MILLER-ESTABROOK AND
GILBERT TO SPEAK HERE

Hon. Henry B. Estabrook, of New
York but largely interested and well
known in the northwest and one OF
the finest orators in the United
States, is in the state in the interest
OF Mr.. Hughes candidacy for presi-
dent and will speak in Las Vegas
tonight and in Albuquerque to-mor-
row night.
Congressman Clarence B. Miller,
of Minnesota, travelling under the
auspices OF the National Congress
sional Committee, spoke in Ration
last night and will also speak in
Las Vegas tonight. From there he
goes to Gallup where he will speak
Saturday night and pass on into
Arizona where he also has several
speaking dates.
General Newton w. Gilbert, who
was governor general of the Philli-
pine Islands in 1912 and 1913, will
be in Silver city and speak there
on Friday Or Saturday evening.
Congressman Miller will speak at

Benigno c. Hernandez candidate for
congress, devoted the greater part
of his address to the discussion OF
national questions, dwelling at some
length upon the administration

Taos country.
Governor and Mrs. L. B. Prince
will leave today for Flushing, Long
Island. The altitude OF Santa Fe is
too high for Mrs. Prince, who finds
it impossible to remain here for
more than a couple OF months at a
time. Governor Prince will return
in a week or SO and will probably
take an active part in the latter
end OF the campaign on the Rcpub-
lican side. A Jorge number of his
friends in Rio Arriba county are
discussing him for the state senator
ship from that county. The extern
sive general, judicial and legislative
experience Of the governor gives him
splendid equipment for the position
and Rio Arriba county will make
no mistake if the honor Is confer
red upon him.

Gallup, n. NJ, Oct. 2,-Iht Re
publican meeting held here this
evening was llrA.ly attended and
one OF the most enthusiastic that
has yet greeted the Republican can
didates. Between 500 and 600 heard
the speaking and many other could
not find room in the large hall.
H. o. Bursum, candidate for gov
ernor, was warmly received by all
Republicans and not few DEM
ocrats. who do not propose to stand
for the McDona,d-de Baca-Otero

Frank A. Hubbell and J. II. Wag-
ner also spoke and their remarks
and the candidates themselves were
warmly received.
Mckinley county will roll up the
largest Republican majority ever
given in the history OF the county.
A few local Democrats are trying
hard to stem the tide but are re
ceivinG very little assistance from
their state committee and campaign
ers and it is an open question whc-
ther the Democratic candidates

Albuquerque, n. NJ, Oct. 5.-Guada
lupe county was not TO be outdone hs
other countiss in the matter OF inter
est shown by its citizens in the ad
dresses made by the members OF the
Republican campaign party, which has
closed the tour of that county. In ad
ditlon to. the candidates for the three
principal offices, II. 0. Bursum for
governor, Frank A. Hubbell for the
United States senate and Benigno c.
Hernandez for representative in con,

Vegas by Secundno Romero, who
sought the nomination for governor,
and .. A. LARA Zolo, who developed a
strong following III the convention Tor
the nomination for justice OF the SUI
preme court, though he declared 10
the end that he was no more than a
receptive candidate.
Whether the meetings were held in
the morning or afternoon, in the busy
part OF the harvest season, or pro
longed until 1:3g in the morning, the
voters were present in large numbers,
often accompanied by their wives, sis
ters and daughters, and they remained
careful listeners until the close of the
meeting. From Anton Chico on the
one side, clear over TO Fort Sumner in
the southeastern corner. the people
wanted to see the candidates and to
hear full expression OF the policies
and principles for which the candi-
dates are standing.
Romero Leader of Campaign Party.
The feature of the swing through
Guadalupe county which perhaps sur
prised many people-particular OF
the opposition-more than any other,
was the attitude of Secundino Romero,
who made a most vigorous campaign
for the nomination for governor. In
the state convention, held at Santa

down to the center of the auditorium,
directly in front of the platform. With
all the feeling that he could put into
voice and gesture, he declared that he
had no fault to find with the selection
of the convention, that Bursum re-
mained his good friend, and that he
would support the ticket faithfully
and earnestly. He had told me nearly
a month before that the ticket of the
convention would be his ticket, that
it would receive his whole support.
But Notwithstanding his published
interview, and his manly speech in the
convention, which also was given to
the press, there was a most persistent
effort made to convince the general

