CLIMAX IN TROUBLE

NEW YORK. Dec. 24-The agitation
against Christmas celebra tions In the

found its climax today when parents.
guardians and other protectors of Jewish
children, strongly urged and supported by
certain East Side newspapers, kept their

schools on the East Side reported a de-

Chief Secretary for Ireland
Makes Ready for New Posi-
tiOn at Washington.
APPOINTMENT is CERTAIN
BUT NOT YET ANNOUNCED
Successor to Sir Mortimer Du.
rand Is Not Now Unknown
Diplomatic Circles.

LONDON. Dec. 24.-James Bryce, this
retiring Chief Secretary for Ireland, who
is 10 succeed Sir Mortimer Durand as
British ambassador at Washington, is ar
ranging to leave for the United States In
about three or four weeks. In the mean
time he has started on tour for the pur-
pose OF closing up his business affairs.
conferring with the Lord Lieutenant. the
Earl Of Aberdeen, concerning the transfer
OF Irish affairs. Then Mr.. Bryce Will
visit his constituents at Aberdeen, return
Ing later to London in order to close up
his residence and hold a final conference
with Foreign Secretary Grey concerning
Anglo-American questions before sailing
II is hardly probable that Mr.. Bryce
will again enter the Irish office, as his
desk Is cleared and papers are being ad-
lions for Mr.. Bryce's departure for Wash
lnSton are proceeding. although his ap-
pointment as Embassador has not yet
been officially announced:
The early departure OF Sir Mortimer
Durand's successor is designed 10 give
the latter several weeks in Washington
prior 10 the adjournment OF Congress,
thus permitting a renewal of the ac-
quainrance made on the occasion OF his
last visit, when he was given the privilege
OF the floor OF the House OF Representa-
tiveS and was Invited TO occupy seat
at the Speakers desk.
GULL SlSOloQo
The personal appearance OF Mr.. Bryce
has considerable changed since then, his
iron gray hair and close-cropped beard
having turned white. However. this has
not aged him perceptiby, as he continues
to display those striking appearances OF
intellectual vigor and engaging PERSONAL
ity which have given him the reputation
of being one Of the most agreeable nota-
bles in England
The closing OF Mr.. Bryce's London
home points TO the probability that Mrs
Bryce WILL accompany her husband TO
Washington Mrs. Bryces grandmother
was an American. and she preserves
many American characteristics and as
soclations.
Up 10 the present time the Bryces
have moved rather more among intelec-
tual than fashionable society. They have
not entertained extensively, although
since Mr. Bryce has been a member OF
the Cabinet Mrs. Bryce's Cabinet recep-
tions have been notable for their geniali-
ty.
The opinion is growing stronger In Off
cial and diplomatic circles here that Mr.
Bryce Will be named head OF the British
delegation to the next Hague peace con-
ference, and IL is pointed out that this
will be another evidence of Great Brit
aims desire to cooperate with the United
States, as Mr. Bryce's presence in Wash
tngton prior TO going to The Hague will
permit OF an arrangement for the per-
formance OF a joint policy there.

The Delta independent., 1906-11-02
Senator DeLone.

That Delta county will give Senator
DeLong fine vote is conceded on all
sides. His opponent, Mr.. Stewart of
this city, is most excellent young
man and the INDEPENDENT esteems him
for his manly qualities and so do the
people. But Mr.. Stewart could do the
counties of Mesa and Delta little good
in the senate. In the first place he is
inexperienced in legislative bodies and
it cannot be denied that the longer the
service of legislator, if he be the
right kind of man, the larger his influ-
ence and the more he can accomplish
for his constituents.
Mr.. DeLong has been in the senate
two terms. He understands the tricks
of politicians and he knows the ave-
nues bill must travel before it will be
recorded as law. Mr.. DeLong is known
bv the members of the senate as man
of fearless character and possessed of a
great fund OF knowledge and brains.
They respect him. for they have seen
him stand almost alone fighting his own
party because he felt that he was in
the right They know he can neither
be bought nor bribed. 1t is certainly
privilege for any senatorial district to
be represented by such man and that
he is in a position to do more for his
constituents than a new member could
possibly do cannot be questioned.
But Mr.. DeLong possesses other quail
tiles that should commend him to the
Intelligent voters of Delta county. He
is one of the best speakers we have
heard in the state. 1t was the privilege
of the writer to hear the address he de-
livered in the Read school house two
weeks ago and it is no exaggeration to
say that it was mastery effort Alb
solutely truthful in all statements, fair
and considerate of political opponent,
at times eloquent and backed by fund
of knowledge on public questions rarely
excelled by political speaker. he made
an address that we doubt very much
has been excelled in the state of Colo
RADIO during this campaign. He is un-
doubteily an opponent worthy OF any
steel in debate and this quality. coup
led with purity of character, honesty of
purpose, and a desire to serve his con-
shtuents with industry and persever-
ance makes of him the ideal legislator.
Vote for Horace T. DeLong next
Tuesday and you put the stamp of ap-
proval on a man who stands for the
right, regardless of opposition and who
has the ability to carry his convictions
and your wants to successful issue.
