ed in North Dakota, Oregon and Cali
fornia. This has been explained by
some as the result of Democrats vot-
ing in the primary for Roosevelt. 1t
is quite probable that many who
voted for Bryan four years ago join
ed the primary crowd this year and
voted for Roosevelt. Others claim
that this surplus vote is the vote
that was for Roosevelt eight years
ago and for Bryan four years ago.
No doubt this is the best explanation
for the large vote in the primaries
in the TIN ee states mentioned, since
1t is fact that many of the warm
admirers of Bryan supported Roose-
welt
The vote in California may be ex.
planned in another way as only re-
Gently the women of California have
been accorded the privilege of voting
and it would appear that the vote of
California should have been larger
than it was even though no Demo-
Gratis had voted for Roosevelt.
Discarding these states and consid-
ering the others it is noticeable that
the direct primary brought out big
vote.

THROUGH WESTERN STATES.

1t has been given out at Roosevelt
headquarters that the progressive
candidate will start on an extensive
campaigning trip, beginning at ST
Louis, Sept 3, and from that city he
will make the following places: Des
Moines September 4; st. Paul, Sep
tember s; Spokane September S;
Seattle and Tacoma September IN
and IL; Portland September IL;
Oakland and San Francisco Septem-
ber ID; Los Angeles September 16;
Albuquerque September 1S and Den
yer September 10.
1t is given out that he will be en-
gagged in a strenuous campaign dur
ing the months of September and DC
tober. 1t is not known yet if man
can be found in either of the old par
ties who can and will follow the
rough rider on such an extensive
trip. 1t is doubted if there is anoth-
er in all the world who has the physi-
cal ability to follow Roosevelt in a
continuous two months strenuous
speaking campaign.
The Republicans say that 1t will
not necessary for them to have a
man follow him, and that he can do
Taft no harm. The Democrats are
saying all kinds of mean things about
him for boldly dashing into the cam
paign in such manner, but claim
that he cannot secure more Demo-
cratic votes than he can Republican
votes and for that reason he can not
hurt Wilson.

STAND APPROVED.

The Denver Republican is receiv-
ing many compliments from all
parts of the state for the stand it
is taking in the state campaign. Had
the Republican press of the state
and nation taken the stand that the
Republican is now taking with refer
ence to machine politics there would
not now be a divided Republican
party
There are but two or three rabid
gang Republican dailies in the state
and they have done and are doing
more to disrupt the party Colorado
than all other influences combined.
1t is strange that it requires so
long a time for some people to awake
to the true situation. The spirit Of
rule or ruin seems to override theiI
better judgment.
OF course, they will in time be
convinced of the error of their way
but it may not be until they have
accomplished an irreparable injury
to their party, their friends and tc
their own interests. This is not un
usual for this condition has existec
from time immemorial.
There are those who through ig
norance of facts do the wrong thing
when they mean to the right thing
There art those who wilfully avoit
facts so that they may have an ex
cuse to work against their bette
judgment in order to satisfy thei
selfish desires. There are thos
who are so blinded by prejudice tina
they can not see the facts even whel
they are written in capital letters

CHICAGO MAN WHO LOST $4,000
ON TURN OF A CARD DIES
IN POVERTY.

CHICAGO, Aug. 20.-George V.
Hankin is dead. Hankins Is the ex-
gambling king who once bet $4,000
on the turn of card and lost with
out the flicker of an eyelash and at
one time his wealth was conserva
lively estimated at $4,OOO,OO0. He
died yesterday at the home of John
Storey and old time friend and he
was 67 ears old.
He was a member of the old school
of gamblers when Chicago was wide
open and made this city one of the
most famous gambling centers in The
world. He died virtually penniless.
When horse racing was at its zenith
in Chicago Hankins was virtually
owner of the old Garfield park track.
He built, successfully, and conducted
the Harlem track and made money.
His string of horses were the one OF
the greatest on the American turf.
Fortunes were won and lost in
Hankn's house but he never changed
expressions. One night a western
mining man arrived in Chicago with
so much money that it just natur-
ally burned holes in his pockets. lie
had seen some stiff games out west,
but he wanted something bigger, 50
he went to one Of George Hankin's
places and for some time played with
varying luck. Finally he said to
Hankins:
"This is too slow, I'll lay $4,000
on the turn Of the next card"
"You are on" said Hankins as he
turned the card
The stranger won and Hankins dis
played no more emotion than II he
had lost only 30 cents.

