Judge, though he hasn't back bone
enough TO do any judging in the
ewart-Gabbert controversy, slyly
intimates that Gabbert ought to 90
back 10 the populIsts. Gabbert IL
right where he belongs He has for
years made republican law, gained
republican favors and applause by
bis official rulings, aud II is fit and
proper that he should be the re-
publican nominee for the greatest
and most responsible office IN the
gift OF the people Of Colorado, for
he is a republican by nature, as his
leaninss and rulings have amply
proven. He is no popullst and is
now in his popular element.
In the face Of most bitter hatred
by the corporation party leaders in
New York state, the unanimous call
Of the people Tor nomination Of VII
liam Randolph Hearst compelled
them to give him that honor. Hearst
treated Tsmmany with contempt,
fgurately slapped the lace Of Hill
Jerome, Cleveland and the whole
bunch OF stalvarts On the repub-
lican side as well, the bosses were
thrown down and Chas f. Hughes,
the noted prosecutor OF insurance
companies nominated lie is a good
man, but chances are heavily in fav-
or of Hearst. Mr. Bryan has announc-
ed that he will take the stump for
him in New York state.

Here is Roosevelts character as
given by Mr. Dooley: "Thaydore
Rosenfelt; excellent man Of all wur-
ruk, honest, sober. but a little quar-
relsome Sometimes tries too hard
to please all his employers at wunst;
wants to do too much FIR thin at other
times an has been known to com

Adams, in his MontrO.e Press saws
that the democrats have lost heart
and renominated Judge Stevens
without any enthusiasm. He pro-
fesses to believe that Sprigg Shackle-
ford of Gunnison will win the dis
trict Judgeship. Charley always
was an optimistic cuss Thirteen
years ago we landed in Gunnison
and almost Immediately the cam
paign opened In a moment Of edi-
torial confidence, privately express
ed, Charley told us, and produced
facts to prove it, that the democrats
had not sign of chance to win.
We remember how discouraged We
were Here we had picked out Gun
nison for a lighting place and found
it solid republican. Lord, we were
disappointed But as weeks rolled
around we sort Of gained faith that
possibly Charley was not good
guesser. Sure enough when the re-
turns came in every democrat but
one had landed by good majorities.
There is no more show for SpriSC
Shack leford TO win this election than
