DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
MAKING SLOW PROGRESS

The Democratic National conven-
tion which has been in session all
the week in San Francisco, is at the
time of going to press, this friday
afternoon in heated and emphatic de-
platform, brought in by William
Jennings Bryan for the "drys" and
Burke Cochran, for the ''wets." The
platform as reported by the majori-
ty made no mention of the issue.
The prospects are that it will be
late tonight before this and other
platform differences are fought out,
and that the balloting on the four
teen candidates placed in nomina-
ton for the presidential. selection
yesterday will not be started until
tomorrow.
The convention made rapid pro-
gress the first two days when it com
pleted its organization, heard the
keynote speeches OF Temporary
Chairman Cummings and Permanent
Chairman Robinson, and put its plat
form committee to work. Since that
time the delegates have been killing
time waiting for the report of the
platform committee which has been
the scene OF hot contests from the
time of its first meeting up to the
time of its majority report and sew
eral minority reports now being dis
cussed by the whole convention.
On Thursday the nominating spec
ches were made while the conven-
ton was waiting" so that every
= ,,, I:,aee 10 SnDp he
balloting as soon as the platform
in thrashed out.
Up to tonight there is no change
in the status of the leading candi-
dates which seem to rank, in the
order OF their popularity about as
follows:
McAdoo, Cummings. Palmer, Cox.
Edwards, Hitchcock, with not much
strength for the others, excepting as
dark horse possibilities.

BIG IRRIGATION BENEFIT
IN OIL LEASING BILL

Washington June O-Tens OF mil
lions Of dollars annually will be pro-
yided for irrigation purposes through
the fundamentally of the oil leas-
ing bill enacted by the present re-
publican congress, according to 4
statement by Representative Frank
w. Mondeil, Of Wyoming, majority
leader of the House. He says:
"The oil and coal land leasing act
not only safeguards the general pub
lie interest in these fuel and power
resources. 1t not only promises a
large increase, with a consequent
reduction of prices, in the supply
of gasoline, but is Of particular in

More than $s0OOO of royalties COL
iected in anticipation of this legis-
iation is now on hand and will be
available within the next few months
for expenditure under the national
reclamation act for the irrigation
and development of arid and SEMI
arid lands. While it is impossible
at this time to accurately estimate
the annual income from these sour
ces for irrigation develop n
through and under the national re-
clamation law, It may be safely and
conservatively stated that it will
amount to several millions Of dollars
annually. and eventually to tens of
millions.

GOV. MACEE PASSES BUCK

Governor Larrazolo must have in
spired the following. We know Of
no one connected with the Santa
Fe New Mexican with sufficient
political acumen to have thought of
it. It's purpose is perfectly appar-
ent-an attempt to supply a motive
other than the one given BY
the Journal for its attitude on
the question of the removal of the
Regents of the Agricultural college !:
A well-defined rumor made its ap-
pearance in Santa Fe today to the
effect that Carl Magea the hew
owner of the Albuquerque Morning
Journal, has in view a candidacy for
the republican nomination for gov
ernor Of New Mexico. Mr.. .Magee
has visited various parts Of the state
recently and made speeches on a
number of occasions which have
caused a most favorable impress
sion. The hat of an editor in the
Republican ring this fall would add
unique interest to the political situ-
alton. Mr.. Magee has the reputa-
tion of being a live one" in poll
tics.
We are awfully obliged for the
compliment but the mess so smart
a man as the present Governor has
made of the office doesn't inspire
in our fran mind to at
tempt to succeed him. We are not
yet ready to be laid away in this
grave of political regulations.
Having recently had a passage or
two at arms with our friend, the
Hon. Tom Hughes, we take occa-
sion to get even with him by pas
sing the suggested honor on to him.
We always like to murder our COM
petitors in a perfectly artistic and
