Judge o'ron on Issue. of Campaign.

+ Judge Dixon, onerof the most
iogiea and forceful political orators
OF the day. addressed large and en-
thusiastic audience at the La Junta
Theater last Wednesday evening ON
the ISSUES of the campaign. Judge
Dixons 5 address was divided into
three sections stolen governorship,
the supreme court. and the alleged
corporation domination of the re-
publican party. The judge is ia.
miiiar with the details of every po-
iitical issue that has arisen in Colo
rado since the birth of this state.
and he showed conclusively that in
the present campaign the democrat.
&c party has not a leg to stand on,
Ever since Colorado was a state the
democrats have been guilty of steal.
ing offices seats in congress. seats
in the United States senate. and
various and sundry political Jobs
times without number. In the very
first election held in the state OF
Colorado. Thomas NJ. Patterson an.
proprlated a seat in congress te
which Samuel Belford was rightfull,
elected. The Judge thought tht
democracy of this state should TAX,
unto themselves the biblical iniunc
ton. let him who is without sir
cast the first stone"
Tbs address was punctuatee
throughout with wit. logic and un.
answerable argument. In closing
Judge Dixon paid a high compli.
rnent to the citizenship of otero
county, with which he has been more
or iess associated during his twelve
Years on the bench. He expressed
great regret that the pleasant rela-
tons were to be soon severed upon
his retirement in January next. and
that his visits to Otero COUNTY
which he had grown to love. wouId
be less frequent.

C. C. Opdyke, the Santa Ee yard
master. charged with appropriati1g
two carloads of coal from the Santa
Fe and selling the same to the Ii
Junta Ice Company, was acquitted
in the district court last Friday. The
verdict was great surprise to most
people, as it was generally thought
that the prosecution had a cinch.
They failed to make a case. however,
and the jury brought in verdict of
not guilty after being out less than
half an hour. The verdict was
greeted with cheers by large audi
ence in attendance. which caused
Judge Voorhees, to administer a Sc
we're reprimand. remarking that it
was the first time in twelve years
that he had witnessed such demon
stration in his court room. Opdyke
was released from custody on $500
bond furnished BY his brother-in-law.

OF socialism, was a La Junta visitor
last Tuesday. and in the evening adj
dressed an audience Of 100 people al

descanted upon the beauties Of so-
cialisEn. and was evidently willing TO
give a written guarantee of its efii-
eaey a 4 panaeea for all the Ills that
aesh Is heir to. According TO his
theory. socialism simply means the
dawn Of the millennium which most
of Us have read of or had faint Wis
lone IN o1r dreams. Mr. Dehs
COMPARED William D. Haywood rs =
martyr Ike unto Jesus Christ. the
per=ecutei. ard savior of the world.
That was a little strong for some
people. and his address would have
pleased u great many more than it
did had that comparison never been

Look out for democratic news

leaders and candidates. which are
being circulated through the
democratic press. These fabriea-

I'll the campaign closes. Samples
of these inventions are found in the
report that President Roosevelt is
opposed TO the ticket in this state.
and that the railways are furnishing
the Prosperity Special" free of
cost.
Both of these statements are alb
solutely false. The president is
very much interested in the success
of the party in this state. and Secre-
tary Taft. his personal representa-
tive. will speak in Denver on Novem-
Der lst. il it is at all possible for
him to do so and meet his Idaho en-
