Colorado Goes Democratic.

One of the surprises of the campaign
is the fact that Colorado goes democratic
from governor to assembly. The factional
fights over certain matters in Denver
and the effort to put an end to Gabbert-
ism in the supreme court did it. The
result is not wholly satisfactory to the
democrats becausea corporation attorney
(Hughes) goes to the United States SEN
ate. Bill Evans, sometimes republican,
sometimes democratic boss. loses the
supreme court (on the republican side)
but gains a United States senator Con
the democratic side.
John A. Martin, elected to congress
from the End district, is boyhood friend

Pumpkin Hollow, Jan. II, 1908.
DEAR JIM: The Hard Times Ball,
given by the Pumpkin Hollow Literary
Society, last Thursday night, was a
bowling success as everybody from the
smallest child to the oldest person in the
neighborhood threw his whole heart and
soul into the affair. The children danced
the Virginia Reel and had barrels OF fun
and the way some of those gray-headed
elderly persons went after the old fash
ioned quadrille was great. My old grand
dad was there and when Balance on the
Corner was called he stepped off yard
or two of the hottest breakdown jig steps
you ever saw and grandma laughed her
self sick at him. Really. Jim, You would
have thought him about 20 years old
from the way he cut up.
Now take this tip don't overlook any
chance of attending one of these affairs
for they are certainly it. All formality
cast aside and rattling good time is gone
in for.
Remember me to the folks and come
over when you can.
Your Cousin, BELLE.

mothers wedding dress to the Ball and
