers
were forced to walk in single file and
that they were greeted all along the
line by jeers and shouts and obsence
remarks from the bystanders. He
gave the numbers of several police
who, he said neglected the work of
keeping the crowds back. One officer
to whom he complained he said, told

DR.. Mythen said that the police gen
orally had become par. of the crowd

insulted the paraders He testified
that he had been told that Mary Mel

parade, had been pulled out of line by
the crowd and her guide had difficulty
iii resculng her.
John A. Johnston, commissioner of
the District of Columbia, who has
charge of the police department., was
the next witness. He placed in the

DEFENDS POLICE.
Commissioner Johnson made a gen
eral defense of the conduct of Super
intendent Sylvester and the police
force in the disorders during the pa
rade. He said the superintendent of
police framed comprehensive orders
embracing perfect arrangements for
the protection of the marchers. That
the execution of plans failed, he said,
could not well be explained, nor could
the responsibility for the disorder be
accurately placed.
Commissioner Johnston further de-
clared that the crowd was disorder
ly in a good natured way and that it
looked upon the parade in light

GERS in the streets did 'prodigious
policemen whose actions called for

laud Major Sylvester as the most /
chief of police in the United |
States in the handling of large

A Card to the Public

We beg to announce that we have disposed of
all the contentious which have agitated this com
pany for the past several months
The courts have listened attentively to every
charge that has been brought against it, and have
rendered judgment that it is properly managed, and
that every policy backed by hundreds of thousands
of dollars of assets above all liabilities.
This company did more business during June
than ever in its history and since the abandonment
of it's life insurance business has made good money
for its stockholders
With these statements, we beg to assure our
patrons and the public that we shall endeavor to
merit continuance of confidence by giving the best
attention to every detail of the business to the end
that every policyholder may be fully satisfied with
our service.

Mr.. Slater. OF Bryan, in explaining
his vote in the House Thursday Cor
the new county Of Barrow, said he
viewed new county propositions as
good things rather than undesirable
things, and that every time one was
mentioned he undertook to find a rea-
son for voting for 1t rather than
against H.
Mr.. Slater declared he not only IA
vored the enlargement OF the presen.
House Of Representatives because
Of Georgia's growth and progress,
but ne emphatically believed the Sen
ate membership might well be dou-
bled
In the Senate il is possible for a
handful Of men-f1fteen-to block pro-
posed constitutional amendment, s
even though the entire House of Rep
resentstives might favor them, and
the remainder Of the Senate-a very
heavy matortty-also might favor
them" said Mr.. Slater.

minded body-but II is too small The
power of individual Senators Is too
great.

tions really justify-and | am salts
fed there is more than one such To-
cality in this State now"
