THE SKIES ARE CLEARING.

DenNer, August ii, 1906.
The happenings of the last few
days have done much to clear the
skies so far as the Republican polit-
ical situation is concerned There
are now three avowed candidates in
the field for governor, and 1t is i'm
probable that there will be any more.
Mr. Swink and Mr.. Holmberg have
been in the field for some time, and
now Mr.. Stewart has entered the
race. Each will have a large following
In the state convention, and the
friends of each are confident of his
nomination. Mr.. Swink Is the faith
err of the Arkansas Valley" and has
great many friends among the farm
ers and ranchmen in all parts of the
state. Mr. Holmberg, after two terms
in Office, one as Auditor and one as
Treasurer, has also a large follow
ing. Mr. Stewart, though last in the
field. may not be last in the balloting,
for he will no doubt have behind him
the big Ell Paso county delegation
solid, and many votes from other
counties.
For the other Offices on the ticket,
there are candidates from all parts of
the state, thus insuring well-dis-
tributed ticket geographically.
1t is notable fact that all three
Of the candidates for the nomination
for governor are equally free from
corporate influence. Whoever is NOM
mated on the Republican ticket, the
Democratic papers will accuse him of
being the corporation candidate, and
declare that his nomination was made
at the dictation of the bosses. But
that does not cut any ice. Just now,
1t is Mr.. Stewart at whom the mud
batteries of the Patterson papers are
chiefly directed. but if either Mr..
Swlnk or Mr.. Holmberg should be
nominated, the abuse would be turned
| upon them, and II would be alleged
that they had made bargain with
| the trusts. Sensible Republicans will
pay no attention to these wholesale
| accusations. They have not been ac.
customed to make their nominations
in order to please the Democrats, and
| they are mt going to begin now. They
Will make their nominations to suit
| themselves, regardless of Democratic
criticisms, and will trust the people
of the state to have sense enough to
appraise the Democratic abuse at its
| proper value.
This Is prosperous year, and pros
| porous years are generally Republi
can years. Crops are good, money
Is plenty, everybody who wants a job
has one. 1t will be hard for the Dem
ocrats to convince the people that
there has been any "downtrodding" OF
the people in the last two years
When hard times come. when calam
ity is abroad in the land, then is the
Democratic chance; but when pros
perity Is rampant. when a Republican
administration has assured goot
times and made a creditable record
In Office, then calamity bowling does
not have much effect. The present
state administration has managed AT
fairs efficiently and economically
The state debt has been reduced, the
state revenues have been Increased
there has been peace and quiet, ant
everybody has gone about his bust
ness undisturbed. in the nation a
large, never has there been such
season of good times. President Roos
