The jurisdiction of the coun-
ty court in Colorado is varied
and extensive-more so perhaps
than in any other state of the
Union. In it's civil. criminal.
probate and juvenile jurisdic-
tion it is constantly touching
the business. moral, social and
even the very home life of the
people. 1t is not a political
office. has no political signifi-
canoe and wise voters will look
solely to the qualifications and
fitness of a candidate for the
office when they exercise their
choice.
Judge Mills was solicited and
urged by Republican friends to
accept this nomination because
of his special qualifications and
he invites the widest possible
investigation into his public
career as we'll as the closest
scrutiny into his private life
and character. If you arc sat-
isfed and he is chosen as a
candidate he will strive to merit
your favor by conducting an

MAJORS PLURALITY $500
Official Returns Reported From All
Counties Give Attorney General
Major a Plurality of
DIR

Official returns reported from the
ia counties and the city of St. Louis
insure the nomination of Attorney
General Elliott W. Major, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor by
2513 plurality.
The formal canvass of the entire
vote by the secretary of state will be-
gin in Jefferson City this week. In
accuracies in the count may appear,
but it is regarded as highly improb-
able that any such discrepancy could
materially change the plurality now
indicated for the attorney general.
Cowherd is credited with pluralities
in only twenty counties. His plural
ity over Major in those counties and
the city of st. Louis is 81, 123.
Major, on the other hand, appar-
emily, has carried lightweight coun-
ties and has plurality over Cowherd
in two others which Bolte carried.
Majors plurality over Cowherd in the
ninety-two counties as shown by the
official count is SO, 1886.
Before the primaries Major asserted
he would come to the cities with a
majority over Cowherd Of forty
thousand. The official returns show
that he missed his prediction by
bare four hundred votes.
Approximately sc, 600 votes of Cow
herds pluralities over Major came
from two cities Kansas City and St.
Louis.
When it became evident from the
reports Of the official counts in the
rural districts, that General Msjor had
won he nomination, Mr.. Cowherd

wealth in the United States was 1907;
today it is about 1900, an increase
of about 800 per cent. While the per
capita wealth has greatly increased,
the distribution of it has been most
unequal. Sixty years ago we had
few millionaires and few paupers; to-
day we have too many of both, and
both are still on the increase.

In the Matter of The Republican,
Press Charges Against the
County Court of Bates
County, Missouri.

We, The Democratic Central Com
mittee of Bates County, in session,
August 18th, 1912, having seen and
examined the Record of the County
Clerk for the date and time referred
to in the Republican-Press, of August
9th, 19l2.-That expenses for Regis
tering Drainage Bonds paid by R. B.
Campbell and per diem and milage
paid Judges Campbell, Wolfe and Fix
as members of the County Court were
legal and proper, and were not paid
on September 25th, but were paid on
September 18th, 1911, for services
rendered on the said September 18th,
1911.
That on September 25th, 1911, the
County Board of Appeals on Mer-
chants Statements met and that the
per diem and milage paid on thatd
are correct and were legally due said
members.
The statement that the items in the
first charge were for services rend-
cred, and to reimburse for money ex-
pended on the 18th day of September,
1911, are substantiated by the records
in the County Clerks office and the
receipt of the State Treasurer on file
in said County Clerks office.
We further find that the charges in
said paper that the County Court had
misused or Incorporated county
funds is absolutely false.
By Order of the Democratic Central
Committee.

Death Calls Kin of Daniel Boone

Mrs. Sarah Brewington, n years
old, wife of A. B. Brewington, died
at St. Mary's hospital Sunday night
The death of Mrs. Brewington,
who was great grand niece Of Dam
lei Boone, recalls the last fatal duel
fought in the United States which re-
suited in death to either of the COM
batants, that between Leonidas Met
calf of the Third Kentucky regiment,
then stationed at Maysville, KY, and
William Castro, a prominent lawyer
and politician of Maysville.
Mrs. Brewington was the first wife
of Col. Metcalf and was with him
while he was stationed at Maysville
in the summer of 1862, when the
duel was fought.
Mrs. Brewington went to Butler,
NO., from Carlisle, KY, with her
husband thirty years ago, and twenty
years ago came to Kansas City.
Brewington was with the Missouri
Pacific railway until his death a year
ago.-Kansas City Post.
During her residence in this city
Mrs. Brewington made many warm
and faithful friends who deeply
mourn her death.
The remains were brought to this
city Monday night and taken to the
home of r. r. Deacon, where funeral
services were held Tuesday morning.
Interment was made in Oak Hill GEM
etery.

