DEMOCRATS ARE NOT
+ WORRYING ABOUT IT
Hearst Party Vote Will Cut Little Fig
ure, But the Socialists Will Have
considerable Following-Prohibi-
tionists Are Active.
Hearst News Service.

Denver, Colo, September 11.-Colo-
RADIO Republican politicians are gather
ing today in advance of the state con-
vention of the party, which will be
held tomorrow. The Democrats held
their convention in Pueblo earlier in
the week, and the political campaign
will soon be on in full blast.
Leaders of both parties are exhibit
ing great deal of confidence. Many
bitter criticisms have been directed at
the Rev. Henry Buchtel since he be-
came the Republican governor of Colo
RADIO and personalities will likely fig
ure largely in the fight.
Republican politicians express the
conviction that Taft is certain to carry
Colorado, but it is admitted that Bryan
has many adherents, in this state. In
1896 the .Nebraskan received the over
whelming plurality of 134,SS2. In 1900
the Democratic plurality was 29,661.
and in 1904 Roosevelt carried the state
by 34,5S2. There is no doubt that the
personal popularity of the president
was largely responsible for the large
vote he received. While both Taft and
Bryan may have devoted adherents,
neither are able to arouse the enthusi-
asm of the voters as did Roosevelt.
Whether Colorado's electoral vote
shall be cast for Bryan or Taft is
still uncertain, and until the votes are
counted next November, Colorado will
remain in the ranks of the doubt full
states, to be claimed by both sides.
The Hearst party will not cut any
figure but the Socialists claim to have
greatly increased the number of their
adherents in the last few years, and
the strength of that party may prove
surprise. There is also considerable
prohibition sentiment in the state,
which is likely to crystalize into votes
for Chaffin.

ton to United States.
There Is unqueStiOnably very gen.
eral desire that an end should be made
TO the existing order of things, says
writer In the London Times Many
intelligent Dominicans of the CONNER
cial class would welcome annexation
TO the United States, as it appears to
be the only means of securing peace
and prosperity.
Certain sections of the people also
are tired of the perpetual strife; the
American blacks in SANTANA Bay are
so discouraged at the hopeless out
look that, according to their leaders
they think of returning to the United
States.
Nevertheless the feeling against an
nexation pure and simple is exceed
ingly strong among the mass of Do
minicans, much stronger than Ameri
can writer's on the subject appear tc
realize, and 1t is extremely doubtful
whether it could be carried out with,
out bloodshed. They have an under
lying belief in the ultimate domination
of America over the Spanish-American
countries, but they are not yet pre-.
pared to relinquish their own indie
pendence.
So far as the writer could discover
the latter are willing to cede SANTANA
Bay on terms and would not object
to being placed in the same position as
Cuba. There is a plan favored by
many government officials and COM
tnercial men which proposes that the
United States should establish a suzer-
ainty over the country, guarantee the
Dominican bonds and take charge of
the customs, giving the government
the amount necessary for administra-
tive purposes, the republic to give up
SANTANA Bay and Manzanilla Bay as
sites for naval stations and to receive
in return a substantial sum In cash
and an annual payment.
Some such halfway scheme seems
to be the only practicable one at pres
ent and there is no doubt that the Do
minicians are ready to consider II.

ARAB HORSES.

They Have Moro Endurance than
Any Others I'm the World.
While the Arab horse cannot compete
with the English or Kentucky thorough
bred for speed, he has an endurance
which makes a strain of his blood very
valuable to even the fastest horses. In
fact. the Arab is back of all distinctive
breeds-from the thoroughbred to the
Percheron There is no horse In the
world like him. He is the purest bred
horse 81 the world, his blood uncon-
taminated for centuries.
For $500 years the Arab horses have
been in the same environment, and dur
ing all that time have been Injured to
hard usage and scanty feeding, so that
as they now exist they represent n
singular example Of that hard rule of
nature, the survival of the fittest. Dur
ing all their long history they have
been half starved during eight months
Of each year and not abundantly fed
or watered the other four This In
great measure accounts for the fact
that they have not increased in height
or weight; but, notwithstanding their
lack of size. they are very great
weight carriers and can go Journeys
day in and day out to which no other
horses are equal. AS individual horses
under the saddle, and even in the hunt
ing field, they are most excellent. Evil
dence of this does not come from the
desert alone. but has been proved In
India. In England, and to a smaller ex-
tent In America Lord Roberts rode

all his campaigns. covering an esti-
mated distance of $1,000 miles, report
ing himself that his charger never had

This longevity Of service is one of the
Arabs chief characteristics and is in
striking contrast to the short endur-
