doubleday the case this year. to set
up a straw man to fight. Now he
is attacking someone unknown to
himself or anyone else, for that mat
ter, one whom he claims is attacking
his candidates.No doubt the fear that
this could be easily done without his
having any satisfactory reply to max
adds fuel to the Indignation he works
up against his straw man. And also
the fact that the friends of the Spark
are already getting busy and trading
off all the candidates he names in
order TO try to save some in which it
is more interested, makes it neccess-
airy for some showing of interest in
these candidates to be exhibited. The
public is too well aware that that
paper has never hesitated to heap "a
buse on any opposition candidate to
believe in its present conversion to
the sanity program mapped out. The
democratic candidates are in more
danger from what the Lamar demo
cratic gang will do to them than from
any republican abuse.

DENVER POST NOW FRIEND OF
HUGHES.
Attacking Gussenheim to Cover up
Its Tracks. $4,000 the Price

Denver, Oct. 13.-In a recent ad-
dress in Denver, Harry Tammen, one
OF the proprietors Of the Denver Post
explained, in manner intended to
be facetious, the editorial conduct OF
that paper. He said that he and MS
partner, Mr.. Bonfus, got up every
morning and looked at the weather
vane on the postoffice building.
Whichever way the weather vane
happens to point, that is the way our
pa per goes that day." he said.
From present indications. it APP
pears that the weather vane is now
pointing with considerable regularity
toward Charles j. Hughes. Jr, Dem
ocratic candidate for the United
States senate. The Post is vigorous
ly supporting Hughes. and the wise
ones around Denver think they know
why.
Democratic leaders have been hear
to openly boast that their party is
better financed" this fall than 1t
mas Deeu III years, anu lnSlo 10 q
statement, emanating from semi-offi-
cial sources, that the Post is to get
s25, 900 for supporting Hughes.
OF this amount, it is said, $4,000
was paid as a retainer. 100000 more
has since been turned over and the
remaining 100000 is to be paid after
election, If the Post continues to "be
good" There is always possibility
that the weather vane will change
suddenly, and the rumor has it that
Mn Hughes is so familiar with this
fact that he is taking no chances.
Then. too. 1t has to come out braz-
emily in support Of the Democratic
machine in Denver, which has re-

behalf of these gangsters. and on the
records of the supreme court his
name leads all the rest.

THE MILK OF THE cocoANUT.

Denver, Oct. lit is a wellknown
fact that the Democrats are fighting
only to elect Shafroth and a United
States senator. They are trading
everything for these two positions.
The only thing the Democratic ora
tors are trying to do is to arouse
enough antagOnism to defeat Re
publican majority in the legislature
and Governor Mcdonald. The orders
have gone forth to trade on every
other candidate.
In order to secure a Democratic
majority in the Legislature. they are
advancing the cash out Of the Stand
ard Oil and Hartman barrel to run
the anttRepublican organization in
this city and in Ell Paso county. 1t
is generally understood that the Dem
ocratic recommendation for the Unit
ed States senate (Hugbes) contrib
uted $1,000 to maintain the anti-Re-
in existence in this county.
A contribution of that amount will
keep the legislative ticket in the
field and they hope will help to de-
tract some votes from the regular
Republican ticket. What is true of
the contribution in this county is al
so true of Ell Paso and the other
counties where two tickets are be-
ing put up.

They had a bad case OF cramp and
needed attention at once. No young

About the time of the national con

They figured that the effect of the
