RANDOM POLITICAL NOTES.

The promptness with which the Bry-
ante organs began to ring the changes
on the Significance" OF the recent mu-
nIcipal elections in Ohio and two or
three other states is not so surprising
as some OF the queer assumptions In
their comments. Some Of the editorial
utterances OF these papers exhibit either
a desire to lead their readers astray or
Grass ignorance OF the conditions
under which the campaign was conduct
ed in the leading cities. The amount OF
rot" about the result In Cincinnati and
Chicago, for instance, being Of national
Significance, as showing that the people
are deSlFouS OF another change" in
the national administration. like that
they voted for in 1899, perhaps. and
that they arc sorry they voted down the
Populistic fallRcies and free silver here
sy last November, Is based on simply
nothing but the desire to raise tho
hopes Of a disorganIEed and ruined
party.

"Geo. A. Callahan and family and the

that all may realize the fullest benefits

cordially commend them to the good
people of Canon City as i'll every way

The newspapers of Colorado boom

receive from the Press Committee a
printed circular saying, "all courtesies

is as much as newspapers generally get
for column after column of similar
advertising. The newspapers in Del
Norte advertised the pioneer celebra-
tion and it was success. Every week
they are advertising the town and the
county, inducing the people to come
here and locate. They do thousands of
dollars worth of advertising for the
public in this way every year for which
they do not receive IA cent. And when

SATISFIED.

EDITOR RECORD:
Some people OF Canon who do not
believe in the temperance movement
are trying to discourage those who have
voted the Reform ticket for the past
few years, and make them believe that
everything has gone to smash liere-
abonts because one, or perhaps two,
lawbreakers are illegally selling liquor.
Well. let us see about this. The
licensed saloon of Canon has been
thing of the past for one year. During
this twelve months period we have had
more building than ever before in any
yeas of Cafion's existence, and during
this same period we have consumated
arrangements that will bring US the
much coveted Cripple Greek railroad;
also large power plant which l am
Informed will bring in many other
manufacturing enterprises. During
this same time we have had good
fruit crop and there has not been a
business failure in the city. Our labor
ing men have been better employed and
our merchants have made fewer bad
accounts than any former single year.
This, it seems, is proof that we have
not lost the support of the business and
| industrial world because of the prohi-
bition sentiment of the town.
| As to the statement that there is as
much liquor drunk as formerly | deny
it. We had seven saloons, all doing a
large business. Now we may have one
or two low dives that by some skuldug
cry or legerdemain of crime violate the
law and live precarious existence the
same as eounterfeiters or other law
breakers. All know, however. that
their existence is short-lived, for who
ever knew law breaker to flourish for
any great length of time.
do not believe that Canon will ever
return to the legalized saloon. AS |
look over her merchants, businessmen.
lawyers, doctors, and in fact over all
her leading people, l cannot call to mind
single habitual drunk ard. If this is
so why do we need the saloon? Ger
tainly not for the laboring man, farmer
or the boys. Why then again afflict our
fair city with such nuisance? If
am a judge of the thoughts of com
munity believe that Canon is satisfied
with no license and will long remain so
Respectfully.

BICYCLE RELAY RACE.
Fifty-Mile Bicycle Race Between Two
Crack Teams.

Arrangements have been made where
by the most interesting bicycle race
that has ever been run in the county
will take place in the near future on
the new track. 1t is to be fifty mile
relay race between two of the best
teams of our home wheelmen, ten on
each side, each man riding five miles
Nothing of this kind has ever been
attempted in Canon before, and it Is
certain to enlist the interest and sup
port of everybody.
The fact that in the county event
during the races last week the time was
better than in the professional handi-
cap, is a proof that we have some fast
men. There will be no opportunity TO
loaf in this race as every man will ride
his part in the least possible time. 1t
will not be a question as to which can
spurt the fastest on the home stretch
bnt it will be hard fought battle from
start to finish. The teams will be as
evenly balanced as possible SO no one
will be able to predict which will be
victorious. The time of each man will
be caught in order to demonstrate who
are our fastest men. A team from
those making the best time will be
chosen to represent Canon City in like
events with Salida and other towns.
Usually in relay races of this nature
all that people are able to see is the
start and finish, but on this occasion
he spectators may watch it during the
progress of the entire race Being able
to note every stage of the game, to see
which team has the advantage at any
one time, to observe the changes and
see the accidents that may occur. AL
this will add much interest to the event

Vista because of a DELAYED train which
did not reach Canon until some hours
after the wedding hour.
The bride was dressed III a simple but
tasty white wedding gown and the
groom in the usual dark. After tile
ceremony the guests, about forty in
lumber, Were invited into the dining
room where Il bountiful wedding
breakfast was served, furnished by DR..

the breakfast and the departure of the
wedding party was very enjoyably
spent by the guests
Mr.. and Mrs. Prentiss left at four
o'clock for Denver where they will
spend a short time after which they
viii return TO Florence aud make their
home.
No young lady is better known in
Canon than the bride and each year has
added many to her long list of friends
and admirers. The RECORD is too
poor hand at saying graceful things
to pay her the compliment deserved, so
that will be left for her host of friends
who are onlv limited by her acquaint-
ance. The happy man. Mr.. Prentlss
though not having been resident OF
Canon for some years, has many friends
and acquaintances here who are ever
wishing him well. George is one OF
those jolly good natared railroad fel
tows whom fortune ever fayors and
who could not help getting along well
That Mr.. and Mrs. G. a. Prentiss
may live long and prosper well, that
their days may be full of sunshine and
mirth and that every day of their long
lives may be as happy as that day OF
which we write is the wish of the
