DEMOCRAT
COMMITTEE
IS CALLED
CHAIRMAN WILLIAMS WILL AS
SENlBI4E COUNTY CENTRAL
COMMITTEE APRIL 6 FOR A
CONFERENCE AND FEED

Chairman Tom Williams has is
sued a call for the democratic CEN
trail committee of the county to
meet in Greeley Saturday after
noon, April 6, at 2 p. m. The meet
ing will be followed by family
dinner at so cents plate at the
Garfield hotel in the evening at 6
O'Clock. The committee will con-
slider number of matters prelimi-
nary to the campaign this fall, and
in the evening speakers will talk on
political matters that have been agi-
tating the country for several
months.
Never in the history of democ-
racy in Weld county has there been
the opportunity offered to demo-
Gratis that there is this year. The
lamentable failure of the republic
can county administration to make
good, the wanton waste and extra
vagance that has characterized their
regime. and the war to the death
within their own ranks have led the
people generally to look to the
democratic party of the county to
restore conditions to normal and to
place the county in charge of COM
petent and honest officials who will
give an economical administration.
Harmony exists in the party and
there Is no reason for anything but
harmony until November I. The
several good candidates for the
presidential nomination, with none
in the marked ascendency, will pre-
vent such a division of the party as
the republicans have had over
their two leading candidates.
Its n democratic year in Weld
Is the way one leader of the party
put it and that seems to be the
concensus of opinion.

ON SUGAR
GREAT WESTERN SUGAR co. is
HARDLY BUSTED YET-AN-
NUAL MEETING OF STOCK
HOLDERS APRIL 10

Stockholders of the Great West
ern Sugar company have been noti-
fled of the annual meeting of that
company to be held in Plainfield, n.
j., on April 10, for the purpose of
amending the bylaws so as to in
crease the board of directors from
eleven to thirteen, to choose a new
board and to transact such other
business as may be necessary.
Hopes entertained by holders of
the common stock that the dividend
on that class would be raised from
5 to per cent, the same rate as
is paid on the preferred, will not
be fulfilled, according to w. A.
Dixon, vice president of the COM
pany, who states that there is no
foundation for such action. Unof-
ficially it is said that Chester S.
Morey, the president of the COM
pany, has been opposed to any in
crease in the common dividend rate
and has convinced the other mem
bers of the board that it would be
inadvisable while congress is at,
tempting to cut down the COM
pany's revenues by the abolition o.
the tariff on imported raws.
The comapny earned Al per cent
on it's common stock last year, but
even that prosperous condition is
not deemed an excuse in view of un
| favorable tariff action for increas
ing its distribution to common
stockholders. 1t is possible, how
ever, that on the reorganization o.
the board a stock dividend may be
declared which, while it would in
crease the annual disbursement
would not deplete the surplus.
Reports that the sugar trust ha'
abandoned it's control of the com
pany are denied by officers of thu
company, who state that the trus
never was in control.

The matter has already been pre-

Sarah Plat Decker, who is very en-
thusiastic in the support of the
idea. The Fortnightly club of
Boulder has already presented the
girls with $4,000 which is to serve
as the nucleus about which to
build. The women of the Univer-
sity are doing all they can to fur

RICHES0N'S CHANCE FOR
cLEMENCY IS SMALL
Boston, Mass, May 14.-The
fate of the Rev. Clarence V. T.
Rieheson hangs in the balance
today.
And the scales Of the balance
on the side of death are heavily
Weighted.
For the murder of. little Avis
Linnell,. the girl,who placed her
trust in him, the girl whom he
betrayed, Richeson is condemned
to be executed within the week
following midnight Sunday.
The death room stands all
ready for the former pastor, The
wires that will carry the current
to the chair of death have been
tested, again and again, that no
mistake may be made.
But Richeson still has chance
TO five out his wretched life.
Five of the most noted alienists
in the United States have exarnin-
ed Richeson within the last few
weeks. Three have reported to
Governor Foss; the other two
are to report today.
OF the three who have report
ed, one at least held that Richie
son was moral degenerate. DR..
L. Vernon Briggs said that the
method of Richeson's murder Of
Avis Linne1l, his cool, carefully
laid plans to avoid detection,
ehov,ad that he uyas account
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-05-14

remaining alienists are strongly
of the opinion that Richeson was
unacceptable" he will not sub
NIT Richeson's5 case to the execu-
tive council, which alone can
commute the death sentence.
And, even if these two alien
lists say, that Richeson is insane,
and was insane at the time he so
deliberately killed the girl he had
betrayed by a mock marriage per-
formed by himself, the condemn
ed pastors. chances of commute 2
ton still are exceedingly slim.
There are nine members of the
executive council,
OF these, Councillor Edward
d. Collins, of Bostonsis unalter-
ably opposed to the9death penal
ty. Councillor Winfield Shuster
also is opposed to capital punish
ment, but not, so strongly as Col
Inns. =
The other seven. members of
the council do not believe that
the governors council ever should
interfere with the course of the
law except in cases of great emer-
gency.
It is believed that should the
governor refer Richeson's plea
for mercy to the council, the
council would vote 7 to 2 not to
interfere.
Richeson looks we'll. He does
not SCENT realize how near to
death he is. His attorneys have
