still associated with instead of part
ner he had repudiated as he did Ed

well to find some better authority for
bolstering up such campaigning stories
than W. J. Thomas or "Cupid" Thorn
as, as he is known in Denver. He is
cited in the canard as a friend of
Burke's. Thomas was convicted sever
al years ago of bribing jurors while
acting as police magistrate in Denver
and disbarment proceedings are now
pendintg against him in the supreme
court. If the democrats are going to
spring campaign canards at the last
moment they should spring good ones
1t should not be forgotten that they
called President Mckinley the author
of a murdurous policy for prosecuting
the war in the Philippines and that
Bryan said Mckinley was organizing
a standing army to shoot down labor
ing men in the course of a certain labor
strikes. All sorts Of statements may
be looked for from democratic sources

FAKE TICKET OUT
REPUBLICANS SURE

DENVER. Oct. 27.-The decision of
the supreme court yesterday in which
the anti-Guggenheim and the Business
ticket were taken off the official ballot
has cleared the atmosphere so far as
opposition tickets within the party
ranks are concerned. and now the only
tickets on the ballot will be those of
the regular party with the exception
that Judge Lindsey is running indie
pendently for the position of juvenile
Judge.
With the fight straight one between
the republicans and democrats with
no extra tickets to vote, there is no
reason why each party should not poll
its regular strength.
There are few defections in both
parties. The republicans who were
thrown out of the state convention and
whose candidates were thrown off the
ticket yesterday are disposed to fight
but during the past three weeks the
ueldcllons III lHeli IduhS HAS Deeh so
rapid that the entire strength of the
antis will not be 1000 votes.
A peculiar feature of this also is
that they are going down the line for
the state ticket the same as the regular
republicans, but they threaten to knife
the national and the legislative tickets
on account of the person who they
claim controls or is trying to control
the party affairs at Washington How
ever, there are no Offices to be gained
nor none to be held by any republican
knitting the regular republican ticket
and it is doubtful if the leaders Of
this wing can swing very many votes
against the straight ticket
Again there are those of the demo.
cratic party who are dissatisfied with
the corporation control of that party
and who want to see that party
whipped by reason of it's affiliations
with the local and state corporations.
Without doubt defections in the demo
cratic party are just as great if not
greater than those in the republican
party. Thus the strength of the two
is practically equal and there is no rea-
son to feel that the republican party
will fall below its strength Of two years
ago.

DECLARED LEGAL

GRAND JUNCTION, Oct. 2s.-
Judge Shackleford yesterday refused
to grant the democratic central com
mittee writ of injunction or manda-
mus against the use of voting machines
in the coming election. By this de-
cision of the court it virtually save
the election for Mesa county. For had
the writ been granted there would not
have been time before election to get
out the regular Australian ballots. And
it was shown in the examination of
witnesses that the committee must
have known this fact.
In his statement the Judge unquali-
idely stated that it was not case
! where the merits or demerits could be
considered in the least, but it was q
clear case of legality in which there
| was no doubt. He referred to an act
passed by the state legislature on April
10, 1905, submitting constitutional

authorizing the purchase and use OF
voting machines to be used in elections

Attorney E. C. Stimson Of Denver
argued the case for the plaintiffs Civ

machine and of the law relating to
same. s. M. Lorgan presented the case
in behalf of the voting machine and ex'
posed the childly and untimely attack
upon the machines by the petitioners.
Then Judge Shackleford rendered his
decision which sustained the use of the
voting machines as being perfectly
legal.

Saturday, the 18th, we had fine
shower, and after the shower had passed
over we got several little dashes. But
OF the shower of Friday We only got the
tail end for all that farmers were very
much pleased, and some expressed the
opinion that there was water enough to
carry the early set tobacco through to
the harvest, but with the increased
amount of Saturday and Sunday there
is no doubt expressed but the crop will
not suffer again although the late SET
will be benefited by additional rainfall.
With the early set tobacco some of the
topping began ten days ago, and some of
it has been clean topped for nearly
week Such fields will only require
about two weeks more to bring it to the
harvest, but when the ground has been
dried out to the depth of two feet, it
takes lot of water to ill it up again.

