Union Republicans
Harmonious

Clayton, N. NJ, Aug. Is. The
joint convention of Republicans
and Progressives met here yes
terday in what proved to be one
of the largest and most enthusi-
astic political gatherings ever held
in Union county. Judge Oscar
7. Toombs and Candelario Vigil
were nominated candidates for
the lower house of the legislature
and the following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, That we believe in a
united Republican party in Union
county because we have a unity
of interest. We endorse the ac-
tions of our United States SEN
ators in congress. We commend
their efforts in behalf of the $40
acre homestead bill; we also beg
to endorse the actions of the su-
preme bench of the state; we also
endorse the action of the major
ity members of the corporation
commission.
Weare greatly pleased to notice
in our midst among the delegation
the Hon, R. P. Ervien, present
state land commissioner and one
of the Republican fathersof Union
county.
We most heartily endorse the
administration of his Office. We
deplore the fact that under our
present Democratic administra-
ton the burden of the taxpayers
of Union county have been great,
ly increased as compared with the
taxes under the Republican ad,
ministration.

Notice to the Public.

Santa Fe, N. NJ, August Is,
1914.
On account of the heavy move
ment of grain and other crops,
the railroad companies traversing
this state urge the necessity of
all shippers expediting the move
ment of same by prompt releas-
ing of cars at destination, and
the loading of all cars to their
maximum capacity, in order to
prevent a scarcity of cars for
shipment of crops and other
freight.
All shippers will be rendering a
commendable public service by
complying with the desires of the
railroad companies in this re-
spect, and this commission would
urge that this be done in every
instance possible. On account
of the war situation and the
blockading of exports at water
terminals, many cars are tied ur
for extensive periods, and those
in service between inland points
are urged to be released prompt.

CABLE MESSAGES
ARE INPEDED BY
WAR CONDITIONS
Censors at European Terminals
Hold Up Every Word Un-
til Judgment Is Passed
Upon 1t.

New York, August 18.-In-
quiry at the offices here of the
three great transatlantic cable
companies developed the fact
that on all fifteen submarine
lines between North America and
Europe traffic was still badly
congested today, but primarily to
the requirements and restrictions
of the censors at tie European
terminals.
The Western Union Telegraph
company's system of eight cables
was in better condition than at
any time since the establishment
of censorship, it was said today.
The delivery of messages to
the terminals in Europe, how
ever, does not necessarily mean
that they will reach their desti-
nations Immediately. One day
last week the London Office of the
Western Union reported that g.
900 cablegrams had piled up there
awaiting inspection by the cen
sors. The entire system of the
Western Union cables to the
south Of Europe is similarly af-
fected, as practically all the
terminals are in British posses
sions.
The--aholition of code has.
worked great hardships on the
Western Union as we'll as on
other systems.
The Commercial Gable COM
pany's system of five cables to
Europe was reported today to be
working with all the dispatch
that could be expected.
1t was said at the New York
office of the French Cable COM
pany which operates two cables,
one to England and one to France,
that the company had reduced
the delay to twenty hours.
The English owned cable lines
between England and central
and southern continental Europe
and Scandinavian peninsula were
said to be interrupted, although
under a censorship even more Sc
we're than that imposed on the
lines to North America.
the lines through the medi-
terranean to ports in Asia Minor
and the Far East are also under
strict censorship. The majority
of these lines are English owned.
The Commercial company's
trans-Pacific cable from San
Francisco to Manila, via Homo
lulu, Midway and Guam and the
lines between Manila and ports
: in Japan and China, with the ex-
ception of Hong Kong and points
reached through that city which
is under British control, and the
:, lines between the United States
and Central and South America
:, are the only cables not under
:, censorship.

