II have no recollection OF ever re-
ceiving any such letter and a most
diligent search fails to disclose any
such letter in my flies or any copy
of any such letter in my letterbook.
But, waving all that. the letter shows
that Mr.. Archbold did not pretend to
have any right to address me on any
subject except as any citizen might
have done.
Such requests are OF daily occur

eminent senators and congressman
who were lawyers have been regarded
as free to continue the practice of
their profession If they desired dur
ing their terms of Office in so far as
they might be able to do so without
interfering with their public duties;
and in such practice free to take any
kind of employment that was offered
which did not in any way conflict
with their duty as members of con-
gress. Nobody has ever before been
criticised on such account The only
question has been as to the character
of the business a senator or member
of congress was at liberty to take
and uniformly and universally 1t has
been considered that there was no
prohibition of any class of business
outside of those named in the statutes
and such business as might conflict
with public dates.

Before another issue of the IN
DEPENDENT is printed all will
know how the election has gone
and everybody will be glad the
campaign is over. This will be
true of defeated as well as cleo
ted candidates. A political cam
paign is more or less a worry to
everybody. National campaigns
are so great disturbers that they
shake business interests to their
very foundations, and even local
elections are often a clash of in
terests which leave more or less
of disappointment and hard feel
ings. 1t would be better to have
elections farther apart. A six
years presidential term and a
four years state term would be
an improvement.

An effort was made by the
Democrats at Grand junction to
knock out the voting machines
after they had been purchased
by the supervisors and distrib-
uted to the voting precincts. An
injunction was sworn out against
their use on the grounds that
the machines were faulty, but
the injunction was quashed by
Judge Shackleford Tuesday. Re-
publicans claim that the voting
machines are all right and had
an expert to demonstrate in
proof of their claims. They fur
ther allege that the main reason
the Democrats wanted them set
aside was because they feared
voters were not sufficiently ia
miliar with their manipulation
not to be afraid to vote anything
but straight tickets, which would
favor the Republican majority
known to exist.

WINNING THE SOUTH.


1t was big Drained, large
hearted, splendid man who made
a tour of the south as the Repub-
lican candidate for the presi-
dency, winning the hearts and
the confidence if not also the
votes of the people of that Sec
ton by his frank, yet bold dis
cussion of public questions, says
the Denver Republican.
Never before did the country
see the like of such campaign.
For spectacular purposes Mr..
Bryan went down to New York
in 1896 to be formally notified of
his nomination, and declared that
he was going into "the enemy's
country. But it was with no
such thought that Judge Taft
entered upon his tour of the
South. Not into an enemy's
country. but to a brothers home
he went, and he both received
the brothers welcome and made
those who heard him recognize
his sincerity.
Judge Taft may not win a
single electoral vote in the south.
In all probability he will not;
but he has won the hearts and
the respect of the people of the
southern states in a way that no
great Republican leader ever did
before him. President Roose-
welt and President Mckinley
were most cordially received in
the south while incumbents of
the presidency; but it was not as
Republicans they visited that
section. They went and they
were received as high public Off
cials. But Judge Taft wentsas a
Republican, as a candidate of
the Republican party, asking the
people of the south to give him
their votes because q Republican
administration and the enforce
ment of Republican policies are
for the best interest of the south
ern states in common with all
the other members of the Union.
Had he not been a big, strong,
liberal man he would not have
gone. He would have remained
north of the Ohio river to appeal
to states which might be classed
as doubtful. But he wanted to
talk to people of the south. He
wanted to help reunite the coun-
try and enable the men living
south of Mason and Dixon's line
to exert the influence upon the
public affairs to which their
number and their intelligence
entitle them.
1t is no wonder that he is
pleased with the heartiness of
his reception. He was greeted
by large audiences; and there is
hardly a doubt that among the
leading men there was more real
sympathy with him than there
would be with Mr.. Bryan were
he to visit the same places and
address the same people.
Whatever else he may have
done, Judge Taft has set splen-
did example and opened the way
for future Republican victories
in all the southern states.

The Democratic tariff bill un-
der Cleveland, which was vigor-
ously supported by Bryan, took
the protection from sugar, wool,
hides, wheat and other Colorado
products, seriously injuring the
farmers of this state. The Re-
publican Dingley bill restored
protection to these articles and
this bill was opposed by Shaf-
roth, Bryan and the entire Dem
ocratic organization. If the
farmer wants the present good
prices and brisk demand for his
products to continue he had bet
ter not vote the Democratic tick
ct. For Bryan and his platform
promise another assault upon the
tariff upon free trade lines.