Being in the midst of the dog day sea-
son the exceptionally oppressive and
nasty weather is not conducive to stimu-
late any energy for doing business. The
excessive heat and humid atmosphere
may be good for accelerating bumper
crop, but they do take the life out of
human effort and activity. The market
is simply dead What little business is
being done is done almost automatically.
Rarely was the market as bare of buyers
as just now 1t is spell l-bound by an en-
ervating lassitude. Almost the only in
teresting item worthy of any notice is
the summary review issued by one of
the makelaar houses at Amsterdam in
regard TO sales effected at the iDscrip-
tions up to and inclusive of July the
10th, which was the last ante-vacation
inscription. From this statement it ap-
pears that there have been sold SO far
186, ITO bales at an average price of lO5
cents (Dutch), while during the same
period last year there were sold l74,286
bales at an average price OF 18l cents
lDutch). This is a rather remarkable
statement, for it shows that about $4,000
bales were sold more this year SO far
than last, while the average price was 81
cents less than last year. Both the
larger sales and the lower price will
come as surprise. The lower price
might have been an inducement for the
non American countries to invest in a
larger supply of Sumatra, while the fact
that America has taken from one-fourth
to one third less of this years Sumatra
offerings than last year and the year be-
fore, would lead to the conclusion that
there must have been far less of desira-
BILE American marks in this years offer
ings than for many years past. 1t will
have to be inferred further that the linn
tied quantity of American marks must
have commanded comparatively larger
price in order to enable the larger nom
American bulk to average the Is per
cent. lower price. It is evident also that
this years Sumatra must have suffered
too in sympathy with the general de-
preston in tobacco prices. The falling
off can hardly be ascribed to any dific-
lent qualities of the leaf as the new i'm
portations have been hailed with salts
faction by our cigar industry. Journal.

MARKET.
EDGERToN, Wis, July 81, 1905

EDGERToN, WIS, July 81, 1908.
News in the local tobacco markets are
extremely scarce these days of high tenn
perature, when most of the trade are
seeking vacations or cool resorts. A
few stray movements in the '07 crop are
reported, but very little effort is noted
towards lifting the remnants in country
hands. The samples of 1400 case pack
ing at Deerfeld have been forwarded to
New York this week which need only
the acceptance of a large manufacturing
concern to complete the most important
transaction in '06 that has taken place
in some weeks. An even one hundred
hands are employed by Geo. Gary on a
stripping contract. Several of the ware
houses at GAINESVILLE. are still engaged in
packing OF or stemming.
The market for cured leaf reflects the
complaints of the eastern centers of
trade, which is slow and dull. Sales are
invariably limited to small lots
The new crop has been making tre-
mendous strides under the influence of
the extreme heat of the week. Several
local showers have fallen, but in some
localities rain is reported needed. The
storm of Friday was especially severe in
the northern Dane county sections about
Windsor and DeForest, accompanied by
hail that injured good many forward
fields. Topping is now becoming quite
general, which indicates that much of
the crop will reach harvest during
August.
The shipments out of storage reach
859 cases from this market for the week
to all points.

SroUGHToN, WIS, July %, 1908.

Owing to the frequent rains and warm
weather, the new crop of tobacco has
made tremendously rapid growth the
we will have the earliest harvest in this
state or section that we have had in sew
eral years. A large proportion of the
crop will be harvested in August, and, if
nothing happens to the growing crop,
all indications point to one of the finest
crops that Wisconsin has ever raised.
Early harvests always mean light colors,
good quality and a safe tobacco to pack.
This is the opinion Of one tobacco dealer
concerning the '08 crop.-Hub.

NEw YORK, July %, 1908.

