SAYS RIVER OF DOUBT
WILL DEFEAT ROOSEVELT
Gen. Miles Compares It to San Juan
Hill and Dec Urea the Colonel
Will run for President.
Minneapolis, June 4 The
River of Doubt and the Charge
of San Juan Hill bear the same
rslative standing in the annals
of truth, according to Gen. Nel
son A. Milos. United States
armv. retired, in an interview
y 1
here.
Gen. Miles said that Col.
Roosevelt was not, in the battle
with which his name has been
linked, and also that the river
which Col. Roosevelt savs he
discovered is well known to all
students of topography.
"In my judgement nothing
can prevent the republican
party from rallying around
Roosevelt the next time," said
Gen. Miles. "He will get the
nomination and be a magnetic
personality in the period preced
in sr the convention. Then he
will go into the campaign and
he will ride to a fall."
,4The River of Doubt is the
last straw," says the General.
"That" river was known on the
mans of Brazil a century or
longer. . When the people know
the facts, just the plain facts,
they will snt.w him under."
'
Let Gen. Miles speak again
He tells much truth in a short
time and in a short space.
Editor.
Let it be distinctly understood
that we are not furnishing space
in the Kenna Record for calam
ity howlers and back-bito.
We found it necessary this week
to again, consign to the waste
basket quite a lengthy contri
bution. We are indeed glad to
have contributions fioni a 1 1
parts of the country, but in
every instance the pieces con
tnbuted must be in good humor
and of interest and of worth to
the readers of the Record.
We hold the right to say what
shall and what shall not go in
the paper.
If there is any howuno to be
done, the Editor will do it. If
there is a neighborhood rumpus
io be kicked up, be man enough
to go personally to the one of
fending you and settle your
difficulty, don't think for a
.. minute that you can whip him
"over our shoulders.
Another tremendour rain fell
Tuesday afternoon, equal almost
in quantity to the one which
fell on May 17th. This how
ever was a steady down pour
for an hour and a half with but
little hail and no material dam
age has been reported. The
rain fall was estimated at about
three inches and wai general,
extending fton Clovis to Carls
bad. However from all reports
th heaviest part was in this
vicinity.
The Tough One I'm telling youe,
