SEUGMAN HERO OF HARD
WON FIGHT
Hard-headed Business Man Uses
Hard-IIeaded Business Tactics
With Eminent Success

] Last summer when the Democrat
ic leaders of the state were milling
around trying to find suitable
man to run for governor of New
Mexico and finding that the more
they milled the more confused and
up in the air they were, there was
occasionally heard a suggestion that
if be could be induced TO make the
race Arthur Seligman. of Santa Fc.
would be an ideal candidate and if
elected would make an ideal COVER
lnor.
The suggestion, however, never
got very far-in fact it was never
anything more than suggestion.
Mr.. Seligman was not in any sense
a candidate and mo- organized move
ment IN his interest was ever in
stitutcd. Furthermore while wide
ly and favorably known among bus
mess men all over the state. his
political fame was almost entirely
local to Santa Fe and the adjacent
country, and such participation as
he had had in statewide politics was
too far in the past and of too in
CONSPICUOUS a nature TO lend any
considerable impetus to a Seligman
candidacy for governor. And so.
while everybody admitted that the
Santa Fee man would make an excel
lent governor. the consensus of
opinion was that he was shy on
availability as candidate and the
matter of his nomination was not
given any very serious consideration
IL Is not known whether Mr.. Selig-
man has the gHbernatorial bee i'm
his bonnet or not, or whether he
has his eye ON any political office in
the future, but it is safe To say that
with the record of party service he
has made in the last three months
II there We're nominations TO be
distributed at this time hc could
Just about haze his pick. For Ar
thur Seligman today is the democrat
lc hero. He has accomplished what
few, if any, besides himself, believ-
ed possible. He has shown himself
to be what the democratic party of
New Mexico has needed sorely for
many years and has not had-a pol
itical strategist of the highest or
der
Candid democrats will admit, now
that it is all over, that when the
state convention in Santa Fe had
adjourned last August and they had
had time to think the matter over
in cold blood, they didn't see much |
chance to elect but one man on
their ticket, and that was a. A. Jones |
for senator. II was not that the
rest of the ticket was strong one

TO RATIFY PRIMARY.
Arkansas Democratic Committee
 Meets on May 31.

Little Rock, Ark, May 10.-The Democratic state convention will meet in Little Rock on May.31 to ratify the action of the recent primaries, select a state central committee, adopt a platform and select the time and place for the primaries to be held Tn 1918. The convention will also select alter nate delegates to the national conven- ton, the delegates having been chosen in the primaries held March 20. It IS very likely that contest will take place in the convent.on over the pro position to instruct the delegates for vice president. Gov. Major of Mis- souri has friends who are actively at work in his interest, but 1t Is be- lieved that Vice President Marshall will receive the endorsement of the convention if the delegates are in structed. Many delegates are op- posed to interfering at all on the vice presidency question, leaving the dele gates free to use their own judgment after they arrive at st. Louis. It Is practically certain that the conven- tion will go on record in opposition to the plan inaugurated by the Demo- cratic state central committee to have delegates to the national convention elected at the time nominees for off ices are selected.
 A number of prominent Democrats visiting Little Rock recently said they were in favor of delegates to national conventions being selected by the state convention, as has been done in Arkansas since the Democratic party was organized, with the exception of primaries held last month.
 President Wilson will receive un- animous indorsement for renomina- ton.
 J. D. Head, the well known TeXar- kama attorney, will be permanent chairman of the state convention and U. V. Walker, the ver-tongued ora tor from Northwest Arkansas, will place Dr. C. H. Brough in nomination for governor.

PHARMACISTS IN SESSION.

Little Rock, Ark, May 10-The Arkansas Association of Pharmacists opened its annual session in Little Rock today. The features of the ses- sion were addresses py Grover C. Morris of Little Rock and Frank Schachleiter of Fort Smith. Mr Nor ris deplored the tendency of drug store owners to supplement their re- venues by the installation of lunch counters and delicatessen departments as a Towering of the standards of the profession" and urged active en- dorsement, which the convention af- terwards gave, of the Stevens price maintenance act, now pending m Congress, as a remedy for conditions which he said have driven the drug gists to such methods.
 The subject of MT. Schachleiter's talk was the Harrison antinarcotic act, urging more rigid enforcement of the law. The convention adopted a resolution indorsing MT. Schachlei- ter's position.

SCHOOL TAX OPPOSED.
Arkansans Protest Amendment Pro-
 posing Increase.

Little Rock, Ark, May 10.-From present prospects the proposed 12- mill constitutional amendment for school purposes will have a very rocky time. The object of the amend ment is to permit local school districts to vote a limit of l2 mills instead of seven, as at present.
 Prominent citizens residing in all sections of the state are vigorously protesting against the adoption of the amendment, claiming that the people are entitled to relief instead of burdening them with more taxes. The question of taxation has been agitat- ed in Arkansas during the past few years to such an extent that almost every candidate for office who has advocated lower taxes has met with overwhelming defeat. Notably was this the case when Gov. George w. Donaghey staked his gubernatorial election on the famous Turner-Jacob- son revenue bill, suffering defeat by Senator Joe T. Robinson by 10000 majority.

POTASH MAKING POSSIBLE
 IN IRON PRODUCTION
A RevolutiOnizing Suggestion in Con- nection With Iron Making and
 Potash as By-PrOduct.

Baltimore, Md, May 11.-Accord- | ing to an article in this weeks issue
 of the Manufacturers Record Dy Charles Catlett, an eminent chemist and geologist, with long experience as an expert for many of the great steel corporations of the country, including the old Carnegie Steel Co.,, and of later years, the United States Steel Corporation, potash as a by-product in ironmaking is now feasible to an extent which will greatly lessen the cost or iron production, and make available a supply of potash which lean be increased to meet the fullest needs of the country, making us en- tirely independent of Germany.
 Mir. Catlett goes back in his inves- tigation to Sir Lowthian Bells monu- mental work on the chemical phe- Inomena of iron smelting, and shows that Sir Lowthian called attention to the presence of potash in some iron ores and discussed the formation of potassium cyanide in the furnace and it's influence on iron smelting. Strange to say, Sir Lowthan Bells investiga- tions and report on the matter seem Ito have been entirely overlooked or ignored. But investigations made by Mr. Catlett show the feasibility of saving the potash in ores wherever it is found and securing as a by-pro- duct potassium cyanide, which at present prices would exceed in value the total value of the pig-iron pro- duced.
 Taking as an illustration of what may be done, certain iron ores in Ala bama which carry large percentage of potash, he states that even at prices prevailing before the war, the potassium cyanide by-product in fur naces operating on those ores would be equal in value to S24 per ton for every ton of iron made. Of course, on the basis of present prices of pot dSll, tiiC ISuiCS NOulu DS CiAiSS UT four times as large, but using the ante-bellum prices of poatsh, Mir Catlett says ''the possible values are startling and fully jus,ify the earnest consideration of all furnace opera tors"
 Mr. Catlett takes the ground that where ores such as these potash bearing ores are used, more than six tons of potassium cyanide can be saved as a by-product for every 100 tons of iron produced. On other gen eral run of ores there is a possible saving of from S1 to $2 ton, or an aggregate saving in our iron produc- tion that may run from $40,000,000 to $50 ,000000 year in the cost of the Iiron output of the country. 1t is now possible, under the utilization of this system. which is open to the public, for us to become independent of Ger many for poasth and increase our supply to a sufficient extent to meet our expanding needs for fertilizers and other uses.
