Circles.

says that things are muchly mixed in
the metropolis at present. There is
war between the alleged High Five"
and the Seaman crowd as to who
Killed cock robin. In short who was
to blame for the recent Republican
defeat? Whether the onus will fin.
ally adjust itself to the right back or
backs remains to be seen.
One reason for the recent defeat
was of course the thorough organiza.
ton and active labors of the Popu.
lists, Teller Silver Republicans and
Democrats. The latter certainly did
not underestimate the strength of
the Republican forces. or this there
is no lack of proof.
The Republicans claim that had
1t not been for Illegal voting they
would surely elected all but two on
their ticket. They also claim that
5000 illegal votes were registered in
the different precincts.
How was that? Well. in Arapa
hoe county they use precinct registra
uon. The voter calls and leaves
his name, etc, at his precinct The
names are made out on blanks and
then sent to the court house where
they are entered in book. 1t is
said that at least one-third of the Re
publican names We're torn up and not
entered upon the court house book at
all. Naturally. many votes were in
that manner lost.
individuals also registered in diff
ferent precincts under assumed
names. Many imaginary persons
were registered from vacant lots
some fifteen or twenty people some
times being assigned one vacant lot
AS dwelling place.
On election day some needy and
probably seedy individual would be
given slip of paper with one of these
non-est peoples names and the direc-
ton to vote that in a certain precinct.
Possibly the same individual would
repeat the performance with another
name and in new precinct, but hail

election day Mr. Hodges prevented
40 of these. which were positively
known to be illegal votes from being
allowed to stand Oh. It was great.
"A committee of IL has been ap-
pointed to meet some time in Jan.
uary to make rules for primaries and
conventions. T. C. Graden has
been appointed to represent this vi
cinity. Law and order leagues will
also be organized for the prevention
of illegal registration and voting
"A great deal is being said In favor

ticularly strong at Colorado Springs.
THE outlook for the party's future
is certainly very bright. The eyes
of all concerned are turned toward
the rising, not the setting. sun of par.

than the old has arisen in might, its
radiance overpowering and absorbing
all that was worthy from the past.
In confidence, strength and prosper

Rv HENRY SCOTT CLARK
By CHARLES MAJOR
By DELIGHT

Bound in cloth, illustrated. Bowen Merrill's price, S1.5O.
This is a story of love and of war that is of very unusual in
terest. For its historical setting the author has taken the story
of the great raid made by Morgan's Confederate Cavalry
through Indiana and Ohio during the civil war. The story is
told in the first person by a young Virginian. John Trenham,
a captain of cavalry in Morgan's command. He Is in love
with a girl in the North. Kate Bslray, and his conflicting sent
iments and the intense feeling existing among his associates.
both of the North and the South, are most skillfully described.
The book is in a field that is new, and 1t gives a series of &C
curate, vivid. yet dispassionate pictures of the time. The de-
scription of the dashing ride made by the famous raider is dra-
matte in its interest.

This IS a powerful romance, and stands in a new
field almost unknown to the average reader-the
world OF conflict between Greek and Turk. The
characters are we'll conceived, and are human and
convincing. 1t IS a story of delightful humor, love
and adventure, and is told in such a vivid style that
it brings the tragic and pathetic troubles of the
people of the East home to one with convincing
force.

The action of the story begins with the landing OF one Michael lie
BOurse at Long Island. his blowing the cOnch for the New York ferry
lei and starting TO the little city OF less than 5000 inhabitants. The
conflict between the law+abfdug citizens Of New York, led by the
Governor. Earl BaHamOnt. and the merchants, headed by PATRON
Van VoIkenberg. is at its height. The Governor has forbidden the
port to the freetraders o r pirate ships, which infested the Atlantic
and sailed boldly under their own flag. while the PATRON and his
merchant colleagues not only traded openly with the buccaneers,
but owned and managed such Illicit craft.
PATRON Van NOlkenbeTg is a character worth pOTtraying. Rough,
unScrupulOus. enamOred Of power, he sails high-handed through the
story like one of his own Iawless buccaneers. He schemes, murders
and perjures himself and at the same time he stands fearless and un-
ashamed before his Judges, convincing them that, in the truer impl-
cations Of his being, ne is a gentleman. tie faces the consequences of
his plOttings without a shadow of trembling, and he finally dies the
death of a hero, desperate, bold, dominating and powerful. TO the end.
The atmosphere OF the tale is fresh in fiction, the plot is stirring and
we'll knit, and the author is possessed of the ability to write forceful,
fragrant English.
