fessor who tramped the country and
wrote "The Workers." will make

first tramp. and that this state offers
Il better field for economic and Socio-
logical investigations than any other
in the Union
Mr.. WykOff will make the Colorado
tour during the next two months, and
will walk from side to side and end to
end of the stale. His tour will be in
general like the sensational journey
which he made over the country sever
alyears ago, when he disguised himself
as Il tramp and sought work in every
large city, east and west, and lived the
life of IL a'castaway and Il straying seek
er for odd jobs. The assistant pro-
fessor of political economy in the Uni
versity of Princeton then went back to
his books and classes. and wrote The
Worker" and the book attracted ma
tional attention.
Wykor will go on foot through Colo
RADIO and appear as a plain working
man, and apply for work. He will
spend considerable time among the coal
camps of the Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company, where big sociological ex-
pertinent has been undertaken, and
also in the camps of the gold and sill,
Yer miners. living with them and
studying the conditions of their life
and work. The Princeton professor
gained great popularity by his former
trip and book and is the center of a
large group of admirers at Princeton.
notwithstanding that the students
called him Weary WykOff' and other
pet names designated to embellish his
tramp life. He is thirty-seven years
old. and is a leader in economic
thought in the country.

methods employed by his opponents. Earlier In
the day Colonel Dixie announced that he would
Immediately take steps for speedy settlement

OF the community has become so strong for
speedy settlement of the questions arising under
the applicat ton made by Mr.. Guden for the books
ard papers in my possession in the Sherfs
office, and for clear adjustment Of the ques-
tons that have arisen since. that have re-
auested my counsel to prepare the necessary
papers to present 70 the Appellate Division Of
the Supreme Court application for an early

is intended to make that application as soon
possible and it is my earnest hope that the re-
