DENVER ENDORSES
HIGHWAY MEASURE

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Dec. 3l.-Declaring that
the greatest need of Colorado at this
time is the construction of state
wide system OF highways, Denver
business men who last spring had
charge of the campaign in that city
for the mountain parks, have gone
on record as fayoring the re-enact-
ment by the next legislature of
House Bill No. 200, or the passage
of similar measure. In other
words they will ask the general as
sembly to turn over the vast sums
now lying idle in the treasury and
available for road work to the high
way commission in order that active
road construction may be commenced
Immediately within the state.
This was the unanimous decision
OF the committee at a meeting yes
terday, Governor-elect Ammons al
so attended this meeting and took
a prominent part in the proceedings
and in the campaign to he waged
for good roads he has already pledg-
ed his hearty support.
The members of the Mountain
Parks Committee believe that the
work commenced by the present
state wide system of highways is
the most important ever undertaken
in the state. They feel that this
work should be continued and that
there should be placed at the dispos-
al of the commission the funds avail
able for road building in Colorado,
and which will enable the general
plan to he carried out without in
terruption.
The committee will work in con
nection with all good roads organiza-
tions to bring about the passage of
the bill desired. Aid will also be
asked of every commercial body I'm
the state, and publicity campaign
carried on in every county 1t is
proposed that all those Interested in
good roads write to their senators
and REPRESENTATIVES, urging upon
them the necessity of having law
which will give to the highway com
mission sufficient funds to carry on
the work already mapped out.
One of the things most desired is
that the highway commission shall
have the power to use within it's dis
erection whateve rof state funds the
members of the commission may
think necessary III order to construct

GOVERNMENT SAYS
BONDS ARE WORTHLESS

The demand by the United States
general land office on the countv
com missioners of Mesa county for
$4,000, which it is alleged is the
value of timber purchased for the
county from two De Beque men who
are under arrest from cutting gov
ernment forests, will be turned down
by the board of county commission
ers, and plans are being made to
combat the move.
j. G. Harrington and William
Morelock of De Beque were arrested
several weeks ago, as mentioned i'm
me Sentinel, at the time. They
claim that they have patents and
deeds for every foot of land from
which they have cut timber and re-
fuse to believe that a conviction can
be secured. 1t is claimed that gov
ernment engineers have SURVEYED the
ground, and find a variance of one
mile in the corners as set nv tho
ton.
In the meantime the govern ment
is demanding from all purchasers of
timber from the accused men sums
equal to the value of the timber. ana
intends to enforce payment.
The Fruit Belt route. the Denver
d RIO Grande, and various other cor
porations will be made defendants in
government suits if they refuse TO
pay second time for their pur-
chases.
The county commissioners will
take up the question next Monday
and proceed along lines advised by
county Attorney Halderman.

Harvey Helms Position on Tenn.

stamford Interior Journal. }

Col Jack Chinn, of Harrodsburg,
withdrew from the race for Congress in
this district Monday, announcing his
withdrawal IN speech at Lancaster in
which he proved the belief of many
Democrats that he had been merely a
stalking horse for Judge Sullivan
throughout the entire contest.
In attempting to injure Harvey Helm
al he could in his valedictory Col.
Chinn declared that the fight would
now be waged between Sullivan and
Helm with the Whisky Democrats
backing Helm. AS Col. Chinn has fire.
quently stated in his own canvass that
if the might riders, toll gate raiders
and fox hunters" would vote for him
the other fellows could have the
preachers and prohibitionists" one
might be inclined to wonder whether
Col. Chinn gave the subject sober
thought before asserting so positively
that the whisky men have made such a
sudden switch in their preference.
Col. Chinn wants to know what is
Congressman Helm's attitude and asks
if be will oppose the shipment of liquor
into dry territory.
The Interior Journal is hardly in
clined to believe that Mr.. Helm will
feel violently constrained to give Col.
Chinn categorical answer to this ques-
ton, in view of Chinn's own conduct in
the present race.
AS temperance newspaper at ALI
times, however, the Interior Journal
feels inclined to state right here for
itself that it knows Congressman
Helms position on this matter, and is
completely satisfied with it. 1t knows
that ne stands pledged to support the
Shepard-Kenyon bill in Congress,
which will prohibit the inter, state
shipment of liquor into dry territory.
1t further knows that leading tenn
perance men in the district who have
inquired his position on this bill-the
only measure the temperance people
have asked him to support-have been
fully satisfied that he is heartily for it
and pledged himself for it long before
Col. Chinn or any one else with an ul-
terror purpose to serve. sought to en-
barrass him by asking him such a cues
ton.
The charge that Harvey Helm has
aligned himself with the whisky inter-
ests is as base falsehood as the accu-
sation made by Dsnville paper that
he fought McCreery and his friends.

