THREATENED STRIKE
HITS 100000 MEN
All England Alarmed by
Dissemination of Cot
ton Operatives.

MANCHESTER. Sept. 12.-One Of the
greatest strikes that ever affected the
English textile industry was practically
agreed upon today, when delegates to
the meeting Of the Lancashire cotton
operatives approved the wage commit
tees rejection Of the plan TO reduce
wages.
The present wage agreement termi-
mates September 10, and today's action
means that the men viii go on strike
at that date. Including operatives of all
trades. who have indicated their inten-
ton Of standing by the cotton opera
Iives, $4,000 men viii be affected.
The mill owners decided on per
cent reduction weeks ago, and a Gail
paign has been waged among the va
Tious locals IL an effort TO get the work
men to agree. The depressed condition
of the cotton trade was URGED as the
cause Of the proposed reduction.
Owing to the Industrial depression that
prevails all over the United Kingdom,
and the hOrdes Of unemployed that are
now menacinE the large cities. the com
ing strike is viewed with alarm. The
cotton workers have the sympathy of
the public.

PACKING S

STAMPEDE
Wonder Worker From Ohio Has
Chicago by Ears
DOUBTERs CALL 1T A FAD
Meanwhile Young Cooper Emphasizes
His Theory That Good Stomaehs
Are All Important.

Chicago, Feb. 25.-This city is at
present In the midst of an excitement
beyond anything that it has expert
enced In recent years.
Old and young, rich and poor all
seem to have become beside them.
selves over an individual who was a
stranger to Chicago until two weeks
ago.
The man who has created all this
turmoil Is l.. T. Cooper of Dayton,
Ohio. who is at present introducing his
prearations In this city for the first
time.
Cooper is a man about thirty years
OF age who has acquired fortune With
in the past.two years by the sale of
preparations in this city for the first
owner.
Reports from eastern cities that pre-.
coded the young man here were of the
most startling nature. Many of the
leading dailies going so far as to state
that he had cured in public places deaf
ness OF years standing with one of his
preparations. The physician of the
east>contradicted this statement, claim
ing the thing to be impossible, but the
facts seemed to bear out the statement
that Cooper actually did so.
In consequence people flocked to him
by thousands. and his preparations
sold like wildfire.
Many OF these stories were regarded
AS fictitious in Chicago, and until Coop
er actually reached the city little at
I-tention was paid to them. Hardly had
the young man arrived, however, than
he began demonstrations, as he calls
them, In public, and daily met people
afflicted with Deafness. and with a
single application of one of his prepar.
| atoms actually made deaf people hear
| again.
In addition to this work Cooper ad-
'vanced the theory that stomach
trouble was the foundation of nine out
of ten diseases, and claimed to have a
preparation that would restore the
stomach to working order and thus get
rid of such troubles as rheumatism and
affections of the kidneys and liver in
| about two weeks time.
This statement seems to have been
borne out by the remarkable results
obtained through the use of this prepa-
ration. and now all Chicago is appar.
emily mad over the young man.
| His headquarters resemble VERT.
able stampede Thousands of people
are visiting him every day. and the
druggists are selling his medicines in
enormous quantities.
| What seems to make Cooper still
more popular is the fact that he prac.
tees extensive charitable work, and
has already dispensed a small fortune
among the poor of this city.
How long the tremendous interest in
Cooper will last is hard to estimate
At present there seems to be no sign
Of let-up. Physicians claim it to be
fad that will die out as soon as
Cooper leaves.
In justice to him, however, it must
be said that he already seems TO have
accomplished great deal for the sick
Of this city with his preparations.

would have defeated the party
in the State. In Delta county
the Democratic majority is due
to the Vincent row and their
gain of a large portion of the So
cialist vote. A Democrat in Delta
was overheard to say the day
after election: "All we need do
is lay low for two years and then

HOW 1T HAPPENED.


went Democratic at last Tues
days election are not hard to
understand now that the smoke
of political battle is clearing
away, though the published re-
suits in some cases are so un-
looked for as to make them easily
unbelievable.
There were two palpable caus-
es: The factional rows in the
Republican party which at first
were wholly blamed, have been
relegated to a second place on
the list.
There was always silly polit-
ical hero worship for Bryan in
Colorado. From the beginning
he was able to tingle the Popu-
list, the Free Silterites and Dem
ocrats alike, and the recent cleo
ton has shown that he still held
that power, though the time, the
place and the man, were no
longer what they once were.
1t wasn't Denver this time
which turned the tide in Colora-
do, but the outside counties,
where the unexpected happened.
For instance, Boulder county,
one of the strongest Republican
counties in the State, gave Bry-
an, according to reports, 1000
majority against a l, 200 majority
for Roosevelt last election and
l, 100 majority Republican two
years ago. Larimer county, good
usually for 1000 Republican ma
jority, gave Taft but about 300.
Such changes as that are what
did the work. Denver vote was
so close that, had the outside
county elections gone as expec-
ted, the State would have been
Republican by $1,000 to 10000
plurality.
From the great populous East,
North, Middle West and West,
however, comes a different tale.
The practical, thinking, business
people voted differently and the
majorities for Mr.. Taft exceed
even the marvellous vote for
Theodore Roosevelt four years
ago. While Mr.. Bryan carried
the Solid South - the Republi-
can vote in all Southern states
was the heaviest in the history
of the party.
1t is possible to make mistakes
along any line, and political mis-.
takes are more frequent anc
common than any other kind.
The best thing possible to do
both for individual and party, Il
to try to profit by any mistake
that are made. Experience ma,
be dear teacher, but it is cred
tied with being one of the bes
there is.
The Delta independent., 1908-11-06

