1 1 EDITORIAL I
The Colfax County Stockman, of
Springer, says: "It seems lhat the
opposition to Andrews is losing
ground. Many Republicans through
out the Territory look upon the can
didacy of Spiess and Mann as two
huge jokes."
Well, if it is a joke, it is apt to be
a good one, and who ever is nomi
nated, whether it be Andrews, Mann
or Spiess, the Democratic nominee is
sure to be the butt.
If Democratic success in the com
ing national campaign is to be meas
ured by the length of the noise and
the amount of racket the national
Democratic convention was able to
make in its ovation to the "Peerless
One," then the country will hereafter
have a change in the policy of its ad
ministration. But noise was about
all there was to the demonstration.
The Republican convention at Chi
cago shor.ted forty-six minutes at the
mention of the name of Taft, and the
Democrats had to go this record one
better, but it was an awful strain.
The men at the head of affairs plan
ned the demonstration with great
skill, and the noise makers carried
out the plan nobly. It was well done,
and will no doubt catch a few doubt
ful voters, but the trick is easily
seen through.
If we could only see ourselves as
others see us. The Colfax County
Stockman has evidently forgotten
the old adage that "People who live
in glass houses should undress in the
dark." In a recent editorial it says:
"The American people are not ap
preciating the fact that a retiring
President was permitted to name his
successor in office. Taft is the man
named by Roosevelt; Taft is the man
Roosevelt forced on the Republican
party; Taft is the man Roosevelt said
If you take him you'll have to take
me;' Taft is the man Roosevelt says
must he elected. Are we bordering
on monarchy?"
Now, isn't that the limit? Was
there ever a greater piece of bossism
displayed than the work of the Dem
ocratic nominee for President, the
"Pcclcss One" from Nebraska, in
the Denver convention? Were ever
the reins of control in more arbitrary
hands than Bryan's during that con
vention? His word was not only law
from which no appeal was granted,
but he saw fit to inforce his decrees
in a most high handed manner. Even
Tammany bowed down and licked
his boots. The Democratic platform
is Bryan's, and he suffered no change
to take place? It may be that the
Stockman is not well informed, or it
may he thr.t it has 0 long bluffed
without heinr called that it has for
gotten the value of the hands it holds
But in cither case, its plight is sim
ilar to that "f the pot when it called
the kettle black.
Under the heading "Unity and
Loyalty Necessary for Republican
Success" published in its columns on
July 1 1 tli, the Santa Fc New Mexican
voices the feeilngs of most of the Re
publicans in the Territory and, as the
Citizen understands the situation, of
e very candidate fjr nomination as
Delegate to Congress on the Repub
lican ticket. The article is well writ
ten and the logic is clear in as far
as the article touches on Unity and
Loyalty. No one can gainsay the
correctness of the New Mexican's
statements in this respect. F.very
Republican, knows, or should know,
that the Democrats are making ar
rangements to do their utmost this
fall. Kvery one knows, or should
know, that while both the Republican
;.nd Democratic Nation conventions
have adopted a statehood plank in
their platforms, the adimssion of
New Mexico as a state under a Re
publican administration and Republi
can congress will be more pregnant
with good results if a Republican
delegate to congress is elected.
The only exception to the senti
ment expressed in the article alluded
to, which the Citizen takes, is that
W. H. Andrews is the best man to
send to congress, lhat he is a far
more able man, a more skilled poli
tician than is the Democratic nomi
nee; that he would be able to accom
plish more good for the Territory
and those who make New Mexico
their home than would Larriztda are
all obvious facts. But the Citizen
disagrees with the New Mexican in
A Weekly Paper, published each
Wednesday, in the interests of
Cimarron, the Cimarron Valley
Colfax County, and the Terri
tory of New Mexico. ;
Price, Í2.00 per year.
its belief that Andrews is the best
man the Republicans can offer. It
has heretofore announced that it be
Heves Hon. Chas. A. Spiess to be the
best qualified man for the high office,
and it still continues in this belief.
The New Mexican bases its belief on
what it, in effect, terms the glorious
past achievements of Mr. Andrews
It points to the numerous pensions
granted, and brings forward long
resolutions adopted by members of
the G. A. R. praising the present del
egate for his efforts in their behalf.
It ooints with exaggerated pride to
the appropriation Congress made to
ward the coming Irrigation Congress
at Albuquerque and then says that
Andrews did it. It features the fact
that Albuquerque has obtained a new
Federal building, the result of the ef
forts of Andrews, so we are told but
there it stops, or practically so. We
are to believe that Congress is as
wax in the hands of Mr. Andrews to
he moulded as he sees fit, a puppet to
Janee when he pulls the string.
The Citizen is as ready and willing
to accord to Mr. Andrews his full
share of glory and to give him due
credit for what he has done, and we
must admit that he has been very
hnev n is anv one. But what has
been done in the past is not of ne
cessity proof that it will be again
done in the future, nor is it a conclu
sive argument that no other than An
drews could accomplish the same re
stills, nrovided that other be a Re
publican.

