Read the Democratic platform. 1t

for what ails you.-Ouray Plaindealer.
Judge Alton B. Parker is out in an
unequivocal statement that Mr.. Bryan
will be the next President of the United
States. He has been West and has
grown with his contact with the great
thinking and reading people of the
western states.

Why did the Republican party pass
an act forbidding corporation contribu'

In his letter OF acceptance Taft said
he personally favored the election of
senators by popular vote. but hardly
considered 1t party question. III other

he wouldn't have 1t on the platform for

Gilpin observer., 1908-08-13

The recent merger of the Hartman
and Gould railway interests has fur
nished another argument for the So
cialists. The very rich should realize
that they are themselves paving the
way for enforced national Socialism to
protect the people from the greed of
few owners. Vigorous control by the
means suggested by the Democratic
platform is the only escape.
Wherever the regular Democratic
committeeman for a precinct has re-
moved or is inattentive to organization
work. it becomes duty for other
Democrats to go ahead and organize
auxiliary clubs. No committeeman who
properly realizes his position will stand
back for a moment from doing his
whole duty, now that the national can
didates and platform are chosen. 1t is
organization and constant activity from
now until the polls close. which must
be required OF every loyal Democrat.
Whether there is anything to the
seeming change of bosses in the Re-
publican ranks of Denver or not, there
is a strenuous attempt on the part OF
the more conscientious Republicans
through the state to free themselves OF

Should the system of guaranteed
deposits, advocated by. Bryan and
adopted by Oklahoma, be put in opera
ton here, every cent of savings money
among the people would come out of
hiding and be put into circulation. No
one would take the chance of rob-
berry, fire and other mishaps if he
knew his money could be drawn from
the bank when needed. There would
be no fear of bank suspensions nor
clearing house certificates, but GER
tainty that in any event the money
would be forthcoming whenever de-
manded. Bankers would have no OBJ
ject in starting a panic as they did last
fall.-Newspaper, Paonia.
cially. The men and corporations who
prey upon the people and live and wax
rat on special privilege always finance
the Republican campaign, and get full
returns for the investment. If sue

to be under obligations only to the

Hurrah for Bryan and Kern. 1t is

There are two ideas OF government.
There are those who believe that II you
will only legislate to make the well to

BELL AFTER DEPUTYsH|P
Hammond Mans Candidacy
Is Made Known
Today.

Now that Tom Grant has been elected
sheriff of Lake county the question of
who will be Mr.. Grants choice for the
deputy sheriffship. In Hammond, Ben
L. p. Bell seems to be the man who is
meeting with favorable mention among
the republican leaders and while it is
understood that Mr.. Grant refused to
make any pledges or. ante-election
promises it is understood that Mr..
Grant is very friendly to Mr.. Bells
candidacy. Just when the appointment
is to be made it is not known. but Mr..
Bell has many friends who are working
for him. There is no doubt but that
he would make an ideal officer and on
account of the splendid race that Mr..
Grant made in Hammond, it is quite
probable that the deputyship will come
here.

MR.. TACGART IS HAPPY
nv Thomas Taggart.l

Indianapolis, Nov. 5.-~There are two
elements in the situation that are
chiefly responsible for the sweeping
democratic victory" said Mr.. Taggart.
One of these was the splendid organ
izatioa presided over by State Chair
man Stokes jackson. The other was
the unpopularity and NAL administra-
ton of Governor Hanly. The democrats
had the advantage, too. of splendid
state ticket, made up of men who owed
allegiance to no individual or indi-
only"
Mr.. Taggart was the recipient of
many verbal bouquets yesterday. A
firm at Newcastle that raises Ameri-
can beauty roses called him up over
the telephone to ask permission to
name a new rose in his honor. The
firm explained that the rose is a bril-
liant red. Mr. Taggart cheerfully gave
his consent Another admirer named
John Gibbs, living in this city, begged
leave to present him a rooster, which,
he said, is a very likely bird and
democratic from the tip of it's comb to
the farthest extension of its tail feath-
ers. Mr.. Taggart told him to bring
the rooster around to the Denison ho-
tel tomorrow morning. Little encomi-
ums like these kept coming to Mr..
Taggart all of yesterday. 1t was a
day of easy honors.

WILL MAKE HIM LEADER
Congressman E. D. Crum-
packer Big Man of In
diana Now.


The election of Congressman Edgar
d. Crumpacker from the Tenth dis
trict in the face of the defeat of such
men as Congressman Overstreet and
Charley Landies will make him the
leader of the Indiana delegation to
congress.
Fortunately Congressman Crumpack-
er, although accompanied by eleven
democrats and one other republican,
will go to a friendly house of repre-
sentatives. The Indiana representa-
tives who are all newcomers and
democrats may expect but little from
the republican congress and Crumpack-
er will get much.
If fact it is expected that Con-
gresham Crumpacker will get every
thing he asks for and he is in posi-
tion to ask for much. The news comes
from Iowa that Representative Hep
burn has been defeated. This means
that the democrats have defeated the
chairman of the ways and means COM
mittee.
As Representative Crumpacker is not
a member of this committee it is pos
sible that he may become its chair
man. Unusually the Craftsmanship goes
TO the ranking member, but it is hard
to tell how many of the members on
this committee have been defeated and
it is possible that Crumpacker may be
its chairman.
AT any rate it is expected that the
next time congress appropriates mon
ey for harbor improvements Lake coun-
ty will be properly remembered and
this district will ge more in the way
of harbor legislation than any other
district in Indiana
