1904, but he continues to use the
speech of demagogue. = Pueblo
Chieftain.

When voters grow to believe
less and talk less about general
corruption; about everyone who
has anything to do with politics
being either bribers or bribe TAX
ers, they will rest easier and be
that much nearer reformers
themselves. We would hate to
profess to believe that our neigh
bors were all corrupt and dis
honest much more would we
dislike to be heard expressing
such an opinion. There are no
doubt dishonest people in politics
just as there are horse thieves
sometimes found in community
of honest citizens. But when the
time comes when we would be
forced to accept the slander as
truth, that a majority of the
American people, in or out of
politics, are corrupt and dishon-
est, we would want to quit the
country.

County Chairman Mathews es-
Inmates the total vote of Delta
county at present to be $500.
An average poll of this vote
would probably be from 5000 to
3, 200 at a presidential election.
He estimates that the percent
age of Republican votes at last
Saturdays primaries would per-
haps reach 65 to 70 of the county
Republican vote. The vote polled
at the primaries was 1,219, a
larger vote than the entire poll
in 1906, the last general election.
Taking the number cast at the
primary as 65 per cent of the
Republican vote of the county at
this time it would raise the Re-
publican vote of the county to
about 1,600. The scattering par
ty vote in the county two years
ago was something like 900-of
which Haywood received 500,
Chamberlain so and others 370.
While the situation is perhaps
slightly in favor of a Republican
majority on general principles
this fall, it is plainly to be seen
that there is no "cinch" about
the matter, and it behooves the
Republicans of Delta county to
not only put out their best tim
ber but to work hard for the
election of the men nominated.
If they do this, they stand the
best chance of any party in the
county to win.

Panama mosquitoes have been

A dishonest election judge is
neither a Democrat nor Republi-
can, but a criminal who ought to
be punished.
The big fleet is the best adver-
tisement Uncle Sam ever turned
out. 1t is betting the globe with
the story of Americas greatness.
Illinois is interested in celebra-
tions of the Lincoln-Douglas de-
bate. 1t is big drop from this
subject to one of Bryan's haran-
CUES.
Col. Bryan is determined to
repeat his old plan of touring the
country on speaking expedition.
That voice Of the colonel's is a
fatal gift.
How many exploded para
mount issues can a politician
carry and still survive as a party
leader? A cat has nine lives and
a foxy demagogue may have
more.
The government engineers and
sanitarians at Panama are build
ing a monument for themselves
that the world will honor and
history everlastingly preserve.
Mr.. Bryan's growth of con-
servatlsm" is subject he care
fully avoids in Nebraska. He is
fused in that state with the Pop
ulists, and on a platform that
meets their views.
Democratic editors are to be
special agents in collecting cam
paign contributions for Mr.. Bry-
ans fund. 1t will be tough when
a farmer whose subscription is
in arrears hands in a S1OO bill
for the matchless one with the
silvery voice.

CONVENTION.

Tomorrow is Republican con-
vention at Delta. The conven-
tion will elect 13 delegates to
attend the Republican state con-
vention set for September 18th,
in Denver, and will nominate
county officers. The primaries
were held last Saturday and del
egates appointed from the vari-
GUS precincts who were elected
by the voters to represent them
in naming candidates for the Of
fees to be filled. That the work
of the convention should proceed
without discord, is or should be
the desire of all Republicans.
Nominate good men for the off
ces and then let US all work for
their election. The campaign
will be short. Let US make it
earnest and effective.

PLAIN TIM. O'CONNOR.

Among the very efficient off
GERS of State at present there is
none of greater efficiency than
our Secretary of State, Timothy
O'Connor. In the administra-
tion of his department, Mr..
O'Connor has adopted clean,
clear and systematic methods
which, for his term, will leave a
record not surpassed by any pre-
vious Secretary and equaled by
but few. Having performed his
duties thus honestly and salts
factorily, it will be especially
gratifying to his friends to know
that he is likely to be nominated
for a second term for Secretary
of State, and very many citizens
outside of his party will wish
him success.

The British battle ship Indom-
table, which brought the prince
of Wales to the Quebec celebra-
ton, has main battery of eight
l2-lnch guns, or twice as many
as are provided on any American
ship. She is faster than any
other warship and her coal ca
pacity enables her to make a
tremendous run. These are
points that call for consideration
in all other navy departments.

The Democrats are having
their little tilts in the State, and
in Delta as well, just like the
Republicans. In the matter of
factional strife one is about as
much in the mud as the other is
in the mire. Usually these things
don't count for much at election
time, by which period differences
are sufficiently forgotten as to be
overcome by party enthusiasm.
The parties arc both a little late
this year in getting their differ
ences Strengthened out and to
work, but it is anticipated that
results will be much the same.
Harmony will be restored and
election time will show largely
party vote.

Comment G upon Bryan's
statement that the main issue of
the campaign is, "Shall the peo-
pie rule?" the Springfield Union
invites the Democratic candidate
to consider that in 1896 Bryan
was defeated by a plurality of
719, 952 of the popular vote, in
1900 Bryan was defeated by a
plurality of 849, 100 of the popu-
lar vote, and in 1904 Parker was
defeated by 2, ,545, 515 of the pop
ular vote. What Taft's plurality
will be this year the Chieftain
does not pretend to know, but it
is safe to say that whoever is
elected, it will be because the
people of the United States want
him to be President. Bryan may
have improved greatly since

party vote.

Said a citizen the other day,
the whole political situation in
Colorado reminds me of a sailor
who resolved to quit the sea and
become a landsman. He went
to a farmer and got a job and
was started at blowing. In the
lead was a yoke of oxen and at
the plow a mare. In turning a
corner the oxen got wrong and
the mare got mixed up, the
whole bunch running away. The
new man fresh from salt water
rushed to the house yelling:
Farmer! Farmer! The star
boad OK is on the larboard side,
the larboard OK is on the star
board side, the mares tangled
up in the rigging and the whole
craft is going to hi stern fore
most.

Judge A. R. King of Delta is
not only the logical but now a
very probable candidate for Su-
preme Judge. And it is doubt
full if in the state can be found a
man better fitted or qualified to
sit on Colorado's supreme court
bench. Judge Kings sterling
character and blunt honesty are
qualities which, when coupled
with a knowledge of law gained
by intense study and long prac-
tice, are what the public looks
for in an ideal judge, and for
Judge King to obtain a nomina-
ton and election to the supreme
bench would meet the highest
approval of his hosts of friends,
who gauge him solely by the
knowledge they have of his
merits.

The officers of the Agricultural
College are having about as much

accounts. Looks like they have

If, as is reported, sporting
men have offered to wager as
high as five to one on Taft
against Bryan, they show an un-
usual amount of confidence this
early in the campaign. What
ever may be said against election
betting or other classes of gam
bling, it has long been held that
among the class who bet are
some of the slnartest and best
posted men of any class, and the
drift of odds is generally accept
ed as at least straw to show
which way the political wind is
likely to blow in November.
