Cambridge O- May so. CoL Roose-
velt sarvd jwtlee today that he would
resist any compromise at the Republi-

"There can be no compromise" he
said.
"I'll name the crmoromlse candidate
and he will be me
"If this was an ordinary factional
fight between mere factions a com-
promise would be all right. But this
is not an ordinary factional fight This
is a conflict between the voters who
make up at least 80 or 90 percent of
the Republican party on the one side
and on the other side the men who
have assumed to boas the Republican
party without reference to the wishes
of the majority of the voters.
"When the two forces opposed are of
that stamp there can be no compromise.
I am not surprised at the statement
of two Taf t delegates that they would
be delighted to abandon and take a
dark horse If they could get any votes
by it. Take the country as a whole
and the men behind Mr. Taft don't care
a rap for him; they would take any
man if they could beat me."

Declaration of Taft Both
Candidates Make
Statements.
Cincinnati Ohio. May JO. In a most
bitter and scathing denunciation of
colonel Theodore Roosevelt presi-
dent Taft declared here that the "cer-
tainty of his defeat for the Re-
publican nomination must be & source
of profound congratulation to all pa-
triotic citizens." He declared that
his predecessor in the white house
would wreck the Republican party if
he is chosen by the Republican con-
vention and compared Mr. Roosevelt
to Louis the fourteenth who said "the
state. I am It."
The attack was in the form of a
statement in which president Taft
"Y"kn TknnulBi laat T MT(! a State
ment to the press in which I said that
with 520 Taft delegates then elected
to the convention and with the im-
mediate prospect of the election of
enough to exceed the necessary 540.
the success Of the cause of constitu-
tional government seemed assured.
The delegates elected since that time
hare confirmed this conclusion.
rtooscTelt Certainly Defeated.
"Mr. Roosevelt's speech ' at Cleve-
land shows him in such a light that
the certainty of his defeat for the Re-
publican nomination most be a source
of profound congratulation to all pa-
triotic citizens who can now see the
utter wreck that he would have made
of the party if nominated and the
great danger to which the country
would have been exposed had there
been any chance of his election to a
third term.
"Mr. Roosevelt says that he is the
Republican party and if the Republi-
can national committee in passing on
the credentials of delegates for the
preliminary roll in the convention
shall hold to be unfounded his many
flimsy contests he will decline to
abide the judgment of those having
authority. .
"The inference from this is that he
will bolt the convention because a
duly constituted Republican national
committee shall after a careful in-
vestigation refuse to seat his con-
testing delegates. It his edict is to
ho heeded the holding of any con-
vention at all is perfunctory and su-
perfluous. "The arrogance of his statement that
he is the Republican party and that
failure to comply with his views and
wishes puts those doing so in the at-
titude of bolters finds no parallel in
history save in the famous words of
Louis XIV 'the state I sm if
"It Is on a par with his declaration
that I typify and embody the pro-
gressive sentiment of the age.
"With clearly traceable premedita-
tion he projected contests without
the slightest reason therefor in many
cases weeks after the regular conven-
tions had beeji held merely to make
a basis for a campaign of bluff and
Muster. Now he threatens that unless
this campaign thus carried on is to be
recognized as successful and unless
honestly elected delegates shall be
thrown out in sufficient numbers to
give him a majority he will break
from the party and try to ruin that
which he cannot rule."
NEW MEXICO SOLONS
ON HOME STRETCH
Bond Bill WmBe First Big
Measure to Be Sent to .
the Governor.
Santa Fe. New Mexico. May 20. J
While nntenslblv both nouBes of the
legislature held business In abeyance
fr three days on account of th Scot-
tish Rite reunion it was in reality
for the purpose of getting the Rebubll-
can majority together for the homo
stretch as the legislature must adjourn
on June S. three weeks hence.
The first big measure to be sent to
the governor will be the bond bill. In-
troduced by Baca and providing for
the refunding of the state and county
indebtedness and including the famous
Santa Fe and Grant county railway
bond indebtedness. The measure went
through the house without opposition
onlv J. L. House voting against it on
final passage It will meet more op-
position in the senate but Is assured
of the necessary two-thirds majority
to mak9 it an emergency measure and
it Is practically assured the signature
of governor McDonald it having been
examined by him and his legal advisers.
County Salary Bill.
The second big bill to be put over
and that will probably oe next wees-
is the county salary bill. Here there
will be greater difference of opinion
although the finance committees of both
houses have practically agreed on the
scale of salaries excepting for county
school superintendents and the classi-
fication of counties. There remain then
only the public lands bin. which al-
ready has passed the senate the cor-
poration commission bill which too. hag
passed the senate and the general ap-
propriation bill that imperatively de-
mand action ibefore the legislature ad-
journs. Mere Money Xeedei
The general appropriation bill la
causing some worry for the demands on
the public treasury are so great and
the revenue that will be raised next
year so uncertain that great skill
will have to be exercised to have the
state meet all of its obligations the
first year. Chairman Clark of the sen-
ate finance committee who Is draft-
ing the bilL reports that every edu-
cational and all other Institutions some
50 of them excepting the insane asy
lum ask for an Increased appropria-
tion. Besides these institutions re-
port deficits that total $150000. State-
hood has thrown the burden of all sal-
aries and contingent expenses on New
Mexico tax payers and the legislature
and all Its expenses must now be paid
out of the state treasury Instead of by
t?ncle Sam as In former years. Mr.
Clark deems it necessary to issue cer-
tificates of Indebtedness or bonds
to cover the Increased expenses of the
state for the first few years and until
a system of assessment taxation and
revenue can be put in force to meet all
expenses. Senator Clark counsels econ-
omy but is opposed to niggardliness
that would cripple the state.
Many Bills With Committees.
There are almost 400 bills pending in
committees of both houses but besides
the big measures mentioned only a few
acts will be placed on the statute books
and those few must take their chances
In the rush of the closing hours. This
weak the first evening sessions of the
house will be held.
The senate proposes to kill the bill
naseed by the house to give women rep
resentation on boards of state lnstitu- !
trans havlne women inmates or woman
students. The New Mexico Women's
Federation is backing the bill.
Bducational Bill Tabled.
The -senate tabled three educational
bills one providing for free text books
up to and Including the eighth grade
another prohibiting the employment
of teachers addicted to alcoholic drink
and tobacco and a third gU ing county
commissioners the right .to appoint
scholars to the state educational Insti-
tutions Bills were Introduced to pro-
hibit the election and appointment to
public office of any person who has
been conlffed of cr'm and an aft ap-
propriating $50nn for a draina0e project
in Socorro county.

