Waite, 1t took the genius of Tom Pat
terson to discover, The News sets
up n nice dish of crow and calls 1t
spring chicken, proclaiming Its indy
Ing loyalty to the Populist party. The
chances are more than even that the
frantic howls of "Stop my paper"
from Waite's followers have induced
the evident desire of the News to
hedge and try TO assume "independ.

challenge rs to comparative circulation
of the other Denver papers was drop

men will accept the advocacy Of the
tail, while cutting the head OF the
ticket, Is doubtful. Waite Is the log
