A Family Affair

| When Mr.. Cardnell went before the
people five years ago seeking the of

that he was much in need of the in
come the office would produce His
daughter, very capable young lady.
canvassed the county in his interest
and with the same plea. The people
in their sympathy elected Mr.. Card
nell to the Office which his daughter
so capably filled until she decided
to exchange her position for that of
helpmeet of wealthy business man
of Glenwood Springs. Before takin
the all important step of her life she
worked into her place with the county
another member of the family, who
held the position until shortly before
the time that Mr.. Cardnell desired re
election, when THE FAMILY col
cluded it would be policy to deluC
the public by making a public pledge
that this member of the family would
not be the deputy in case of the re-
election of Mr.. Cardnell.
Mr. Cardnell was reelected under
this pledge, and the same member Cf
the family WAS made the deputy
clerk. Mr.. Cardnelrs second family
deputy is now sojourning in Califor.
mia, and the position is being held
down by THIRD MEMBER OF THE
FAMILY, who was imported from
Cripple Creek especially for the posi-
ton, and educated in the office at the
expense of the county, having no pre-
vious clerical experience. Truly, "a
political job is family snap" so far
as Mr.. Cardnell is concerned.
There are scores of worthy, com
petent, educated, clerical citizens in
this county of Garfield entitled to
these positions, and we see no reason
for importing and educating, at the
expense of the county, persons to fl.
them.

Thomas DOdgeS Issue

The people of Glenwood had the
opportunity last Saturday evening to
listen. to Charles S Thomas and 9th.
ers in behalf of the democratic ticket.
Mr.. Thomas omitted to place the
blame OF the outrages perpetrated in
Telluride and Cripple Creek, but said
''"he Western Federation has much
to learn, and as to the men deported
from Cripple Creek by the militia, he
says Il have nothing TO say, but it
is for you, (meaning the public, that
l am talking.
One of the features of the NEE ting
was the presence of Western Fedora
tion emissaries, who, it is claimed,
are following up the democratic ora
tors to keep things moving and except
for the alleged humorous occasions
when the audience was pleased, the
cheering was started by the camp fol.
lowers.
Another feature was the prolonged
applause that greeted the name of
President Roosevelt and Mr.. Thomas
was obliged to wait for moment
for the cheering to subside.
During the entire course of mis- re
marks, he had no word of sympathy
for the victims of the organization
which has learned much during the
past year from the hand of Governor
Peabody, and we trust all 1t will be
necessary 10 teach it. But Thomas
say 1t has much to learn"

ShdfrOth and O'DOnneII Speak

Honest John Shafroth, credited
with being the only honest man in
the party by the democrats them
selves, accompanied by T. J. o. Don
nell, one of the Denver "Tom'
quartette, will speak tonight at the
Opera house. Every ybody will remem-
ber how Shafroth relinquished his seat
in congress after the fraud was shown
conclusively and much to the chagrin
Of the Thomas Adams -Pattersonian
brand of democracy, who strongly
condemned him for acknow owledging the
fraud until he was kicked out of con
gress.
Whether John is really honest will
be proven to Glenwood people when
he speaks here for he will undoubted
ly discuss the state issue.
Will he explain whether or not the
Western Federation, the issue, is one
Of the heaviest contributors to the
campaign fund and what the organi-
zation expects in return, if it is a
contributor
Will he suggest some other motive
for the Independence explosion than
that the men killed were "scabs p
Will he state whether he believes
one member of any of the families
who suffered the loss of father,
brother, or son at the hands of the
Federation will or could be induced
to vote for Alva Adams?
Would you yourself, Mr.. Shafroth,
vote for Adams if you were similarly

AN AMERICAN

United States Government Approves
Plans OF Eugene GTubb For an
American Bred HOrSe--Ex-
pertinent to be made

Ever since the beginning of E H.
Gruob's candidacy for the state SEN
ate the Post has maintained tbat
Grubb could accomplish more for Col
ordo and Garfield, Eagle and Pitkin
counties as private citizen thsn L.
L Taylor could do as state senator
This is clearly demonstrated by Mr..
Grubb's successful efforts for the
State Agricultural college in securing
so, 900 annual appropriation from
the general government for the devel-
opement of distinctively western
breed of horses
The following statement of Glutb' $
work from the Denver Post should
convince every honest thikning voter
who is ambitions for the welfare of
his country that it is the part of wis
dom to palce Eugene H. Grubb in the
state senate where he will have the
increased advantage of the prcstage
which such position will bring in
order that he may accomplish moe
for his constituents than he has ever
yet done and more than his opponent,
E. T. Taylor, has ever dreamed of
doing.

