message sent to Mr.. Vincent, if as
alleged, he was ignorant of the
extent to which smelter trust
money operated to secure his
election. Personally. we do not
believe that Mr.. Vincent was a
party to the deal, because if he
had have been we think he would
have supported Guggenheim.
Those republicans who profess
such deep detestation of corrup-
ton in politics, who declaim
against buying senatorships and
who laud Mr.. Vincent for cour-
ageously detying the cabal of cor
rupt managers who forced an il
legal caucus upon the members
elect, should unite in passing
some more resolutions, and as a
draft of appropriate expression of
their feelings we suggest the fol-
lowing:
RESOLVED. That we, loyal repub-
licans resident in Delta county,
do most emphaticaily 'denounce
E Mathews, our county chair
man, and Geo Stephan. our secre-
tary OF the county committee, for
accepting the funds of Simon
Guggenheim and using them in
the interests of our late county
ticket, knowing as they must have
known, that such action would
embarrass our representative and
IN the minds OF some create the
impression that he had been a
party to a corrupt action. or on
the other hand had betrayed the
confidence of the man who had
furnished the money to elect him.
RESOLVED, Further that we call
upon the above chairman and sec
retarv OF the Republican County
Central Committee to tender their
designations at an early date, to
the end that officers more in
touch with the spirit of the party
may be appointed in their stead.
RESOLVED, That copy of these
resolutions be furnished both of

Guggenheim for the position to
which he is now sure of election.
Mr.. Beezley affirms that Mr.. Vim
cent refused to be bound and
frankly admitted that he was op-
posed to Mr.. Guggenheim for
senator. This was all very cred
table to Mr.. Vincent, and we
were glad to know that he kept
his hands clean even in the cam
paign.
But there is a matter lately
brought out that creates additional
surprise and raises a question as
to how far the candidates on the
republican ticket, not only Mr..
Vincent, but the others as well,
were in the confidence of their
county chairman and secretary.
The report of receipts and ex-
penditures OF those officials of the
republican party are now filed
Under oath and may be supposed
to be the truth. The first item
under receipts is an acknowledg
ment of the sum of $3.50 from
this man Guggenheim. Evidently
E. J. Mathews and Geo. Stephan,
the latter Mr.. Vincent's law
partner, took Simon Guggenheim' 5
money and used it IN the campaign
for the benefit of the whole ticket
Perhaps Mr.. Vincent was not per
mitted to know tha, he was a
direct beneficiary of Slmon's s
generosity, and 1t is quite possible
that Mr. Beezley is even not yet
informed that Simon did what he
could in his weak way to assist
the candidacy of the entire ticket.
We are not insinuating that
these gentlemen were informed OF
the facts, but we declare that if
they were not, then Mr. Mathews
and Mr.. Stephan very cruelty
assisted in placing them in a posi-
ton that they should not have
been compelled to occupy.
There is nothing in these facts
to detract from the congratulatory

M. d. Vincent, in boiling the

course which compels Mr.. Gug

following words; II don't believe

same be published as widely as
possible to the end that the peo-
pie may be advised that we, the
republicans of the rank and file,
are not parties to this deal or
willing to be further involved in
combinations with trusts and their
representatives.
The above would seem to US to
be the proper thing for the re-
publicans to do if they are really
in earnest. We have heard so
much vicious ti-Guggenheim
talk among the republicans of
this precinct that we are impressed
with the belief that they do not
know what their party managers
did in the late campaign. Any
one who doubts the authenticity
Of the statement that $3.50 was re-
ceived as stated may easily verify
the same by either calling on the
county clerk of this county or
calling for certified copy of the
sworn affidavit of the officials
mentioned, detailing their re-
ceipts and disbursements.
This article would be incom-
plete did we not express the
belief that no such action as sug-
gcsted in our proposed resolutions
will be taken We believe that
the knowledge that Mr.. Guggen-
helm was financing the campaign
here was general among the most
of the leading men in the party.
Mr. Vincent may have been kept
in ignorance because they feared
that he would raise the same kind
of disturbance here that he has
in Denver. Out of his action may
come much good. His example
is one that might prohtably be
emulated by those who conduct
republican campaigns in this
county in the future. He declined
to tie himself to the smelter trust
when he was solicited, so says Mr..
Beezley. The sworn affidavit of
E. J. Mathews and Geo. Stephan
proves that they were not afflicted
by his scruples and that they
jumped at the opportunity to help
Simon disburse his surplus.

THE SWINE INDUSTRY.
Hogs Always Sure of Ready Market
at a Fair Price,

at q Fair Price.
Everything in the shape of a hog
from 6UO pound stays, or roughs, down
to the fifty pound shipper is readily abb
sorbed at it's full market value. A re-
sumo Of hog prices at the Chicago mar
ket for the past six years offers great
encouragement to the producer Of the
market hogs. Prices have maintained
u reasonable level. not having been sub
ject to such wide fluctuations as were
found in the markets for cattle and
sheep. The producer Of market hogs
Is always sure of a ready market at a
fair price. This fact, together with the
proved ability Of market hogs to re-
turn a maximum yield of meat for feed
consumed. makes the production of
high grade swine for meat purposes the
surest and most profitable feature of
the live stock business.
In our wide extent OF territory, with
diversified conditions Of soil and eli.
mate. resulting IN q wide range OF
crop production, we naturally find a
wide difference in the character and
quality of the hogs produced In differ

Latest Onion Culture.

Here are instructions from an expe-
rienced gardener for obtaining a good
crop Of onions with the least possible
labor: Sow early in March in cold
frames. Good varieties are Adriatic,
Barletta White. Prizetaker, Southport,
White Globe and Red Wethersfeld.
Seed can be sown in shallow drills
four inches apart. The seed must be
well covered and the soil pressed firm
" with a board. Keep the frames clos
ed till the young onions appear and
then give an abundance Of air on all
favorable occasions, bearing in mind
that the cooler they are kept the stur-
der the growth.
Keep the surface soil constantly STIR
red about the young plants and all
weeds removed. Water thoroughly
when needed.
