We hear a great deal about a third
candidate for governor coming into
the race at some time before the final
vote is taken in the Republican con
vention. In our judgment this is a
mere hope on the part of some Re
publicans who do not like either of
the two candidates; but those who
indulge such a hope, exhibit ignor-
ance of the situation and a lack of
true knowledge of .Messrs. Swisher
and Scherr. Both are organizers
and have built up a personal organ
ization of their respective following.
They have made their fights and
each of them is stronger for this sit
uation than any outside combination
or political force that would attempt
to side-track either The battle has
gone to the point that neither will
allow himself to be withdrawn and
the Democrats must plan to beat the
one or the Charleston Ga
zetts.

Dublin, April 20.-From every
land where the memory of the Emer-

the old sod have come to take part
in the deliberations of the Irish
Party's international conference.
which will open tomorrow. The
meeting will be the most important
in the history OF the party, since the
delegates will be called upon to de-

alton or continued warfare with
Great Britain. In settling this mo-

The official ballot for the Town
election of Delta is published
this week. The two tickets
thereon appear to be upon prac-
tically the same platform and
each contains the names of very
worthy citizens. 1t is up to the
voters to take their choice. Some
of those on one of the tickets
have served the Town and are
members of the present Town
Board. Those on the other ticket
are too we'll known to need an
introduction and if elected will
doubtless give the best of salts
faction. 1t all depends now on
who gets the most vetes. We
understand that neither the
questions of politics nor saloons
is to be considered.

you will be compelled to stand

When Delta announced that it
had secured the largest beet
sugar factory in the country and
that they would be ready for
business in the fall of 1909, the
Grand Junction and Montrose
knockers like to have had
spasms. They got busy and are
now trying to convince the gen.
tie growers all over the beet dis
trict that it had been their in
tention, and that they had all
arrangements practically COM
pleted to build nine new sugar
factories right where they were
needed, and if the growers will
only refuse to sign contracts for
acreage they will build factory
in every township and an elec-
trio trolley to carry the beets to
market. Singular how interested
they got as soon as the Delta
factory was projected. At pres
ent the Montrose people are beg
ging their folks to not sign up
for more than one year. We
want to say to those growers
who really intend to raise beets
that you want long time con.
tract at an agreed price. Sign
for three years and ask for a
five year contract. The reason
for this is that just as soon as
you have taken off a couple o1
crops the land will no longer
produce a beet carrying the

The future of paper is one of
grave concern. Not for a few
years, perhaps, but after another
generation. Millions of trees
annually are consumed in it's
manufacture and it has come to
pass that a car load Of white pa
per and even a train load, is
consumed in the publication of a
single edition of a newspaper or
magazine. The thousands of
tons of printed paper which go
out in every days mails tell
something of the story. Some
time it must be that much of
this paper will be saved and by
established processes cleaned and
milled for use again. AS it is
the tendency for prices on paper
is to steadily increase.

The triumph of the Speer fac
tion in the Democratic pow-wow
just concluded in Denver, was
to be expected, Concerning the
state in general it has little or
no significance. The Patterson
papers and all the other papers
fought Speer in his former cam
paign for mayor and still he was
elected-or at least the returns
so read. AS for the prediction
that Patterson may support the
Republican ticket, that is not at
all likely. The Senator is of too
turbulent political nature to
want to launch his newspaper
armada in a placid political
stream like the Republican river
has come to be in it's flow
through Colorado, and Demo-
Gratis should not make the mis-
take of thinking that Senator
Patterson has ceased to be DO
litical general, or that his news
papers are no longer a political
power in the state. If they bear
down too, hard on any such idea
they will know what has hap
pened when the awakening
comes.

Fraternities are good-espec-
tally for the young people-but
it appears that they can be over
done. Particularly is this prov
ing true of the college frats.
The real aim of developing prin-

overshadowed by the frisky de-
sire to introduce by-plays which
approach too near the hazing
line.

While the admonition to ''be
good" is well-meant, it is not in
tended that any one person or
small collection of persons, should
seek to control the quality. A

choice left them of going to the
bad. Keep the brotherhood OF
