PERINS PEAK POINTERS

Although no program had been

velous manner on the fourth.
At midnight on the third salute
Of dynamite shots was fired to usher
in the anniversary of the independence
day and for the rest of the night the
camp expended its superfluous ener-

Mr.. Mccormick had made arrange
ments to have the reports of the Flynn
johnson fight, round by round, post
ed up in the camp and until after $500
o'clock this occupied and interested
the men, who enjoyed refreshments
while waiting.
Al 500 o'clock a big bonfire of fire
works presented by Calumet Fuel
company, were set off, much to the
joy of the kids.
More dynamite followed this and un-
til midnight there was lots of noise.
At last peace settled over the place
and every one retired for a much need

DEMOCRATS HAVE TROUBLE.

Some Of the Democratic newspapers
of the state have been getting cOnsid
cradle satisfaction out of the proba
bility of a division in the ranks Of
the Republicans of this state. They
somehow had taken it for granted that
all the little troubles would come in
the Republican party. 1t now happens
that the Denver News and several 9th
err Democratic newspapers say there
viii be no compromise in the Demo
cratic party. They say the man who
will head the Democratic ticket of
this state must not only be a man who
talks like Gov. Wilson, but must
be a man who believes like Wilson.
They claim that what the man is must
be determined by his past acts. 1t
is for the Republicans to wonder what
such men as Bob Speer are going to
do when such a course is mapped out
for them by those whom the machine
Democrats have fought long and hard.
viii they consider themselves whip
ped? Will they go into the fight
and defeat radical Democrat for
the nomination? Or will they slip
quietly over and vote for the Republi-
can candidate? 1t is very evident that
Tom Patterson, whose hopes for q
progressive Democracy has been re
vived by the recent victory in Denver
in which he played a prominent part,
will now make the fight of his life to
get one back on the machine men who
have for the past four years been
reading him and his followers out of
| the party. Patterson knows that this
/ is his opportunity to crush his polit-
ial enemies and to all appearances he
has already given the challenge. Speer
for four years past has had absolute
control of the Democratic conventions,
He no longer has control Of the ma
chine in the capital city. The pro
gressive Democrats now have control
and there is every indication that the
old crowd will not be able to put the
old machine into commission. In fact,
| 1t may be questioned WheVner there is
in existence a Denver machine. 1t
was so badly shattered when Arnold
was elected that it is doubtful if the
Speer forces can get the pieces to-
gether by the time of the Democratic
assembly, The Democrats are now
willing to admit that there is prob
ability of one of the hardest faction
al contests in store for them ever re-
corded in the history of the party. 1t
seems almost impossible these days
for either party to get along with
out some slight misunderstanding, and
it appears that the Democrats this
time will have one almost equal to a
break.

that no district offers as great induce