deliberately plunge the knife right
through the heart of the ticket.
Backs Ticket Strongly.
At every one of the six meetings
held in Guadalupe county he made
speeches in which he made a strong
plea for support of the Republican
ticket, national and state. His en-
dorsement OF Bursum was especially
powerful. Declaring that he was per-
fectly contented with the will OF the
convention, he declared that Bursum
is admirably fitted for the most i'm
portant duties Of governor, in that he
Is big hearted, level headed, OF the
strictest integrity and better informed
than any other man as to the needs
of the state. He also spoke In the
highest terms OF Frank A. Hubbell,
who, as one of the biggest business
men in the southwest, would ably rep
resent New Mexico in the senate, and
Of Benigno c. Hernandez, who has
been capable and alert in serving the
best interests of the people in the
lower house of congress.
However, he did not stop with an
endorsement of his own ticket. He
pointed out what he declared to be
glaring fault or weakness in e. C. de
Baca, who has been named by the
Democratic party for the work Of
chief executive.
"Mr. de Baca Is temperamentally
untitled for the work of the high Of
flee to which he aSpires,' declared Ro-
nero, as he spoke in Spanish to
the people. "He is vindictye and re-
vengeful to an alarming extent and is
too likely to resort to dangerous and
extreme methods when his anger is
aroused."
Romero's Amazing Charge.
Romero then related an incident
which he declared proved the unrelia-
bility and unfitness of de Baca. He
said that some years ago, in Las
Vegas, de Baca's father was a candi-
date on the Republican ticket. At
joint meeting which was held, Manuel
c. de Baca, brother Of the Democratic
nominee for governor, made speech
in which he asked for the support of
the Republican candidate. Romero
said this so infuriated E. c. de Baca
that he pulled his pistol and tried to
shoot his own brother. "A man who
will try to kill his own brother for no
other reason than that he had sup
ported their father, who sought office |
on another political ticket, certainly !
cannot be trusted to administer the (
affairs of this great state" Romero

WEEKLY REVIEW
 0F COTTON MARKET
Excited During the Week and Government Re-
 ports Led to Declines

New York, August 4-The cotton
 market has been extremely active and excited during the past week. Feeling that a very considerable falling off in condition had been discounted, led to
 moderate declines before the govern ment crop report was published last Tuesday, but private figures had not shown anything like the deterioration actually indicated by the official state ment.
 An immediate advance of from 30 to 37 points met considerable opposition as well as heavy realizing. Buying be- came still more active following the unfavorab1e weekly weather report on Wednesday, however, while bullish sen timent was also encouraged by large consumption figures, and prices estab- lished new high records during todays early trading with December contracts selling at 14.27c compared with 13.2Sc, the price ruling just before the publi- cation of Tuesdays crop figures, 13.02c, the low level of last month and 11.70c, the low level reached on the break of | last February.
 Almost as much attention was at tracted by the publication of figures l |indicat ting that the worlds consump- I tion of American cotton last season had aggregated 14,80O,0000 bales and that | there had been a reduction of about 1 100000 bales in the supplies carried 1 forward from the big crop year of 191 4, as by the government crop figures. Bulls naturally compared the July |25 crop indication of 12,916,000 bales, excluding linters, with the consump- 1 tion of the previous season, while the unsatisfactory character of the first weekly report to appear after the pub llication of the bureau, evidently aroused apprehensions that even small CT crop figures might be placed in cir culation before the first of September. Demand seemed to slacken above I14Ac for December contracts here to- day however, and a late break in the Liverpool market was attributed partly to favorable Egyptian crop accounts
 and the elimination of speculative short
 interest
 The scattered southern selling re-
 ported on the advance was more gen. orally attributed to realizing on long
 contracts than to hedging of remaining
 old crop or prospective new crop hold |ings, but reactionary sentiment at the
 end of the week was based largely upon
 an idea that present prices were high enough to stimulate the early new crop
 movement.