Campaign Book Out Soon

The National Democratic campaign
book for 1912 will be ready for dis
tribution about April 20. Advance
proofs already out show it to be prob
ably the best publication of its kind
ever issued. It will be complete
handbook on the tariff and every is
sue that will figure prominently in
the approaching campaign. Every
Democratic workerin the United States
ought to have this book. The price
is to remain at Is cents, the amount
charged for similar books in previous
campaigns. Orders should be sent to
Hon. James T. Lloyd, Chairman,
National Democratic Congressional
Committee, Washington, D. C. This
being a presidential campaign, it is
estimated there will be an unusually
heavy demand for the books, and it
will therefore be we'll for those desir-
ing copies to write Mr.. Lloyd immedi-
ately.
TT is my hope" said Mr.. Lloyd to-
day, "that prominent Democrats will
get together in the towns and cities
and club their orders, so that we may
ship as many books as possible to one
address, and thus conduct the mailing
department at the least possible ex-
pense.
As Mr.. Lloyd's committee is en-
deavoring to make its campaign with
funds subscribed wholly by the peo-
pie, and not by trusts, every endeavor
is being made to keep down expenses.
The Congressional committee is short
of funds, and contributions, however
small, will be useful. Checks may
be mailed to Chairman Lloyd.
Stanley Deserves Credit
Congressman A. o. Stanley of Ken
lucky, chairman of the committee of
the House that investigated the Steel
Trust. deserves great credit for the
systematic and highly capable manner
in which he proceeded.
The cost of the entire investigation
was less than $39, 900. This amount
is in striking contrast to the cost of
some of the investigations under the
Republicans, notably that of the i'm
migration question at an expense, to
the people of more than $500, 600.
Mr.. Stanley saw to it there were no
personal excursions or junkets with |
the money appropriated for the probe
of the steel corporation.
It will be recalled that the investi-
gators of the immigration question
spent money like water, touring
Europe in the most luxurious style,
at government expense, all /
the prominent places of interest, even
iourneying to the pyramids of Egypt.
Mr.. SANKEY'S name will 90 down
in history along with the masterful
report of his committee, and he, and n
The members Of the committee who
so-operated with him, deserve well in
he estimation Of the American peo-
pie for work well done.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Special Washington Correspond
ent of The Times.
By CLYDE H. Tavenner.

By CLYDE H. Tavenner.
Washington, D. C.-"George W.
Perkins in chair" This quotation
does not refer to Mr.. Perkins pres
ence in the chair at the Chicago Roose-
felt convention.
The quotation is taken from the
minutes of a meeting of the finance
committee of the steel trust held
April S, 1904, at which it was decided
that subsidiary companies of the steel
trust manufacturing half-finished arti-
cles should not sell same to competit-
ors of the trust. See page l08 Stanley
Steel report.)
This is only one of the revelations
contained in the report of the Stanley
Steel Trust Investigating Committee,
one of the most able and remarkable
documents of this decade.
The Stanley report, in addition to
indicting former President Roosevelt
to permitting the trust to obtain alb
solute domination of the steel industry,
reveals beyond successful contradic-
ton how George w. Perkins came
into possession of the colossal fortune
that he is now spending to finance
the Roosevelt third term movement,
Sources of Perkins Millions
Here is the story of the Perkins
wealth: To start with Mr.. Perkins
made some of his millions by capital
izing thin blue air into millions of
dollars of real money.
He made more millions by getting
a monopoly of wire nail manufacture
ing plants and forcing the American
farmers to pay $500 key for wire
nails that were sold before the organ
ization of the trust for from $1.25 to
$3.50 key. (See page 8 Stanley re-
port)
Then he made more millions by
forcing the thousands of workers in
the blast furnaces of his steel mills to
work twelve hours day, seven days
a week, 1856 days a year.
As a postscript to the above in
formation, the following history of
Mr.. Perkins may be Of interest at this
time:
Mr.. Perkins was the chief aide and
co-schemer of ]. Pierpont Morgan
while the latter was in the years be-
tween 1900 and 1911 throttling bust
ness in every direction. It was Per-
kins who as Morgan's business part
ner showed Morgan how to dominate
the boards Of directors Of all the great
railroads, banks and trust companies,
express, telephone and telegraph COM
panies, steamship lines, insurance
companies and all the great industrial
trusts, to the end that Morgan now
has strangle hold on a corporate
wealth Of over &36, 600, 000, 900, an
amount equal to one-third of the
wealth Of the nation.
