ran true to form yesterday and 16
of the Is horses he picked were
In the money.
In the second, fourth and sixth
races he called them one-two-
three. This is one of the most
unusual feats of REORGANIZATION
in the history of turfdom. In the
first race AIIness and FOOtioOse
were given an equal rating and
finished nose apart.
In the second race The Calls
Handicapped called Fredonfa,
Light knight and Incentive. They
finished as named.
In the fourth race he selected
Billy Pullman. Nadzu and County
Clerk. They finished in that or
der.
Again IN the last race The
Calls Handicapped called Princess
Jewel, Esteila @ and May Hoi-
lander. They ran as selected.
Out of the rs horses that The
Calls Handicapped picked to get
the money Convent Bell and Har-
ry Rogers were the only disap-
pointments.
When The Calls handicapper
picked three races One-twO-
three yesterday he set mark
for all the experts in the coun-
try and one that is likely to stand
as the high water mark for con-
sistency for some time to come.

Huahes And Shafroth Fighting Park
County Farmers.

There is case pending in the
roth. Democratic candidate for gov
ernor. and Charles J. Hughes, Demo
cratic candidate for United States
senator, are attorneys of record in
resisting the farmers of Park county
in their efforts TO protect their rights
against The Denver Union Water Coz
pany.
This is the same Shafroth who jam
med a bill through Congress on the
last day of the session in 1902, grant
ing the Denver Union Water Com
pany 1850 acres of government land
above its reservoir site at the mod
est price of SIPS per acre.
II is the same Shafroth who acted
as the Water Company attorney be-
fore that time and who has acted for
them many times since. He is now
engaged in the laudable game Of try
ing to deprive the South Park farmer
of their water for the Water Com
pany.
These two corporation attorneys
are wanted in office by The Denver
Union Water Company because the
people of Denver are to vote in few
months upon the purchase of the wat
err plant for several millions of dol
lars. The Water Company wants the
/ election machinery. the Supreme
! Court, the State house and the Con.
gressional delegation to be under its
! Influence, to assist in carrying that
| election.
This corporation is in control of
the Democratic party and is under
| taking to make tools of the Democra
| tic voters of this state.
a vote for the Democratic ticket
is vote to place Denver and Colo
RADIO and especially the farmers OF
the Platte valley, at the mercy of thi
grasping corporation.
