Montoomery BustIinq Town.

Montgomery is one of the livellest towns in the south right now" said C.. H. Malone, who travels the south for a Cincinnati concern. 'I have been there twice in the past two weeks and each time found the town all ab-~Ie. sSont- gomery has borne the reputation of be- ing a wee bit sleepy but if it maintains the same business-like appearance in the future as it has for the past few weeks the other large cities in the south will be put on their mettle to retain their prestige as being the real, live cities. Cot ton is moving lively in Montgomery and this no doubt has much to do with the live appearance in the town.'

''I think West Virginia is more apt to go republican than Ohio," said R. N. Rollins of Cincinnati
 'I am a democrat and am hoping of carrying West Virginia, but a recent visit to that state leads me to think that Taft is in the lead. In Ohio the demo- crats are gaining votes every day and it looks to me as if Bryrans chances there were excellent. If Taft carries his own state it will be only by the skin of his teeth as the Bible says"

Who Are
Your Friends?
SHALL COLORADO PLACE HER
SELF IN THE OKLAHOMA
CLASS7

At the coming election the state OF
Colorado is going to line up with one
or the other Of two groups Of states in
the Union. Shall we line up with New
England, New York. Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Illinois. Michigan and our sister
states in the Rocky Mountain region.
or shall we line up with South Caro-
lima. Mississippi. Arkansas and Okla
homa?
Twice the majority Of the voters OF
with the latter group.
How did we like L.!
Was It pleasant for a Colorado man
who had first-class mining PROPOSE
tion to present to go to New York and
find as soon as he announces the state
OF his residence. that nobody with
money to invest cared to hear any
thing further about It!
Can anyone rightly estimate the mil
lions OF investment money that might
have been placed in Colorado which
were withheld simply because this
state in 1896 and 1900 had chosen to
place itself In the Democratic column?
The people OF Colorado are among
the most intelligent In the Union.
Shall we join with the other states OF
intelligence or shall we join with the
group OF states which has the greatest
percentage OF illiteracy. the smallest
school attendance and the smallest
number OF voters In proportion to Pop
ulation OF any part of the Union?
In the state Of Colorado as high
wages are paid to labor as in any state
In the Union. The people of this
state believe In a generous remunera-
tion OF every man who works as the
fruit OF his toll. Shall we line up with
the states in which high wages are
paid, in which union labor secures its
fullest recognition. or shall we line up
with the states where unions are
scarcely recognized and where wages
are lower than In any other portion OF
this country?
Now is the time for Colorado to
keep step to the music Of the Union
Now Is the time for US to declare by
our majority for the Republican ma
tional and state tickets that we belong
among the progressive states-that we
desire a place in the prosperity col
umn. and that by our votes we propose
to claim that place.

When Democrats

Mr.. Rodenburg said: Mr.. Chair

man has always been a disciple OF the
doctrine of despair. His is the philos-
ophy Of pessimism. To him the Lam
entations of Jeremiah are an inspira-
tion. an exhilaration. His face is ever
turned toward the setting and not the
rising sun. He Is never SO much at
peace with himself as when he il quar-
reling with someone else. Instinctively
he prefers funeral dirge to wedding
march and believes that the song OF
the dying swan would make most
glorious national anthem (Applause
from the Republican side). When
camping out, purely as a matter OF
choice he always pitches his tent
amid the sombre surroundings of a
cemetery. In the cheerless shade of a
weeping willow Uaughter). He is
happy only when his fellow-man is
sad. Night after night he sends up a
fervent petition to the Great White
Throne asking the Good Lord above to
visit his children with some great dis
aster such as fire or fever, flood or
famine. drouth or death. earthquake
shock or ocean storm, for in a vista
ton Of that kind his morbid and mel.
ancholy mind thinks 1t sees some
promising political possibilities (Ap-
plause on the Republican side). 1t
does not take much to encourage him.
however. When he picks up his
morning paper and reads OF a default
Ing bank cashier he at once grows
hopeful; when he scans the market re-
ports and finds that the price OF wheat
has dropped one cent he actually be-
comes cheerful; and when he learns
that cholera or some other contagion
has broken out in one of our insuIar
possessions. he simply grows delirious
with 10Y and forthwith proceeds to
gather together all manner of indorse-
ments for political job under a Demo
cratic administration (Great applause
on the Republican side)."

following January as . result Of the
contest which eliminated both Peabody
and Adams. He assumed once ut .

the whole state was wrought up over

Federation strike. and seldom has
more bitterness been engendered By .

Adams
A strong man was needed at the
helm. a man who could step In at tho
head Of the state administration and
restore peace and order. Governor
Mcdonald proved to be the man for
the place. With his accession came
An end to the turmoil. Throughout
the two years Of his administration
the state enjoyed Industrial peace and
prosperity. Its AFFAIRS probably never
