TIE White House was so named by
ashngton who called it after the
house 10 which he courted his wife. 1t
was built 10 the middle of a wilderness
and was surrounded by fallen and rot
ting trees of which Mrs. Monroe wrote,
"there is not wood to keep the house
warm though it is in the midst of woods "
The plan for the house was made By a
man named Hoban who modelled it after
the Irish Duke of Leinster's country
home. For many years it was called
"The Executive Mansion" but as soon
as President Roosevelt was installed he
directed that it be called simply the
white House"

THE ADAMS BLUFF.

The attorneys for Gov. Adams be
fore the contest committee have been
making great bulff at defense ever
since the case for Gov Peabody was
closed. They have been at 1t four days
and in that time the net result of all
their efforts is seen in 30 ballots saw
ed for Adams out of the great mass
of over 5000 shown to be fraudulent
or of doubtful authenticity
They have introduced AZ witnesses
TO testify in regard to the validity OF
643 votes in eleven different precincts,
and with all the testimony of all these
witnesses, concerning all these bal
lots, they have been able 10 rescue,
to drag back to shore. only 50.
Al this rate they will be a lone time
proving that the thousands of ballots
shown by competent witnesses to be
fraudulent were in fact cast by genu-
inc voters authorized TO vote in the
precincts where the ballots We're
| counted.
This scant cleaning was the result
of t'neir best work in what for them
is the most favorable part Of the city
They did not get down into the 17wsr
wards and lower precincts where Big
Mitt methods have prevailed for wears
and were the agents of that ors1ni-
zation revel in crime on election dav.
lrstead Of going to the typically Big
Mitt precincts, they went into .-~e
| respectable part of the city and there
mangaged TO scare up only 35 persons
who We're able to indemnity that n m
ber of ballots out OF a total of 643 ex-
amined and inquired into
In the slum precincts they would
+, have failed TO find a single legal and
honest voter to identify a ballot be
clared by the experts to be frar,lulsn,
| They kept out of that part Of the
in the more respectable wards in or
| der to influence public sentiment Al
the beginning of their defense But
| they have fallen down so completely
tnat they will hardly have the assur-
| ance to carry their bluff much further
| The Democrats profess TO argue that
since 35 out of 643 ballots were iden-
! llntus liltItltIt lHe experts were III li-
| taken in regard to practically the er-
tire 5000 or more shown to be fraud
ulent or of exceedingly doubtful au-
thenticity.
The fact that so very few ballots
We're identified out of t1e large num-
her examined and concerning which
witnesses weTs introduced is the
strongest kind Of evidence that the
experts were well qualified and capa-
BILE men. 1t shows that they were in
fact experts and that they did moi
| slight their work. If they had been
wrong in regard to more of the bal
lots examined. It would have tlan
easy fer the lawyers representing Gov.
Adams TO show II by producing the
persons whose ballots were involved.
They completely failed in four DAYS
to save in this way more than 35 bal
lots in part of the city where much
less crooked work was done in pro
portion TO the number of votes cast
than in the slum districts where the
Big Mitt is at home From this. fair
minded people can form an estimate
of how complete the breakdown of
the defense will be when the contest
| is closed.--Denver Republican.
