Detroit, Mich, April 4.-Daniel B
Campau, Michigan member of the ma
tional democratic committee, wires the
New York World, in response to whether
Dewey would not be stronger candi-
date than Bryan. as follows:
In the present crisis, the democratic
party needs leader Of positive convic-
ton. The democratic candidate must
not only stand firmly upon the demo-
cratic platform. but must be platform
in himself Mere personal popularity is
never sufficient to Win, especially at
time when voters are studying as now.
The democratic party is strongest when
fighting aggressively for principle and
weakest when supporting mere popular
heroes
proud as democrats may be that
Dewey is among those who desire the
downfall Of imperialism, l think it
would be a grave mistake not to place in
nomination William Jennings Bryan.

patches from eastern newspapers inquir-
ing about Idaho sentiment on the sub
InL, D., .
the democratic national committee re-
ceived some of these inquiries. He
sent the following in reply to all of them:
"There is no danger, in my opinion, OF
Dewey's nomination by the national
democratic convention. No one knows
his views on any of the great issues of
the day and it seems a matter Of doubt
whether he is democrat or republican.
No stronger candidate than Bryan can
be nominated, and no scheme Of the gold
bugs to sidetrack Bryan can prevail in

Paris, Tex, April 5.-James G. Dud-
ley OF this city Texas member OF the
democratic national executive committee
in answer to telegram asking his opin-
ion in reference to Admiral Dewey can
didaey for the presidency, replied as fol-
lows:
admiral Dewey will not be nominal
ed by the democratic party. The lesson
learned by the nomination OF Horace
Greeley is still remembered. Nor do
believe that he will be nominated by the
republican party. This is no time for
military or naval heroes. Gen. SCOTS

he said to friend at the Brown Palace.

there has been no advance. 1t is simply

has only been natural increase in the

Grand Junction Senator Wolcott has
introduced bill providing an appro-
priation OF $75, 600 for public building
for our town. Indeed the way we look
at it is that it is not for Grand Junction
alone, put for the western slope. Grand
Junction is the center Of all buniness Of
that side OF the state and constantly
growing in Importance as the people of
the remainder Of the state are just be-
ginning to learn the possibilities Of the
Grand valleys and the other vast agri-
cultural and horticultural districts Of
the western slope of Colorado. What
has already been accomplished in re-
claiming that section to the benefit Of
mankind and the upbuilding of the
state is but starter Of what the next
decade or 30 will reveal. We feel that
we are entitled 10 government building
and that the business OF tho public de-
mand it. With tho rapidly growing bus
mess over there. the present facilities OF
