long it was after that before he could
hear the air played without recurrence
of the bitterness Of that moment. The
rhythmical pathos of the violins was
in such accord with a faint sound Of
weeping which he heard near him
presently that for a little while he be-
lieved this sound to be part of the mu-
sic and part of himself. Then it be-
came more distinct. and he raised him

PULL FOR THE TOWN.

Every resident of Saratoga should
make it is his business to pull for the
best interests of the town. If it is his
home, it is to his interest to work for
the best interests of the town. If he
is a transient, a mar without any per-
manent interest anywhere, you can
not expect him to become enthusiast
tic, but the man who lives here, who
makes his money here, aud who will
lie benefited by any rise the town
may get from any source, should al
ways be ready to say "a good word Tor
Saratoga and her business interests.
When you hear a resident of the
town making d~isparaging remarks
about it, or any of its resources, you
can put him down as a knocker and
it will do him good if you will tell
him that his room is better than his
company. A man who knocks the
town ought to be on the outside,
somewhere, and the farther away he
is the better it will be for both he and
the town.

REVIEW OF REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES

The Sun wishes to express its salts
faction at the denomination of Hon.
Sam. F. Price, of this place, for the
Senate. He is just completing his
first term of four years and has given
such salts faction in the position of
state senator that we have no doubt
in the world but what he will again
he honored with the office. He stands
well with his fellow senators and is
able to command their support, a
matter of great advantage to this
county. He is an able, safe and con
scientious law-maker and is the man
for the place.
The denomination of Hon. G.. M.
Winkleman and Hon. w. T. Peryam
is also very gratifying to the Sun,
as both those gentleman are able
and reliable law makers. 1t is often
said that IA legislator is not of much
service to his constituents during his
first term. We do not think this
will hold good in the case of either
one of the gentlemen above named,
as both proved their efficiency in
their first terms, MIR. Peryam having
served two terms already. Mr.. Wink.
leman is prominently spoken of as
Speaker of the House. We have no
doubt but he would fill the position
with credit and be a power in the af-
fairs of the state.
W. ii. Taylor is a promising young
attorney of Encampment who will be
an efficient law-maker in the lower
house of the state Legislature.
Chris Mathison, of Rawlins, II of
the nominees for the House, was at
one time prosecuting attorney for
Carbon county. He is a bright apa
BILE man and will properly represent
Carbon county in the 10th Legisla-
ture. James w. Case, the nominee
for the House from Hanna, is well
and f~avorably known here, having
lived on IA ranch on Pass creek for a
number Of years. He is an honest,
conscientious man and will make a
good member of the legislature.
w. n. Toothaker, the nominee for
treasurer is "a ranchman on Beaver
creek in the southern part of the
county. He is an honest, capable
man and will make "a good treasurer.
D. l.. Winsor. the nominee for the
four year term for county commits
sioner is one of the best men in the
county and IL that will give entire
satisfaction in that important office.
He will certainly not be swayed from
what he believes to be fair and lust
and every man will have a right to
expect that Mr.. Winsor will be a lust

county. The same can be said of
Matt Webber, the nominee for the !

MOTHER AND BABE
INJURED BY CAR
Car Starts Too Soon and
Throws Woman and Child
to Ground

Alleged carelessness, by which car
! was started up too soon. brought seri-
Gus and possibly fatal injury to a
mother and her baby yesterday after
noon, when Mrs. ;SalHe Holland, 1914
Capitol avenue, and her year old
daughter, Ruth, were hurled to the
pavement at Seventh and Mission
streets as they were attempting to
board the car
With a fractured skull Baby Ruth is
at the receiving hospital and may not
recover. Her mother is as seriously
injured. Her right arm is broken and
she is internally hurt.
Mrs. Holland had been shopping up
town and with her arms filled with
bundles started to climb aboard an out
bound Hoffman avenue car. Placing
the baby on the steps, Mrs. Holland
had one of her own feet on the running
board when the motorman turned on
the power and she was thrown back
ward, striking on her side with her
arm doubled beneath her.
Standing alone ON the steps witbo
support, Baby Ruth held her balance
for few feet. when the shouting of
passengers who had witnessed the ac-
cident caused the motorman to apply
the brakes. The tot was pitched for
ward from the platform and struck on
her head and shoulders.
Mother and baby were picked up,
one unconscious and the other nearly
so, and carried into a nearby store
while the ambulance was sent for. In
dignation that threatened to take tan
gible form was loudly expressed at the
car crew, both of whom were on the
front end of the car when the accident
occurred in the rear.

and at S:45 the doodle dees got down
to business again.
The trouble in committee arose over
a resolution prepared by c.. d. Haines
OF Alameda and submitted for insertion
in the platform. This resolution de-
nounced the Southern Pacific for inter-
fering In politics and directed the gov
ernment to purchase all the railroads.
As Hearst has had tender feeling
for Hartman for some time the Exam
iner programmes would have none of
this. and the committee, headed by
Gessner Williams, who ran for attor-
ney general on the doodle dee ticket,
completely ignored it after long
squabble.

aged to get his resolution before the
