SLIPPED A COG;

The Herald received a communica-
tion from Democratic state headquar-
ters last evening asking that a vigor-
GUS campaign be waged against Simon
Guggenhelm, as by SO doing much
good would result for the Democratic
ticket Democratic state headquar-
ters, which means Tom Patterson.
asks that daily TRADE be kept up
against Mr.. Guggenheim In the hopes
of turning independent Republicans to
the Democratic ticket.
So, Mr.. Patterson. this is your
scheme for reelection. but in sending
out your requests you should be more
careful. We will tell you frankly that
If it was an issue between you, Mr..
Patterson, and Mr. Guggenheim, that
La Plata county would go for the lat
ter two to one as the voters of this
county would much prefer to be repre-
sented in the United Statees senate
by Mr. Guggenheim than the yellow
journalist who is responsible for so
many of the ills that befell our fair
state a few years ago under Orman-
ism. And the Herald desires to post
the voters of La Plata county that
every attack on Mr.. Guggenheim is
inspired by Mr.. Patterson who would
close every furnace in the state in
order to gain his point
Now as to Mr.. Guggenheim. He Is
not the issue in this campaign. The
Issue is whether Tom Patterson can
run the state; whether the people are
going to elect governor, a supreme
court and legislature that will do
Mr.. Patterson's will at every turn of
the road. This is the issue, Mr..
Reader. And we ask the question.
can you afford to have the peaceful
conditions now existing changed to
chaos? Can you, Mr., Voter, afford to
have Mr.. Patterson In the saddle
cracking the whip OF disorder? 1t is
a vital question-one that every prop
erty owner and every laboring man is
Interested in. Just consider the fact
that during the past two years
TWELVE MILLIONS Of DOLLARS
were paid laboring men in excess of
the previous two years OF strife in
putting down Pattersonism. Do you
want investments curtailed? Do you
want the wheels of progress checked!
II you do. take Mr.. Patterson for your
eader whose motto has been rule or
ruin from the time he assumed leader
ship.

THE NEW HALL At GOLDEN.

The dedication Of Guggenheim hall

step In the highly necessary work OF

The old halcyon bonanza days. which

The Herald does not for moment

The Herald does not for moment
believe the voters will turn down Tom
Graden for new man-someone they
do not know. No such chances should
be taken. Br Graden has been one
of us through trying times. His
money has helped every enterprise
and when 1T comes to pushing La
Plata county to the front Mr. Graden
has been among the leaders. Surely
the voters will not go back on such
a man of an unknown quantity.

The saloon interests that want a
wide open town won out in the Demo-
cratic convention. Even when Clark
received a majority of the votes cast
on the fourth ballot he was counted
out. The saloons had demanded AS
paas as the price of their support and
1t was Aspaas or nothing, hence Clark
had to be sacrificed. The Herald does
not for a moment believe the voters
will stand for this.
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1906-10-22

To do this there Is no greater Az
than a practical, well-equipped School

literally to such an institution is em-
Inently commendable.
The building of Guggenheim hall IL
Illustrates how its donor was called
upon to display true Western grit and
confidence in properly finishing what
he set out to do. He first gave the
school $4,000, for the erection OF such
building, as In the judgment OF Its
officers, was most needed. 1t was de-
cIded that an Administration hall.
costing $4,000. was best fitted to
meet the pressing needs OF the school.
SO Mr.. Guggenheim came forward
second time with an increase to his
donation. When the building was fin
ished, Mr.. Guggenheim saw that most
ofthe beenfit of his former gifts WAS
lost, IL 1t was not. furnished In better
style than the school exchequer could
stand, so he put up another $4,000 TO
complete the good work. These sue
cessive gifts resulted in the beautiful
Administration building, which is
worthy the praise of every citizen OF
the state, and amply justifies the
pride of its donor.
When 1t is formally dedicated, the
completed work will stand as sub
stantial addition to Colorados prac-
tical educational equipment, and a
fine sample of what Colorado man
does when he sets about exemplify-
ing the Vests steadfast spirit OF do

LET MR.. cosToN AND
MR.. REESE Answer

Mr.. Editor:
In the Democratic convention the
other day noticed that the principal
figures were w. A. Reese ard ]. p
Coston and that they wsro charged
with the heavy burden of protecting
the taxRyer from the CRATER and
against monopoly. They we're SO elo-
quent and dramatic that l was almost
stirred to join in the applause Of tSe
proxies" which their effort ELECTED.
But. Mr.. Editor. I would like to
know:
Whether this is the same Mr.. Coz
ton who collected from the city Of
Durango some 5000 for work which he
had done as county assessor, and for
which he had already been paid by
the county?
Whether the court of appeals hae
not long before that time decided that
the city was not liable for such ser
vices for the reason that the salary
provided by law and to be paid out
Of the county treasury expressly eov-
cred the services for whica this
charge was made?
Whether this Mr.. Reese was the
same Mr.. Reese. who. as city attor-
ney, approved the bill of Mr.. Coston,
in spite OF the decision that It was
unlawful?
Whether the intense admiration sx-
hibited by the two gentlemen for each
other had any relation y the matters
connected with the presentation ana
allowance of that bill?
Whether that Mr.. Coston is xHe
same Mr.. Coston who manages and
controls the La Plata Abstract OF IT,
tie company!
Whether that hstitution Is cor
poration chartered by the state:
Whether 1t has a monopoly Of he
abstract business OF this county?
Whether it has paid any taxes what
ever for either of tho years 1900. 1901,
1862 or 1908!
What - ths Anosat of its paid<a
capital stock as shown by the certiu-
Gates for paid-up stock filA By It!
At what valuation did this Mr.. Cos
ton, the assessor, assess that corpora
tlon which he controlled and man
aged, for the year 1905?
Did Mr.. Coston pay any military
poll or other tax during the years 1901,
1902, 1903 or 1904?
