CALLS US down.
Editor Kingwood Argus:

Eultor hlnSWoou Argus:
Dear Sir:-I notice clipping
from your paper being somewhat
extensively copied in Republican
organs throughout the State, start
ing off with this remark: 1--WE frank
ly admit that we were not a Parker
man and that he was not our choice
for the presidency, etc.
About the only ammunition Re-
publican organs have for the pre-
sent campaign is Unsatisfactory
utterances of Democratic organs,
such as the above, supplying them
with. It's toothsome morsel for
them and they roll it about and
suck upon it to hide their grovel-
ling servitude of the so called strenu-
Gus character that bids them hope
for victory because he succeeded
in chloroforming the delegates sent
to Chicago into doing his will re-
CARELESS of a strong sentiment or
undercurent that was in a rebelli-
Gus mood. Didn't it occur to you
as the most needless expense, TO
say nothing of the Illuminating feat
ures, to send delegates all the way
to Chicago to ratify what Roose-
Welt had willed should be ?
You say eve were not Parker
man"-rather an admission that 1--WE
are Parker man now" The adj.
mission IS hardly to be commended
in Democratic paper, especially
after the intelligent expression of
opinion that prevailed in St. Louis.
large majority Of which decided
upon Mr. Parker for standard bear.
eL
What do you know against Mr..
Parker
From personal acquaintance
with him extending over a period Of
thirty years might tell you many
things in bis favor. Most Of them.
however have already been told in
the press Of the country to which
you doubtless have access.
The fact remaining that Demo
Gratis have a candidate Of whom no
word Of reproach can be uttered.
either as to his public or private
career, is no particular reason why
Democratic papers should furnish
the enemy with such ammunition
as you have probably, thoughtlessly
given uttersncs 90. Don't buoy the
enemy but fight them and a victory
is assured the Parker and Davis
banner. Help to put West Virginia
in the Democratic column rather
than boost the Republicans 20 the
roost they have so long usurped.
BE loyal to the principles Of true
Democracy and you need have no
fear bu; Alton 3. Parker will man
fully uphold the standard. Let our
State be true to her delegates who
were the first to change their votes
70 the Parker column when bis
nomination vas assured on the first
ballot. {. r. ].

Inc Democrats of this country
may as well give up trying to stop
the Republican lie tina. the Wilson
German tariff bill Of 1904 was re-
sPonsible for the panic Of 1903.
We may deny aud vociferate our
denial until we are black in the face,
that a tariff bill can be retroactive
and can not go back one year and
bring on panic that started a year
before it was in existence, because
every time we do, the Republicans
will add few more billion dollars
loss which occurred in that panic.
There never was anything so idiot.
cally silly as the statement made By
Republicans that every tariff bill
passed by Democrats brought com.
mercial disaster The Republicans
we're responsible for the tariff bill
If tariff bill can produce anything
IN the way Of commercial depres.
sion-which occasioned the dread
depression in the panic Of 1874,
and for the panic Of 1903, because
the Mckinley Bill was then in sc-
tive operation and had absolutely
Quilted the Treasury. The tariff
wall had been placed so high that
il absolutely paralyzed barter and
exchange and trade and commerce
Nothing could come in and there

people cannot sell, they will not buy
Any man who says that the Demo.
cratic party was responsible through
The Wilson German tariff bin for
the hard times in this country that
began in 1903 is an idiotic ass and
writes himself down one ia the esu.

this nation. Nevertheless Repubr-
cans go on making the assertion
stronger and broader each dsy.

it, call him liar and prove il

Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson Hurt.

While Mr.. and Mrs. Leroy Wilson
were returning last Sunday afternoon
from the home of Hon. d. E. New
comb where they had been guests at
dinner, the neckyoke broke, letting
the buggy tongue down and frighten.
ing the team which ran away. The
buggy was capsized, throwing the oc-
cupants out and rolling over on top of
Mrs. Wilson, bruising her terribly
while Mr.. Wilson was rendered un.
conscious by his fall. Upon being
brought TO town and an examination
of their injuries made, it was dis.
covered that neither of them suffered
any broken bones although Mrs.
Wilson is SO seriously bruised that it
is feared she will never regain full
use of her arm and shoulder. Mr..
Wilson was badly bruised and quite
severely cut up but his injuries are
such that he will entirely overcome
in time. The only miracle in con-
nection with the accident, is that
they were not both instantly killed.

Will Mr.. w. O. Mieir Explain ?

MANAssA, Colo, Oct. 1S, 1904.
EDITOR LA JARA CHRONICLE,
Sm:-For my own information aud
for that of others similarly interested
wish to be enlightened on the working
and standing of The Conejos Oil Co.
About 1S months ago stranger ap-
peared in Conejos Co. named w. O..
Mieir, some said lie came from Den
Yer, some from Kansas and others
from Missouri, but 1t makes little diff
ference where he came from, for when
he got here he saw oil in our post
holes, oil in our irrigating bitches and
oil in our dirt. His duty to suffering
humanity was plain, be knew the
ropes; he had been there before; he
would promote an oil company and
let the poor ranchman and merchant
make themselves rich. Now this was
creditable to say the least in stranger
from Missouri. All strangers from
Missouri don't do that way. Visions
of spouters and gushers and trips to
Europe and Jerusalem were seen in
dreams at night and in day dreams
while wearily holding the handles of
his old Oliver Chill. The poor over
worked wife would steal away from
her weary toll long enough to open
the old chest to take peep at that
government bond-looking oil stock and
bless the day that the stranger from
Missouri saw the oil in the post hole.
Now Mr.. Editor why is this stranger
from Missouri going to leave US and
go to Denver aud be senator2 Why
don't he send Braiden? Braiden
would make just as good senator if
the stranger from Missouri had an an
nual. I came pretty near forgetting
what started out to ask you to do:
Will you please see the Conejos Oil
Co. and ask him when he is going to
have stockholders meeting? Do
the directors in an oil company hold
office for life? Rockefeller does.
Did the state of Colorado pay Mr..
Conejos Oil Co. $4,000 for putting a
hole in the ground in Manassa 500
feet deep? In short what has become
of the scheme and the money? Will
you please publish the last annual
statement? Truly yours,
O. /. l..
