 Chas. F. Cole of Batesville was made temporary chairman and Powell Clayton, Jr., temporary secretary. The recommenda- tion of the committee that the organization be made permanent and a minority report called forth a very considerable flow of oratory. Among those who spoke for Meyers were John Hall, Jake Shaul, s. s. Langley, w. N. Ivie and U. s. Bratton. A. mong the advocates of Cole were H. L. Remmel, Rev. E. c. Morris, Fred E. Johnson, and Lewis Moore There did not appear anything of the kind on the surface, but it was under stood to be a test of strength be- tween Remmel and Meyers. Each side insisted there was nothing personal in the fight, the Meyers men claiming the nonors should be passed around, and the Cole men claiming that he had made a most excellent presiding officer and should not be displaced. The vote stood Cole 177, Myers 125.
 The following twenty commit teemen at large were named: C.. c. Trimble, H. L. Remmel, c. w Caron, Wallace Townsend, J. N.

FEAR ZAPATA'S OUTLAWS. United Press Dispatch.

United Press Dispatch.
 Washington, D. C., July 15. - General Obregon and Gonzales will lead with Villas support in a final assault of Mexico City a. cording to information received at Constitutionalist headquart- CTS today. This indicates that Villa will now assume subordin- ate position and emphasizes the fait that the Constitutionalists are again united.
 The advance of the Constitu- tionalist army awaits only the arrival of ammunition from Tampico. The schooner Sunrise docked there last night with an enormous cargo of ammunition. If Huerta and Secretary Blan- quet leave the capital officials say that the last restraining force, which can prevent the footing of the city will be elim- mated and they fear Zapata will raid the capital
 Carranza, however, claims that Zapata will act with him. If he does not and the foreigners suf- fer, the United States will like ly be held responsible.

Battle Axe Defeats New Home.
 Kenyon, July I5-Battle Axe took an easy game from New Home on New Homes grounds last Saturday. Swifton's star battery was in the harness for New Home, but this only seem- ed to make the Battle Axe boys the more determined, and for four innings they batted the Swifton wonder all over the field for ten runs. In the fifth inning he was relieved by Reed, who fared no better. The boys made three runs off of him be- fore the rain stopped the game. O'Milligan pitched air-tight ball, allowing New Home only three hits, and but for some errors should have had a shut out The phenomenal catch by Kitchen was one of the features of the game. Ring was the star at bat, getting two triples, one double, and one single out of four times up.

KINNEY NAMED
 FOR GOVERNOR
By Republican State Conven- tiOn Which Seats Lily White
 Delegation From Pulaski.

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, July 15.- The Re publican state convention was held here Tuesday with sixty six counties represented.
 The Lily White delegation from Pulaski county defeated the Coal Blacks, which is con- sidered by many to mean the eventual elimination of the ne- gro from the councils of the party. q -e
 A. l.. Kinney, now serving his third term as mayor of Green Forrest, was nominated for gov ernor. For the first time in years, there was a contest in the convention for this nomina- tion. Mayor Kinney was nomi- mated by A. J. Russell, and sec onded by John I. Warrington and Harry H. Meyers. A. C.. Curtis of Lonoke was nominated by H. L. Remmel, and seconded by N B. Burrow. J. S. McCon- nell of Hot Springs was nomina- ted by Fred E Johnson and sec- onded by c. M. Wade. The vote stood, Kinney POI, Curtis 69, Mcconnell 21. Upon motion of H. l.. Remmel the nomination of Mayor Kinney was then made unanimous
 It was decided that the con- verftion would nominate this year only candidates for gov ernor and United States Sena- tor. When it came to the latter office, it appeared that all turn ed instinctively to Harry H. Meyers, the Republican nominee for governor in 1902, 1904 and 1913. He was placed in nomi- nation by A. c. Remmel, and his nomination was then de- clared by exclamation.
 The committee on Credentials reported a recommendation that the contesting delegations from Pulaski county, the Lily Whites headed by A. c. Remmel, anc the Coal Blacks headed by John E. Bush, be seated with half 8 vote each. A substitute was offered that the report of the state committee seating the Lily White delegation be adopt ed, and without debate the sub stitute carried by a vote of 15O to 126.

A GOOD MAN NEEDED

When X. II. Case accepted the
nomination for the legislature he
stated that he was able to give little
or no time to campaigning. and that
he left his interests entirely in the
hands Of the voters of Luna county.
Mr.. Case is a worker and an intel.
ligent businessman. well able to look
after the affairs Of this section with
out the help or guidance Of profess
sional politicians. To make the race
is a sacfi6ce, and to win. holds forth
no promise Of emolument consistent
with the services to be rendered.
Those who know conditions are
aware Of the fact that, were graft
an incentive. the little which could
be gained would not compensate
man Of any caliber no matter how
corrupt he might be. Only public zpir-
i and the insistence Of voters per-
suaded Mr.. Case to give the time nee
essary to secure the interests Of I.n-
"a county in the next legislature.

A MOST IMPORTANT STEP

Luna county has 1t last obtained
the services Of an agricultural ex.
pert. This is the most important
step toward the full development Of
the agricultural resources Of The
Mimbres Valley, and means the earl,
realization Of the rosy dreams Of the
pioneer farmers who are giving the
best years Of their lives TO the work
of reclamation. The county is paying
for the best that can be obtained, and
barring misfortune. the coming year
will mark the real beginning Of scien-
tifc farming in this section Of the
Southwest.
The happy consummation came
through the action Of the Luna Coun-
ty Board Of Education. and that
BODY should receive the credit for
having the broad vision Of its duties
to the citizens who chose il to ad-
minister the school funds in its keep
ing. There will, of course, be oppo-
sition from those who are unprogres-
sive and who cannot realize the vi
tai necessity for the step taken. Time
will bring justification. however.
II is impossible at this time to es-
innate the conservation which exper-
imentation will accomplish. To the
limited practical knowledge which
farmers have acquired through cost
~ and laborious trials. will BE- added
the results Of scientific research, and
the best minds that have dealt with
agriculture in the United States and
abroad will be brought to bear on the
everyday problems that vex our ag-
riculturists. Good is inevitable.
The county is to be congratulated
ON taking advantage Of the generous
offer Of the U. 8. Department Of Az.
riculture, which came about through
the thoughtful cooperation Of the
New Mexico College Of Agriculture
and Mechanic Arts. The work ac- |
complished here will be a monument |
to the unsel6sh devotion Of DR.. I.add
and his associates.
To those who have suspicious of
The efficiency of this branch Of de-
activity. the Graphic
wishes well, but hopes that they will
Early see the economic imperative
which brings the expert to Deming,
hat they will take advantage Of I
he opportunity for their own good

WILLIAMS HAS MADE GOOD

Hugh Fl. Williams was in Deminl
the early part Of the week in the in.
terest of his candidacy. He states
that he finds the sentiment very fav-
orable to him. The Graphic has ne
hesitancy in endorsing him. because
he has looked well after the affairs
of Luna county. II is easy to BELT
tie the work Of anyone. but there is
no gainsaying that Mr.. Williams has
worked hard and has accomplished
much for his constituency. His rec
ord is clean.