of the banks reported that these trans actions were entirely satisfactory.
 Mr. Rich thinks that it may be reason ably presumed that all the banks that are dissatisfied-some of them because Of the adjustment of the federal reserve district, some on account of par collec- ton of checks-are to be included in the list of those who object to the system, but as the objections they make have nothing to do with the reserve system as a banking mechanism the opinion ex- pressed by these objectors has little more significance than can be attached to a straw vote
 Thirty-three members and 243 nonmem- Der banks regard the rediscounting privi- lege as of no value, and yet the federal reserve system has for one of it's funda- mental principles the establishing of banks of rediscount for the purpose of offering support to the banking fabric of the country by providing a market for bank paper in times of emergency. The canvass made by MT. Sabin s in Mr. Rich's view, very significant on account of the imperfect understanding of the system.
 Nevertheless large proportion of the member banks are not only friendly to the system but many of them are be- coming enthusiastic over it. Some of the banks which have objected are managed by officers who have given only super flcial study to the new law and have taken little pains to familiarize them selves with the operation of the federal reserve banks.
 MT. Rich says that bankers should seek carefully to inform themselves of the mechanism of the federal reserve banks and the operation of the system. Bank ing opinion is necessarily and justfia bly conservative. Many bankers have become accustomed to the old system which was
 in operation for nearly 50 years and for that reason certain practices had become 50 firmly established as to be regarded as unwritten law. There is too much ten dency to compare the new system with the old for the sake of criticism MT. Rlch's experience as chairman of the re- serve bank at Minneapolis, whose in- fluence reaches far into the northwest leads him to believe that speedily criti- cism will end and that the objectors of today will become the friends of tomor- row. The federal reserve banks are still new. They have been in operation for a year and half and for that reason if seems unfair to criticize a system that has so far had no good opportunity to show what it can do in a crisis. The fed eral reserve system has been established so that it may be made possible to face and overcome crises; for instance. like the one in 1907. Another year in opera- tion may clearly demonstrate to the banks of the United States the advan- tages of which many bankers are now convinced.

By HOLLAND

New York, August 4-(Special) ) Charles H. Sabin, president of the largest of American trust institutions and one of the younger generation of bankers, is perhaps we'll informed respecting con- ditions in other lands as is any other American banker, with the exception, possibly, of J. P. Morgan. The address recently relivered by MT. Sabin, in which
 he predicted that other nations would after the close of the war be compelled to turn to the United States for commod- ities, thereby assuring continued heavy export trade, has been widely commented upon. The view has not been accepted by an of the leaders, for there has been apprehension that America would be made the dumping ground for foreign commodities after the war is ended. MT.

DECATUR

Decatur, August 4.-(Special) )-Capt. called mass meeting of the citizens
 of Decatur and New Decatur, to be held
 at the city hall in New Decatur on next
 Monday night at 8 o'clock, for the pur-
 pose of doing all that can be done to-
 wards getting the $20,00o,00o nitrate plant located at Muscle Shoals by the United States government.
 Sometime ago a bill passed both houses of the Congress of the United States authorizing the government to spend $20.00O.000 for the construction tion of the plant to President Wilson. That Muscle Shoals is the only logi- cal place in the entire United States for the location of nitrate plant of this magnitude is the opinion of all experts who have gone into the matter. It is probable that a large dye manu- factoring plant may be located in the Decaturs at an early date. In fact the company is partly formed and Jack F. Dillehay. we'll known druggist of New Decatur, is the secretary and treasurer of the company.
 George Lindsay of the Decaturs has filed suit in the Morgan county law and equity court for $500 damages against the Southern railroad.
 MT. Lindsay alleges that he had a round trip excursion ticket from Deca- tur to Chattanooga, Tenn. and that when he started to return home he was refused admittance to the train shed at Chattanooga on this ticket.
 Now that the Alabama court of ap- peals has just refused a rehearing in the T. J. Newsom murder case it IS not known just what step will be taken by Newsom.
 MT. Newsom was convicted of the killing of Hatchett, news dealer. sometime ago and given 10 years in the state penitentiary. At the time of the killing Newsom was justice of the peace and had been for sometime. Prior to the killing Newsom and Hatchett had been at outs, Newsom having con- victed Hatchett of a minor offense.
