BIG VOTE OUT.

To the surprise of the people those
machine papers that yelled loud the
day following the primaries that the
primaries were dismal failures be-
cause of the fact that but few in
the state attended them are now in
forming their readers that large
vote was polled. Any one who cares
to determine the vote on governor in
1910 and the vote on the various can
cidatcs for governor at the primaries
will find that the vote in the various
counties ranged from 40 to 80 per
cent of the vote of two years ago.
This is all that should be expected
of the people at the primaries when
it is known that many people do
not care to commit themselves to any
party and that the minor parties had
no candidates to vote for at the
primaries.
The PEOPLE of this state will take
just as much interest in politics as
the people Of Other states do and there
is no use of few politicians trying
to make us believe that the people do
not know enough to name their can
didates for office. 1t is this kind of
nonsensical talk that ruins parties.

INCA DITCH.

Surveying started on the heading OF
the Inca ditch this week by Engineer
Wilhoite and crew, 1t is the inten-
tion, we understand, to turn water
out of the McEwen ditch about Oct.
/, after which the work of enlarging
the ditch will proceed. A good head
ing will be installed at the river and
the ditch completed in time to run
water through probably to Hart canon
next spring. 1t is possible that con-
tracts to build from Hart canon to
Aztec, or even to the divide, may be
let very soon. 1t is to be hoped that
this is done, as it will provide a
market for our surplus hay and work
for many men and teams.

CONVICT PLAYS HIS OLD
ROLE OF A CIRCUS CLOWN

IN the October number of a popular
magazine appears description of Il
great theatrical production given
twice year by convicts in the state
penitentiary of California. One of the
passages in the article has to do with
an old time circus clown who has
been in prison for twenty years, serv-
ing life sentence for numbering a
trapeze performer. The following Is
an extract:
"Three acrobats took the stage. One
was clown. His jokes were quaint;
they were the sort that the sawdust
ring knew twenty years ago. The
clown did not know that circus fun
had changed in the world outside;
twenty years represented the time he
had been away from it all. In his
performance tonight he was getting
back, back to that last night in the
sawdust; the night he galloped from
the ring ON q donkey to confront in
the dressing tent the trapeze man
who had come between him and the
queen Of the slack wire. The old
clown had been here ever since. Ap-
parsntly 1t was good to get into con-
tact with his own world once more.
Nobody told him that the world he

A WARNING.

A bunch of idiotIc, exuberanJ, spir-
tied cowboys with about as much hu-
manity in their makeup as an Afri-
can head hunter last Saturday rode
into town dragging three cinnamon
bears and two mountain lions at the
end of their ropes.
The poor beasts, with tongues loll-
ing and covered with lather of sweat
were just about all in from their en-
forced journey from the head of Pa
gosa canon, six miles north of town,
where they were captured.
Being predatory animals, they were
taken to the dog pound, where ex-
Mayor Patterson dispatched the big
brutes with club.
Notwithstanding the fact that bear,
lion and wolves are becoming so nu-
merous in Archuleta county as to be
a pest and problem which is excit-
ing grave concern among our stock
and ranchmen for their effect on the
minds of the young, these brutal dis
plays of cruelty to the animal kin
dred must be stopped. This is not the
first time by any means when the
streets of Pagosa have been trans
formed into menagerie hippodrome

LEADERS EXCITED.

The Democrats of the state under
their leaders are going to turn the
earth upside down in order to make
for Wilson greater demonstration
in Denver next week than was made
for Roosevelt on the 10th of last
month.
Bradley is very much excited over
the matter and every day he is s,rd
ing out letters asking for all the Dem
osrats who can possibly leave their
bones and business to show up il
Denver SO that thA impression may go
abio Dad over the .,tate that Wilson had
the biggest crowd ever.
OF course 1t does not require the
attendance in Deliver of MANY out
side people in order to make big
showing. If all the committee men
and the committee women of the Dem
ocratic party go to hear Wilson there
will be big crowd in Denver and
they will send the word out over the
state that all the people in Colorado
went to hear him although as a mat
ter of fact but few will be present
outside of Denver. However, the vo-
ters over the state understand how
the big shows are manufactured by
party leaders.

After considerable deliberation Job
Hedges was nominated by the Repub-

Soon the Democrats will name their
standardbearer. They will meet to-
morrow for that purpose and all in
terest will center in the contest be-
tween the Murphy forces on the one
hand and the Governor Wilson forces
on the other. The Progressives have
had their candidate, Oscar Straus, in
the field for some time. In New York
will be waged one of the hardest po-

