Prospective Candidates.

With the approach of the state and
district conventions prospective can
didates are being mentioned more
freely.
OF course the first position to be
considered is the governorship. So
far there have been number of
good men named for the Democratic
nomination, among them being State
Senator b. l.. jefferson of our neigh
boring county of Routt, Hon. c. w.
Franklin of Denver, and Judge A. w.
Rucker of Arapahoe county. Need
less to say the Democrats of this
county, and in fact all of Northwest
ern Colorado, will be for DIR. Jeffer-
son for governor. The doctor is well
qualified to fill this important posi-
tion. His long service in the house
and senate has brought him into con-
tact with all the leading men of the
state, among whom he is immensely
popular. Senator Jefferson is the

Denver dispatches indicate that
there is beautiful and large sized
row on between what is known as
the Evans and Guggenheim factions
of the Republican party in the capi-
tai city. But Democrats don't need
to feel any too good over this G. o. p

The Republicans are running a
double-barreled campaign. In the
East the people are told that the
election of Taft would mean the end
of Rooseveltism in the West we are
assured that the only way to con-
tinue the Bryan-Roosevelt policies
is to elect the heir apparent. Taft
does not stand on his platform and
he will find it difficult to face east
and west at the same time.-Iead-

torial race.
The next place that we are inter-
ested in, viewed from the Western
Slope standpoint, is congressman
from the second district. AS far as
we know, Senator Ed Taylor is not
seeking this nomination but his poll
tical friends may insist on his enter
ing the race. Senator Taylor is also
mentioned as one of the possible can
didates for the supreme bench. Ed
is well known and popular all over
the state and would make a strong
candidate for any position.
This year successor to Hon. j. G.
Gentry, ms district attorney, is to be
elected, and from all sections of the
district Accomplishing Pitkin, Garfield,
Rio Blanco and RoutD comes the
demand that Mr.. Gentry succeed
himself. In this matter the almost
universal demand of the people will
be complied with. Jim Gentry is an
able, impartial and fearless prosecu-
ting g-attorney, but above all he is the
personification Of honesty in all his
neutrality-suspicious. and other
wise. II there are other desirable
attributes needed in the ideal public
servant we are not aware of them;
SO Mr.. Gentry will receive the Demo-
cratic nomination for district at
torney, and-be elected by n larger
majority than four years ago.
Among the prominent people, in
these parts, who have been mention
ed for various places on the Demo-
cratic ticket, the name of Colonel b.
F. Montgomery looms up large. The
colonel has been spoken of for gov
ernor, ongressman -at-large, railroad

Joe Luxen, we'll known In this

Once more Candidate Taft is forced

Once more Candidate Taft is forced
to trail along in the wake Of Bryan.
In speech at Hot Springs, Va, last
Saturday, Mr.. Taft declared that if
elected, he would call special ses-
sion of congress to revise the tariff.
Bryan's aggressive campaign has
forced Taft to this declaration, as it
has forced him to declare in favor of
the physical valution of railroads,
the plank which was rejected by an
overwhelming majority at Chicago.
So far in this campaign, BRYAN and
Democracy are making the G. o. P.
play second fiddle.

TAKE CARE OF OUR FISH
ERIES.

The Legislature will do well %
paw some attention to the Chesa-
pc axe Bay fisheries, says the BAL
timore American The United
States Fish Com mission, which has
done marvellous work in restocking
the fisheries of the country and Civ
ing to the people cheap food, has
sounded note of alarm with regard
to the Chesapeake fisheries that NO
legislative body having the interests
of the public in its keeping can af-
ford to disregard. There are no bet
ter fish than those taken from the
waters of the, Chesapeake and its
tributaries. 1t is doubtful if there
are any waters on earth which sup
ply such varieties, with such excel
lent flavor. This privilege of fine
fishes has been enjoyed by the peo-
pie of this state for so many years
that they have lost sight of the fact
that the supply may be reduced or
exhausted by failure to pay atten.
ito to the most obvious rules.
Lessons are.rfurnished. daily by the
fish dealers, and have been furnished
for some years. There was for
a while decline in. the variety and
character of the fish, SO gradual as
almost to escape notice, but it is
possible now to observe the decline
from season to season, and it is
marked. 1t is always possible to
obtain choice fish at choice prices,
but the latter are beyond the means
of the average citizen. The fish
which are now carried around the
city are Of more common varieties
are greatly inferior to those which
were offered for sale several years
ago. The fish dealers are not to
blame for this. They cannot be ex-
pected to pay prices for things which
the average citizen will refuse to
give, and the result is that thous-
ands of people who live in the vicin-
ity of one of the finest bodies of wat.
erin the world, which has heretofore
contained the greatest variety OF the
most excellent fish, can buy, as
rule, only the refuse, comparatively
speaking, of what was in their grip
five or six years ago.
This is directly and almost exclu-
sively due to the piratical manner of
fishing at the mouths of the great
rivers. The fish are excluded from
their spawning grounds, and even
the Fish Commission is unable to
obtain enough spawn to restock the
estharies. There are laws in exis-
tence which profess to provide agains.
this, but they are never enforced.
1t must be obvious if this reckless
system of catching fish is allowed to
continue even a little while longer
there will be no fish in the Chesa-
peake worth taking, and the people
will be dependent on their supplies
from abroad. It used to be the
boast of this city that when persons
at distance desired a particularly
fine specimen of fish they sent to
Baltimore to get it. It is possible
that If inquiry were made at the
headquarters of the. leading fish deal
ers here, it would be found that the
reverse is frequently the case today.
Good laws, faithfully enforced, would
give the people supply Of fish as
abundant and varied and as highly
favored as at any period in the
states history.
