Taft Gets Foot Ball Train.

During the football excursion which
came home around by Salida because
of the washout between Delta and
Grand Junction, the crowd got little
dull and someone proposed taking a
vote of the train to see who would win
in the Presidential race. Accordingly
Mr.. Moody, one of the High School
faculty. went through the entire train
with paper and hat. and all who were
old enough to vote were given chance,
all voting except two. When the
ballots were counted it was found that
Taft had Al, Bryan %, Debbs a and the
prohibition candidate 1.

CORPORATION NFLU-
ENCE IS FOR BR RYAN.

f Republican majorities are
cut down this fall it will be more
the work of the corporations and
the influence their money can
buy, than through any discomfort
or dissatisfaction among the
masses.
1t is not a settled question that
the money panic into which the
country was plunged last fall,
was not a part of the political
program.
Because of his attempt to regu-
tie corporations, President
Ro oosevelt became the enemy of
all the trust magnates and they
declared war against the Repub-
lican party unless a man might
be nominated not pledged to
follow in his footsteps and COM
plete his work.
With the nomination of Mr..
Taft there was no hope left for
them, so they have turned to
Mr.. Bryan, whose willingness
and readiness to accept corpora
tion aid is shown in his plea for
the election Of Corporation At
torney and Corporal I'll o nj S t
Hughes, of Denver, to the United
States Senate, as well as in many
other instances of this campaign.
The regulating of corpora
tions in their dealings with the
people is one of the great issues.
That is what Theodore Roosevelt
has started in to do-is what will
be an important part Of Mr..
Taft's mission if elected.
For it's accomplishment there
is now nothing of promise in
Mr.. Bryan's attitude.
No man, not even Mr.. Roose-
velt himself, is SO well prepared
to finish up this job as w. H.
Taft, and it remains for the peo-
pie to see that he is elected. If
you want to head of the corpora
tions in their efforts to prevent
regulation, see that he gets your
vote.

The Standard Oil
Special Was Prompt.

The train carrying the Democratic
candidates for state offices arrived n
Delta shortly after eight O'Clock Wee
nesday morning and remained at Il e
Depot about ~ minutes.
A few people went down to see t
but hardly enough to make an audience,
and the train had come and gone before
majority of the people who had
heard it would "pass through" knew
anything of it's presence.
This way of making state campaign
is the sort of joke voters find it hard to
understand and still harder to condone.
The people like to meet candidates
face-to-face and heart-to-heart, as
men, instead of what looks more like a
junketing trip over the state for
pleasure than hard working cam
paign.
1t is easy to believe that the Demo-
cratic special will leave trail of addi-
tional Republican votes along its route
almost as thick as the forest leaves
that whirled in its wake.

Rural Free Delivery Service.

The rural free-delivery service has
fully kept pace with the growth and
development of our whole country. The
farmer is now reapiDg some of the re-
wards he has so justly earned in the
past by the burdens that he has borne.
He is the producer of wealth. He is
coming to be one of the most indepen-
dent of all our citizens No branch of
the public service has been SO well de-
veloped and improved in the past few
years as the rural free delivery. There
were only 5000 rural routes in opera
tion six years ago. There are now
almost 40, 900, and these are scattered
through every State and Territory of
the country, SO that there is not a
rural section in the whole land that is
not practically covered. This entire
service has been extended from small
beginning eleven years ago, during the
three Republican Administrations with
which the country has been blessed
since 1897. believe that the appro-
priation of $35, 900, 600 made this year
for the support of rural free delivery
service brings more direct benefit to
the people of this country whom it
affects than almost any other approria-
ton mrde by the General Government.

Denuer Markets.

DENVER UNION STOCK YARDS,
Oct. IL. Receipts of cattle last
week were liberal at all markets,
offerings here being $1,000 head
or about twice as many as pre-
ceeding week. Eastern markets
were sharply lower on all grades
but good cattle here closed firm
compared with a week ago. The
demand is especially good for
good heavy fat steers and cows.
very few of this class being Of
fered of late. Some choice 1900
lb. North Park steers sold during
the week at $500 with others at
$3.50 but bulk of the fair steers
offered sold at $3.65 to $4.25. A
bunch of good Western Slope
COWS sold early in the week at
So. 40 but few of the cows here
were good enough to land better
than 1925 and prices ranged
mostly from this down to $500
for fair to good grades with me-
dunn to fair cows at $2.35 to
$2.85 and plain rough kinds
down to $1.25. Bulls and veal
calves were in good demand and
closed fully steady. There was
strong demand for feeders and
stockers and a large number of
this class of cattle went to the
country during the week. Good
to choice steers sold at $3.65 to
S4.25, fair to good at $3.15 to
SO. 60 and palmer stuff from $3.0 90
down. The demand is especially
good for feeding cows, buyers
preferring the good fleshy kinds,
and the market was firm from
day to day, bulk selling at So. Is
to $3.50. Prices here today
steady to strong under good de-
mand. Eastern markets report
ed heavy receipts and lower
prices.

The INDEPENDENT has tried
not to neglect, to a greater ex-
tent than was necessary, it's local
news features or its descriptive
resource writing during the CAM
paign. Intensely interested in
Republican success at the No
vember election, it has still tried
to be conservative in it's political
articles and argument. 1t be-
lieves in Republican accomplish
ments; believes that to be the
party which made the fewest
mistakes and done the most to
keep the country and all it's peo-
pie prosperous, SO has advocated
Republicanism as a continuance
until there may seem better rea-
son than now to make a change,
when the accomplishing of the
very things the people want ac-
complished is under way and
promising.
The Delta independent., 1908-10-23

Most of the predictions on
election results which come from
party headquarters are sent out
for political effect and they often
fall so short of facts when the
election is over and the votes
counted as to make them ex-
tremely ridiculous. 1t will be
remembered that during the
latter part of Mr.. Bryan's last
campaign, his manager had the
whole country posted with maps
showing the states Bryan would
carry printed in a certain color,
and pretty nearly the whole
map was of that color. But
when the vote was counted a
majority of those states had
changed to ''blue" for Mr..
Bryan.
The Delta independent., 1908-10-23

The people are not ready for a
change from Republican to Dem
ocratic rule, as will be demon
strated November 3rd. When
they want a change there will be
good reason for it and they will
show it as plainly in the cam
paign as at the polls. At present
the masses prefer to leave well
enough alone.
The Delta independent., 1908-10-23

1t will hardly be forgotten in
picking out the man to vote for
for President, that our candidate
has a record of successes and the
other a record of failures. To in
telligent voters this means en-
tirely too much to be ignored. 1t
isn't necessary even to name the
candidate to which the separate
records belong.
The Delta independent., 1908-10-23

observation Colorado will surely
go Republican by at least 20, 900
majority. Conditions every
where point to this result. On
the Eastern Slope the Republican
majority will be very large and
in fact in all communities where
the beet sugar question is live
issue the Republicans will win
with handsome margin.

Thanksgiving and Christmas
are dates which follow closely
upon election. Successful candi-
dates will feel that they have
something to be thankful for
during Thanksgiving month,
while the balance must wait for
Uletide and depend entirely upon
Santa Claus to put something
better than a lemon in their
stockings.

Judge King being Western
Slope candidate, should and we
believe will lead his ticket for
supreme Judge. Aside from be-
ing just such a man as the peo-
pie want for that Office, there
should be enthusiasm and loyalty
enough among the citizens to lay
aside all prejudices, local or par
tisan, to give him as nearly as
possible solid vote.

have a single interest warped
either by senseless passion or
narrow bias. While such a coun-
