MILITARY ADD CIVIC PARADE
Pageant Ended at Cleveland Square
Where Three Governors and
£1 Pasoans Spoke
I1
With all five of the invited govern-
ors In the city, the program for yester-
day was complete. The day opened
with the grand military parade, which
ended at Cleveland square and was
followed by welcome addresses to the
five governors and speeches from eacn
of them. v . . , .
The military parade was scheduled
to begin at 9:30 o’clock and Colonel
E. F. Glenn, who was In command,
certainly lived up to his promise that
any parade he was connected with
would start precisely on time. At ex-
actly 9:30 the head of the long column
swung down Mesa avenue.
The parade was complete in every
detail and was one of the finest spec-
tacles of the entire Jubilee. At the
head of the parade rode Chief Jenkins,
followed by eight mounted police.
Then came the grand marshals. Colo-
nel Glenn and J. F. Coles, with their
aides. All were finely mounted, and
Grand Marshal Coles and his aides
were resplendent in black coats, white
riding breaches and brand new putees.
The main column was headed by the
Twenty-third Infantry band, followed
by the second battalion of the Twenty-
third infantry. The men were in pla-
toon formation and kept perfect lines
during the entire parade. They wer
greeted with round after round of
cheers. The machine gun Plat°°"
lowed and then came the hospital
/
)
Following the hospital corps of the
Twenty-third came the governors and
ernors Sloan and Mills. The crowds
cheered the “home” governor and the
two governors of the new states, who
bowed and acknowledged the salutes.
The next In the line of march was
the Fourth cavalry, preceded by its
band. The men had ridden in fro™
their camp and were covered with
dust, but they made one of the finest
showings In the parade. ^ They, like
the Infantry, were in platoon forma-
tion, the lines reaching the entire
width of the street, and the lines kept
were as gopd as the Int&atry- T*1®
machine gun squads and the ambul-
ance corps followed and the rear was
brought up by a pack ond wagon
train. This proved to be one of the
> most interesting sights of the parade.
The thirty-six ipack mules were all
loaded, and strung out for fully a
block: They were herded along In
fine shape and received "dany cheers.
This was the end of the first division.
* No Breaks In Parade.
With no break in the parade, the
second division swung down the
street, headed by Captain Elmer Lind-
sley, of the Fourth cavalry, accompa-
nied by his aids. v
Following them came a band, at tne
head of the I-as Cruces national guard
company. The El Paso company and
the troops from Mexico were unable
to appear In the parade.
Headed by a band, the next in line
of march-was the El Paso Military in-
stitute battalion. The line was almost
perfect, and, considering the short
time the cadets have had to drill, they
made an excellent showing. Next
came the boy scouts. And the scouts
were the hit of the parade. They were
cheered all along the line. The boys
made a fine showing and were easily
the feature of the parade. Following
them came a mounted standard bear-
er, with the Mexican white cross flag.
On either side of him rode Colonel
Bush and Colonel Wilson, of the ex-
lnsurrecto medical corps. Then came
the El Paso school for girls, thirty-six
strong. All were well mounted and
kept in fine formation. This was the
end of the second division.
The third division was in charge of
Major N. Lapowski, with three aides.
A band folowed them, and an automo-
bile with Confederate veterans, was
the next in line. When the band play-
ed “Dixie” the veterans stood up in the
oar and uncovered. The car drove
past with loud cheers from the specta-
tors. The S. U. Mexican band Was
next in line, and then came a detach-
ment of real, live western cowboys re-
splendent In silk shirts of every hue,
chaps and "Stetsons.” About every
block they emitted V loud cowboy yell,
which was taken up by the crowds.
The end of the parade was brought
up by the fire department. Chief An-
derson riding in the first automobtle
and the entire equipment of the de-
partment" following. It was a fine end-
ing for one of the biggest and best
parades seen in El Paso in many
years.
The parade ended at a reviewing
stand in Cleveland square, where the
governors and their staffs reviewed
the procession, which had traversed
the main streets.
El Paso’s formal welcome to the five
governors was extended at ceremonies
In the square.
Scene at Square.
The scene at the square was an ani-
mated one. As soon as the parade
ended the crowds which had been
watching It flocked to the square and
formed in a great semi-circle In front
of the band stand. The five govern-
ors their staffs, and the reception
committee walked in double file up
to the stand.
Seats had been arranged on the
stand. The five governors sat togeth-
er on the front row, while behind them
«at their staffs, many of them in full
» dress uniform. Fully fifty -persons
W'ere grouped on the stand.