Col. Jack Chinn, who has been max
ing a vigorous campaign for the De-
mocratic nomination for Congress in
this district, announced his withdrawal
at the conclusion of a red-hot speech
delivered to a large audience in the
court house at Lancaster Monday
afternoon. The following are the
reasons given by by Col. Chinn for quit
ting the race: cat the beginning of
this contest, tn ere was no special line
up and the whisky people and the
temperance people in large numbers

Kentucky Senate, l had been sue

5000 MAJORITY.
Hon. Jere A. Sullivan will Get a
Rousins Majority in Madison

Hon. Jere Sullivan has always been
loyal to Madison county. and if chosen
as the congressman for the district he
will be loyal to every county. He will
have back of him a record of something
accomplished. No Democrat in the
State has been more loyal to the party
and last year when report. started at
Stanford, came very nearly wrecking
the party, he exerted his best energies
in restoring harmony. In the light of
such facts should Stanford man be
honored over him this year. Are the
Democrats willing to forget so soon,
such patriotic and unselfish devotion to
party principles. Old Madison pro-
poses to do her share on election day
and the leaders are predicting that Sui
livan will not poll a majority of less
than $500, with possibility of 5000.
Madison is going to give her favorite
son a majority that will be difficult to
overcome, for locally we owe him a
debt of gratitude and as Democrats
we are bound to him for his loyalty in
the past and his liberality both in time
and money.-Richmond Climax.

IS HELM FOR WHISKY.
Charge Made That His Forces
Combined With Interests in
Anderson County.

According to reports received in Dan
vile, Congressman Harvey Helm, who
is candidate for reelection, made an
unmerciful attack on Democrats who
have scratched the ticket in the past
in his speech at Lawrenceburg last
Monday. 1t was rumored that Con-
gresham Helm had planned to make
the attack in Danville last Saturday,
but on account of the large number of
independents in Boyle county, held up
this part of the speech until he spoke
in Lawrenceburg, where the independ-
ent element is CON paratively small.
While the editors of the Advocate be-
ieve in voting the straight ticket yet
we are inclined to take back to the fold
any of those who have made mistake and
are willing to repent and come back.
The Democratic party needs all the reg.
ular men, boilers and independets it
can get and we do not believe in deliv-
ering insults to any class of voters,
Congressman Helm seems to have
started out to wreck the party or win
the race. A large number of Helm sup
porters in Danville are busy putting
out an insult, similar to one started
from Stanford last year which is calcu-
lated to wreck the party if it is not
stopped. Last year Stanford publicly
offered the insult; this year it is being
clandestinely passed around. If the
Democrats want tC succeed in this dis
trict, they had better get Helm off the
track or force him to change his tao
tics. In line with the current rumor of
Helms antagonism to the State admin
istration at Frankfort is the further
report from Lawrenceburg that the
Helm henchmen combined with the
whisky men to defeat the McCreary
forces at the recent convention and did
defeat them. The question is being
asked, is Helm combining with the IL
quor men in Lawrenceburg and the
temperance people in the dry territory.
How is he on the liquor question any,
way?-Danville Advocate.
