Filed Too Late to Comply
With Law. Must Be 80
Days Prior to Election

DENVER, Oct. li-There ism t going
to be any Hearst Independence ticket
IA Colorado nor in Denver nor in any
congressional district.
The inflated machine, started on its
skyward flight with so much hot air
BY the great yellow journalist in the
Denver auditorium few weeks ago,
ras suddenly collapsed and proven II
most dismal "fizzer."
Secretary of State O'Connor has no.
tified the Hearst managers that he
won't accept the tickets filed by them
because they haven't complied with
he law in any particular.
In the first place. while the petitions
appear to be signed by the requisite
number of voters on their face, not a
single one of the signers subscribed his
or her name to the oath required by
law.
Many of these signatures are written
in the same hand, and not one of them
makes affidavit that he is legal voter
or has any right under the statute to
sign the petition.
The ticket was filed on the last day
in the afternoon, October ., the law
requiring all petitions to be presented
thirty days before election.
Along with the remains of the
Hearst Independence ticket was borne
away from the statehouse the lifeless
ticket filed by Bangor Jack, who, off
the stage, is John Donovan. He had a
lot of signatures to petition that he
run for the state senate, but the gentle
men who signed this also forgot to take
the oath required by law.

The Republican ralley began last
night with music by the Glenwood
band. After playing several splendid
pieces on the street corners the band
marched to the opera house followed
by large crowd.
George Yue acted as chair
man of the evening and first introduced
Hon. J. C. Burger who gave the open
ing address which was full of interest
and undisputable facts which the Dem
ocratic party cannot deny. In part
it was as follows:
The Republican party comes to you
asking for continuation of your con
fdence and renewal of your faith,
as evidenced by your ballots, squarely
upon its record. In state and nation
\ quences of our actions and the results
Of them. We have the courage of our
convictions, and so we go before the
people of the state of Colorado and
sssait our record, and the record of
the party in opposition.
We have with us tonight most distin
guishcd statesmen and orators, Senator
Geo. l.. Hodges and Hon. J. b. Stephen
who will address you on the issues of
the campaign and l know you are anx-
ious to hear them. shall confine my
remarks mostly to the issues of the
national campaign and l shall be as
brief as possible.

The issues of this campaign have
been couded and obscured at every
turn by our friends, the Democrats. The
people of Colorado have high percen-
tage of intelligence, and the voters of
Colorado are greater in proportion to
the population than in any other state
in the union. They are people capable
of deciding issues for themselves.
In regard to the tariff the speaker
said in part Our votes which we cast
on the third day of November should
be in accordance to our Judgment of
the records of the past. When Cleve-
land was elected president of these
United States the tariff was removed
from imported goods. And what follow
ed! You all know. And who was
Cleveland? He was the only real
statesman the Democratic party has
produced since the close of the war.
And you know what happened dur
ing President Cleveland 5 last admin

which the country suffered untold
hardships and agony. Compare this
period with that which followed under
the Republican administration. In 1897

An Economic Reversal.

During the last few years the rates
of public service corporations have de-
creased materially In spite OF the In
creased cost of labor and materials
This result is due directly to Increased
business and improvements In the va
rious arts involved, but indirectly to
the business and technical ability OF
the men in control. On the other hand
scarcely a week passes that does not
bring the news Of an increase in rates
of some municipal plant, the two latest
recorded being the municipal water
works of Fort Scott and Girard, Kan
This may be due to bad management
or to the original adoption of too low o
rate.
Usually when cities take over thelr
utilities the necessary authority from
the voters is secured by promise OF
rate reduction, and that promise Is
kept without regard to the ability OF
the business to stand 1t. The result
Is poor service, plant deterioration OF
Increase of taxes. Frequently all OF
these results follow, with an ultimate
return to the rates charged by the cor
poration that was put out Of business
because It was "robbing" its custom
ers.

CATCHING the "Tone."

He was d we'll meaning young man,
but as curate In a small village he had
never occasion to meet the class OF
people who frequented the fashion
able parish to which he had just been
appointed.
His new rector, wishing to help him
on to success, had been liberal with
advice and had duly impressed him
with the Importance Of always taking
the "tone" of the people with whom
he mingled. Being invited to take
dinner at the mansion Of one OF the
members OF the congregation and
knowing that he would have TO say
grace, the young curate took his cue
from the conversation overheard be
fore dinner, and when his hostess
nodded meaningly in his direction he
delivered himself Of the following,
which he considered quite in keeping
with the "tone" Of the guests assem-
bled:

poDver Of plants,

Farmers are well acquainted with
the fact that the roots Of trees Will
disrupt and sometimes overturn a
stone wall. but the lifting power Of
tender vegetables is equally surprising.
The one result which has perhaps
attracted the greatest attention Is the
discovery that a weight OF two and a
half tons can be lifted by the common
pumpkin in the course OF its develop
ment.
DR.. Carpenter relates the story OF a
paving stone weighing eighty-three
pounds that was raised from its bed
when Joined by Others on all four
Sides by such soft piece Of fungi az
the common mushroom. And still an
other and more remarkable story is
added to the above.
A man had a cask Of sweet wine and
placed It In an empty cellar to mature.
When examined several years later 1t
had risen from the floor Of the cellar
to the ceiling, having been borne up
ward upon the tender shoots Of vine
fungus with which the cellar was
filled.-London Home Notes.

A CHARGE IN CHICAGO.

Costly Generating Plant Goes Out Of
Existenee-Ths City Must Pocket
the Loss.
According to reports from Chicago
all generating stations OF the munich
pal electric light plant have been shut
down and current is being purchased
from the Chicago sanitary district
which utilities the water power OF the
drainage canal. That this will reduce
the cost OF lighting the streets is rea'
sonably certain. but there is no GER
tainty that 1t will reduce It TO a figure
as low as would be given By private
company, because a large proportion
Of the lighting cost-distribution and
maintenance OF circuits and lamps
will still be In the hands OF the city
and therefore most unlikely to be eco
nomically administered.
Even IL the experiment is financial
success from now on, the present
change involves an enormous loss to
the city In the practical wiping out oil
its costly generating system. This
loss. II charged up to the period during
which the plant has been In operation
would greatly increase the estimated
cost Of lights for the past twenty-one
years, which was already IN excess OF
lighting by contract. 1t is such occur.
rences as this which show how worth
less are the figures Of costs given out
by city lighting plants, ignoring. as
they do, the changes entailed by prog
ress In the art Of lighting or by special
contingencies. The only time city
knows what its lights are costing IL
when It has a contract with com.
pany. Municipal lighting is a gamble

against itself by its unbusinesslike
methods OF operating and accounting