Eylar Greets Governors.
Albert 8. J Eylar, judge of the
county court, voiced the sentiments of
1 «
the large concourse of people present
in the following words of greeting:
“The city of El Paso desires to ex-
tend a cordial*-welcome to the guests
of this Jubilee. As Arixona and New
Mexico came into this Union together,
it is natural and proper "that they
should celebrate the event together.
In these two states, however, theru
are so many beautiful places, that no-
body would have been able to decide
upon the meeting, place. Realizing
this ,the citizens of this city huve ex-
tended to the whole people of Arixona
and New Mexico an invitation to jubi-
late here.
“The governor of Texas has come to
greet the -pe-tple of Arizona and New
Mexico as free-born citizens of the
United States—-no longer dependent
residents of a territory.
“And Abraham Gonzales, governor
of Chihuahua, is here to congratulate
the people of Arizona and New Mexico
and to rejoice with them. Governor
Gonzales likes the climate of El Paso,
too, for not long since he found it tar
more healthful than that of Mexico.
“We have here also the governor of
the great state of Sonora, that state
which bounds Arizona on the south,
and which is as close and dear to the
people of Arizona as Chihuahua is to
us.
Fortunate Are Territories.
“Fortunate, indeed, are those terri-
tories that haH governors like Sloan
and Mills. To those men as well as to
the people of Arizona and New Mexico
El Paso extends a sincere and hearty
welcome to this jubilee.”
O. B. Colquitt, governor of Texas,
was introduced by Mayor Kelly. He
spoke, in part, as follows:
' ‘’Fellow citizens: 1 want to say at
the commencement of my speech that
I consider myself fortunate in being
governor of Texas at this time, in or-
der that I may welcome these two new
states into the American Union.' and
take part with you in celebrating ttoe
great event.
“The people of El Paso have done,
and are doing today, themselves credit
in this great undertaking of welcom-
ingly fittingly the two new states of
Arizona and New Mexico.
“I want also to extend the heartiest
welcome on behalf of the people of
Texas to the governor of the Mexican
state to the south of us and to the
governor of the state of Sonora.
“Texas can sympathize with New
Mexico and Arizona In their efforts
and disappointments over the state-
hood problem. She herself knocked
twice at the door of the Federal Un-
ion before she was permitted to enter.
When It was first proposed to admit
the Republic of Texas into the Amer-
ican Union as a sovereign state, a ma-
jority of the senators representing the
sovereign states at that time voted to
refuse the best ipart of the Union of
today.
“On the first day of January, 1912,
New Mexico and Arizona will cease to
be territories of-the United States and
will be admitted into the Union as
sovereign states. And the people of
those states will choose their own
chief executives and the legislators
that will represent them. I hope they
will select some good Texan. I do not
know who is running over there, my
fellow citizens, but they could not do
better.
Government at Washington.
“I hope that these two states In the
future, as Texas has done in the past,
will exercise their sovereignty in favor
pf maintaining the system of govern-
ment established by George Washing-
ton and perpetuating the doctrines of
representative government by the con-
vention that wrote the federal consti-
tution.
“It was not and is not my purpose to
detain you in a lengthy address, but
from the bottom of my heart, as the
chief executive of the stateal thank
you for the -privilege of participating
in this jubilee; and with all the sincer-
ity of my nature. I want to say to the
governors of New Mexico and Arizona,
that the people of Texas extend to
them and their people the right hand
of fellowship and welcome them out
of their territorial state as states of
the American Union.
“In the times that shall come, when
contentions and strife shall beset our
people, and the chief executive of the
nation, if need be. asks the states of
the Union to contribute their quotas
of men and money to preserve the
constitution and defend the flag, I
venture to say that no soldiery will be
swifter or braver to defend that con-
stitution and that flag than the sol-
diers from Texas, from New Mexico,
and from Arizona.
“I am proud of Arizona and New
Mexico In part on account of the fact
that no such territories would have ex-
Abraham Gonzales of Chihuahua,
the last governor to arrive, came it:
early yesterday morning, accompa-
nied by his statf. No sooner had he
arrived than the crowd began to flock
about him. anxious to see one of the
greatest men of Mexico.
His appearance changed in no way
from the time when ho was Iasi here
planning the overthrow of President
Diaz.