between these two chieftains who
have had a serious falling out,
For. that reason an expression can
not be gotten from him direct.
Gunter Lessing' of Ell Paso, Cen
eral Villas attorney on the bor-
der. claiming to speak for Cen
eral Villa, said tonight:
You may deny as emphatical-
ly as you please that there is any
danger that General Villa will set
up an independent republic or
that there is any rupture between
General Villa and First Chief Car
ranza. 1t is a well established
fact that Gen. Villa has no per-
sonal ambition. He realizes that
the interests of Mexico will be
best served by a complete cessa-
tion,o armed hostilities. What
ever differences may have exist
ed between First Chief Carranza
and General Villa were settled by
the Pacto de Paz of Torreon. The
basis of the rumor that General
| Villa will set up an independent
republic as published in scare
headlinus yesterday and today
was the charge that First Chief
Carranza had confscated the car
go of the steamer Hatteras which
reached Tampico several days ago
laden with arms, ammunition and
other supplies consigned to Gen.
Villa. Nothing could be further
from the truth. The entire cargo
was delivered to Lieut.. Col. Leo
poldo Gallardo of the staff of Gen.
Aguirre Benavides. one of Gen.
Villas most trusted lieutenants,
and by him shipped from Tampico
to Gen. Villa at chihuahua. Col.
/ Gallardo reached Juarez this af-
ternoon and not only confirms
this statement but says he was
the bearer of a very friendly note
from First Chief Carranza to Gen.
Villa. I"

Upon reading the alarming re-

respondent of the International
News Service the following state
ment:
In view of the alarming re-
ports published Yesterday and to-
day, feel it necessary in the un-
, avoidable absence of Gen. Villa to
state that the reports are abso
lutely false. No breach between
: First Chief Carranza and Gen.

about to set up an independent

RESOLUTIONS:

lencia county, in'convention as
sembled, hereby renew our faith
in an allegiance to the grand
old Republican party, and
pledge ourselves to the prin-
ciples promulgated in its last
national and state platform.
We condemn the present
democratic state administration.
For twenty years the territory Of
New Mexico under Republican
administration was always able
to meet its Indebtedness when
due, pay its warrants at par and
sell its bonds above par, but un-
der the present democratic ad-
ministration we find the reverse
to be true.
We favor an economical sal
ary bill, allowing county officers
just compensation for their ser
vices, but at the same time look
ing to the interest of the tax
payer.
We are in favor Of a just tax
law whereby all the property Of
the state will bear its just pro-
portion to the burden OF taxa
ton. We are in favor Of good
roads for New Mexico and urge
upon the Legislature to be elect
ed, at its session to pass ade-
quate laws to enable the state
and counties to build and main
tain good roads.
Whereas, 1t has pleased AL
mighty God to remove the Hon
orable John E. Griffith, who
lately filed the high judicia
office Of district attorney for the
Seventh Judicial District OF the
State of New Mexico, Of which
this county forms a part.

ty, in convention assembled, tina
the county has lost an able anc
fearless prosecutor, who has lef

and Justice in the conduct of th'
high office which he held.

can party has lost an able ad

Whereas, 1t has pleased tn
Almighty to remove the Honor
able Solomon Luna, who fc
many years by his wisdor
guided the. destinies of the Re
publican party in the county
Valencia, and indeed, who's
good influences were felt no les

he was nearer and dearer by reason OF
his kindly touch and constant presence,
and in this hour of their affliction we
extend to them our sincerest sympathy
and coincidence, assuring them that we
share in their grief and are bowed with
the sorrow that weighs upon them and

Instructions for the Average

Pierre, S. D., Aug. Gas the new
law in regard what shall be upon the
ballots for constitutional amendments,
and referred laws, has cut the statements
down to point where it will be hard
for the average voter to know just what
he is voting upon. The secretary OF
state in arranging the sample ballots
has given each proposition a number,
and all of the propositions will be placed
upon the ballot under the same number
as in the sample, and if any voter cares
to vote upon any particular proposition
if he familarizes himself with the mum

state board of control of three members
for the management of all the different
