crowd is present at the baseball
grounds hours before the great game
for the pennant begins between New
York and Chicago. The whole city is
half crazy with the fever. One hun
dred thousand excited fans are trying
vainly- to get places or admission, but
only the capacity Of the place was al
lowed to enter. Both clubs arrived
early and began warming up. The Wis
itors were given the diamond to prac-
tice on but the crowd objected and
there were signs of trouble. Then the

The people want to get out and vote
for Taft. His pointed. manly utter

stand on the labor question. and his
absolutely frank discussion of every
issue placed before him, won the
hearts Of Colorado people. particularly

OF feeling in Denver than might have
been expected There is still "a fa ctiop
