GOVERNMENT TO SEE
RECRUITS ARE PAID.

Recruits who went to Columbus to
enter the National Guard and who
we're rejected, or who met delays be-.
fore being mustered in, are to be re-
imbursed for their outlay in transpor-
tation and for loss Of time.
Governor Mcdonald expects to get
the pay, which amounts to thousands
Of dollars, from the federal govern
ment, because 1t was to serve this
government the young men rocked
from all parts of New Mexico to the
recruiting station in Columbus, on the
border. But should the government
fail to make the payment within a req
sonable time, the governor will see
that payment is made as he make the
necessary financial arrangements ow-
that payment is made. He can make
by the First National Bank Of San
Ia Fe.
There has been a good deal of mis-
understanding about this matter, it is
said. All Of the men who were in the
Guard when the president called for
troops to go to the border, have been
paid, whether they were rejected or
not by the medical examiners. But It
is the recruits who enlisted after May
IL and were rejected who have been
awaiting a refund for the amount they
spent in travelling home. There are
also, men who enlisted after May II
who were delayed in getting mustered
into the federal service. They, too,
are to be paid for the time they spent
waiting the opportunity to serve the
government.

For the federal court here Judge
Robert E. Lewis, of the United States
district court for Colorado, has hand
ed down an order giving the federal
government immediate right-of-way
across the Santa Fe railroad tracks
and property in Eddy county, in order
that the government may construct
protection for the railroad property
against possible damage from the
Carlsbad irrigation project, where the
reclamation service is building addi-

The order for r~ight-of-way is made
pending an appraisement Of the prem

the three a~ppraising commissioners
appointed by Judge Lewis. These
commissioners are Bryant Williams, H.

the success of this movement of hide

success, has been due largely to the
unseafish and untiring efforts and ac-

hereby tender to him our sincerest
thanks and expressions of ~apprecia-

Speech BY James w. Norment
The climax Of the days activities

In a fusion convention. The band

Mr.. Davies presented James W..

El Nuevo mexicano., 1916-09-21

The fusion ticket appearing above was named by the Democrats and
Independent, or Insurgent, Republicans of Santa Fe county and accepted
by reclamation at 81 minutes past 6 o'clock yesterday evening in the
Hall Of Representatives which was filled with delegates who scheered
wildly as the names were read.
The naming of this ticket was tire elimination OF an aHday session
Of two conventions meeting separately in the capitol the Democrats pick
ing an assessor, county clerk, probate Judge surveyor one representative
mr. Lucero), and one county commissioner from District No ]. The
Democrats also had the privilege of naming a senator and district attorney
but these will named later, the senator by the Democratic county central
committee after conference with the leaders, and the district attorney by a
district convention. The Independent Republicans named the other condt
dates on the ticket HM H#a
The fusion ticket named last evening and now presented TO rthe con-
sderaton of the voters Of Santa Fe county on November q is the result
of a Republican revolt that has been smouldering for months, and that
broke into an active movement following the Republican county conven-
ton here August 81 At that convention the county gang rode rough
shods over the minority, and dictated all nominations. 3
The feeling against this action was intense, in view Of the promises
the Ems had made not to seek reelection. This applied particularly
to Charles {. Closson, sheriff, and m. A. Ortiz county clerk, who promised
not to run again for the Offices they have held for the past five years,
the Independents declare.
The ticket thus named by a fusion of Democrats and Independent
Republicans is Of particular interest to Santa Feans, as half Of the
places on it are filled by residents of Santa Fe. All of the candidates
are well known in the city and coun ty I,

CERTIFICATES SHOULD
BE FILED IN ALL
COUNTIES IN DISTRICT
ATTORNEY GENERAL GIVES oPIN-
ION AS TO PROCEDURE or CAN.
DlDATEs FbR DISTRICT ATToR.
NEY

Attorney General Franz w. Clan
cy today sent a letter to Captain w.
II. Clearwater, chairman Of the Re-
publican state central committee, in
regard to the construction of the stat
ute governing nomination certificates
of candidates for district attorney. MI.
Clancy is of the opinion that such
certificates should be filed with the
county clerk Of each county within
the judicial district where the nomi-
nee is a candidate. Mr.. Clancy's opin-
ion, which is of unusual interest in
view OF the present political cam
paign, is as follows:
September 16, 1916.
Captain W. H. Clearwater,
Chairman, Republican State
Central COMMITTEES,
Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Dear Sir:
E ! have just received your letter oil
even date herewith, enclosing another
from H. B. Holt, as to which you ask
me whether his construction OF q stat.
ute is considered to be correct, and to
advise you so that you may forward
my letter to him.
Mr.. Holt says, referring to nomina-
tons of candidates for district attor-
ney, that as he CONSTITUTES the law, the
provisions of Section 1895 OF the COdi-
fication of statutes, controls and gov
erns the matter Of nomination certifi-
Gates and that, therefore, it seems to
him that a proper compliance with
those provisions requires that such
certificates should be filed with the
county clerk Of each county within the
judicial district where the nominee
is a candidate.
That section Of the statutes only re-
fers to the filing Of certificates Of the
names of candidates nominated at q
convention with the county clerk of
the county in which such convention
Is held" but Section 1898 clearly re-
ates a necessity for the filing Of such
certificates in the office Of the county
clerk Of each county in which the can
didates are to be voted for, because it
makes it the duty Of the county clerk
to cause to be printed in the appro-
pirate ballot, the name OF every candt-
date whose name has been certified
to or filed with him in the manner
provided for in the statute. Each
clerk ought to have in his office such
a certificate as a foundation for the
proper printing of the ballots. 1t is
clear, therefore, that that which Mr..
Holt recommends is the proper course
to pursue.
This is equally applicable to legis-
Iative candidates from districts which
include more than one county, and
would also be applicable to candidates
for the position OF district judge at an
election where such judges are to be
elected.
] return Mr.. Hollis letter herewith,
Very truly yours,
FRANK w. CLANCY,
Attorney General.