Governor Gonzales spent every spare
moment yesterday greeting old friends
and admirers. Many' who had Known
him 'nly as h soldier and fugitive
grasped him cordially by the hand ai d
congratulated him on his success as an
executive. |
Of a timid disposition, speaking only
when addressed. Governor Uon nates
showed yesterday that he is a tj-an of
wonderful magnetism. All who came
in contact with him went away with a
good opinion of the new- blood which
is at present at the. head of the Mexi-
can government. Throughout the day
crowds flocked about tfie govern jr
iv.ailing a chance to grasp his hand
and to welcome him to the jubilee.
"Of course you know I am glad to
be here,” he said. “How could 1 feel
otherwise? El Paso is a great eity
and I have learned to love it. 1 have
always had, a soft spot In my heart
for El Paso and its citizens and 1 shall
always retain it.
"I have spent many happy moments
here and I always look with gratitude
on the people, so many of whom are
my personal friends. El Paso has
helped me wonderfully and I shull
never forget it.”
Some Old Smile.
A* this moment he was carried away
by the reception committee and with a
friendly wave of his hand and the
bland smile which has won him so
many friends ho disappeared in the
crowd that closed around him.
Accompanying the governor is Sec-
retary' of State Braulio Hernandez,
Fortunado Dosal, Zevcrino Perez. Bal-
tazar Anaya. Cruz Gonzales. Juan Fau-
doa, Senof Trillo and Sylvester Terra-
zas. The party will leave tonight on
the south bound National Railway
train for the city of Chihuahua.
Secretary' of State. Braulio Hernan-
dez is another one of the many visitors
who is glad to be-in El Paso. “Read
my face," he said yesterday, “you can
see it all there. I like El Paso and
her people. I like the jubilee and I
think it Is a credit to any state in
Mexico or your own country.”
Colonel Eduardo F. Hay, who was
invited as a special guest of honor of
Governor Gonzales, did not arrive yes-
terday as expected, but a telegram to
the Times says that ho will be here to-
day. Colonel Hay' Is well known here
and is as well liked as he is well
known, for it was Hay who assisted
Gonzales in organizing the original
revolutionary “junta” in El Paso. He
is making the trip from Mexico City
just to attend the jubilee and will be
warmly welcomed on his arrival.
About Honest Abe.
Thrice governor of the state of Chi-
huahua within the past six months,
and due to serve a four year term, Ab-
raham Gonzales shows nil of the quali-
fications of a truly great man. Pro-
visional governor, governor ad interim
at the close of the revolution and now
the first constitutionally elected exec-
utive of the state, he Is making a rep-
utation for honesty and integrity.
Gonzales was. born forty-six year.^
ago in the district of Guerrero and has
spent by far the greater number of
years in his native state. He is the
eldest of a family of ,slx children,
three boys and three girls.
Since childhood the governor has
shown an intense desire for knowledge
and In the year 1883 left his home for
Indiana, where he entered the Univer-
sity of Notre Dame at South Bend, In-
diana. After spending two years at
the American Institution he returned
to his ranch near the Jilace of his birth
and from that time until now he has
shown a great interest in things polit-
ical.
Some years later he left his ranch
and moved to the City of Chihuahua,
where he edited a small newspaper.
Later he came to El Paso and became
a partner in a firm of cattle dealers.
In this city as well as every other
place he has had business dealings he
has acquired a name for honesty. He
Is called "Honest Abe.”
At the outbreak of the revolution he
was appointed provisional governor of
Chihuahua by Francisco I. Madero,
and during the period of the war he
stood next to him. At all times he
was found working energetically for
the successful termination of the rev-
olution and at ail times he shared the
hardships of his men. During this
period he was not only the provision-
al governor, but was also the military
commander of the second zone.
At the close of hostilities he went
to the City of Chihuahua, where he
took- over the governorship of the
state. At the special election held In
the month of August there were but
thirty-four opposing votes In the state.

Governor’s speeches, a great mill*
I tar.v parade, baseball, championship
| roping, the presentation of flags to the
! two governors of the now states, a
| ball, a reception and the carnival
shotys—that was the list of events for
the second day of the Statehood Ju-
bilee, with greater crowds than ever
added.
For the first event, Hie military
parade, El Paso had turned out en
masse, and it stayed turned out the
-entire day. Throngs lined the streets
along which the parade passed and
the windows of every building along
the line of march were jammed. Thru
it all there was no disorder. At no
time did the police and special officers
have any trouble In keeping the
crowds in order, a happy situation
brought about by the good nature of
both.
The scenes on the streets were a
duplicate of Thursday, with the
crowds greatly multiplied. A few be-
lated storekeepers had added their
flags and bunting to the decorations,
but the work of transforming the city
into Its holiday dress had been done
so well on Thursday that these were
hardly noticed.