Arisona to deliver the state delegation

indicated by the tactics pursued by
Taft men In three county committee
meetings.

from a decision of chairman Gardner

land son of the late senator Mark
Hanna was supporting him. and that
Hanna had been indicted on the charge
of rebating.
One by one he took up points upon
which president Taft has assailed
him. and as he brought his speech te
an end he said:
"1 am against Mr. Taft because Mr.
Taft proved faithless to the cause of
the American people."
R006HVELT CLvYIMS HE WILL
CARRY THE STATE OP OHIO.
Cleveland Ohio. May 20. "I am
entirely satisfied with the last week."
said CoL Roosevelt in a statement yes-
terday. "I believe the people of Ohio
are sound and will place Ohio beside
Pennsylvania and Illinois in this line-
up of the people against the powers
that prey."
Col. Roosevelt's statement was is-
sued at Mentor a sutrb of Cleveland
where he spent the day with James R.
Garfield former secretry of the In-
terior. In It he criticised president
Taft. saying the president had claimed
credit Tor the mining bureau. CoL
Roosevelt asserted this bureau was es-
tablished by Mr. Garfield with the as-
sistance of a commission of engineers.
"The commission rendered service of
great value." Col. Roosevelt continued
"and president Taft disbanded It un-
der the dictation of Messrs. Cannon
and Tawney as he did the country life
commission and various other com-
missions yielding as usual to the
bosses and heedless of the damage he
did to the people. I repeatedly had i
recommended the bill and it never
would hae been passed had we not
actually established the bureau."
Colonel Roosevelt then tuck up the
Brownsville affair.
"Mr. Taft states" the statement
reads "that he cabled me while I was
in Panama asking that the order of
dismissal be suspended and that I
cabled a response denying his request
and directed that the order immediate-
ly be executed. This Is correct so far
as It goes but what it-conceals Is far
more interesting that what it reveals."
The former president asserted Mr.
Taft had urged the dismissal of the
negro troops involved but after the
departure of president Roosevelt for
Panama there arose a "storm of pro-
test against the order by the profes-
sional politicians."
"Mr. Taft" he continued "promptly
began to wobble and to show urgent
need that somebody should supply the
strength and firmness of purpose
which he lacked. He explained to me
on occasions that his request was due
to his apprehension as to the polit-
ical effect of the order."