Denver May Be Chosen
As National Head

Colorado Springs, July 20. Unless
the unexpected happens, Denver will
be selected by Chairman Frank H.
Hitchcock and the Western Republi
can leaders as Western neauquaricrs
for 'the Republican national central
committee. i lie Uenvcr boosters
and they arc here from all over the
Rocky mountain section, as well as
from the . Queen City are here in
force, and sentiment in iavor of the
Colorado capital as a
is rapidly developing,

Salt Lake is
honor, but
lead, and its
supporters say it
will not be over
taken in the race.
The conference between Chairman
Hitchcock and the Western leaders
was caleld to order at the Antlers
hotel shortly after 10 o'clock this
mori'ing, and will remain in session
for two days, after which Mr. Hitch
cock will hold conferences with the
various state chairmen and repre
sentatives from each ftate.
The object of the present gather
ing is to devise wavs and means to
absolutely insure the carrying of ev
ery state and territory in the West
for Taft and Sherman, and to secure
active and effective co-operation
among the leaders of the different
states in this region.
"We want cohesion and co-operation,"
said Chairman Hitchcock,
which will absolutely insure the suc
cess of the Republican ticket in ev
ery state and territory in the west
next fall."
Chairman Hitchcock arrived in
Colorado Springs last evening and
immediately went into conference
with various Colorado leaders.
When asked what Western states
he regards as safely Republican, and
what ones he classes as doubtful,
Mr. Hitchcock said:
"I have determined not to make
any predictions at any time. "That
will be my policy throughout the
campaign. We won't neglect any
territory where there is a bare
chance of victory, either North,' or
South, East or West, but I shall
not indulge in forecasts."
DAWSON VS.
TRINIDAD
The Dawson ball team, accompa
nied by a train load of loyal Isew
Mexico fans and their sixty-piece
band invaded Colorado Saturday and
Sunday. J. Pluvius spoiled the fun
on Saturday when the Dawsonites
had made a run in the first inning
and it began look bad for the Trini
dads. Sunday was a perfect day,
however, and two games, the best
ever played in the Southern Colora
do metropolis, were won by Irinidaa
by scores of 2 to I and 5 to I re
spectively. There was no disgrace in
the defeat, however, and the Dawson
fans returned home Sunday night,
more loyal and enthusiastic than ev
er. It was a great day for Northern
New Mexico and bouthern coioraao,
and no occasion in recent years has
served bttter to bring about a more
friendly and neighborly feeling.
Over two thousand people were
packed into the stands when the first

The second run came in the eighth
n two errors, a steal and a couple
of nnsses.
Honska, who has signed with the
Pnehlo Indians, was induced to stay
over to pitch the first game.
The second game was more one
sided. The visitors scored in the
first on an error and McClelland's
long drive to right.
Trinidad secured two runs m the
third on a bunch of singles, steals
onH prrors. one in the
seventn
on
two clean hits and two in tne eignui
on three hits and an error.
Local fans have every reason to
feel proud of the showing made by
both Honska and Barngrover in the
two games. In the face of the heav
iest hitters that have appeared here
this year, Honska pitched like a vet
eran and no combination of condi
tions served to rattle him in the
least. Barngrover, not content with
issuing no passes and allowing but
three hits, boosted the scoring alojjg
by a couple of clean singles.
In spite of the two defeats, there
is no reason to believe but that the
visitors had the time of their lives.
Never was the city visited oy a
bettcr-naturcd and more orueny
company. The park did a big bus
iness as did all the other amuse
ment places of the city. Katon.was
represented by a big delegation
which rooted royally for the New
Mexico team, but admitted with good
grace at the close that Trinidad's
team made the better showing. The
special train left at eleven o'clock on
Sunday night with a tired but happy
bunch of excursionists aboard.
The members of the Chamber of
Commerce and Manager Byers of
Central Park are to be congratulated
upon the successful manner in which
the Trinidad end of the excursion
was kept up. No effort was spared
in entertaining the visitors, a fact
which was appreciated. More than
.mvthinir else, the excursion served
to demonstrate that Trinidad affords
ih hnct center in this section, for
amusements- as well as business. It
is hoped that the Sunday program is
but one om, many similar ones.

PITCHER AND
WAITER IN SCRAP
Trinidad, Colo., (Special), July 22.
Robert Barngrover, the crack
Trinidad pitcher, and Claude Rey
nolds, a waiter, yesterday afternoon
engaged in a street altercation that
resulted in Barngrover getting a
black eye and both paying a fine of
seven dollars in police court two
hours later.
After paying his fine, Barngrover,
exasperated at the manner in which
he had been dragged into the affair,
again attacked his enemy and dealt
him several blows in the presence of
a packed court. The men were sep
arated without further injury to eith
er. The trouble started near the cor
ner of Main and Commercial streets.
Words were exchanged and Barn
grover slapped Reynolds with the
flat of his hand, knocking him into
the street, Reynolds turned and
ran down Commercial street. A few
minutes later he returned and Barn
grover, who had been warned that
his enemy had a gun, deliberately
tunred his back upon him.
Reynolds then dealt the pitcher a
heavy blow over the right eye, in
flicting, a deep cut and felling him to
the ground.
Both were arrested and tried al
most at oncei Bad blood has exist
ed between the men for several days.
Mike Skiles, a bartender; at the
Park Cafe, was fined $25 and costs
yesterday on the charge of "beating
up" a woman of the red light dis

fined $25 and costs for beating his
