Denver, Oct. 27.-That Colorado is
democratic this fall by anywhere
from 1000 to $4,000 is the firm
conviction of everyone of the demo-
cratic state candidates, who have re-
turned home on the Red, White and
Blue special, which has been making
tour of the southern end of the
state.
The tour closed with two very sue
cessful meetings at Walsenburg and
Trinidad, John F. Shafroth heading
party which spoke at Walsenburg
and Charles J. Hughes, Jr., being the
feature at Trinidad.
The special made a thorough tour
of the Arkansas valley, the western
slope, including the Grand and Man
cos valleys: the San Juan country;
southwestern Colorado to Durango.
and southern Colorado to the state
line, and never before did a party of
candidates campaigning under such
circumstances get a reception as en-
thusiastic and as genuine.
The entire ticket will sweep the
section of the state traversed by the
special.

Discussions between the Denver K
Rio Grande railroad and one of the
auxiliary companies of the American
Smelling and Refining company have
resulted in the announcement from
Boston that the Utah Copper COM
pany is preparing to construct a ST.

ores, says a Denver dispatch. The
Rio Grande has completed and put
in operation at a cost in excess o.

new line to handle this business.
The officials are inclined to look
upon the movement as threat to
force concessions from the Rio
Grande and believe that the matter
will be settled without the construc-
tion of the new road. The Utah Cop
per company owns big mines and
mills in Bingham canon and at Gar
field, Utah. c. NJ Mcneil of Colo
rado Springs is president of the com
pany.
In 1905 its control passed into the
hands of the American Smelling Sc
curities company, which in turn is
controlled by the American Smelling
and Refining company. The mines
and smelter are connected by the
Bingham branch of the Rio Grande.

THE DEMOCRATS CERTAIN
TO ELECT STATE TICKET

He will beat Haggott by many thou
sands. Martin has made a magniti-
cent campaign, while his opponent
has not been seen or heard of in his
own district.
Shafroth is likely to run ahead of
the ticket in southern Colorado, but
the plurality for the whole array of
democratic candidates will be sur
prising.
Casimiro Barela, the perpetual SEN
ator from Las Animas. is beaten be
yond doubt by DR.. Ben Beshoar, son
of the man whose seat was stolen
four years ago, after he had beaten
Barela.
Nearly every candidate on the dem
ocratic ticket made the tour of the
state, and there is not one but be-
lieves that the election of the entire
ticket is assured, with the Bryan
electors getting an enormous plural
ity.
The success of the trip is largely
due to the efforts of w. j. hampton
assistant general freight agent of the
Rio Grande, who was in personal
charge of the train, and who main

TO BUCK RIO GRANDE

count of the precipitous and circuit
Gus walls of the canon. The road
is twenty-eight miles long.
The Utah Copper company now
proposes to parallel this line with
one of its own. which it claims 1t can
do for 100000 and save nine miles
of distance. The company states that
1t is necessary to take this step to
insure itself against interruption to
its production. as it cannot always
rely on the Rio Grande. This official
says it is not the policy of the COM
pany to wait until the Rio Grande
has failed in its ability to handle the
enormous tonnage of ore which must
be shipped every day from Bingham
to Garfield before seeking a remedy.
The company says that after build
ing the railroad it will consider the
enlargement of its plant to handle
12.500 tons of ore per day, against
1000 tons daily at present.
The railroad officials say that the
relations between the Rio Grande and
the smelter trust have been very
friendly in the past and that Presi-
dent Jeffery of the Rio Grande is
personally close to the heads of the
trust, and for that reason this offic-
ial believes that the troubles will be
adjusted before the new road is ac-
tually built.