That is what the wealthy people Of
the country want, and congress has

OF course, to the uninitiated. this
all sounds odd, but with the sanction

Poor Argument

The opponents of E. II. Grubb must
indeed be in great need of an issue
when they can find no better argu-
ment against him than
the fact that he is a
friend to ]. C. Osgood. When did it
become crime for citizen of Colo
RADIO to respect and admire the genius
and energy and indomitable persever-
ance of any man or set of men who,
undaunted by numerous failures final
ly brought about a successful system
of industrial life which gives to thous-
ands of working men in Colorado an
opportunity to earn good wages.
From whence came the edict that
to speak to man or to refrain from
abusing a man or corporation which
contributes to the output of our mines
and the prosperity of the state one
must be branded as a traitor to the
common people-the great Drawn and
muscle of this great state.
Can't the people see with but half
an eye that they are being played for
dupes by Ed T. Taylor, who by sar-
casm would divert the minds of the
people from the real issue? The fact
Is, Eugene Grubb has accomplished
more for Colorado out of the senate
than Ed Taylor has during five years
in the senate. Give Gene Grub5 the
opportunity which Taylor has had and

DEMOCRATS DRIVEN
TO DESPERATION
Fake Telegram Sent East Brings
Out Strong Letter From Chair
man Farley Who Warns
Public Against DEM
OCrdtI Lies

The democrats are driven TO desper-
alton at the splendid outlook for re-
publican success which now confronts
them and as usual are now springing
sensational reports which they know
to be absolutely false and publishing
fake kilograms which have not and
never have had any basis or founda-
tion whatever.
The latest effort in this line was a
so-called telegram by Chairman Fair
ley in regard to the situation in Col
orado. Mr.. Farley has branded the
story as fake pure and simple, and
by way of denial has issued the fol
lowing statement:

Central committee. today issued the
following statement:

test in Colorado will be decided |

the results most confidently, after a
thorough study of the situation:
Reports are daily pouring into
this office from every section of the
state, showing an extraordinary
change of sentiment, and growing
determination on the part of voters to
endorse and support the Roosevelt and
Peabody policies.

opposition, which have ranged from
the misstatements of official figures
and the forgery of my name to fake

fake sensations which they expect tc

From now until the close of the
polls on November 8 the friends of

Scientific Breeding

the present time, has developed but
two distinct types of animals. The
first was the lard hog, a distinctively
American product, and the other is
the standard bred trotter, which was
developed by American breeders from
the old thoroug hbred horse imported
from England All other of our do
nestle animals were imported from
the Old World and, while the breed

Big Republican Rally

One of the best and most successful
political meetings held in Glenwood
in many day was that of last Mon
day evening when Hon. Herschell M
Hogg, congressman from the second
district and Hon. S. D. Crump, of
Cripple Creek, addressed large au-
dience at the opera house.
Judge Beardsley presided at the
meeting and introduced Mr. Crump
as the first speaker. Mr., Crump ex-
planned as few can do the inhuman
and intolerable conduct of the West
ern Federation in the Cripple Creek
district and showed in way that none
can deny the absolute necessity of

er to the end that American citizens
might be protected in their rights to
labor for livelihood and to insure
that peace and protection which is
guaranteed to all under the constitu-
ton
Judge Hogg was at his best and his
audience was enthusiastic over his
remarks. He dwelt at length upon
national issues, showing the great

than the question of what shall be-

Treasury Department Exercises
Customary Leniency in Case
ofMarechaI de Noailles.
VIOLATED THE HEALTH LAWS
Failed to Bring Consular Bills
of Health From Germany
Other Marine News
of Interest.

As was expected, the treasury de-
partment has RENTED the fine OF
$4,000 imposed in the case of the
French bark Marechal de Noailles,
which recently arrived from Ger
many, via Valparaiso, without
duplicate consular bills of health.
When the bark reached Astoria and
filed her manifest but one consular
bill was attached. Investigation
disclosed the fact that the vessel
had failed to comply with the
United States law governing mat
ters of the kind, AMI the collector
of customs, who had no alternative,
imposed the fine prescribed by law,
$4,000.
The acting master of the vessel
appealed the case to Washington.
He explained to the treasury Off
cials that he had secured duplicate
bills upon leaving Bremerhaven ;
that the captain of the vessel be-
came i'll during the voyage and
that the vessel was compelled to
put in at Valparaiso so the master
could go to the hospital. At Val
paraiso the consul, who should have
provided the vessel with supple
mental bill of health, took from her
papers one of the two originals is
sued at Bremerhaven. The acting
master, being unfamiliar with the
law, sailed from Valparaiso fol-
this port with only one of the orig
inal bills.
The department yesterday mott
fed the collector OF the port that
the fine had been remitted. The
violation was purely a technical
one, due largely to the action OF
the consul at Valparaiso, and the
department followed the usual pro
cedure in cases of the kind. The
fine is provided more for the pur.
pose of impressing upon masters
the need of observing our health
regulations than to mulct then
when they are guilty of technical
violations, and lenlency is invar
iably shown.
