THE PROPHET AGAIN

Every campaign brings out a prophet who
claims to be able to pull aside the yelled cur
tain and look into the beyond. This year is
not without the customary seer. He is DR..
William Hanna Thompson and he tells how
he has never failed to tell what was going
to be correctly.
This marvellous oracle says that Wilson
will be reelected and that he will be succeeded
by Henry Ford who will serve longer than
any previous president; that the present war
will be over September 9TH, 1910; that the
United States will have war three years from
now with Japan, with England as Japan's al
ly, and that we will lick them both.
All this would be very interesting and to
Republicans very terrifying were it not for
the TACT that these sccrs are wont to make
in the way they see things and that
nine times ont Of ten they slip a cog in their
pro4no,ticationary machinery.

fighting the battle, the standard bearers Of the
Republicans being Roosevelt and Fairbanks

REDFIELD AGAIN

As lar IS the little controversy between
Candidate Hughes and Secretary Redficld IS
Concerned. ANYTHING that the latter may say
will be regarded with very little confidence

Rcdfield is too well remembered as the man
who was representing the government at the
investigation of the Fastland disaster and
his position at that time won for him the dis
regard and the contempt of the reading men

Added to this. in the present difierer Cos
that exist between Hughes and Redfield, the
denial of the cabinet minister was so COM
pletely met by the letter of Dana Durand,
that he was left without standing room in the
arena of political discussion.

A LITTLE INCONSISTENT

Just after the nomination Of Judge Hughe,
for president on the Republican ticket, the
Democrats Of the country set ZIP a howl
against the dragging OF the crmine into
politics and used this as an argument why
the people of the United States should refuse
70 elect Hughes.
He was a judge and therefore should not
be considered for any position that had the
faint of politics about it.
There are arguments in favor Of choosing
the best men for public positions whether they
have been Judges or what. but the fun of the
present condition is in the usual consistency
of Democratic professions and performances
In New York there is demand on the part
of the plain and simple followers of Demo-
crazy for the nomination of Judge Scaburg, of

sembled in Santa Fe during this
month, the first one less than one
weeks distant.
1t is conceivable that the Progress
sives might endorse Judge Roberts.
NOR tina nthat it is even probable
taht they might. He is acceptable
to them, and, barring any deal that
might be made between the Progress
sives and the Democrats, there
would be no objection on the part
of the former to endorsing him. It
is said by those in positio nto know
that if the Republicans nominate
Holm o. Bursum of Socorro for gov
ernor and Frank A. Hubbell, of Al
buquerque, for United States sena-
tor, it is practically certain that the
Progressives will combnei forces
with democrats and help to elect
the entire Democratic state ticket,
regardless of the desire OF the Pro-
gressives TO elect Hughes to the
presidency, and to give him as
much help as possible, in both the
branches OF congress.

ernor from 1889 until 1893. Having
been so prominently identified with
the executive and judicial branches
OF New Mexico, his opinions are cX-
pected to carry much weight.
He has issued a signed statement
set forth. Without any reservation
in which his views on the subject are
whatever. he declares in favor Of
chief Justice Clarence ]. Roberts who
is the member whose term expires
this year and who is a candidate Tor

HELD FOR TRAIN ROBBERY
Couple Arrested Near Grand RAPIDS

Grand Rapids-In raid on a little
house in the outskirts of Grand Rap
ids three United States postal inspec-
tors took into custody a man and a
woman calling themselves Mr.. and
Mrs. John Evans, and recovered, it is
said, $4,000 in cash and $4,000 in Sc
curities which they say is a part of
the $15O,000 obtained by four robbers
when they held UP a train near Stan
ton, w. Va, six months ago. One
man, and possibly two, who have been
living with the Evanses, eluded the
federal officers, and in their flight
they carried with them a travelling
bag in which, the federal inspectors
now believe, was the rest of the
money and securities taken in the
robbery.
