The Herald is more interested in
good state and county government
than in political parties. 1t is evident.
however, that the only hope of relief
is through the Republican party this
year We have had a surfeit of local
Democratic management and the same
is true in state affairs and we all know
that Stimson is the nominee OF his
party through the grace and co-opera-
tion of Bob Speer with the corrupt
commissioners OF Arapahoe county.
As Tom Patterson says his election
means the destruction OF the Demo
cratic party. but while this is going
on the state will come in for its share
OF discredit which will rebound to the
injury of all.

1t is hard for a leopard to change
its spots. The new owners of the
Denver Times may be fair and may
think they are running an independ-
ent paper, but with such one-sided
views as those of Senator Patterson
it is utterly impossible to have an in
dependent Times and partisan News
and every issue plainly indicates that
the Times favors Democracy. 1t may
be opposed to one or two of the COM
missioners of Arapahoe county. but it
is saying very little about even this.
And the Post might just as well pull
in its horns about Independent poll
tics. 1t now and then, through space
writer's, gets in roast on some of
the Democrats, but edtorially every
thing favors the Democratic ticket.
Readers of the above papers, there
fore, especially Republicans, will
have to be careful or they will find
themselves taken in by the cry of in
dependency and run up against the
real thing.

Colorado must be saved! Teller
must be saved!! And the Democratic
state committee has decided that the
only possible way this can be done is
to secure the services of William J..
Bryan at 5000 per speech. 1t is well
known that Bryan no longer talks for
the fun of the thing but makes every
word add TO his bank account. This
was more than the Democrats believed
they could spare and only one or two
speeches were being planned when the
cry of distress was raised from many
points throughout the state with the
result that commencing October 10th,
at Grand Junction, Bryan will start
on weeks tour of the state on spe-
cial train, making a dozen or so
speeches a day where crowds can be
arranged for. Money for the speak
er has already been deposited and it is
not likely a special train will prove
expensive. Thus, once more. are the
people of Colorado to be urged by out
siders what they should do. They
have been urged by Bryan to vote fu
sion for years and the state is in great
distress as a result while La Plata
county is about bankrupt. But the
Democratic committee is up against it
and believes that by some chance
enough voters may be again fooled by
Bryan to save the day. We hardly
think so. Voters are doing a little
thinking on their own behalf this year

Electing a legislature simply in the
interests of some United States sena-
tor is becoming tiresome. The last
one sent Patterson to Washington and
we are fully convinced over half OF
the Democratic party and two-thrds
of the Populists are heartily ashamed
of their action. Teller is the cry this
fall and the interests of the state can
go to the dogs. Let us elect men who
will serve the state instead of some
political boss.

audience of between 400 and 500.

A Democrat from ihe Florida mesa
yesterday said his precinct would

Teller has crossed himself once
more. In the commencement of the
campaign he was an ardent supporter
of the Bucklin amendment and he
used his congressional frank to send
Bucklin literature through the mGils.
The old man now realizes that the
people as whole are against the
amendment and he turns around with
great ease and opposes the measure.
This only goes to show that Senator
Teller has no mind of his own at this
time but is led with the shifting
winds, willing to follow any crazy
scheme that comes up. This proves
that the senator made the remarks at
Central attributed to him by the
Rocky Mountain News and which
he allowed to stand until after he re-
ceived the Democratic endorsement at
the hands of the state convention
when he disavowed the same. 1t
seems as though the people of Colora-
do should see through the senator S
sham-that he is playing a make-shift
game in order to be returned to the
United States senate-being willing
to help out the disgraceiul state ad-
ministration and continue the same
old crew in Office to continue its sys-
tematic looting of state and county
funds. When we say looting, we
have direct proof in a recent letter
Of Charles S. Thomas to Auditor
Crouter to substantiate our assertion.

AT well attended meeting of the
members of the Oakland Club held
last Friday evening at the club rooms
it was the unanimous opinion of those
present that the organization should
be rehabilitated and placed on a firm
financial foundation.
The report of the financial officer
showed a net indebtedness of little
more than one hundred dollars. As
an offset to this the amount owed for
dues, etc, was found to be consid-
erably more than sufficient to dis
charge the indebtedness and leave
neat sum in the hands of the
treasurer. The amounts due the
club by the members will at once be
collected, the debts owed by the Or
organization discharged and the club
will again become what it originally
was intended to be-a means of plac-
ing before the country at large the
great natural advantages of Oakland
as a summer resort and to afford
means of amusement and intellectual
development to its members.
A movement was organized at this
meeting looking to the installation
in the club rooms of billiard and pool
tables for the use of members and Wis
itors. An amount of money has al
ready been subscribed for the purpose
and a paper soliciting subscriptions
from the membership to add to this
fund will be circulated this week.
AS result of the meeting Friday
night many new names have been
proposed for membership in the club
and it bids fair to become stronger
than ever.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr.. Fred. A. Thayer, the acting pres
ident. Among the leading members
present were Messrs. Scott T. Jones,
ID. E. Offutt, NJ. r. Hamill, r. E.
Sliger, William Weber, N. S. Heindel,
DR.. f. H. Bartlett, DIR. E. j. M. But
ton, j. G. Peddicord, E. H. Sincell
and a number of others.
At meeting of the board of gov
ernors held after the meeting of the
membership the resignation of Mr..
John T. Sincell as secretary was ten
dered and accepted and Mr.. James c.

zation is almost assured. The many
