One of the most important re-
quirements of the new home
stead law, whereby a claimant

acres of land rot contiguous to
his original entry, is that the
applicant has first submitted
final proof on his original entry.
This should be remembered by

POLITICS IN THE STATE

III. o. Bursum, for governor
Frank Hubbell, for U. S. Senator" "
The above is the lineup most
likely to be adopted by the Re
publicans at their convention at
Santa Fe on August 23d. Com
piled reports from all over the
state are strongly in favor of
H. o. Bursum for governor and
Frank Huhbell as candidate for
the United States senate. That
both will be nominated on the
first ballot is the belief of many.
Although Secundino Romero
may run strong he will have to
do some tall sprinting to overcome
the already 140 pledged votes for
MIR. Bursum on the first ballot.
The summary of the two more
important candidates to be nomin-
ated will surely resolve itself into
Bursum-Hubbell. Both are quail
fed for the positions and each
will be winner in the state cleo
tion.
"W. D. Murray for state treas
urer." This will be the nomina-
tion presented by the Grant coun-
ty delegation. Throughout the
state the name of w. d. Murray
for state treasurer is being met
with favor, and he will doubtless
be the Republican nominee foI
the position. Mr.. Murray is the
logical candidate. He is a mar
fit for the office and is a man who
can win.
The name of Willim B. Wal
ton, of Grant county, for Demo
cratic candidate for congress, il
another important political pros
pect that is of interest to this
section. The Democratic leader
throughout the state are advocat
ing our own state senator for con
gress. He is smiled upon by
thousands of admiring constitu
ents and is a safe bet for the Dem
ocratic congressional nomination

POLITICAL OUTLOOK IN COUNTY AND
in STATE Is SHAPING INTO FORM
w. ID. MURRAY FOR STATE TREASURER. BURSUN- -HUBBELI
SURE TO CARRY. COUNTY ASPIRANTS IN THE FIELD
County Politics

Political activity in Grant coun-
ty is gradually rounding itself in
to shape. The race is announced
and most of the contestants are
off. Most of the activity is in the
Democratic circles, where there
are two or more applicants for ev-
cry county office. On Saturday,
August 10, the Democratic primar-
les will be held throughout the
county and on Saturday, August
26, the delegates chosen will as
semble for the county convention
in Silver City.
The Republicans held their first
convention on the 18th and elected
six delegates to attend the state
convention which is to be held in
Santa Fe, N. NJ, on August 23d
1t is likely that the Republican
county convention will be held at
Silver City on September I'd.
Who's Out
For the office of Sheriff the
Democratic aspirants are Herbert
j! rMcGrath, of Lordsburg, the
present incumbent. and Wayne W..
Whitehill, of Tyrone, N. M. There
are rumors of a dark horse" but
all indications point to the NOM
ination of Mr.. McGrath, who is
receiving the support of all south
ern Grant county, and who is said
to also have sanction of the larger
mining interests in northern Grant
county. Mr.. Whitehill is making
strong run for the nomination
and feels confident of his ultimate
success. The indicator, however,
points directly to Mr.. McGrath.
Dean Alexander for the nomina-
tion of county treasurer on the
Democratic ticket is a foregone
conclusion. Mr.. Alexander was
first in the field for the nomination
and has the hearty support of all
the county Democratic leaders.
Mr.. Alexander has been dep
uty in the office of the county
treasurer for a number of years
and is especially qualified to make
strong candidate for the Demo
cratic county ticket. He is op-
posed for the nomination by Theo-
dore w. Carter, a former Grant
county mining man.
B. B. Ownby of Lordsburg ano
Pierce Rice of Separ, are the two
candidates for the nomination OF
county commissioner of the third
district. G.. M. Doolittle has an
nounced himself as candidate from
the second district and Van 7
Manville from the first district.
For the nomination of County
Clerk two strong candidates are
in the field: E. B. Venable, pres
ent incumbent, and T. w. Holland
former member of the state legis'
lature from Grant county. Both
men are making a hard race fol
the nomination and indications are
that whichever way the contest
goes the race will be close.
Miss Isabel Eckles for county
school superintendent, Robert H
Boulware for county assessor, anc
C. E. johnson for surveyor, are
the other present Demcratic as
pirants for county Offices.

Government May
Take Over Mines
BRITISH WANT TO CONTROL THE
.f1oisTR,surioa or COAL Tosf's
NEUTRAL SHIPPING.

LONDON, Oct. 23.-The government
is proposing to take over control Of the
coal industry Of Great Britain in the
near future, the main purpose Of the
scheme of naturalization being to
give certain power Of control over
the neutral shipping which Goals at
British ports. Coal owners will be
allowed to take their present profits
II the scheme goes through, but the
government will control the distribu-
ton Of coal for home consumption, for
export and for shipping. For some
time past the government has used its
authority over British shipping to d.
rect its courses most beneficial for the
nation, but neutral steam shipping.
though dependent on Britain for coal,
has not recognized q resulting obliga.
ton to this country.
The plan Is that II the government
owns the coal It will be In position to
stipulate the use the customer shall
make Of 1t and to require him to call
for his return cargo at specified ports.
In that way It is believed the whole of
the shipping in British ports may be
organized and directed.
