The Master Politician

Like n cyclone from clear sky
ths, Roosevelt wave has swept over
the United States within the past
week. C1amoring candidates OF
both great political parties have
done their utmost to EOld the Gem
ter of the stage. but looming great
er than any is the former president,
without doubt the most popular
man of his day.
The situation is one OF the most
peculiar politically ever presented.
Here is the spectacle Of nearly
dozen candidates for the presiden-
tial nomination being unnOticed by
the people at large and doomed
only by their constituents, while
the whole country is Interested in
tlr. one question-Will Roosevelt
run? Astute politicians are stag
gered mt the unusual condition. The
country at large is guessing.
One OF the strongest features Of
the situation is that the Roosevelt
tOOm has failed to arouse the
democratic editors of the country.
The natural inference would Ike
that IA storm Of opposition would
greet the suggestion that Roosevelt
will be nominated by the republic
cans. But no storm came. and 1t
is probable that none will come.
Whatever reasons may he found
for the failure Of the democratic
welt boom, it is certain that the

OPEN LETTER
BY MCCLELLAN
editor Greeley Tribune:

Editor Greeley Tribune:
Governor Shafroth has in various
interviews stated that all the third
class appropriations will be paid
before the end of his administra-
tion. We hope that this may be
true but these statements are not
understood by many people who
take it Tor granted that there is no
necessity for our committee to con-
tinue to carry on the campaign for
raising the 100000 to continue the
extension work of the Agricultural
college. These are the facts:
In November the extension fund
was overdrawn $4.87O and the
executive board could get no assur-
ance from the state officials when
money from this fund would be
available SO they notified Prof. Hin
man that November 80 this work
must stop. This included Prof.
Hinman in charge of this work,
Prof. Fitch of the potato investiga-
ton and experimental work, Prof.
vaplon OF the poultry department
and Paul V. Maris. government
dairy expert.
The Weld County Farmers club
felt that this was too important q
work to be allowed to stop at this
time 30 we decided to try and
carry 1t on. We have paid the ex-
penses Of this work for December
and January and expect to carry 1t
on. The board this last week re-
ceived from the $4,000 appro-
priated $3.50 but this does not
pay up the deficit of last year. Last
week l had long interview with
Treasurer kenehan with q view to
ascertaining how much money
would be necessary for us to raise
and how much could be expected
from the appropriation. There Is,
30 he stated. no money in the
treasury for this fund and the fu-
ture depends entirely on what
money comes in and urged him
to say what we could depend upon
but he said he could not promise a
dollar but they might be able to
pay considerable or they might not.
So there are but two ways open:
one Is to stop this valuable work.
the other Is for US to raise this
money and carry 1t on and that is
what We propose to do and we ask
All the sources We have appealed to,
to come to our help.
HoS never Deen q time

II does at present. The United

the field over carefully comes to
the conclusion that Colorado had

A record Of the work of this club
during the one year Of its existence
will show that practically its every
effort has been for TIE farlness 0f
the county-not for the sO-called
commercial interests.
Going = little further into the
membership 1t will be found that the
towns Of the county contains the
names Of many farmers. And going
still deeper, 1t Is shown that the
membership OF all the commercial
organizations Of the county are 80
closely allied with the agricultural
interests OF the county that it would
he commercial suicide for them to
fight the farmer or to try to put him
out Of business. In the final analysis
it will he shown that the direct
farming interests are represented in
greater proportion in the comnler-
cial clubs than any other line. And
this, too, with the very names Of the
clubs indicating that the merchants
alone comprise the membership.

The Commercial Club and the Farmer

some misunderstanding, consider
able criticism and great deal Of
feeling that should not exist has
arisen between the commercial clubs
of northern Colorado and tie farm
~ers OF this section. From the mass
.of suspicion and prejudice it is gath
erred that the farmers unions have
taken umbrage at the commercial
clubs for naming men to go to WASH
.ington to testify before the congress
sional committee tina, is investigat-
ing the sugar industry OF the Unit
Ell States.
A sensational story sent out by an
associated press Representative
started the ball rolling. From testi-
Inony that analyses differently from
tire account Of it, conditions in the
beet fields OF northern Colorado
were made to appear scandalOus.
And naturally, the attitude Of the
beet growers was defensive. for tho
story made it appear that beet grow
<s.s were practically slave holders
who abused their labor shamelessly.
Congressman Rucker wired to tho
commercial clubs to send more beet
growers in order that more direct
testimony from growers might be
had. There WAS nothing In tie re-
quest to indicate that men were
wanted to DENY the testimony thai
had been submitted or to CONFIRM
It. MORE testimony was wanted
and the Colorado representative In
congress doubtless felt that the bes'
way to get, quick action was to motif!
to name q man each.

timony WAS given, they are HON
