HOCC, HAMLN
AND HACCOTT
The Three "Rs", But Not the Three "R's"-Rum, Rom
ansim and Rebellion That Brough the
Republican Party Disaster

The big three at the republican
banquet tonight will be Hogg, Hag-
gott and Hamlin.
These names. because of their be-
ginning with the same letter, are
somewhat ominous, as once upon a
time three words were used COM
mencing with r, which brought dis
aster to the republican party, they
being Rum. Romanism and Rebel
lion.
The very great service done for
the End congressional district by ex-
Congressman Hogg has not immor-
taIized him to the great constituency
which he represented. He did earn
reputation as story-teller. but
beyond that nothing was secured
through his service whatever. and
the congressional company at Wash
ington being too fast for him he re-
signed.
The Hon. Warren Haggott has
thus far in his congressional career
seconded motion, from which su-
preme service it is said by the Wash
ington correspondents, he came near
fainting. 1t is believed that If elect
ed to represent this district again he
may rise to the distinction of hav-
ing moved the adjournment of the
house.
When we compare the eminent
service rendered to his district in
wyoming by Hon. Mr.. Mondell, 1t
seems strange, indeed, that district
of the wealth and prominence of the
End congressional district of Colo
RADIO should be unable to secure
federal building or any other pub
lie improvement through its con-
gressional representative.
Three towns of less size than this
city in the state of Wyoming. one
of them 80 miles from a railroad.
have federal buildings, the result of
the personal efforts of their con-
gressman, Mr.. Mondell.
The republican cohorts will be
told tonight that some time Grand
Junction will secure a federal build
ing. This will be received with
cheers as 1t comes from the throat
of our redoubtable congressman.
All the lesser lights at the ban
quet will be given chance to see
Clarence Hamlin, from Little Lun-
non. who is being brought here to
advance his candidacy for the Unit
ed States senate. Hamlin can buy
is pretty rich-not quite as rich.
perhaps, as Hon. Simon; but worth
perhaps a million at least.
But, where, oh! where is Parson
Buchtel? Was there no invitation
extended to him. From private
sources we understand that his name
was proposed as one of the principal
speakers; but the big Five" would
have none of it. They said that he
was good enough to come here and
preach. but they did not want any
of his psalm singing at the big ban
quet
Poor Buchtel, to be thrown down
like that, is certainly hard stab
politically. And then, everyone
knows that the parson loves to come
to Grand junction better than any
place in Colorado. But the big
Five" said that there had been too
much church business already, and
that they were going to have free
and easy time once in their lives,
without being annoyed by having the
Hon. Henry Augustus Buchtel preach
TO them every time.
Someone was mean enough to say
that Buchtel said that, If he came,
Attorney Selig would have to be in
vited to stay at home from the BAN
quet: that he could not sit in the
same room with Selig and his depu-
ty. Johnny Fry.
State Boiler Inspector William
Stockton is here for the affair, and
he don't like 1t a little bit that his
big chief was not invited to the
event. Several of the lesser lights
We're saying this morning that Buch-
tel wouldn't mind: that 1t was a
small affair, anyway; but. when 1t is
