REPUBLICANS NAME HERNANDEZ
AND WILLIAMS BY ACtAMATON

held at Santa Fe this week was most
harmonious and now every republi-
can in the state will take off his coat
and put his shoulder to the wheel Ia
assist in the ultimate success of the
republican nominee.

iba county, for congress. Hugh II.
Williams Of Luna county, for cor
poration commissioner.
These nominations were made,
lengthy resolutions were adopted and
new state central committee named
by the republican state convention in
about as many minutes as il had TAX
en- hours the past two days to patch
up u truce between the Bernalillo
county factions.
At the final showdown on the first
ballot William II. Andrews OF Berna-
lilo county, drew forty-seven votes
those Of Bernalillo, Curray and
Eddy counties, with five votes from
San Juan and four from Grant; but
before the vote could be announced
Judge Edward A. Mann of Bernalillo
county moved to make the nomina-
ton unanimous, aud the motion ear
ried with a hurrah.
There followed the customary out
bursts of convention enthusiasm. and
the successful nominee for congress
astonished the delegates, many OF
whom did not know him personally,
with a really eloquent and sensible
address in English. In fact il elee-
trified the audience, and Hernandez
received an ovation that expressed
10 some extent the enthusiasm OF the
convention in finding itself united on
the ticket.
The nomination of Hugh II. Viii
liams was put over in even much
quicker time, and was unanimous
from the start.
The convention ratified the nomin-
alton BY each county Of its members
for the state central committee.
which will meet tomorrow morning
for organization and outlining the
campaign.
United States Senator 7. B. Catron
presided as temporary chairman, ana
delivered the keynote speech IN when
he took occasion to criticise Presi-
dent Wilson and Congressman d. b.
Ferguson.
r. C. Ely Of Deming, was chosen
permanent chairman. with j. II. Lu-
cero rs secretary.
The Baca and Andrews delegation
from Bernalillo county buried tue
hatchet and were both seated IN the
convention with half vote.
Hernandez, the nominee for con-
sressman. was for brief time re-
ceiver Of the Santa Fe land office
in the closing dnvs Of the Taft re
cine. He has been active in politics
in his own county, but is compara-
lively unknown throughout the state.

LUNA COUNTY Schools
IN EXCELLENT SHAPE
RURAL SCHOOLS ARE IMPROVED


The growth of the Mimbres Valley
is indicated in the condition of rura
schools over the county. New school
houses, have been built the past yeai
and many more are in prospect. I'm
provements are being made and new
courses laid out. Agriculture is to
receive special attention from now
ON. The Luna County High School
is growing rapidly and il is expected
that its registration will reach 1000
this year.
"A class Of fifteen are entitled to
entrance into the Luna County High
School September IA. This class is
composed Of Ross Gesler, Jala Arner,
Millicent Lewis, Eugenia White, An
ME Simmons, Lincoln Cossitt, Sam
Stearly, Columbus; Emil Parry, Sun
nysi,le school; William Bishop, Foy-
wool, OIL Town school; Anna Clay
ton, MynJhs Willie Folks. Canbray :
Robert Yeargin. Hondale; Esther
Porcher, Hondale; Roy Osborne,
Denim, Capitol Dome school; Laval
lette Parker, Cooks.
There were thirty-three applicants
for certificates in all, a number were
seventh graders and made very cred
liable marks in the subjects which
they have studied.
The outlook for the school year
of 1914.l5 is that il will be a record
making one in the history Of this
county. Next years class will prob
ably greatly exceed the present list.
People are arriving in various
parts of the county nearly every day
with a view to locating or investigat-
ing for location. The enrolment has
increased for many schools and new
are needed.
An excellent corps of teachers has
been elected. They are composed Of
professional and first grade certifi-
cate holders, with one exception
known at present. The closest at
tention will be given to scientific
school management. Waste time
during school hours, we hope will be
nm unknown quantity. The heavy re-
quirements Of the rural school pupil
will naturally eliminate even n desire
TO waste time.
A number of teachers have report
ed on the phase of industrial work
for which they are best fitted. A
report on assignment Of industrial
course for each school in the county
will be ready son. Nearly all on the
teaching staff have passed a test in
agriculture, selecting that text for
one Of the three required industrial
subjects.
Some Of the boards Of directors
have been improving the buildings
and grounds and purchasing equip
ment for the schools. District No.
8 has provided wells at Hondale, To-
a, Mountain View and Capitol Dome,
fencing grounds and painting houses
where necessary. Hondale has been
with n windmill and tower.
District No. Q has also given atten-
ion to the school grounds at Water
90 and Sunnyside.
A showing will be made in exhibit
work for both the county and state
'airs, and all will be represented at
he exhibit at Albuquerque at the
ime of the meeting Of the New Mex
co Educational Association.
County Superintendent Grace @.
}oebel will begin visiting schools as
soon as they open in September. In
'estigations are being made for three
additional school rooms in that many
ocalities.

Lack of Vessels to Carry Cotton to Foreign Mills
 Worst Feature.
CONGRESS TO RELIEVE
Considered Certain That National Legislature Will Take Steps to Provide More Sliips-Pine
 Bluff Statistics.

Steadiness, continued strength and a strong tendency for continued though gradual increase il prices quoted on the big exchanges of the world are the ruling factors in cotton trading, and with the passing of each week there appears more and more plainly the fact that the most import ant thing which is hindering the actu- al consumption of the staple is the lack of sufficient vessels with which to carry the cotton to foreign mills.
 Following Thursdays holiday, the New York and New Orleans ex- changes yesterday showed increased strength on the bull side of the pits. Weather reports from all sections of the belt, the report that 1 0o0,Goo CT more bales are being held off the market in Texas, the into-sight move ment, and the well-founded helief that domestic bulls are we'll in control of the situation, all aided in giving the market substantial stab; !ty.
 An important factor in the present condition of affairs is the rapid elimi- nation, through monthly balances of trade, of the heavy indebt sln ess Of United States to England and oth7r foreign countries. De:pite the fact that comparatively little raw cotton and other items which ordinarily make up the biggest part of this country's exports, have been shipped oversea, each month witnesses a bal ance of trade in favor of the United States against it's foreign customers, in large amount, and what was at one timn an indebtedness of nearly $1,- 000,000,000 has now been reduced, by cash payment and by trade balances, to sum almost insignificant in pro portion. tb~
 Indications are becoming more pro- nounced, that the approaching ses- sion of congress will adopt some measure looking to the matter of providing bottoms in which cotton and grain may be safely transported. President Wilson and influential members of the upper and lower houses have gone on record as favor' ing some such action, and it appears now that within comparatively short while large consignment of raw stuff will be moving ove: 'a. and the big English and other mills will ,"1t e more be using. cotton in the manu- facture of cloth. Demand for the pro duct of these mills is reported as picking up considerably the past few weeks, and despite the war, it is generally believed in the trade that the mills will be working full time again within the next two or three months.
