FIVE DOLLARS A

30.-Authentic information was

the Western Sugar g. Land com
pany in this city, which is con-
trolled by Werner q. Reed, J. r.
McKinnie and other prominent

state will not be affected by the
fight that is now in progress be-
tween the Arkansas valley beet
growers and the American Beet
Sugar company.
The Western Sugar & Land
company says that it will con-
tinue as heretofore to pay $5 fiat
a ton for the beets. The fight be-
tween the Arkansas valley and
the American Beet Sugar com
pany is the result Of an announce
ment made by the sugar company
that they would not pay more

Meets To Discuss Plans For Political

NOT THE SLIGHTEST DIsCoRD

it with "A county convention Of the
party held in Dougan s hall in
1896 when from all over the coun-
ty but l3 delegates could be Sc
cured. Almost every delegate
was obliged to accept a nomina-
ton to office and thus the ticket
was filed. Times have changed
wonderfully in that short time
and Mr.. STREET expressed the hope
that a Republican ticket might
be elected next fall 50 that our
taxes might not be increased ev-
cry year.
j. b. Hurlburt, also from Grand
Valley. was called upon and made
some interesting remarks. Mr..
Hurlburt is one Of those whose
allegiance to the party has not
always been what it should be,
but he says it will be different in
the future.
w. S. Parkison now moved that
an executive committee of seven
be elected by the club with Joe
HUM of Glenwood as chairman.
This was amended to make it a
committee of nine, three members
from each commissioners dis
trict. and the following committee
was selected:
J. S. HUM, }. l.. Noonan and
C. C.. Parks, Glenwood; r. c. Cal
len. Divide creek; Frank Sweet,
Carbondale; George Yule, Gar
field creek; J. W. Ritter, New
Castle; NJ. II. STREET, Grand Val
ley. and c. l.. Todd, Rifle.
w. S. Parkison spoke on the
needs of the organization and the
value it might be to the regular
county organization and closed
with a motion that the club give
banquet on the evening of Feb
ruary %, and that speakers be
selected from Pitkin, Rio Blanco
and Ea gle counties. The motion
prevailed by unanimous vote.
J. l.. Herwick made some re
marks Incorporating a number OF
suggestions for the future work
ings of the club.
Henry Brown and deacon
Jones represented the colored
population in announcing their
allegiance to the party.
Judge Noonan when called up
on said there had been too little
unity of action in the party in
the past and too much kicking
and he pleaded guilty to being
one of the kickers. He said, how
ever, that he was through with
that kind of tactics and ready to
put his shoulder to the wheel for
the success of the party.
The meeting throughout was
characterized by optimism and
enthusiasm and those who have
been associated with the work
ings of the party for the past few
years Were delighted to note the
absence of friction and most
harmonious spirit.
The club adjourned to meet at
the banquet February %.
The Glenwood post., 1908-02-01

The first public meeting of the
Garfield County Republican club
was held at the court house We'd
nesday evening, about so people
being in attendance. Consider
ing that this club was organized
only three weeks ago the splendid
attendance and unusual interest
manifested are matters of great
qualification to local Republicans.
The meeting was called for the
county court room, but it soon be-
came evident that more room
would be needed and an adjourn
ment was taken to the district
court room.
President George Yule called
the meeting to order with some
very pertinent remarks. He call
ed attention of all present to the
achievements of the party in the
past and its prospects and posi-
bilities for the future. He said
he noticed those present who had
carried the burdens and fought
the battles of the party in days
past and while some of them had
occasionally turned from the we'll
beaten path he was glad to see
them back again with the grand
old party of progress. He said
he could see no reason why Gar
field county should not henceforth
be listed in the Republican col
umn.
Mr.. Parkison then arose and
said there was present promi-
nent Republican of a neighboring
county, a man who stood high in
the councils of his party and who
had by that party been honored
as one of it's leaders and lawmak-
ers and he asked the chairman to
call on Hon, Isaac Baer of Meek
er.
Upon being called to the floor
Mr.. Baer expressed his apprecia-
ton at being called on to address
the Republicans of neighboring
county. He referred to the
marvellous opportunities of this
county in coal, irrigation and
agriculture and urging all to up
hold the party, the only party
which had ever achieved any
thing Of consequence for the peo-
pie.
J. S. HUM was introduced as
the man who had been licked so
often that he rather liked it. He
explained that he did not really
enjoy defeat, but he was able to
endure it once in awhile without
crying. He thought with all Re-
publicans of this county working
together as the meeting indicated
there was a disposition to do there
should be no fear as to the result.
Does Not Want Taxes Increased.
NJ. II. Streit, postmaster at
Grand Valley, and one whose Re.
publicanism has never wavered,
was the next speaker. He said
that meeting looked good to him
and he could not help contrasting
