RIGID TEST PRESCRIBED
FOR NAVY CLASS OF 1908
Graduates Must Stand Examination
on POSTGRADUATE Studies.
Dismay in Ranks.

An extraordinarily severe examination
of navigation for the midshipmen who
graduated from the Naval Academy in
1905 has brought dismay to q large pro-
portion Of them, though 1t is not probable
that bad marking In that particular sub
ject of examination will prevent ma
jority of the midshipmen from receiving
their commissions as ensigns. When the
class. which numbered Dol youngsters,
graduated from the academy In 1875 the
boys were scattered all over the world
with the understanding that they would
pursue their studies in what amounts to
really q postgraduate course and that
the hnaI examination should be held at
the expiration OF two years.
Return Of the Papers.
The examination papers were prepared
at the Naval Academy and sent to tne
midshipmen on the various ships and the
stations where they were IN duty. THESE
have now been I,iied in and returned
the Naval Academy. The report OIL the
academic board upon the results OF these
examinations has not yet reached the
NAVY iIepartment. II Is stated, however,
IN private letters and general gossip that
many of the boys were unsatisfactory IN
the subject Of navigation:
AS IL is admitted that this was so hard
as to overtax the abilities OF many ex-
perienced officers who have good records
as navigatOrs, 1t Is probable tnat some
corrections will be applied and due al
lCwance made for that fact when 1t
comes to final rating of the boys.

M. M. SUTLEY

NJ. NJ. Sutley of Saguache
county, candidate for State Sena-
tor, on the democratic ticket, is
meeting with much encourage
ment. There is no question as to
his ability and honesty. He stands
right on the vital issues before the
people of Colorado.
He has been identified with the
growth of the valley, and has con-
tributed largely in its welfare.
From bucking sagebrush to driv-
ing an auto Mr.. Sutley has gone
down the line with other pioneers
of the valley; he knows through a
complete course in the school of
hard knocks the obstacles that
confront our farmers; is familiar
at first hand with the needs of our
people, and with a courage which
has never Bonded under weight of
failure, nor wavered under the
promise of glittering personal
triumph, has stood for what he
has thought to be for the best in
terests of those toilers among
whose number he is proud to
stand.

M. M. NELSON

NJ. NJ. Nelson, democratic can
didate for representative for Rio
Grande county, has been resident
of Colorado for ten years. and in
his chosen work in this city has
shown himself to be n capable
and energetic man. He is close to
the people, and is therefore in a
position to know their wishes.
This county has won for itself the
recognition Of the state as q county
to be reckoned with in the matter
Of products, is strictly on the map
of Colorado, and it behooves the
voters to send Il man to the legis-
lature who can be relied upon to
be on the job-whethcr in support
of measures introduced for the
good of the county or to block
vicious legislation.
Mr.. Nelson stands squarely for
the peoples rights on the question
of direct legislation. which is the
main issue in the present cam
pal gn, and is opposed to the barter
and sale OF the United States SEN
atorship, which Of late has become
30 VIGOROUSLY popular in this
state. He has declared that the
will OF the people should govern
the selection for United States
senator, and the choice of such
should fall TO the candidate with
the largest following. regardless OF
political utilization.
a vote for Nelson is a vote
against Guggenheimism.

he inaugurated system that is
hard to beat and SO satisfactory has
been his work in this office that the
opposing political party was un-
able to find in its ranks a person
willing to make race against Mr..

enabled the clerk to give that hair

Mr.. Farrow has been able to attend
to the business of his Office, and in
the selection of an assistant, he has
shown splendid judgment, To
this team OF workers, the stroke of

danger signal, but to conclude each
