DOWN TO BUSINESS

CONVENTION HALL. EAST LAS
VEGAS, N. M, Sept. 2.-The demo-
cratic state convention started to
move toward nominations with sud-
den speed when it convened at 8
o'clock tonight. The report of the
committee on credentials refusing TO
seat the contesting Santa Fe dalega-
tion was adopted without a dissent
ing voice and when the resolutions
committee reported it was not ready,
the advisory committee recommended
that the convention proceed with the
nomination of congressman, governor,
land commissioner, justice of supreme
court and land commissioner
The report was adopted without a
roll call and with only half dozen
dissenting votes.
Judge r. D. Lieb then proceeded to
place in nomination Congressman John
Morrow
The nominations were closed on
motion of Adolph Hill of Santa Te
county and the nomination made by
acclamation. Moro Guadalupe and
San Miguel counties which stood on
the contrary vote were ignored and
a committee named to escort Con-
gressman Morrow to the platform
T. w. Neal, mentioned as a can
didate for congress in the pre-con-
vention talk, then moved to take a
recess until 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
w. w. Nichols of Curry county
said there was a delegation Of Span
ish-American delegates out in con-
ference and then had been given to
understand that there would be no
nominations tonignt.
He said it was easy to nominated
a ticket but it would not BE- so easy
to elect the ticket if the Spanish
American people were ignored.
j. C. Gilber, chairman of the ad-
visory committee replied that Nichols
was present at the meeting when the
agreement was reached to proceed
with the nominations and he resented
the implication that anyone was be-
ing ignored.
L. N. Taylor of Clayton moved as
a substitute that committee be nam.
ed to confer with the Spanish
Americans meeting at the court house.
Pandemonium broke loose with sew
eral persons trying to speak and
with calls that a motion to adjourn
was not debatable.
AS the discussion continued, some
of the Spanish Americans mentioned
began to enter the hall.

ANOTHER ALTERCATIoN

CONVENTION HALL, EAST LAS
VEGAS, N. M, Sept. 2.-Tomas Sc
gura, deputy sheriff under Lorenzo
Delgado, candidate for land commits
sioner got the floor and refusing TO
yield it began speaking, in behalf of
Delgado. He said Delgado had never
asked anything of the democrats but
the democrats had endorsed him for
land commissioner. He spoke rapidly
and the most of his remarks could
not be heard by many in the hall.
Severe Lucero followed. Segura say
ing Delgado and his Independent re-
publican followers were the main
factors in the overthrow Of the re-
publicans two years ago in San Miguel
county He said Delgado was de-
manding nothing now but was en-
dorsed by the democrats of San
Miguel.
The chairman made no attempt to
put the motion to recess while the
two men were speaking When Lu-
cero finished w. B. Walton moved as
substitute motion to recess that the
convention hear Congressman Nor
row. The motion carried.
A rumor ran through the conven-
tion hall that Delgado's followers
would demand his nomination or bolt
the convention.

to support whom he desired and no
one had a right to ask him such a
question"
When Harry Patton, chairman of
the credentials committee, attempted
to smoothe the matter over by asking
if he would say he would support
the ticket Cleary retorted that no
living man had rigth to dictate TO
him. The chairman answered he was
not attempting to dictate but merely
seeking information to secure party
harmony. Cleary replied heatedly as
he started to withdraw from the
room that he had always been a
democrat and had always supported
the democratic ticket"
