STEPHEN AND SQUARE DEAL"
Republican candidat. for Governor
Promises Business Administration.

Adherence to the policy of square
deal" to all. support Of the Roosevelt
and Taft ideals of government. guar
antee OF business methods in conduct
ing affairs Of state and rigid economy
in handling its finances. is, in brief,
the platform upon which Senator John
B. Stephen of Colorado City asks cleo
ton as governor on the Republican
ticket. Mr.. Stephen has made his po-
sition plain in statement given out
just before the Republican state con-
rention. This declaration appealed to
the peoples convention" at Colorado
Springs SO forc;bly that delegates al
most unanimously demanded his NOM
ination. 1t is statement that will ap-
peal to every Coloradoan. who sin
cerely desires a business administra-
tion.
| Mr.. Stephens statement follows:
If elected governor of Colorado,
shall as far as comes within my
power support the Taft and Roosevelt
policies of national progression and
shall work for the enactment. .of those
local measures, which will enlarge the
powers Of the people of Colorado to
act for themselves in matters pertain
ing to state government
"The Republican party has been the
party OF advancement for the past so
years. All beneficial measures that
lave been enacted nationally have
come through our party and its record
in the several states shows that it
has been the organization through
which the Individual states have made
their greatest advancement, therefore
believe 1t to be for the best interests
of Colorado that our party shall be
entrusted with the administration Of
state affairs.
Il believe with former President
Roosevelt that every interest is en-
titled to the same protection which is
accorded to every individual so long
as 1t conforms to the law"
The man who has the power to act
is to be judged, not by his words, but
by his acts, and by his words insofar
as they agree with his acts.
This principle uttered by former
President Roosevelt early this year,
expresses my view and 1t can be ap-
piled to the administration of Presi-
dent Taft. His acts can certainly be
compared favorably with, not only his
promises, but the promises of his
party In the platform upon which he
was elected. The results President
Taft has actually achieved Justify all
prediction pledges. II am chosen

Washington RumOr Going Rounds to
Effect That Flint Has Been Tenta-
lively Selected as Next Secretary OF
Interior-Believed Ballinger Will be
Sacrificed for Good of the Party
Flint Is Ballingerite But Friendly to
PinchOt.

Washington, Aug 10.-Senator
Flint of California, is slated to sue
ceed Secretary Ballinger, according
to credited rumors. Politicians be-
lieve that Crane and Ballinger dis
cussed the retirement of the secretary
of the interior at st. Paul for the
sake of the party in the coming cam
paign. 1t is believed Flint, who is
announced as a candidate for reelec-
ton, is tentatively selected for the
place.
1t is pointed out that Flint, who is
classed as a Ballingerite, is also
friendly with Pinchot. Flint was a
member of the Ballinger investigat-
ing committee, is regular and
warm friend of President Taft. He
was a former law partner of Oscar
Lawler, assistant attorney general OF
the interior department and is friend
ly with many persons who sided with
Pinchot in the controversy with Bal
linger. One drawback, according tC
some politicians, is Flint's alignment

political machine in California.

Wounded Mayor OF New York

Hoboken, Aug 10.-Dr. Lederle of
st. Mary's hospital issued the follow
ing bulletin at IL o'clock this morn
ing regarding the condition of Mayor
Gaynor: THE mayor continues to do
well. The unanimous opinion of the
attending surgeons Is that an opera
tion is not necessary at this time"
Gaynor slept three hours last night.
He took some chicken broth this
morning and seemed stronger follow
lowing the shock of the shooting and
the probing for the bullet. He was
able TO talk freely with his wife to-
day.
Hospital physicians examined the
X-ray photograph and agreed not to
remove the bullet unless infection de-
veloped. They declare il is remark
able that the bullet ended its course
where it did without severing blood
vessels. In order to remove the pieces
of lead they must cut through veins
and arteries which would probably
cause weakness from loss of blood
when strength is needed to resist the
shock caused by the wound. A con-
ISOLATION will be held at noon to de-
eide on a plan of treatment.
Every bulletin issued is awaited by
tremendous crowd which has sur
rounded the hospital since Gaynor was
taken there. His temperature at the
third bulletin was one and one quar-
ter degrees above the normal. When
his strength returns the patient will
be taken to the Adirondacks for con-
valescence
Details of police have been assign
ed to handle the throngs and although
the crowd is orderly, every effort is
made to keep the people quiet when
favorable bulletins are ISSUED. Au-
thorities have shut off the traffic on

COULD WATER 5000
ACRES NEAR ADAMS
G. o. RICHARDSON SHOWS
RESULTS OF IRRIGATION
With Water From 20 Foot Well Ad-
ans Postmaster Waters Small Tract
and Raises All Varieties of Vege-
tables-Says Same May be Done all
Around Adams.

