POLITICAL PURRINd
Three Parties Have Innings During
Past Week.

Matters politlea have warmed up con-
siderably during the past week and the
indications are that the guileless voter
will have but little peace until the evening
Of Nov. 8. During the week the Rocky
Ford voter who had not made up his mind.
has learned Of three different ways to
save or protect his country. Convincing
reasons have been given why he should
cast his vote a. the speaker would have
him and he has been warned Of the pit
falls that line every road but the one
being shown by the speaker. 50 that he is
a daring voter who will cast his ballot
any but the way pointed out. But we
question whether one vote has been
gained by any Of the speakers. Most Of
those who have the right Of franchise
have long since made up their minds. and
thoae who have not yet done so will not
sway with each speeious spellbinder.
They will examine for themselves into
the past record Of each party; they will
read the different platforms. see which
holds out the promise Of progress and
prosperity. and will cast their votes for
that which is best for self and family.
So where's the use of worrying?
On last Friday night Harry L. Murray.
of Longmont, Prohibition candidate for
Governor, addressed a large audience in
tie opera house. The speaker had a
most pleasing delivery and a plea sing
subject and his address greatly pleased
his hearers, for Of course there is no one
IN Rocky Ford. be he or she Republican.
Democrat. Socialist, Prohibitionist or any
other ".st" who has any use for whisky.
The only divergence is that they have
different opinions how the stuff should
be handled.
Then on Saturday night District At
torney S. H. White had the stage at the
Grand. He explained to a fair-sized
crowd Just why 'the peerless one" and
"honestjohn" should be elected. and in
eidently did little begging for votes to
help him to the Supreme bench Of the
state. His address was pretty tame.
Then last evening the Grand opera
house was filled TO its utmost capacity to
hear Hon. Franklin E. Brooks of Colora-

that has been made in state and nation

had read the motion for new trial
filed by the defense, that it charged
the court with many errors and that
he personally wished to see the trans
cript of the record before he heard
the arguments on the motion. He
said:
"The motion for a continuance is
granted. not so much for the reasons
set forth in the motion itself, but be-
cause there are certain things set up
in the motion for a new trial in which
it is alleged that the court erred and
which require careful consideration
in connection with the records in this
case. Counsel for the defense has set
up certain things in its motion attack
ing the rulings of this court and the
failure of the court to do certain
things. and IL these allegations are
not sustained bv the record, then I
consider the charges of the counsel
to be unwarranted. unfoundcd, and
unjust criticism Of the court and I
will take such action as may be in
the power of the court to correct
them"
He then set the date of the hearing
for Saturday. Nov. ?.
