NOTED SPEAKER COMING.

When Roosevelt went over the
mountains to the coast on his big tour,
the Republicans sent noted speakers
on his trail and the Democrats sent
Bryan after him.
1t has been decided by the Demo-
Gratis who have begun to worry over
the tendency toward the Republican
party to send Governor Wilson west
at least rs far as Colorado for the
purpose of holding in check the move
ment from the Democratic ranks on
account of the tariff question.
One of the greatest speakers this
country has produced in quarter of
q century is Senator Burton of Ohio.
This is the man that will be called
upon to follow Wilson and Bryan into
the west. Those who know Burton
say that he is equal to any man in
the United States and is one of the
best informed on the tariff. 1t is ex-
pected thai he will tear to pieces the
sophistry of both Wilson and Bryan
on the tariff question. 1t is expect
ed that in tie mining, sugar beet and
wool growing sections he will build up
a strong Republican sentiment that
cannot be torn down.

Ammons says he VIII not promn,c Ty-
nan the position and romarks that Ty-
nan can run as m independent can
didate for governor IL he wants to
do so.
This remark of the Democratic can
didate for governor may look well
on paper and may sound well, but to
those who realize the effect i. wouli
have on the Democratic vote OF the
state it sounds like one big bluff. 1t
is known that Ammons is scared and
will give most any thing reasonable
to get lyman out Of the way. Should
lyman drop out Of the contest it is
well assured that he will be reap
pointed warden Of the penitentiary
and that there will be no further fuss
about the matter of appointment
should Ammons be elected.

SAME OLD SYSTEM.

Some Of the Democratic newspapers
are very busy just now making up
straw votes for the benefit of those
who like to read favorable Demo-
cratic returns.
These most favorable returns might
have some effect on the wavering vo-
ters did they not know that similar
estimates have Dsen made by these
same newspapers and politicians ev-
cry four years for half century. 1t
will be remembered that when Par
ker was overwhelmingly defeated
eight years ago the political fore
casts of the Democratic politicians
had Parker elected by one of the big
gest votes ever given to a man in
this country.
They now have Wilson elected in the
same way. According to the Demo-
cratic method of electing presidents
Bryan was easily elected three times,
but some how the vote gets side
tracked on election day and then the
Democrats put up the cry of stolen
votes and big money spent by the
Republicans.

JOINT DEBATE PROPOSED.

Now comes E. p Costigan, candi-
date for governor on the Progressive
ticket, and challenges both Parks, can
didate for governor on the Republican
ticket, and Ammons, candidate for
governor on the Democratic ticket, to
a series of joint debates during the
campaign.
Costigan claims that the people of
the state are very anxious to learn
more of the issues of the day and that
the joint debate system will do more
good than will any other plan that
can be devised.
No doubt Mr.. Costigan is right
about the method he suggests being
the best one to draw the crowds and
perhaps the least expensive, but the
Republicans feel that the Progressives
want to adopt this system of getting
people out to hear them, that the peo-
pie are not much concerned in the
issues being advocated by the third
party, that Costigan realizes this fact
and that he is very anxious to adopt
this method in order to get the bene-
fits of the crowds that will naturally
come out to hear the Republicans
speak. 1t has not yet been decided
what consideration will be given the
challenge.

NOVELIST rs YEARS OLD.

LONDON, Oct. 4.-Mrs. John Max
well, so much better known to read
ers of fiction as Miss Braddon, quietly
celebrated her seventy-ffth birthday
anniversary today at her home in
Richmond, one of the loveliest spots
on the River Thames. The author of
Lady Audley's Secret" and more than
half hundred other popular novels,
was born in London, Oct. 4, 1887. In
early life she embarked upon a stage
career. 1t was while performing in
theater at Hull that she discoyeged
lnat acting was not her forte, and
wrote her first novel, "Three Times
Dead" Before it was published the
publisher, involved in difficulty, pass
cd on the sheets to another man. This
man considered the story rubbish"
and destroyed it, but lived long
enough to regret his action, when
Miss Bradden sprang into popularity
and he found tia, he had foolishiy
destroyed her first effort, that might
Fave been a GOLD mine to him.

HOT CAMPAIGN IN CONEJOS
COUNTY.

ever in Conejos county the Demo-
Gratis ard the Republicans are enjoy
ing an active campaign.
Urlil recently the Democrats and
the Republicans fri ed regularly. F,r
years there seemed to be no hope o.
breaking up fusion which had result
ed in a very bad condition of affairs,
Politi.s had been closely connected
with business and il became almost
i4Iossitie for on, who did not en-
dorse ard take an active part in fu-
sion olitics to make living in the
county.
Gradually there grew up strong
sentiment against the gang in the
face OF all the odds until it became i'm
possible to longer hope for success un-
der the old system of fusion.
The Independent Republicans went
to the Democrats and promised to
give them their support if they would
put up a straight ticket. w. H. Adams
saw the necessity of accepting the
proposition in order to save himself
The Democrats put up a straight
ticket. The Republicans did likewise
The Independent Republicans remain
ed true to their promises and voted
the Democratic ticket which was elect
ed by several hundred majority
The so-called old gang men no long
er work together. Some of them are
with the Republican party and some
are with the Democratic party.
The Democrats are in power. The
independent Republicans have all gone
back to the Republican party and
there promises to be one of the great
est political fights even seen in the
county.
The Progressives are standing with
the Republicans against the Adams
crowd and are supporting w. A. Brai-
den of La lara for state senator
against Adams.
Judge Holbrook, who was formerly
classed as gang man, is now being
supported by the progressive ele-
ments of both parties and by the
Progressive party people and it is
claimed that he will receive hand
some majority over Moses, the Demo-
cratic nominee.