That 5000 acres of land in the vi
cinity of Adams may be watered and
made wonderfully productive by
means of well irrigation is declared
by G. o. Richardson, postmaster at
Adams, who has been here today.
Furthermore he has facts which go to
show that he is entirely right in the
matter.
Mr.. Richardson came down to the
city today with a sample of potatoes
he raised on dry land at Adams. He
will have a very good crop though he
has but small acreage. He also has
two and one-half acres in alfalfa this
year and has raised crop without
irrigation.
But Mr.. Richardson is not a "dry
farmer" He is an irrigationist and
his main pride is in the small tract
he waters by pumping water from a
26 foot we'll. He has a two and one
half horse power gasoline engine for
motive power and he says he could
pump water enough to suffice for five
times as much land as he farms if
he but had the time to devote to it.
On the small irrigated tract Mr.
Richardson raises almost every kind
of vegetable known. He raises every
thing in the way of small vegetables
and also sweet corn, peas, onions
potatoes, etc. He has some kodak
pictures showing fine yields Of all
these vegetables. He raised three or
four varieties of peas and 1t is a source
of satisfaction to Mr.. Richardson to
note that they look like the pictures
in the seed catalogues. At this time
Mr.. Richardson has a good sized on
ion patch and he is confident they
will yield 500 bushels to the acre.
That what he is doing may be done
upon a larger scale all over the Ad-
ans country is firmly believed by Mr..
Richardson. He says that water Is
close to the surface in that section
and he believes It may be found on
practically all the ranches in that vi
cinity. His we'll as stated above is
26 feet deep and he believes that no.
where in the Adams country viii they
have to go deeper than CO feet to strike
water.
II the land owners will but sink
enough wells and divide up their
ranches they can place a family upon
every 40 acres and that ramily can
make a GOOD living. This Is the con-
tention Of Mr.. Richardson and he looks
for the time to come when this trans
formation will occur. At this time he
knows of one big farmer who talk
ing Of plating a large field. How
ever most Of the land owners in that
section are so welded to wheat rails
ing that he expects but little from
them. Doing well at present by work
ing a few months in the year they are
reluctant 10 60 into intensified farm
ing.

1t would seem that the dusky In

white man in things matrimonial as
well as most other things. 1t will be

His Career.

Cans was born in Baltimore in 1875
and began fighting at the age of 16.
He was substituted for boy who
failed to show up at little local box
ing show in his home city. He whip
ped the boys that night and his re-
ward was IS.
Cans took up boxing because he was
inclined to Ill health. He displayed
such cleverness that he was urged to
making boxing his profession. In
In 1908 were the finishing touches.
| 1894 Cans began to show the real
stuff in him and from that time until
he fell before Nelson he fought every
| light weight that sought battle with
him and sometimes he took on the
welters. After fighting hs way through
the second and third raters he chal-
lcnged Frank Erne. The champion
was then at his best and Cans was
forced to stop in the 18th round. His
eye lid was almost completely severed
and the blood blinded him so that
he could not see Erne. In their next
meeting Cans won in the first round.
When Cans became champion he
fell into bad hands and for several
years he was known as the crooked
est fighter that ever stepped between
the ropes. His greatest fake fight
was with Terry McGovern in Chica-
go in 1900. He had agreed to lay down
for the benefit of a coterie of negro
gamblers who made thousands out OF
the match. Cans tried to quit in the
first round but was afraid of being
| mobbed In the second he kent his
promise.
From that time until his memor-
able fake fight with Jimmy Britt in
San Francisco in 1904 he participated
in a number OF crooked fights. al
lowing his opponents to stay so that
he and his hackers could win the
round money. His fake with Britt
was one OF the rawest ever attempted
and almost forced him to retire from
the ring.
Cans placed himself in better
hands, however, confessed that he had
been crooked and said he would fight
honestly and from that time until his
last fight he was absolutely on the
level.
Cans was quiet and retiring and o.
a religious turn of mind. His mother
had hoped he would become minis
ter and Cans sometimes expressed
the wish that he had listened to hel
advice instead OF going into the ring

London, Eng, Aug. 10.-London
newspapers liken the shooting of
Mayor Gaynor of New York to the
assassination of Boutres Pasha by
Ibrahim Wardani in Egypt. The Eve
ming Star says: THE assassination
of Premier Boutros is paralleled in
the attempted assassination of May
or Gaynor. Will Roosevelt dare to
propose the disfranchisement of New
York city and the forcible dissolution
of Tammany Hall? He should do so
in order to be consistent with his rec
concentrations regarding the English
rule in Egypt. We hope the crime
will bring home to Roosevelt the folly
of his excursion into others affairs.