Suit for $500 damages for personal
injuries was instituted in federal
court here today by n. It. HRolton, Of
Curry county, against John y. James.
The case was transferred from the
district court Of Curry county as the
defendant is a resident Of the state Of
Texas.
Holton, In his complaint, charges
that James ran him down in his auto.
mobile, crashing into his spring
wagon, throwing him under the heels
of his own horse and permanently dis
abling his right arm and shoulder and
permanently ihjuring his spinal col
The injuries were received, says the
plaintiff, on the night OF June II, this
year, when he was driving from Tex
leo to Clovis. He alleges he saw no
auto approaching and drew his team
up at the side OF the road to let it
pass. He claims the auto carried no
lights except a dim lantern hung on
the radiator.
Although there was plenty Of room
for the autoist, James, to pass, Holton
asserts that the heavy a crashed
into his eduipaee with the unhappy re-
suits indicated. He charges the de-
PENDANT with not exercising due care.
Papers in the case were filed with

The total receipts from the sales

According to those who have

Misrepresentation exists among tour

Association OF New Mexico. Many
persons. 1t appears, believe 1t neces-

to that place, to secure permits to

without loss Of time in securing per.

MY Dear Mr.. Douglass:
Your letter Of July 9, 1915, address
ed to the secretary Of the interior,
with reference to the granting Of per
mits to visit the Puye ruins in New
Mexico, and the attached letter to the
Bond and Nbbl company, OF Espanola,
were duly referred to this office and
thereafter a report obtained from the
superintendent at Albuquerque.

ton a copy Of a letter which have
Just written to the Bond and Nohl
company showing that permits can be
readily procured to visit these ruins
from persons on the grounds and that
there is no necessity for writing to
Albuquerque for them.
Very truly yours,

Gentlemen:
This office Is in receipt, by refer
ence Of VIM. B. Douglass, of your let
ter OF July 4 wherein you say that
permission to visit the Puye cliff
dwellings must be obtained from some
one in albuquerque, which results In
annoyance, expense and loss of time
to tourists who come to Espanola IN
route to this prehistoric site.
After the receipt of the aforesaid
letter, the office took the matter UP
with the superintendent at AbuQuer-
que, who advises that John d.
Rhoades. farmer at Santa Clara, ana
Oliver J.. Shepardson, forest guard
have written instructions to grant psf
mits to those desiring to visit the
Puye ruins. 1t is understood that the
farmers headquarters are less than q
mile out of' the direst route of tourists
to Puye. This being the case, 1t does
not seem that there should be any
serious delay in procuring the neces-
sary permit. It is presumed that you
were not aware OF the provisions that
had been mdae to cover this matter
at the time Of writing; however, II
there is anything further that you
would care to submit for our consid-
GRAFTON, we should be glad to hear
from you.
Very truly yours,

STRUGGLE WITH OLD LINE
PROBLEM +

$3.50 UttH VII LINE
PROBLEM
Alonzo E. Compton, assistant super.
visor of surveys in the surveyor gen.
erals department, left this morning
over the Denver & Rio Grande for the
37th parallel of latitude north, where
he will meet Supervisor Frank M.
Johnson and the two of them will
wrestle with the problem of whether
certain lands are in New Mexico or
Colorado.
1t is the old problem Of the bound.
airy line between the two states.
Many people will recall that the first
survey Of the line between the two
states was called the Darling sur
vey. Then a man named Carpenter
was detailed by the government to
tear down all the Darling markers and
make a new survey. This he did, his
interstate line RAINING a mile or so
north Of the old Darling line. It put
the hamlet Of Edith, for instance, on
the New Mexico side instead Of sn
Colorado.
The department of the interior
adopted the Carpenter survey. How
ever a bill passed by congress maxi
ing it the legal, final word in the
question was vetoed gy President
Roosevelt, so the controversy has
never been finally settled.