PROGRESSIVE COUNTY TICKETS

About two thirds of the counties of
the state have placed in the field Pro-
gressive county tickets. About ono
half Of these have put out straight
tickets. In more than a dozen coun-
ties the Progressives and the Repub-
licans have fused. In several coun-
ties the Progressives have fused with
the Democrats. Still there are sew
eral counties in which the Progress
sives accepted and endorsed candi-
dates from both the Democrats and
the Republicans.
Something like about one-third the
counties are now at work organizing
Progressive county tickets and it is
claimed that within a few days there
will be Progressive county ticket
in every county in the state.
The Progressives have out little
chance to elect county officers in any
county except where they have en-.
dorsed candidates from other parties.
1t has been ordered from headquar-
tiers and so Progressive county tick
cts will be ON the November ballors,
regardless of the chance to win.
One of the arguments claimed by
the leaders of the Progressive party
as to why county tickets should be
placed in every county is that it will
hereafter prevent the members of the
party from joining one or the other
of the old parties in the primary
The Progressives claim that owing
to the fact that they could not par
ticipate as Progressives in the recent
primary many of the members of
their party were induced by friends
in the other parties to take part with
them. This detracts from the inter-
est in their own party.
Should the Progressives make any
considerable showing in each of the
counties they will be entitled to en-
gage in the primaries another year
and be permitted to name their can
6idates at that time instead of by
petition as they have to do this year.
1t is noted in the primary states the
party that loses votes to another in
the primary usually loses those same
votes at the election.
According to the latest report from
Denver the counties of the state may
be classified as follows:
Straight ticket-Pueblo, Las Ami
mas, Weld, Sedgwick, Philips, Wash
ington, Yuma, Lincoln, Prowers, Bent,
otero, Huerfano, Moffat, Mesa, Delta,

ESCAPES FROM wATERY GRAVE

Last Sunday at Lake Electra, while
out rowing with John Sutherlin, Yves
Saenger had narrow escape from
being the first victim of a watery
grave at this resort. John Sutherlin,
who was fishing from the boat caught
his line on a snag and while endeav-
oring to unfasten it he tipped the boat
allowing enough water to get inside
which caused it to sink. John see
ing that his only chance was to jump,
leaped from the boat turning it over
and dumping Yves into the lake. Jim
Clifford, who was on the bank at the
time saw that Yves was unable to
swim and was in danger. Mr.. Cliff
ford at once swan out to where Yves
was struggling in the water and in
the course of few minutes had him
safely on terra firma.-Silverton

PUBLIC SENTIMENT CHANGES
SLOWLY.

All this talk about the people go
ing over and the people coming back
to parties just prior to election is
mostly hot air so far as national poll
tics is concerned. The molding Of
public opinion along these lines is
matter of gradual growth. 1t is not
the work of men and parties done
within few weeks of election that
counts the most. 1t is the early and
constant work that determines pubic
sentiment. 1t is true that unusual oc-
curences, such as wars, sudden de
preston of business and the like may
cause rapid changes in public sen
timent. But to the observing il is
evident that campa gn speeches just
before election have but little TO do
with the moldine OF public sentiment
In these days win the public press
bringing to tie attention of the vo.
ters the events as they happen II is
well to know tha. public opinion is
being formed each Gcy and that there
is no great ana sudden change unless
there happen unusual and significant
events.
When yol read that the people are
rapidly falling int, line you may rest
assured that the writer is making an
effort to cause the voters to feel u'st
possibly they have by mistake got
on the wrong side. 1t is with the
idea of miIleaiing the people. Pos
sibly there are those who, through ig.
norance of how the human mind is
effected, do sincerely believe that
great changes are being made in the
minds of the people. It is safe to
state that nine -tenths of all the talk
about the voters changing in the last
stages of hotly contested political
campaign is hot air.
OF course, the very ignorant and
wicked vote may be changed sudden
ly by undue influences, but this is a
very small per cent of the whole num-
ber of voters. This vote as a rule
is lined up and practically pledged
months before the November cleo
tions.
Simply because the vote in No
vember is not in accordance with the
estimates made five weeks before the
election there is no reason for be-
lieving that any radical change took
place. 1t does mean, however, that
those making the estimates did not
know how the voters stood or that
the estimates were made to fool some
body.
Those who have watched the po-
htical game closely realize that po-
litical fight is usually won or lost be-
fore the national conventions meet, ex-
cept in cases where large amounts of
money are used with the wicked vo-
ters who are not influenced by argu-
ments at any time by any body or
party.
This does not mean that it is not
worth while to make political CAM
paigns, since one of the most valu-
able elements in a campaign is inter
est. Through enthusiasm many a
man has been induced to go out to
the polls and vote. Without interest
or enthusiasm which usually result
from exciting campaigns one-third of
the voters of the country that ordi-
narily attend the polls would not take
the time to vote. Then, too, it is al
ways true that small per cent of
the people have not definitely decided
before hand what they will do when
they go into the voting places.
Semi-weekly herald., 1912-10-03

1t is somewhat amusing to notice
he estimates made by the different
party leaders as to the division of the
electoral vote. In the estimate given
by the Independent papers it shows
Wilson in the lead, but the same pa
pers state that it is yet five weeks
until election and that ordinarily a
large pant of the people do not make
up their minds as to how they will
vote until a week or two of election.
This is mistake. Very few voters
change their minds the last few weeks
of the campaign.

John Shafroth is worried over the
fact that of the 1855 members that
will be in the next legislature, but
thirty-two will be pledged in any way
on the senatorial question. After all
his trouble Shafroth may not be the
choice of the next legislature even
though it should happen to be Demo-
cratic. w. IL. Adams is not at all in
sympathy with the idea that Shat
roth should go to the senate. The