The local leaf market has been bare of
interest for week. midsummer dulness
prevailing generally. The dealers rec
ognize that it is between seasons and
do not look for anything but routine
business for a month to come. From
Wisconsin comes the news that the set
ting out of the new crop has been COM
pleted under the most favorable circum-
stances, and that some of the early set
plants are a foot high. News equally
encouraging is heard from Pennsyl vania
and in fact from all the cigar leaf grow
ing states. A seven per cent decrease
in the acreage devoted to tobacco in the
United States is noted IN recent re-
report from the Statistical bureau and
as an inspection of the report shows that
in all the states that raise tobacco for
purposes other than cigar leaf with the
exception of kentucky the acreage has
been increased, it will be seen that the
decrease in acreage in the cigar leaf
growing states must be considerably
larger than the seven per cent. average

NOTE BOOK SKETCHES


With the new crop making such re-
markable strides toward a harvest and
everything looking SO promising in this
section of the state. but for one or two
things there would be great tempta-
tlon for buyers to contract for the crop
IN the fields. If the present market con-
ditions were more favorable--if cured
leaf was Ia demand and manufacturers
eager to buy rather than wait at the
bargain counter, there might be more of
an incentive 60 enter into deal in new
leaf. But the bitter experience OF pack
ers in the 1906 crop has by no means
been forgotten. No one cares to repeat
the mistakes of that season, and they
were many. These are the controlling
reasons why, however great the tempta-
ton, the new crop is likely to be moved
along conservative lines. So much
hinges upon the conditions of general
business and the tobacco trade, most
susceptible of all, must await the turn
of better times.

ONCE MORE
REIGNS OVER FIRE
BOARD OF ORANGE
Assistant Chief, and Not Presik
dent Martin, Will Take Charge
in Matthews's Absence.
AMICABLE SETTLEMENT
OF DIFFERENCES REACHED
Agreement Arrived at in Cues
tion of Awarding Contract
fOrsChemicaI Engine.

Following a series of differences
among me mbers of the Orange Fire
Commission. reports of which were ex-
clusively published in THE EVENING
STAR, the members of the commits
sion last night, at a special meeting,
discussed the questions and Commits
sloner Sumter j.. Beegle. who led the
aggressive fight against what he called
nnwarranted authority on the part OF
President George A. Martin, secured a
correction of several alleged mistakes.
The Question of who was to act as fire
department chief in the absence of
chief William H. Matthews, was set
tied de~otsively. The session promised
to be a stormy one. but ended peace
ably.
The principal business of the eve
ming was involved in the question of
authority 10 be placed on Assistant
Chief Joseph Beamon when Chief Mat
thews was away. President Martin
said he was the man to act as chief
while Chief Matthews was away and
that when BeaInon went out In the
chiefs gig he, merely went in Presi-
dent Martins place. This a vigor-
ously objected to by Commissioners
Beegle, who declared the rules proved
his contention that the assistant chief
was to act in the chiefs place. The
discussion was ended by the appearance
of city Counsel william A. Lord. who
sustained Mr.. Beegle, and Mr.. Martin
accepted the counsel's dictum.
Another matter that was threshed
out and settled was the question raised
as to the award of a contract for n
combination chemical engine to the
Boyd concern of Philadelphia. The
contract was held up in the city coun~
SETS office pending the settlement or
the point raised as to- the n to be
furnished. Counsel Lord was directed
to go ahead and prepare the contract
The third question was raised by Com
missioner Beegle anent the transfer of
horses from the valley company house
10 headquarters. and it was announced
that in the future the commissioner
would be consulted before any such
transfers were made.
Still another objection raised was
tina Of Mr.. Beegle, who said it was
reported a commissioner had told the
telephone company to send the tele-
phoped alarms to headquarters and dis
continue the old plan OF notifying all
three department houses at once. The
commissioner declared II had happened
that on one occasion the Fourth ward
companies had to wait on a street cor
ner until Chief Matthews arrived to
direct them where to go. Chief, Mat
thews was directed to arrange With the
telephone concern to send the alarm
simultaneously to all fire houses as
had been the former custom. Each of
the commissioners denied he had made
any arrangement for the change.
City Counsel Lord aid that the laws
did not prevent the payment semi
monthly of firemen's salaries, and it is
likely the commission. at a meeting on
Friday might, win direct such method
of payment.
