A travelling man remarked to
Charley Stilwell at the Strater hotel
that he had got more good out of the
Denver Times this morning than he had
ever got before. Charley inquired how
that happened, and the guest replied
that he had stuck it in the stove and
burned it while he was dressing. 1t
heated an area of couple of square
feet for minute or two. and although
not very satisfactory as heat pro-
ducer, it was warm stuff for a short
time

The Democrats are very much wor-

The Herald can easily see why a
Democrat should vote for Lindsey.
The thinking man must see at a
glance that Adams Is the tool of Tom
Patterson, the trouble-breeder. But
there Is no excuse for Republicans

made than Chancellor Buchtel and

The fact that the present Republi-

along on an appropriation OF SOS. 900

The columns of the Herald are open
to Mr. Coston for an explanation OF
way the assessment of his abstract

The fact that Senator Patterson
forced Adams to allow the Democratic
candidates for the legislature to re-
main on the Lindsey ticket, although
Patterson with clenched fist and
threats had forced the candidates on

his assertion that he will not be
candidate for reelection to the United
