should be influenced by patriotism. In

expressed in 1892, when he said: No

stated to Democratic convention In
Nebraska, which adopted set of res
olutions contrary to his personal view:
You may hold those opinions, but

Democrat Taking
Stump for TAFT

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-Eugene Wal.
ter Leake, Democratic representative
In congress from New Jersey, called
at Republican national committee
headquarters to offer his services on
the stump for William II. Taft. Though
he has been stanch Democrat all his
life, he is bitterly opposed to William
j. Bryan and because be believes
that the election Of Bryan to the pres
idency would mean the greatest ca
lamity to the country since the civil
war, he is ready to exert himself to
the utmost to aid the election of Judge
Taft.
In speaking about the national cam.
paign today Representative Leake as.
serted with emphasis that Bryan had
ingrafted upon the Democratic party
the principles of Populism and So
oialism. and virtually had wrecked the
party. He called Mr.. Bryan fanatic,
a crafty seeker after votes. and final
ly political brainstorm." Despite
the picturesque terms which he ap.
piled to Bryan, Representative Leake
discussed logically and clearly his
reasons for boiling the Democratic
party. The keynote to his talk was
patriotism, and he pointed out that
regard for the nations interest was
higher than mere party loyalty.
The young congressman, who was
elected by large majority from a
Jersey City district, has been a keen
student of politics and government I'll
his life. On the stump he has voiced
hie principles with telling force, being
an orator Of ability, and has man.
ner that wins friends for him every
where. He will speak at Republican
rallies throughout the eastern states
| during this month.
II declined denomination for con.

One Continuous

CHICAGO. Ill.-One chapter of the

Chicago last week. The trip demon.

Records Pulled on the Durango Democrat in
Connection With Taxes PAID by Demo.
cratic Nominees for Commissioners

THEY ARE EACH AND THE 9TH.
Err ENGAGED EXTENSIVELY IN
FARMING AND QUITE NATURAL.
LY FEEL A KEEN INTEREST IN
GOOD ROADS ALL OVER THE
COUNTY AND NOT IN AN AUTO.
MOBILE RUN FOR A BUNCH OF
FAvoRlTES.
The above appeared in Sunday morn
ing's Democrat and, If true, shows a
deplorable case of tax lodging on the
part of Messrs. Scouton and Tovrea,
and II not true, is positive proof i
the lying being resorted to by the
Democrat in order to mislead voters,
making it worry plain that it is time
the voters were cutting out the rot
and malicious falsehoods appearing in
the Democrat daily in order to elect
set of subservient commissioner s
and assessor. We all know Low -le
Democrat worked the last Democratic
board-printing bill of enormous oil
mensions and graft of every characto''.
The Democrat says Scouton and Tow
rea pay taxes on thrty-fve thousand
dollars worth Of realty in La Plata
county. Now. as to the facts taken
from the treasurer's records:
Henry Scouton, total assessment on
realty and personal property, $2,s5o,
with total tax of S121.91.
Tom Tovrea, total assessment on
realty and personal property, $1,o1o,
with total tax Of $3s.37.
Now. Mr. Voter. there is quite
discrepancy between $4,000 and less
than $4,000. 1t is given out that Mr.
ScOuton is worth lot of money
$4,000 and upwards. This being the
case how does 1t come he only pays
taxes on $3.50? Let voters do lit
tie investigating.
Now let us look at the tax rolls of
x1iessrs. Folsom and Griffith as taken
from the records:
w. H. c. Folsom, assessed valuation,
$13,s35, with taxes paid of $53e.os.
Chas. Griffith, assessed valuation,
$13,5so, with taxes amounting to
$445.21.
And this leads us to remark what a
tangled web of falsehood the Demo
crat sheet is weaving to mislead cleo
tors. Now who are the most interest
ed in the welfare of the county-the
Republican or Democratic nominees.
The Republican nominees have their
money invested in taxable property
while the head push on the Democrat
&c ticket prefers to loan his money and
Ifs In position to go elsewhere at
any moment. Do the taxpayers want
money lender instead of property
holder for commissioner? The prop
erty holders develops the town and
country-the money loaner reaps the
harvest from the property owner, the
farmer and the business man who bor.
rows to develop the resources of the
country.
Messrs. Folsom and Griffith are bona
fide property owners, taxpayers, not
tax dodgers through money loaning
operations. The Herald has no criti.
cism. for the man with money who
loans 1t, but from public standpoint
he is not the kind of person to han
die the affairs of the men and women
who invest their money in taxable
property and every voter is aware of
this fact.

Concerning the
District Attorney

Now that the question of who should
ing to the front ii is with pleasure
The Herald gives space to the follow.
ing from the Silverton miner which
throws a great deal of light on the
situation and makes 1t very plain why
Mr.. Lane is not the proper one to
elect Il makes Il very plain why
Mr.. Puiliam refused to accept re-
nomination, and that he was wise
TO conditions" when Dave Day insisted
on his nomination and rejection Of
Lane. But as the Miner says. with
Lane nominated and elected It serves
the same purpose as though Pulliam
was In office. We invite careful pc.
fusal. The Miner article follows:
The Republican judicial convention
meeting in Durango on Monday even.
ing of this week, unanimously and
enthusiastically nominated for the of.
flee of district attorney for the Sixth
judicial district. A. II. Mollette OF Du-
range. The five counties comprising
tie district, Archuleta, Dolores, Mon
tezuma. La Plata and San Juan were
ent, San Juan being represented by
A. p. Root, j. p Clougher, j. w. Tilley,
Frank L. Ross, !. Mather and DIR. ]. s.
Bailey. The nomination of Mr.. Mol
lette was the result of careful can.
vassing of opinion throughout the dis.
trict with a view to the selection of a
man of known ability, answering hon
esty and personal courage, and who
would be absolutely fearless In the
prosecution OF all offenders. In Mr.
Mollette was found a candidate who
combined these qualities with a per-
sonal popularity that extended
throughout the Sixth judicial district,
and in nominating him for the office
OF public prosecutor, the Republican
party presents a man who would meet
all the demands of that exacting office,
and who will receive the support of all
clean citizens, Irrespective OF party
affiliations, and for the following rea-
sons:
The citizens Of San Juan county, and
of the whole district have, during tho
period that james A. Pulliam has held
,bo .fa.o ,g df-lri,t .stor,a,, .a.n N
seeming laxity In the enforcement of
| law, seeming catering to special inter
ests and polite considerations, notably
10 the gambling and liquor interests,
that has in the Tinds of many good
citizens bred a deep distrust Of that
official. IL has been said that open
violations Of the law in San Juan coun-
ty in the very presence of the district
attorney have occurred, and his failure
10 prosecute such violations has caus-
ed much comment, and today gambling
in San Juan county Is closed and sa-
loon closing laws enforced, not through
the activity OF James A. Pulliam or
george w. Lane, MS deputy, Dut as IN 9
result of a determined stand taken
Oh the part of the citizens OF San
Juan county. The single fact that a
citizens organization has been neces.
sary to bring about an observance OF
the law on the part of heretofore
seemingly favored violators of the
law, causes the people to wonder II II
might not have been more profitable
and more remunerative to allow the
law to be violated than to bring about
its enforcement.
But what OF George w. Lane, the
Democratic nominee? Is It a possible
conception that he represents any
higher or purer ideals Of public ofac.