REGISTER BEFORE MONDAY.

Next Monday is the last day for
registering in order to vote at the
coming primaries. Each year there
are those who put off this matrer of
registering until it is too late and
then blame themselves or somebody
else because they lose their vote. 1t
should be the duty of every person
to register even though ne may be in
doubt whether he will vote or not.
Now and then we hear man or
woman say that he or she does not
care to vote and therefore there is
no need to register. Wien the mat
ter of election gets interesting and
you begin to awaken to the fact that
it is the duty and privilege of citi-
zens to vote you wish you were reg
istered, but it is too late.
This is the first time for the direct
primary plan in Colorado and it
should be given fair test. It is
well known that those who have been
yelling the loudest for direct pri-
mary law are those who have not
been in the habit Of attending the
primaries under the old delegate sys.
TEN. 1t is for these people to take
advantage of the primary law snd
make it popular by voting at the
primary. Should small Yote be cast
this year at the SEPTEMBER primaries
it will be just what many Of the gsng
of both pa,ties desire that
they may be able TO 90 hack under
the old system.
Will the farmers, laborers and non
professional politicians turn out and
make the direct primary popular?

CLAIMS NOT WELL FOUNDED.

Some of the Democratic papers of
the state ere having some trouble
in the primary campaign trying to
fight those in the party who are
classed by them as conservative and
yet endeavoring to make their readers
believe that Governor Wilson is a
progressive.
AS mater of fact some of the
state and county candidates who are
being held up to the party as reac-
tionaries are in favor of the initia-
tive, the referendum, the recall and
the direct primary, none of which
are to be found in Wilson's plat
form. The progressive Democrats
have always been in favor of these
measure and in former years the
party made them the chief planks in
their platform. However, they were
left out of the national Democratic
platform this year for some reason.
Some of the Democrats running
for the nomination for the various
offices in the state and county do
not understand why they should be
held up as conservatives and their
nominee for president as a progress
sive when they have always favor
ed the essentials of the progressive
policy: the initiative, the referendum,

THE SAN JUAN AS A MARKET.

The SAN JUAN AS A MARKET.
Along with the rich opportunities
which Colorado's s200,000,000 crop
will bring this ear comes RESPONSE
bilities and obligations which the
state must face with unflinching de-
termination If 1t intends to reap a
full measure of success. One Of these
pressing obligations is to hold the
trade advantages it already possesses
in the Great San Juan basin in south
western Colorado and prevent the
prospective business of this territory
from being gobbled up by rival
market hundreds Of miles away.
Los Angeles has its eyes on the
San Juan basin. The principal COM
merciaI organization of that city,
backed by the good will Of its news
papers and its merchants, has gone
into the territory and promised its
aid to the people who are crying
to their elder brothers for help. It
proposes to assist in constructing =

meet Durango with the Santa Fe q
Defiance, Ariz., and bring the basin
within 2S hours of the Pacific me-
tropolis over easy grades and an ad-
vantageous route.
The Importance of quick action on
the part of Denver and Pueblo can
not be underestimated. A committee
should be appointed to go to New
York and lay the matter before the
railroad authorities who have power
to act. Careful trade estimates should
be made. This committee should be
composed of men who are experienced
in dealing with big men and who have
undivided support of the newspapers
and the business interests and the
commercial organizations of Pueblo
and Denver. Nothing short of this
will bring success, and the prize is
too valuable to be sacrificed to in
difference or neglect. - Denver