gone to secure machine guns and
cannon to add to the fortifications of
Ciudad Juarez In the event of an at-
tack by the federal forces. He brought
the reinforcements.
On the return to Juarez he stated
that he left 250 men at Villa Ahumada
under the command of Capt Ramirez
with instructions to ward off any ad-
vance made by the federals In that
region.
Monday following the report that
there were between 250 and 304 fed-
erals in the vicinity of Guadalupe. CoL
Ponce prepared to dispatch 309 rebels
to that point under the command of
Lieut. CoL Peres and Capt Cano. Later
he received the Information that the
town had been attacked.
"Juarez is well fortified" said CoL
Ponce Monday morning. "We have
machine guns and cannon stationed in
the barracks and at other points. We
are prepared to give the federals a
warm reception."
Juarez Xet Te Be Attacked.
E. C. Llorente. Mexican consul has
informed CoL Steever that no attack is
contemplated on Juarez at present.
The federal movements which are from
the vicinity of Ojlnaga and from Son-
era are ail being made with the ob-
jective point at Chihuahua or north of
Chihuahua between that city and
Juarez. It is the main rebel army they
are aiming at and it is now said that
Gen. Huerta has delayed his attack
from t)e south has purposely moved
his army slower than necessary In or-
der to give the troops from Ojlnaga and
Sonora a chance to operate when the
big battle opens.
Advices from the front are that the
rebels are still entrenched at Rellano
with outposts at Escalon and that the
federals are advancing slowly. Mili-
tary experts say there is no earthly
reason why It should Jjave taken Gen.
Huerta eight days to advance from
Conejos where he defeated the rebels
last Sunday week to Savalza where
he was last night a distance of only
87 miles; that he evidently has some
purpose In advancing so slowly. This
purpose evidently is to give the troops
from Ojlnaga and Sonora a chance to
get near Chihuahua before he opens the
battle at Rellano.
Rebels Xet Excited.
The rebels in Juares have shewn no
unusual activity as a result of the
Mexican consul's declaration of the
near presence of federals until today-
Sunday afternoon Col. Paseual Orosco
sr. the commander of Juarez and all
his officers attended the prizefight in
the bull ring The only marked ac-
tivity has been in sending out addi-
tional men to their outposts and in
bringing in reinforcements from Chi-
huahua. The rebels claim that none of
their scouts have reported the presence
of federals anywhere except those at
Guadalupe.
Word has been received that the
decks of three bridges below Bustillos
have been burned. This was done
sometime Sunday. The bridges are on
the Chihuahua branch of the Mexico-
North Western railway. Every Indica-
tion points to the buratng of the
bridges by the federals making for
Chihuahua city from Sonora.
At Juarez It is said that the bridges
will be speedily repaired.
Ranger C. H. Webster went down to
Clint Sunday to see what he could see
and has not reported any federals near
there to the sheriffs office which la
taken as an Indication that he has not

LORIMER SEATED

conditions under which the steno-
graphic report of McGowan's conver-
sation was made and added that the
results were so disastrous to the
claims made by the stenographer to
satisfy the committee that no depen-
dence whatever could be placed upon
hla testimony.
The committee passed Judgment
upon some of the prominent features
of the first investigation which were
the further subject of inquiry at the
second investigation.
"White Declared a Fabricator.
The sensational account by former
state representative Charles A. White
of receiving Larimer election money
was pronounced "as a pure fabrica-
tion so far as it relates to the elec-
tion of senator Lorimer."
The committee arvanced the theory
that Instead of senator Daniel W.
Holstlaw having' been paid $8500 for
having voted for Lorimer it might
have been paid by liquor interests to
defray his election expenses although
posing as a "dry."
TTolatiasr a Motor Candidate.
From a consideration of all the cir-
cumstances "it was explained "the
committee is satisfied that Holstlaw
was the candidate of the liquor Inter-
ests in his senatorial district and was
elected by them that he was subjected
to large campaign expenses and mon-
ey being dearer to him than his rep-
utation he felt convinced that he
vfbuld not be likely to Incur such ex-
penses unless assured that he would
be reimbursed. It is conceded that
liquor legislation has been one of the
