d. b. Farley. chairman of the Re
publican state central committee, ar
rived from Colorado Springs last
evening accompanied by Arthur Corn
forth Mr.. Farley was met at the
depot by number of Republicans and
escorted to the Strater hotel. In the
evening he was greeted by a large
number of Republicans at the law of
fee of F. C. Perkins, there being rep
resentatives present from Monte
yuma, Dolores and San Juan counties.
Mr.. Farley brings encouraging re-
ports from all sections of the state
concerning the material welfare of
the Republican party which seems to
be coming to the front in every dis
trlct. largely owing to the maladmin-
istration OF the fusion Democracy the
past few years and more especially
the late misfit general assembly and
extra session. While conservative.
Mr.. Fairley's views are certainly en-
couraging to tie Republicans of this
section who have had a surfeit of leg
islation for the few at the expense of
the general public. This is Mr. Fair
ley's first visit to Durango and he is
