"Mr Campbell encountered the un-

stages of desert exhaustion, devoid
of clothing, sunburned, blistered and
crazed, with his tongue swollen enor-
mously. a pitiable object, and unable
to speak.
"He was tenderly conveyed to camp
and everything possible done for him
but kind aid came too late, for an
hour after he had absorbed the first

Direct Primary Bill.

The direct primary bill is yet In the
committee of elections. The chairman,
Representative Helbig of Denver, was
in favor of reporting all bills out favor
ably so as to give the House chance
to settle the matter in open debate.
The members of all committees have
manifested a desire to read the bills
section by section, however, telievlng
this will expedite matters.
The direct primary bill of Represen-
tative H. A. Hicks of Gilpin was taken
I'D Monday afternoon and four sections
considered. The committee has not
taken up section 4 yet for the reason
that that is the one in which conven-
ton feature will be inserted, If at all.
The only important recommendation
decided on was in regard to petitions
of candidates. The bill provides that
candidate or set of candidates for Of
flee may be placed on the primary bal
lot by one and the same petition. The
committee will recommend that every
candidate must have his own separate
petition.

Referendum Bill.

Fifteen per cent of the voters will be
required to initiate legislation in Colo
RADIO if the bill, as framed by the mai
ority of the Democratic senatorial eau
Gus, becomes law. Moreover, the Pc
titions must be signed by Is per cent
in at least two-thirds of the counties
of the state. Senator West introduced
the resolution providing for the 10 per
cent and it was carried. Then Senator
Burris moved that the percentage be
reduced to 10 and said that he was
willing to accept the two-thirds restric-
ton clause if 10 per cent was agreed
upon. The majority, however, voted
down the 10 per cent and then attached
the two-thirds restriction to the Is per
cent. Twining voted for the 10 per
cent, but on the motion to require sig
natures equal to 15 per cent OF the vote
in two-thirds of the counties he voted
in the affirmative. West also voted
for this restriction. The vote, there-
fore, stood IL to s.

Only formal business was transacted
at the Monday morning session OF the
House. Chairman Charles B. Ward
held a conference with the Democrats
at 11:3O, in which he said the legisla-
tive redistricting by the regular ses-
sion had resulted in confusion In re-
gard to the chairmen of senatorial and
representative districts. He asked
those who represented split districts TO
Join with him in issuing call for dis
trict conventions, for the conventions
must be called within two weeks and
delegates named.
Monday E. P. Costigan, Senator Skin
ner, Representative Skinner, e. e. NC
Laughlin and others interested IN
direct legislation, held meeting to DIS
cuss the report that the brewery inter-
ests were trying to doctor the initia-
tive and referendum bills. In Helbigs
House bill they discovered which they
think would nullify the local option
laws. 1t gives cities and towns the
right to exercise the initiative and ref-
erendum to exclusively regulate and
control all matters involving the home
rule principle. 1t was held that under
such a law the people of the entire city
could vote to make all wards and pre-
cincts dry 1t also was held that such
a provision might interfere with the
work of the proposed public utilities
commission.
The suggestion has been made that
II the initiative and referendum is
passed, it should be with the proviso
that at least so per cent of the voters
taking part in the election in question
must vote on the proposed law, other
wise the vote is void.
Representative Helbig was asked
directly by the chairman if his bill was
intended to vitiate the local option law.
He replied that it would not affect the
law at all, unless the people wished to
use their own discretion in the matter
of wet or dry town.

senator cove 6dnN oN''
Although unfavorable to the guaran-
tee of deposits, Senator Cove has in
troduced a bank bill. He states frank
ly that he introduced 1t at the request
of the banking interests and will seek
to amend 1t If 1t comes up for discus
sion. The bills of Senator Crowley and
Senator Cove are the opposite poles OF
the problem. Senator Crowley's Dill
provides for both a mutual and an in
dividual guaranty-the Texan plan
while Gove's bill contains no guaranty
at all.
Senator Cove introduced his meas
ure at the morning session Monday. IL
provides for bank commissioner, who
shall serve for six years and he paid
$4,000 year The professed object OF
the bill is to strengthen weak banks by
forcing them to come up to the require
ments of the strongest banks and to
make it impossible for unsound institu-
tions to enter the banking field. To at
tain this end the bill gives the bank
commissioner broad powers to take
hold of weak banks and wind up their
affairs.
Democratic and Republican senators
maintain that the Cove bill does not
come within the call for the extra ses-
sion and cannot be considered. Senator
Cove himself says that he is not GER
tain it can be inclu-ed within the pur-
view of the call, but he insists that 1t Is
a good solution of the banking prob
lem and that he will do all he can to
have it considered.

bases stolen by his team and his two
throws to third base, each time com
pleting a double play, were decidedly
the features of the game.