Factional rows in the Republi-
can ranks lost Colorado to the
Republicans and lost Delta coun-
ty. They may get together
again in two years or they may
not. Certain it is that no other
cause-not even the inclination
to vote for Mr.. Bryan this year,
The Delta independent., 1908-11-06

Now that the Democrats have
the reins in Colorado, they will
have a chance to show what they
can do for the State. Let us
hope they will give us as good an
administration as the Republi-
cans have given for the past
four years. Anything will do
better than the Fusion misrule
which preceded those four years.
The Delta independent., 1908-11-06
Afer-Election Notes.

Mesa county went Republican by
about 300.
Mr.. Taft's popular plurality it is
estimated will exceed 100000.
Throw your crouch down and jump
on it. Then rub your muscles up for
home push
Uncle Sam is happy in the thought
that politics are at an end for time.
Now to business.
The Republican party won by small
majority at the High school election
held on Tuesday afternoon.
Well, the election is over and Taft
carried the country by an overwhelm-
ing majority.
While much interest was shown and
large vote polled, all precinct cleo
tions in Delta county passed off quietly
Indiana goes Republican by go, 600
New York by 1888, O0O-Pennsylvania
by 300, 600 Michigan by so, 600 Illinois
by 5o,oOo-Iowa by 60, ,OOO-Californi
by 80, OOO-Ohio by $1,000 and so on
down the line.
To prove how easy it to make mis-
takes in political matters, we saw men
carrying money in their hands around
the streets in Grand junction week
ago, seeking to bet on Bryan carrying
New York state And when the vote
is counted he doesn't even carry Demo-
cratic New York City and loses the
state by almost 100000.
The following States went for Taft.
Missouri, New York, California. Con-
neticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois,
Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maine Massa-
chusetts. Michigan, Minnesota. New
Hampshire, New Jersey, North Dakota,
South Dakota, West Virginia. Oregon,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont.
Utah, Washington, giving him 319
votes in the electoral college.
A tramp claiming that a ''fellow-
tourist" had picked up the diamond
brooch lost by Mrs. Byram Luce, told
the story to Mr. Luce the other day
and got a ticket to Montrose on the
manuscript. The claim was made that
he had seen his partner pick up the
brooch by the sidewalk in Delta; that
the diamond and pearls had been
trampled out of it and lost; that his
partner had gone to Montrose, etc, all
of which was about as consoling as Re-
publican election returns from Colorado.
Following are the Democratic ma
jorities in Delta county:
Bryan for President 146; Bailey for
Supreme Judge 1926; Steele for county
commissioner 266; Roberts for county
commissioner sos; Bradley for treasurer
140; Williams for sheriff 140; Gibbs for
clerk 325; Cockreham for assessor So6;
Anderson for school superintendent
ia; Vickery for surveyor 800; Whiting
for Representative $40; DR.. Burgin for
coroner GIT; Stewart for county judge
735.
Delta county went Democratic elect
ing the entire ticket, for which they
can thank NJ. d. Vincent and his
followers The county was, normally,
safely Republican by several hundred
majority. Mr.. Vincent and his followers
are welcome to what solace they can
draw from their action of downing
their neighbors and handing what shoud
have been Republican victory over to
the Democrats, simply because Mr..
Vincent was not permitted by major
ity of the voters to domineer conven-
ton in which he demanded his own
nomination.

Boosting is now the order.
Whatever may have been the po-
litical differences of citizens, they
must stand united in their efforts
for the advancement of Delta
county.
The Delta independent., 1908-11-06

If the people of Denver submit
to any big nit" plays, it will
be their own fault. People in
other parts of the State will en-
deavor to take care of them
selves.
The Delta independent., 1908-11-06

1t will be two years before
there is another State election
and four years until another Ma
tional election. In that time,
with proper boosting Delta will
be double its present size and
Delta county one of the best i'm
proved and most productive of
the entire West.
