NEW YORK. September 5.-Repubican
bosses who have been opposing the re-
nomination of Gov Hughes are preparing
a soft bed to fall upon. There will be
some high vaulting and double somer-
saults pretty soon, and mattresses are be-
ing laid for the political acrobats to light
on
State Chairman Woodruff and County
Chairman Parsons propose to take test
vote in connection with the primaries
next week, in several Greater New York
districts. to sound the temper Of the peo-
Pile toward Hughes This will be done by
printing an additional line on the primary
ballots.
If the sentiment for Hughes renomina-
ton should be pronounced. opportunity
would thus beafforded for the hitherto
hostile leaders to bow gracefully to pub
lie opinion.
Chairman Woodruff has all along in
sisted that 'the people shall rule in tins
matter No one can turn corner quicker
than Woodruff to head procession of
the people.
Black Is Hughes Man.
Ex-Gov. Frank Black is said to be
willing TO head Hughes delegation from
his county. Erie county has shown
change of heart and is for Hughes.
There is a suspicious drift toward the

definitely this week in support of Hughes
denomination. 1t begins to look as If

hostiles up state may hnd themselves

wrestling with the problem of selecting
a candidate for governor who has the
price" That is not applied in an offensive
sense. II means that a candidate must be
able to help toward the necessary eN-
penses of a campaign in which the party
cannot hope for very much financial help
from the public at large.
Dalzell Unwilling Convert.
Representative Dalzell of Pennsylvania.
recognized leader of high protectonists in
this country is back from Europe. re-
signed to tariff revision at the next Con-
gress. He thinks. however. that revision
will take the form of a maximum and
minimum tariff, with retaliatory features.
He would base the minimum rates upon
the principle of protection to American IN
dustres and the maximum to carry the
retaliatory feature.
DalZell was much impressed by the dis
tressful condition of the working men OF
free-trade England. and will cite the
thousands of unemployed men in London,
Liverpool, Manchester. Birmingham and
Glasgow as a horrible example of free
trade policy. He says the English people
are realizing their disadvantage in hold
ing out for free trade while the rest OF
the world is protected against them. and
that the next elections Will show gains
for the conservatives. who, he says, are
opposed to free trade. n. .. NJ.

Hughes Eulogizes Taft.

Gov. Hughes started with a brief eulogy
publican rule for the past twelve years.
with high praise for the reforms of the
Roosevelt administrations, dwelling on
the creation Of the bureau of corpora
tons and the passage OF the railroad rate
bill. the pure food hill the meat in
spection bill. the employers liability bill
and others.
Speaking of the fact that the new
President probably would haze the ap-
pojntment OF four justices OF the Supreme
Court of the United States. he alluded
I" Tafts high standing as a juriSt and
his wide knowledge of the bench and bar
from which such appointments of the

Oregon Senator Thinks President

Senator Jonathan Bourne has arrived in

Of September until the last of October.
AS the most energetic advocate of the re-
nomination of President Roosevelt. hav-
ing spent thousands of dollars of his per-
sonal funds for that purpose, his views of
the present situation are of interest.
II do not think there is the least qucs-
ton of the election of Mr.. Taft he saiu
today. so far as Oregon is concerned,
the democrats have no show on earth out
there notwithstanding their claims. The
republican national ticket will win by
5000 votes / think it will be- practically
the same in all the other Pacific coast
states.
"A close personal study of Mr.. Taft
since his nomination convinces me that
he is one of the greatest men of the ma
tion. l am certain that he will be the
echo of no man. and that his individuality
will stand out with that of any OF the
great men of the country. He has cour-
age ability of the highest order and a
tactful way of doing things that will be
gratifying.

speech of acceptance was one of the

Must Rotate Crops.

A rural life commission, the
members of which We're appointed
by President Roosevelt and the
expenses of which are paid by
some unknown philanthropic indi-
vidual, has been holding sessions
in Denver and taking the testimony
of farmers and stock growers from
different parts of the state. The
greatest evil SO far discovered by
the commission according to one
member is the rotation of
crops. Especially is it true of the
south where cotton has been raised
year after year upon the same
ground until crop is no longer
possible The commission will
recommend the planting of orch
ards on such ground and that it
be not required to raise another
crop of cotton for at least eight or
nine years. One lady witness be-
fore the commission was bitter
against the Colorado dry farms and
declared that 100 acres of such
land was not enough to support II
family. She thought land boom
ers who induced people to settle on
farms where there was no water
fer irrigation should be sent to the
penitentiary.

Misery in Stomach.

Why not start now today, and
forever rid yourself of Stomach
trouble and Indigestion? A dieted
stomach gets the blues and grum-
bles. Give it a good eat, then
take Pape's Diapepsin to start the
digestive juices working. There
will be no dyspepsia or belching of
Gas or eructations of undigested
food; no feeling like lump of
lead in the stomach or heartburn,
sick headache and dizziness. and
your food will not ferment and
poison your breath with nauseous
odors.
Pape's Diapepsin costs only 50
cents for a large case at any drug
store here, and will relieve the
most obstinate case of indigestion
and upset stomach in five minutes.
There is nothing else better to
take gas from stomach and cleanse
the stomach and intestines, and
besides, one triangule will digest
and prepare for assimilation into
the blood all your food the same as
IA sound, healthy stomach would
do it.
When Diapepsin works, your
stomach rests-gets itself in order,
cleans up-and then you feel like
eating when you come to the table,
and what you eat will do you good.
Absolute relief from all stomach
misery is waiting for you as soon
as you decide to begin taking
Diapepsin. Tell your druggist
that you want Pape's Diapepsin,
because you want to be thoroughly
cured of Indigestion.

Trainload of Settlers Arrive.

A special with passenger
coach and five Missouri Pacific
freight cars came in Sunday after
noon with six or seven families of
settlers from Buffalo, Kan. Un-
like most newcomers they brought
everything along needful to life
on the farm, horses, mules, COWS,
chickens, turkeys and dogs. In
household goods they had every
thing from thousand dollar piano
to a box of nails, also wagons,
buggies, plows, etc. What made
the fact more noticeable was that
the train men insisted that the
goods be unloaded Immediately
and they were tumbled out on the
ground and the train was on its
way back to Alamosa in two or
three hours.
Among the arrivals was A. A
Shockey, three sons aud son-in-
law. They will occupy the Frank
Crowther house at Sanford until
they can build on their own place
on the Excelsior ranch.

vile Epperson have also purchased
farms on the Excelsior ranch.

have rented the Mason house in
town. They will also build on the
Excelsior ranch as soon as possible.
c. H. Gray was also among the
arrivals. He has purchased farm
near Nanassa.
Another arrival on the special
was a Mr.. Irwin who recently
bought 40 acres between here and
Manassa.
Two or three other cars were un-
loaded at Alamosa, Monday, they
missed connections on the way and
arrived too late to take advantage
of the special to La Jara They
were loaded with the household
effects and stock belonging to j.
p Pfitfer and three sons and Art
Jones and two brothers-in-l law, all
of Dewey, Oklahoma They will
also settle on the Excelsior ranch.
Only the men folks came with
the stock train but the ladies and
children arrived on Thursday
mornings passenger.
We are glad to see these expert
enced farmers from our neigh
boring state come to the valley
and believe that they will be pros
porous and happy as soon as the
newness incident to strange sur
roundings has worn away. Our
citizens should give them cordial
welcome and try to make them
feel at home for thus will the
valley grow and good times come
to all who dwell therein.
