THE FAKIR AT HONE.

It's truly amusing to see the
construction some of the Rio
Grande county statesmen apply to
the principle of political fusion.
Many times have they proclaimed
from the housetops their bitter
disapproval of the idea and in the
past have been obnoxiously promi-
nent in criticising Conejos county
for making up a ticket from the
best men in both parties. And
now they come out under fusion
in their own county At the
Republican convention, held some
time ago, the nomination for
county clerk was left open for the
Democrats and at the Democratic
convention held to-day, the nomi-
nation for county treasurer will be
left open for the Republicans.
So you see the Rio Grande
argument devolves itself into the
logic that fusion is wrong in
Conejos but all right in Rio
Grande. However, we don't take
our standard of morals from fakirs
of this sort. They belong along
with the Braiden bunch of aero
batic artists.

SHOULD BE pITIED.

The column of incoherent slush
concerning the editor of The
Chronicle that appeared last week
in the Alamosa organ of the indie
penitentiaries, reminds one of the
old story of the ass endeavoring to
sing. But what more could be eX-
pected to emanate from the bloated
noodle, though dwarfed and dis
eased brain of Alamosa's Bangor
Jack. Such ramblings have ever
been expected from those afflicted
with chronic alcoholism. The poor
boy should be pitied, so we'll not
censure him this time.

DROWNED, NO DOUBT.

AS Bangor Jack alighted from
the train from Pueblo last Thurs
day morning, after having spent a
day endeavoring to get himself
and his independent associates into
the Democratic state convention
and another in avoiding being con-
fined in the state institution locat-
ed in that city for the care of the
states mentally irresponsible, the
newsboy at the Alamosa depot re-
marked: HE still walks on his
toes with his chin stuck out, has
the same far-a- way look in his eyes,
but what's become of his whistle ?"

DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET

Late last Friday night the demo-
cratic convention at Pueblo after
a hard tug completed its labors
and it is said that T. M. Patterson
was not given the privilege of
naming single candidate in
return for the support of his
papers. Consequently he is now
counted in the enemy's camp but
the peerless one" is expected to
make peace. The nominations are
as follows;
L. s. senator, Chas. J. Hughes,
Jr., of Denver,
Congressman-at-large, Edward
7. Taylor of Garfield.
Congressman second district,
John A. Martin of Pueblo.
Governor, John f. Shafroth of
Denver.
Lieutenant governor, S. r. Fitz-
garrald of Telluride.
Supreme judges, ten year term,

DEMOCRATS NAME MOSES.

AT the Democratic Judicial Dis
trict convention, held at Alamosa
last night, pretty little AL Moses
was nominated for district attorney
for the Twelfth judicial district.
For the past sixteen years he has
been the biennial flower of the dis
trict, blossoming forth at each per-
iod with perfect regularity for any
kind of an office. If not for the
supreme bench, then for justice of
the peace. Any old Office looks
good to him, even though he has
never yet experienced the rapture
of an election and this will prove a
repetition of the same old story.
While it is conceded that if it were
to be beauty contest Mr.. Moses
would surely win, he being real
artist at striking becoming atti-
tudes and artistic poses. But this
happens to be political contest
and as District Attorney Pitcher
is not only the most popular man
in the district but also in Colorado,
you take it from us that his cleo
tion will border on the unanimous.
The La Jara chronicle., 1908-09-18

withdrew the challenges and all
were allowed to vote, which they
did, and the delegates originally
elected were again the overwhelm-
ing choice of the meeting. An
"hurrah for Taft" was responded
to by some of the preachers Re-
publicans with yell for Bryan.
And these are the men who have
been occupying the pulpits of our
churches, expounding the word of
the Master and masquerading as
christian gentlemen throughout
the community !
Any man who would be guilty
of deliberately entering the pri-
mary meeting of political party
of opposing political faith to the
one to which he claims allegiance,
and through misrepresentation and
deceit, endeavor to participate in
its deliberations for the purpose of
instilling discord and dissention,
is no more of man than he who
enters his neighbor's home and
leaves it corrupted. But the
preacher, fully realizing and ap-
preciating the moral aspect of the
case, who is guilty of this dis
honest trick and at the same time
prates about law enforcement,
looms up on the horizon as the
greatest fakir the cant and hypoc-
risy of religion has yet been able
to create.
We have no objection whatever
to Messrs. barley and Harrison
voting whatever ticket they may
choose. Neither do we object to
their endeavor to influence as
many votes as possible in behalf of
that ticket. But we do most siren
ous)y object to men of their ilk
posing as the moral criterions of
the community when their action
at Alamosa last week proves them
to be beings of the most diminu-
tive moral stature.
1t might be interesting to note
that the penalty attached to the
same violation of the primary
election law in the state of Mis-
souri, is from three to six months
imprisonment in the county Jail, a
fine of from $500 to 81 900 or both
such fine and Imprisonment.
