Spanish-American and the Pecos val
ley delegates is a hard one to beat
1t was with matters In this shap,
I when the leaders saw that de BaCa 5
nomination was ncvitable-that with
| majority of the convention 1t was
de Raca or bust-that they realized
that something had to be done and
II was then that Governor Mcdonald
was drawn into the combination, For
whatever else may be said of the gov
ernor. he is male and hearty and fully
able to take care of himself i'm any

up
How II Works out.
As a result of this combination, il

in response to Mr. Bursum's attack on
his administration-on the contrary
that he expects to cOupter with a wal
lOp on the jaw.

ticket-they claim that they will put
it through straight-but they realize
