Thanksgiving Football Games.

Denver, Nov. 25.-Two football
games were played In Denver yester-
day in the presence OF enormous
crowds. The State University played
against the Leland Stanford University
of California and was defeated by a
score of 33 to 0. The University of Den
yer played against the State School OF
Mines and lost the game by score OF
~ to G. OF the latter game the Repub-
lican says: "The score tells the result
but does not show anything about the
game 1t was one of the most interest
ing games Denver has seen for long
time. the result being in doubt until
the final whistle blew. Both teams
played fast, snappy game, at times
the play being so fast that it was diff
ficult to follow it. The game was full
of spectacular plays, A. Pate getting
away twice, once for a sixty-yard run
to a touchdown and again for a fifty
yard run down the field; Hughes ran
eighty-five yards to the goal posts and
thought he had touchdown, but it was
not allowed, as the referee had blown
his whistle and the ball was dead be-
fore Hughes took 1t.
Both schools were supported by
large crowds of rooters, and they rooted
long and loud and all the time. TIE
Miners were helped with their songs
by the Fort Logan band, which had
been engaged especially for the occa
sion During the intermission, the boys
from both schools formed long lines
and marched around the field shouting

RUSSIAN PAPERS
SUPPRESSED BY GOVERNMENT
Issues Of One Liberal and One Reac-
tionary Sheet Confiscated by
Minister of the Interior.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 25.-Interior
Minister Sviatopolk-Mirsky went to
the Tsarskoe-Selo yesterday to present
the Zemstvo memorial to Emperor
Nicholas.
The situation is extremely delicate.
Two incidents have occurred, both OF
which initiate against the liberals and
increase the difficulty OF Prince Swat
opoik-Mirsky's position.
Prince Mestichersky, editor of the
Grach Dain. who is head of the reac-
tionary press, yesterday morning un-
masked his batteries, attacking the
interior minister in such fashion for
his liberal tendencies that Prince Svi-
atopolk- Mirsky, for the first time since
he assumed the ministry, ordered the
confiscation of the issue.
In the strength of the influence be-
hind such an attack lies the real sig
nificance OF Prince Mestichersky act.
At the same time, from the opposite
direction, the Nasha Ziesn (Our Life)
a new radical paper. authorized by
Minister Sviatopolk-M indulged
in direct attack on the Emperor, with
the result that the minister ordered
the suspension of the publication. The
action OF this paper is considered to be
be very unfortunate, as it places a
powerful weapon in the hands OF
Prince Sviatopolk-Mirsky's enemies.
Many Of the minister's friends are in
clined now to believe that the Zemst-
voists went too far, and have leopard
lied the position of their best friend.
Prince Ukhtomsky, editor Of the Viedo-
mosti, said to the Associated Press:
THE duty of all friends of a liberty
regime is to uphold and sustain Prince
Sviatopolk-Mirsky in every possible
way. His retirement would be great
misfortune"
There was some talk this afternoon
of an offer on the part OF the govern
.ment to compromise with the Zemst-
vos by giving them voice IN the
Council Of the Empire. which is the
law-making body. The proposition is
to elect two members Of each Zemstvo
to sit In the council and participate In
its deliberations. but not to vote. Such
a plan, 1t is pointed out. while not CIV

der to secure the support of the
South in their efforts to over
throw Bryanism, took up John
Sharp Williams, Southern man,
and used him to accomplish their
purpose in winning the South to
the nomination of Parker. They
put John s. Williams name in the
blazing head lines of their papers
and boosted him for the Presi-
ldency and the Vice Presidency
apd finally got the people to ac-
cept him as the Temporary Chair
man of the Convention. He was
sent fresh from their councils
throughout the country to help
instruct the states for their anti
Bryan man. Armed with his
New York message, Mr.. Williams
Ret the Press Association of Mis-
sissippi at McComb City and ad-
vocated Parker's Nomination and
thereby brought Mississippi in
line even unconsciousIy to in

the convention met at St. Louis,
Williams was put up by the New

help complete the work of sIaugh-
tering Bryan. One of the bitter
est speeches made at the Conven-
tion in which hostility and vitu-
peration blazed like flame

came out in a cunning and much

took uncompromising issue with
Bryan. From that day till this

WILLIAMS FIGHTING BRYAN.
A Democrat Reviews His Bitter Enmity
to Democracy's Great
Leader.

There is not a greater Dem.
ocrat in America today than Will.
lam Jennings Bryan. His hame
is the synonym for all that true
Democracy means. Not only
so, but be is the Prince of Ameri-
can citizens. A man So noble
and virtuous in life that, with all
his political affiliations, no mar
has ever dared to impeach bis
moral integrity. He is the great
American Commoner. The masses
love and trust HIM while the dem
agogues fear and hate him.
Though he has not been an office
holder for twelve years, yet as a
private citizen he has been as
much in the public eye as the
Presidents of the United States.
It is the natural and universal con
viction with the common people
that Bryan is the only man in the
Democratic ranks today who has
any shadow Of chance to be
elected to the Presidency in the
election of 1908.
Yet, while all this is true, Mis-
sissippi has within her borders a
prominent politician and candi-
date for the q. s. Senate in the
person Of John Sharp Williams,
who is one OF the worst enemies
to the Great Comoner on the
American continent. The people
of Mississippi who love the po,
Iitical leadership of w. j. Bryan
and want to see him nominated
by the Democratic party 10 1905
cannot consistently support John
IS. Williams for any Office. To
prove this statement, it is only
necessary to take short review
|of Williams record In the councils
of The Democratic party. In 1896
when Bryan was nominated the
first time for The presidency,
John s. Williams of Mississippi
stood against Bryan and the Dem
ocratic party in bis opposition 70
the free coinage Of silver. Since
that day Williams has stood with
the New York wing Of the party
which has continually fought
Bryan. In the last Democratic
Convention at ST. Louis, those
Eastern boilers regained tie con-
|trol Of the Convention and nom
mated one Of their own in the
person Of Alton B. Parker, over
/ the will Of the people. These
gold Democrats of the East in or