ENGLISHMAN'S HIGH PRAISE OF
CORN ON THE COR.

Ii. G. Wells, a famous English nov
elist, writing a piece of fiction in the
October American Magazine, say. in

ject of food:
"And look at America. Here's n
people who haven't any Of them been

PARKER AFTER BRYAN.

When the Democrats met in SYRIA
cuse to nominate state ticket they
as usual named Alton b. Parker TO
act as chairman of the convention.
No doubt the one chief reason why he
was named for chairman was for his
vindication, since Bryan put him in
the down-and-out club at Baltimore.
Parker is the one big man in New
York even if he is reactionary.
Parker says that he is a progress
sive, but it is necessary for him to
say that just now even in the EN-
pire state. Just what he is is better
determined by his acts.
It is quite evident from the feel
ing that exists that Parker has not
forgotten what Bryan said about him
at Baltimore, and accepted the oppor-
tunity to say some discourteous things
about the Honorable w. ]. Bryan for
the classification he made of Parker
and the Tammany people with the
Ryan-Belmont millionaire politicians.
In his first words to the conven-
ton which had by almost unanimous
vote chosen him chairman were:
"It is true that there was sug-
gestion at Baltimore that ] was put
forward to represent Thomas F. Ryan
of New York. There has been an
attempt made to re-endorse state
ment made at the time of the Balti-
r.ore convention that Thomas +. Ry-
an had selected his attorney, Elihu
Root, to preside as the temporary
chairman of the Republican national
convention and that he likewise had
chosen another attorney of his, Alton
B. Parker, to be temporary chair
man of the Baltimore convention.
"lhere is no client that ] ever had
that could control my political ac-
ton. But rather than that, Thomas
f. Ryan was never my client and
never paid me dollar for services
in his life.
-Four years ago the distinguished
gentleman whose name has been mem
toned here (Mr. Bryan) as not only
in opposition to me as candidate but
against me personally, was good
enough to write me letter thanking
me for my contribution to the Demo-
cratic platform; he was good enough
to write me inviting me to Lincoln
but he was good enough to afterward
to accept my invitation to visit me at
Esopus.
"He requested the national commit
tee that l should render such service
as / could on the stump, and wherever
! was asked to go by that commit
tee, in ten states, in all, / attempted
TO lift my voice and do work in be-
half of that ticket"

ing the administration of President
Cleveland, while she was struggling
TO retain the royal crown of Hawai-,

the gibes OF cartoonists and para
graphers:
II saw her recently in Honolulu
She was driving out, according 10 hen
custom, in an open carriage-a really
impressive figure, large, dark, and
with an air of distinction not unqueen-

and pride, she has now retired and at
the age Of seventy, lives serenely in a
beautiful old home shaded with trop-
ical foliage only stones throw from
the palace where she once reigned-
the palace where now sits the Ameri-
can governor. She shuns publicity
but she loves to gather groups of her
old friends about her, and to listen
to the singing of the sweet Hawaiian
songs. Though having no longer any
power, she is looked up to and ven
Grated by all her people-all the pa
thetic remnant of a once numerous
race of islanders. While she was bit
terly attacked in her day by the
Americans who wished to rule the is
lands, and while she caused a revo-
luton which cost her a crown, there
are many today who will tell you that
after all, she was only making last
forlorn stand for her people and for
her throne against the encroachments
of the eager, busy, destructive, ire
sistible, orderly white man. After il
was all over and she came back to
Honolulu, the American government
voted her generous pension, and she
has been living quietly upon it ever
since. Those who know her intimate.

their clothing aflame, battled to get

in the burning wreckage. Crowds of
rescuers stood by helpless to aid the
victims who could plainly be seen in

The colonel had his own way: talk.
ing without interruption for an hour,
along any line he desired.
He said if elected president this
fall that he would receive Rockefeller
or any other trust magnate if the
latter wanted to see him, and if he
(Roosevelt) had anything to ask "for
the public service" from these finan-
ciers, he would send for them.
Once, shaking his fist at. the COM
mittee, he declared that the United
States senate should oust Senator
Penrose for his attitude on the Arch
bold donation matter.
The principal part of Colonel Roos-
evelt's examination before the COM
mittee was concerning the 100000
Standard Oil contribution to the Re-
publican national campaign fund of
1904.
Several hundred people lined up in
the corridors of the senate building
two hours before the time set for
the hearing, hoping to get into the

both as to quality and quantity exhib-
tied. Jewelry and blankets displayed

The agricultural and fruit exhibits

pumpkins. .s.s
