!essly lost to the republican ticket.
The democratic candidate, whoever
he may be will not have to spend a

solid south. 1t is Just as sure to go
for him as the sun rises and sets.
In addition to this the bad effect OF
this Kentucky business will, in my
judgment, be felt in Maryland, Del
aware, West Virginia and North
Carolina The small coterie of
republican place holders in the
south has and will continue to be,
as long as it runs things, the curse
of republicanism in the south. 1t
is the old man of the mountain on
the shoulders of the republican
party in every Southern state.
These men do not care for the sue
cess OF the party; all they want is
the few places which go to them
when republican president is in
power. They delight in the ap>
pointment OF disreputable men to
Offices, Simply because they know
that this action drives back into the
democratic party ali those decent
voters who would be inclined to
support the republican ticket on
great national issues, if the party
did not injure itself by dickering
for convention votes with the mems
bers of the office holding trust in

The Important Thing in Saving.

Is how to place your savings safely
without possibility of loss and where
they will accumulate and multiply.
There is no savings institution more safe
or which multiplies savings more rapid
ly than the Fidelity Savings association.
I is model savings bank; it is guaran-
teed against runs; its money is loaned
on first mortgage improved real estate
securities; it's mortgages are all non-ne-
gotiable and held as securities for its
stockholders, therefore it is as absolute
ly safe ms a government bond. None of
the officers can borrow dollar of its
funds. There are no preferred stock
holders to reap the cream of the profits
and the poor mans dollar is just a. good
as the rich mans thousands. Interest
is compounded monthly and compound
interest accumulates with marvellous
rapidity. A savings of a few dollars a
month with the Fidelity means that:
1t will provide capital to use or
start in business.
1t is the most remunerative depository
for q surplus.
1t provides for saving money usually
squandered.
1t provides an easy way to procure a
home.
1t provides fund for the education of
your children.
1t is the best possible medium for pro-
viding a reserve fund for the hard times
or old age.
1t will return you in few years,
5000 on a 80 monthly savings; $1,000, on
a $40 monthly savings; $4,000 on a
S25 monthly savings. In the past ten
years the Fidelity has returned over
three million dollars to its stockholders.
Why not commence a savings today.
and deposit regularly every month a
small amount with the largest savings
institution in Colorado-the Fidelity
Savings Association.

CONGER HAS FULL POWER.
hut No Far Has Not Committed This
Government In China.

Washington. November e7-The cabi-
net nesting today was occupied mainly
with discussion OF Chinese affairs, and
the reading of portions OF the Presidents
forthcoming message to Congress. The
result of the discussion OF the present
phases OF the Chinese problem was q
thorough approval at every point Of the
policy OF Secretary Hay, and especially OF
the last instructions to MIR. Conger,
which were forwarded just week ago.
While MIR, Conger has full plsnipotenti-
airy powers, and consequently by his acts
at Pekin, can finally commit the govern
ment of the United States to an agres-
ment, IL IL understood by the officials
here that SO far he has not signed any
protocol, or preliminary trenty. The
government OF the United States still
stands uncommitted and therefore - in q
position to endeavor to bring about such
changes In the arrangement as are
deemed Indispensable.

has not yet communicated to the state
department thu reception accorded by
the German government to the copy OF

partment to Minister Conger.

gestion of this government is embodied
