Now Up To Senator Teller and frs.
UrenfelI.

Congressman Brooks has the following
to say in regard to proven frauds in the
election of 1902 which influenced Mr..
Shaforth to resign his congressional seat:
81 cannot see how people of the per-
sonal characteristics Of Senator Teller
and Mrs. Grenfell can occupy position
secured under similar conditions, or can
fail to take the same action MIR. Shaforth
has taken. They cannot be considered
otherwise than in the light Of partakers of
the fruits of fraud which no one now, for
a moment, considers them to be parties
to, or previously aware Of. 1t seems to
me that they owe it to their hitherto un-
blemished regulations and to the honor OF
the state to follow Mr.. Shaforth's manly
and upright course"

Rocky Ford is dull because the saloons

Hon. John F. Shafor;h was supposed
to have been elected by the Democracy Of
t1e First Congressional district il No

election and was recognized BY the House
as one Of Colorado's representatives.
Tho election in Denver that year was
characterized by gross frauds by the
Democratic party. Robert sonyngc. Mr..
ShafForth's opponent at the polls. contest
ci the election. When the election papers
were forwarded to Washington an exam
ination Of them proved that most daring
frauds had been perpetrated on an enor-
mous scale. Mr.. Shaforth at once re-
pldated these frauds, resigned his place
and Mr.. Bonyngo was seated. As Sona-
tor Teller was elected by the same con-
spiraey which Mr.. Shaforth now aeknow-
ledges as fact. Mr.. Teller cannot with
any consistency retain his seat. Should
he try to do so there will be strenuous
effort made to unseat him-and it ought
to win.

Tho death Of Senator Hanna removes
from American political circles a man
OF commanding ability ard high character.
His rise To political Psomlasnss was rspld

The lecture of Hon. James F. Carey at
the opera house on Tuesday evening on
The Future Of Socialism was an ora
tcrical treat. MIR. Carey has been mem
ber Of the Massachusetts legislature for
several terms and is forcefu and pol
ished speaker. His lecture dealt largely
with the existing evils in Industrial and
governmental affairs for all Of which he
offered socialism as sure cure. He dealt
mainly in generalizations and did not get
down to the details OF the proposed prac-
teal workings Of socialism. He presented
an ideal future under socialism. but failed
TO show that his theory was in harmony
with human nature-a force which must
be reckoned with in handling the every
day affairs of this busy world. He
skipped the hard places. leaving many
questions in the minds Of his audience as
to how his plausible theories ws,e to be
put in practice. Nevertheless. it was a
very interesting lecture.

Harmony In the Party.

The great success and the notable en-
thusissm which attended the opening Of
the home Of the Republican club and later
the banquet in hoHor Of Abraham Lincoln
demonstrated that whatever disaffeetion
may eEis. in Republican ranks is confined
TO very small number Of persons who
are prompted by considerations that have
but remote connection with party af-
fairs.
The large number Of representative
Republicans from diiiersn, parts Of the
state outside of Denver who attended the
banque, and the opening Of the olubrooms
testified 10 the harmonious spiri, which
prevails among members Of the party who
are removed from the influence Of con-
sidera,iOns local TO this city. The party
in the state is practically unanimous in
support Of the regular organization in
connection with which the new club was
formed and under the auspices Of which
the banquet WAS given.
This Is cheering news To all who hope
for Republican success and in order 10
achieve Z, arc willing TO sink purely per-
sonsl OF business considerations for the
welfare Of tho organization as a whole.
Il indicates that the party will get togeih-
sr Tor the coming presidential Campaign
ard stick together to the end Of the fight
This is as il should be. There can be
no hope Of Republican success without
party harmony and the most cordial CO.
operation on the p.r Of all members Of
the organization. There is special need
Of cooperation in Denver. for here there
has been tho most dissiIsetion and the
strongest disposition on the part OF few
members 10 break away from party al
lesianes. In tho contest for the control o,
tho local government, which sooner or

done with the proposed new charter. tho

JULY 4TH.

Boston, Feb. 1s.-In an endeavor TO
change the present method Of celebrating
the Fourth Of July. several representa-
tives OF patriotic societies appeared be-
fore the legislative committee on mercap-
tile affairs today in support OF four blS.
two OF which prohibit not only cannon
crackers and toy pistols, but seek to
suppress all noise.
The others are less radical. The hear
ing was therefore divided into two parts,
the radical bills being taken UP first. The
suppression OF all noise and the suDsu-
tuition OF entertainment for the young
were the features of this portion or the
hearing. -
The second hearing was more eNtenM,d,
and several women representing the
Daughters Of the American REVOLUTION.
the Colonial Danes, the Daughters OF
the Revolution and the two Revolutionary
societies for men were the principal
The features which they advocated APP
piled to the toy pistol, blank cartridge
and the so-oalled modern cannon crack
ers, one of the provisions being the pro-
hibition OF crackers exceeding three
inches I'm length and one-half inch In
diameter.
