We can see the certain approach
of irriparable disruption in the re-
publican party. Every unpartisn
person will concede it. Many re-
publicans have and are admitting it..
1t is inevitable. There is every
evidence that this year is the last
of the republican party. Its death
knell has been sounded by con-
gress. 1t is but necessary that
Taft attend the burial.
The events of the past week i'll
Chicago prove that the party cam
not hope to survive. With Taft
gobbling up the delegations with a
high hand and Roosevelt controll-
the committee, there can be no
result than bolt. Taft S nomina-
ton is conceded. We concede it
and fervently hope that he will win
the convention. Not onehalf of
the republican party will support
him. Most likely the Foraker de-
legates will bolt. Could the dem
ocrats want better? Foraker, dis
gruntled and alone, would be joke
as all independent Presidential
candidate. His followers, realiz-
ing this, will vote the democratic
ticket. Many republicans not in
sympathy with the Foraker move
ment will also vote the democratic
ticket. Their eyes have been
opened.
Bryan cannot help being elected

CUBA CELEBRATES
FOURTH OF JULY"
Especial to The Sentinel.

Havana, May 20.--Cuba's Fourth
of July" the anniversary Of the in
auguration of the republic. was cele-
brated today with much enthusiasm
throughout the island. Sports of all
kinds dear to the heart of the Cuban
were indulged in, the orators sang
the praises of Cuba libre" and were
loud in the predictions of glorious
future. bands played, explosives and
firecrackers made a hideous din, and
in other ways the celebration resam-
bled the annual patriotic outburst of
the big republic which is now acting
as temporary guardian of Cuba.
The newly organized Junta Pa
triotica, with a board composed of
100 members, under the presidency
of the aged Marquis of Santa Lucia.
played prominent part in the pa
triotic exercises. The object of the
league is to interfere in political
struggles and prevent i'll feeling
revolutions and acts of violence from
future governments, which. leading
to armed protests, might endanger
order and cause Intervention again.
Marquis de Santa Lucia was presi-
dent of the so-called Cuban Republic
in the bushes during the war of 1868
1873. LaLucia says 1t is a pity that
he is too old to become the only pres
idential candidate for all Cubans in
the forthcoming election.

Denver, May 2O.-It is generally
believed that the annual encampment

in regard to the recent trouble that
existed at the Soldiers & Sailors
Home, and that resolutions will be
adopted severely .criticising Governor
Buchtel. the directors and all who
participated in the retaining of Com
mander Aldrich at the home.
The department will also elect
John w. Wingate department COM
mander as a rebuke to Governor
Buchtel s-.
Wingate is the man whom Cover
nor Buchtel fired off the board of
control of the home. The law pro
vides that the department command
er of Colorado and Wyoming shall
be member of the board. BY elect
ing him department commander. the
soldiersaplt him back to a position
from which the governor fired him.
At recent meeting a committee
was appointed to draft resolutions
suitable to the feelings of the old
soldiers regarding the entire mat

its work and the resolutions are,
to say the least, warm. They de
nounce the management of the home,
the governor, and. in fact, everything
relative to the incident as reviewed

was that Speer ran light in the lower

Another feature was that Phelps

Mr.. Speer has advanced the fl

against him were known to be un-

Republicans Not Sincere.
So far as the reform campaign is
concerned it cut very little figure
for the people of Denver knew that
the reform question was not before
them. If the republican party of
Denver had been out for reform, 1t
would not have had a paid attorney
for the gambling syndicate as its
campaign manager; neither would it
have put up a candidate for mayor
who openly stated that he took a
drink when he wanted it.
so far as the church sentiment is
concerned, only about 1 2 of the more
than 500 ministers in the city took
any part at all. The large majority
of the ministers We're not misled in
to the belief that reform campaign
was on. Those who did mix up are
those who usually get their sermons
printed on Sunday and are not the
ones who attend to the strict duties
for which churches are built and in
corporated.
'The election of Speer is not a
rundown for the reform element of
Denver.
''lf the republican party had placed
n nian like Frank Goudy at the head
of it's ticket and come out on a gen
uine reform platform and thrown to
one side its leaders who were paid
