Oyster Bay, N. Y.-Colonel Roosevelt
is on the trail Of malignant malefac-

intrepid woodsmen who, unknown to
him, sawed down large sassafras tree
on the colonel's estate, Sycamore Hill.
Colonel Roosevelt offered $25 reward
for information leading to the "discov-
cry Of the individual who maliciously
and feloniously entered my land and
with a crosscut saw felled large and
valuable sassafras tree, which by its
fall partially destroyed an even more
valuable beech tree"

BURTON TO SPEAK
FOR REPUBLICANS
AT STATE FAIR
ORATOR WILL
DISCUSS PRESIDENT WILL
SONS FOREIGN AND MEX
ICAN POLICIES AND DEM.
OCRATIC BLUNDERs

The republican state committee
has just been advised from national
headquarters in New York City that
Senator Theodore Burton of Ohio
will be the first of the republicans of
national note to tour New Mexico in
behalf of the republican national and
state tickets. Senator Burton will
deliver his opening address at the
state fair grounds in Albuquerque
on Monday afternoon, September IS,
at 2:30 o'clock, being the first speak
er on the state fair management's
forum program. He will be followed
later in the afternoon by demo
Graf from another state, who will
probably be Senator Owen from Ok
fahoma.
Senator Burton is well known in
New Mexico. He toured this state
in the prcconvention campaign ard
made many friends at that time. It
is indicated that he is to be followed
by several of the biggest men in the
republican party and that among
these may be former President VIM.
H. Taft and Col. Theodore Roosevelt.
It is expected that Colonel Roose-
welt, if his schedule can be properly
arranged. will deliver two and posi-
bty three addresses in New Mexico
on his way through his western tour.
in behalf of Charles E. Hughes.
The state committee is making
careful preparation for the reception
and entertainment of Senator Bur-
ton. He will be met at Albuquerque
by committee from the headquar-
ters organization here who will go
over the genera, situation with him
and as to his speaking engagements
o'h"r than that at the fair. while a
large Albuquerque committee has
been arranged to look after recep-
tion and entertainment of the dis
visitor. A special invi-
tation has been sent ont from head
quarters here to all republican coun-
ty chairmen. state committeeman
and to republicans generally to at
tend the state fair Monday in order
to hear Senator Burton's address or
the issues of the campaign.

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES
PLEASED WITH TRIP


Taos, N. NJ, Sept. l9-Frank A
Hubbell, H. O. Bursum and B. c. Her.
nandez, heads of the republican state
ticket. completed an all-day driving
speaking trip through nearby pre-.
cincts today, and will leave tomor-
row morning for Guadalupe county
going thence to Albuquerque, where
they will spend several days at the
New Mexico state fair.
Taos county, one OF the strongest
of the republican counties of north
ern New Mexico. has turned gu,
large audiences for every meeting
and the campaigners express them
selves as being well satisfied with
their reception and with the county
situation
Last night, following band con-
cert and parade of the recently or
ganized republican club of Taos, be-
tween 700 and 800 people packed the
Taos courthouse to hear the speak
ers.
Mr. Hubbell i'll his address dwclt
upon the Importance Of the livestock
industry of the state, emphasizing
the need of the wool-gathering in
dustry for protection,
Mr.. Hernandez continues to attack
the administration on its Mexican
policy. Mr.. Bursum is sticking to
state issues.
From Taos the party leaves for
Las Vegas, which they expect to
reach Wednesday evening, and the
following morning will leave on a
speaking tour in Guadalupe county
They have been requested to hold a
meeting at Las Vegas while there,
but will probably not be able to meet
the desires of the club there, as they
will arrive late and leave early on
their regular itinerary, which brings
them back to that county later.
Sec Romero Joins Party
The latest report by phone from
the party received at 9 o'clock this
"wednesday evening is that the
candidates have reached Las Vegas
and Mr.. Hubbcll is giving a supper
there at the Castenada in order TO
meet a number Of the local commit
tecmen during their short stay.
About forty are in attendance.
Messers. H. o. Bursum and Secundno
Romero are the guests of honor
Mr. Romero will accompany the
party to Guadalupe county and later
to all precincts of San Miguel and
Mora counties. and assist in putting
on the campaign for record
maiorities in those counties for the
entire ticket and particularly for
Bursum, whose opponent is a politi-
cally unpopular candidate there.

ROSWELL MEET
OF DEMOCRATS
A BIG FROST
LEADING CANDIDATES RANT
AND SCOLD, BUT MAKE NO
GOOD ARGUMENT FOR
THEIR ELECTION
Special to State Record.

Special to State Record.
Roswell. N. NJ. Sept. 20. 1915.
The democrats pulled off meeting
here last night which proved a frost
F. c, De Baca, w. c. Mcdonald. and
NJ. A. Otero were all here. and they
were honored by house about half
full De Baca declared he was sorry
he was nominated and he looked and
acted it. Gilley say he was now so
pronounced a democrat he would
support any democrat no matter how
bad. against any republican no mat
ter how good, thus proving his de-
mocracy. Mac ranted about the aw-
full liars at the head of republican
affairs and had it in especially for
Bursum. Hubbell and Gillenwater
He said any republican who would
vote for Hubbell and Bursum after
hearing what he said about them was
not fit for citizenship in New Mex
leo. The federal and county office
holders and the nominees for office
him to the echo. but the att
dience was cold. If we can have an
other democratic meeting like this
one we can carry the county for the
republican ticket. The republicans
will have a rally tomorrow night,
when Judge Lindsey will address the
voters, and an enthusiastic meeting
is assured. ..

candidate for congress 1t has been
disclosed that the two democratic
politicians are not making many
speeches. They are working at an
effort to get some semblance OF
democratic organization started in
the two counties. The reports OF
their progress are calculated to cause
sorrow to the democratic managers,
for they have met with no luck at all
In Taos county the lines are solid
and there have been some important
acccssions since the democratic state
made its list OF unfortu-
nate selections, while in Rio Arriba
county Sunday, one of the old-time
democratic leaders, living at Park
View, announced that he was tired
working with the party of disorgan-
ization and no results and that he
was from now on republican. He
is said to have wide influence and
to be worth an additional hundred
votes to the already huge republican
majority in Rio Arriba county.
Probably the most serious situa-
ton the republicans have had to con-
front in republican counties has
been that Sandoval county, where
Benafiacio Montoya, the nominee
for state corporation commissioner
on the democratic ticket was thought
to have a considerable following In
the democratic convention democrats
joyfully told each other that Monto-
va. who is freighter by profession.
had following of 400 votes. 1t now
develops that this following. if it
ever existed, has dwindled down to a
mere score of near relatives and en-
ployes. The county it is now GER
tain, will deliver its customary re-
publican majority for the whole state
ticket
While some further efforts may be
made among democrats to stir up
trouble in republican county conven-
tions, the miserable failure of the
five big fusion schemes on which
they based their brightest hopes has
put an end to any hope for results
from that method and it is said the
have determined to re-
turn to work among their own peo-
pie, in effort to save something out
Of the wreck of the democratic par
ty in southern New Mexico and to
try to heal the bitter differences
which have ripped the Pecos Valley
democratic stronghold asunder.