He was inaugurated the fourth day
of the present month and Is now de-
voting his time and energy to the up-
lifting of his people. Every effort Is
being made on his part to wipe out
the remaining effects of the old re-
gime and those who are watching
closely are able to see that he Is pro-
ducing the results.
During the recent’national election
in his country, he received a large
complimentary vote as vice president-
ial candidate, although he did not as-
pire to that position. This is consid-
ered a very good indication as to his
political standing in the north and It Is
safe to say that five years from now
his name will appear on the presiden-
tial ticket and It is also safe to reason
that If he Is as successful during the
remainder of his term as governor as
he has been thus far, that he may fin-
ally become the chief executive of the
sister republic.
Vice Governor E. Gnyou of Son-
ora, accompanied by his ktaff. arrived
early yesterday morning and was met
at the Union station by the jubilee
committee, which immediately es-
corted him to Hotel Sheldon, whore
an Informal breakfast was served.
At the conclusion of t|je breakfast
the vice governor addressed the
guests, saying that in lieu of Gover-
nor Maytorena lie had been sent by
that official to represent the statu of
Sonora at the great jubilee.
■ Governor Muytorena, on account
of official business, is unable to at-
tend the jubilee and sends his sin-
cere regrets,” said the speaker. ‘ 1 he
fact that he Is not with you today
Is not his fault, neither Is it his wish.
Had it been possible for him to leave
his affairs he would gladly have at-
tended.
•M bring for him congratulations to
the new states of Arizona and New
Mexico. He is glad to see them ad-
mitted into the brotherhood of states
and it is the earnest desire that they
conduct themselves in a highly suc-
cessful manner.”
Vico Governor Gnyou was horn in
vthe state of Sonora at the oily of
Gtiaymas in the year 185S. Since his
birth bp bus lived lti that sttttc with
the exception of the time he spent tu
college. Raised near the city of
Gtiaymas he returned to that place nl
the conclusion of his* studies at Mex-
ico City, whore he graduated as en-
gineer of mining.
Since his return to Gtiaymas he has
practiced his profession in many
parts of the state. Never before the
cone I tt si on of the revolution did lie
hold office, and last night he denied
the story that he had been an office
holder under the regime of Porflrto
Diaz.
Forced to Flee.
Prior to the outbreak of the revolu-
tion he was forced to flye irom to*
country on account of his political
faith In Arizona and California he
spent much time preparing for the
revolution at the outbreak of which
he returned to Sonora, where he or-
ganized and led a force of insurrec-
tos. . ,
On July 30 he was elected vice gov-
ernor of the state of Sonora at the
first, constitutional election Sonora
has ever had. For several weeks he
acted In the capacity of governor dur-
ing the illness of Governor Muytor-
ena. , , , ,
“The jubilee is great," he said last
night. ”1 am glad to g*e tha patriot*
ism shown by Ihc American people
It makes in-' feel proud of them. 1
have observed their actions in every
particular and 1 think they are a
great people.
“The city of El Paso is a live one.
1 have spent a short time here be-
fore and I have always believed that
It is destined to grow with much ra-
pidity. My party has been treated
'with great cordiality here and we are
having an enjoyable time.”
“As for the states of Arizozna and
New Mexico I wish them well. i
feel deeply gratified that they have
been admitted to the union arid I hope
thut they will advance until they are
on a par with all others In every
way. My ’mprcsrlons of their inhubl-
tnnts are good and my sympathy Is
with them.”
The members of the vice governor s
staff are as follows: Congressman E.
C. Gonzales, of the Gtiaymas district;
Colonel Santiago'Cantberos, a leader
of the revolutionary army of Sonora,
and E. V. Anaya, deputy United
States marshal at Tucson. Arlz.

The presentation of silk colors yes-
terday afternoon at Fort Bliss by the
governor of Texas to the governors
of Arizona and New Mexico was the
most spectacular and inspiring cere-
mony yet witnessed by the visitors to
El Paso's great jubilee celebrating
the admission of the last two contin-
ental territories Into the sisterhood of
American states.
Thousands of IC1 Pasoans and vis-
itors, carried to l*\rt Bliss In special
trains, street cars, automobiles, vehi-
cles. and afoot, thronged the parade
grounds, some of them waiting hours
to mark the salute of seventeen guns
to the governors, to view the presen-
tation to the governors of the new
states of two beautiful American
flags, each carrying two bright new
stars in the blue field, to observe tho i this group may ever shine as bright
