DR.. McCapes appointed state veterinarian by
a Democratic governor from Clear Creek county,
Siftings was so pleased with the recognition of
good man, regardless of politics. that it run his
halftone with nearly half page of mention The
little narrow nickel-in-th -the-sot spirit that would
prompt newspaper to ridicule recognition of this
character, not to mention it at ALL is too narrow
for Siftings and with pleasure that it is
narrow for Editor Clarke. 1t reminds one of the
selfish scurvy cur that is afraid shake itself for
fear the other dog will get some of its fieas.

Mr.. Haggott will gain friends by the conduct
of these papers. although they do not appear to
realize it. The people are not warped as badly in
political sense as some of the editors think they
are. A man who has always conducted himself as
a and a citizen and neighbor will, naturally
have those who his enemies, but the great ma
ority of the people are his friends and will vote
for him because he is home and can accom-
plsh something for the county.

would like to see a rousing Swedsh-American
club organized in the city in honor of John A.
Holmberg, the candidate for state auditor. I have
known him personally for eight years and know
that as a gentleman he is the salt of the earth
The people of that nationality were honored by
his place the ticket and he in turn is an honor
and the nationality to which he belongs demands
recognition A Swedish American Republican
club would help to enliven the campaign and the
friends of the loyal Mr.. Holmberg could accom-
plish great deal for him in the county through
such an organization.

The Democrats are having great deal to say
about the trusts. The following clipped from the
ST. Louis Globe Democrat ought to furnish them
int Cd
two years ago that the Democrats against the
antitrust bills would come up to confound them in
subsequent canvasses. Their record will be brought
against them in this canvass. When the Republi-
cans just before the beginning of the campaign of
1900, proposed an antitrust amendment to the con-
stitution the Democrats opposed it by virtually
solid vote. The House of Representatives on June
l. 1000, by vote of I54 to 1872, passed joint
luton for the submission of antitrust consttu-
tinnal amendment to the people, but this not
the needed two-thirds, and the resolution failed.
Every Republican except two voted for the reso-
luton. Every Democrat except one voted against
the resolution. Here a direct exhibition of
the position of the Republicans and the Democrats
on the question of the regulation of the trusts
The Republicans in favor of regulation. The
Democrats were against it. All the Missouri men,
bers, of course, except Bartholdt Pearce and Joy
ment to curb the trusts. DeArmond and several
others of the Missourians spoke against that
amendment as well as voted against it. The Globe
Democrat warned these persons that this record
would come up in the future to bother them. 1t
is bothering them very seriously in the of
1902 Whenever a Democrat prates about his
hostility to the trusts he is confronted with the
vote of his party in the summer of 1000 against
measure designed to effectively curb the trusts
This was not the only in which the Democrats
in recent times opposed legislation intended to
bring the trusts under governmental control The
Republicans tried to accomplish this by act of
Congress, but here, too, they were hampered by
the Democrats. Every Republican president since
the trusts have into existence has taken
ground in favor of their regulation. President
Roosevelt did this in his message last December
to Congress and in many addresses since then.
The only act ever placed the national statute
book against the trusts was passed by a Republican
Congress in 1890 and signed by Republican pres
ident, Gen. Harrison. The Democrats record in
opposition to trust Legislation will hundreds
of thousands of votes against their party in Ioo2

Senator Bucklin is to speak in Idaho Springs
early in October and the people should turn out
and hear him. A friend of mine said this week:
"When Bucklin comes we want to see to it that he
has no crowd at all. This is the best way to get
rid of that Glass; The who said this ought
to be ashamed of himself. I have heard the same
man howl by the hour because he said he not
permitted to say that he was opposed to Bryan.
The two ideas do not join very we'll. If Senator
Bucklin comes 1 hope he will have good aud
fence and that he will be entertained in royal
sryle. Every man has right to his ideas. 1 have
known Senator Bucklin personally since the
sion of the legislature of 1897. He stated then
