QUA s1,5oo-A-DAY LEGISLATURE.

At rough estimate the extra SEES
sion is costing the taxpayers of the
state something like $1,000 day. As
the legislature convened Tuesday,
about $500 has already been spent.
Colorado is not "A cheap commonwealth
no people have been more generous
in giving for the general good anc
greater development-bu common
sense demands certain amount OF
intelligent inquiry into all expendi'
lures. What is there to show for the
$500? AS far as results are con
cerned. absolutely nothing. The activ-
ity has been entirely political, Par
tisans have been jockeying for posi-
ton, factionists struggling for advan
tage, and politicians plying their trade.
The peoples desires, the public wei
fare, have been absolutely lost to
sight--buried under the dead weight
of political considerations. As far as
the taxpayers of Colorado are con
cerned, the 1880 has been wasted
Denver Post.
The above tells tho story in vivid
language. Although nineteen Demo
cratic members agreed to abide by
the majority report of the caucus, the
Speerltes control the senate, hence
there will be no legislation agreed on
by the senate caucus that does not
meet with the approval OF either Speer
or Senator Hughes. The grand stand
play of Billy Adams is for effect The
idea of the Conejos county statesmen
taking up the Shafroth policies and
pushing them through the general as
sembly. It's simply CUFF Senator
Adams knew what he was about when
after Democratic signatures and ask
ing the state senators to abide by
the report of the majority, He knew
full well his side of the house con.
trolled and the bluff would serve only
to fool the average voter. Judging
from late dispatches from Denver only
the most conservative Legislation will
secure the approval of the senate eau
Gus. In the meantime the expenses
OF the extra session pile up at the
rate of $1,000 per day. One days fool.
fshness costs the taxpayers more than
the apparently lax methods of Warden

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 10.-1n a
scorching statement, Governor NJ. r.
Patterson tonight withdrew from his
candidacy as democratic nominee for
governor of Tennessee, furnishing a
sensational climax to long and bit.
ter preliminary campaign. The op-

enter the primary, preferring to sub
NIT the matter to convention, and
the governor, in order to avert a
threatened slight, withdrew in the
interests of harmony.
In a signed statement given to the
Associated Press tonight, Governor
Patterson says:
Il became candidate for governor
for the third term, contrary to my
personal wishes. Conditions have
arisen, however, which appear to
make my further candidacy an in
justice, both to my friends and the

continued appeals to passion and
credulity have found lodgment which

change, and that so long as I remain
a candidate, a considerable number of
democrats will not affiliate with the

the state campaign tonight.
For weeks the republican party,
which is in power, and the democratic
party, have engaged in their efforts
to arouse the state, and the final raj.
lies were held tonight with both sides
expressing confidence that success
will rest with them when the ballots
are counted.
Rival candidates were present, Gov.
ernor Bert E. Fernald of Portland and
Frederick w. Plaisted, mayor of Au-
gusta, heading the democratic ticket.
eBsides choosing between these heads
of the ticket on Monday the voters
of the state also will elect a state
auditor, four congressman, county Of
ficers and a legislature, which will
name a successor to U. 8. Senator
Eugene Hale.
= While the contest for governor is
first in interest, it. has no great mar.
gin over that for congress in two of
the districts. For the first time in
years the republican leaders have
been called upon to fight stiffly in the
first and second districts, which gave
