client of the bank.
But the man was angry and be-
gan to say ''fraud' and thief"
and "uar." He went out upon the
street and shouted that the bank
was a den of robbers. He said he
knew the first bunch of stuff was
bad-the 1O1 that he had crammed
into his pockets. He was making
no kick about that. They had
caught him with the goods. ~and
again he grinned a savage grin.

State Primaries

Senator Dixon. acting a. the man

and TO the supporters of the former
president to refrain from participate
ing In the republican primaries next
Tuesday. Edward p. Costigan.
progressive candidate for governor
has seconded the appeal and u
urging all progressives to stay away
from the primaries on the ground
that morally NO man can participate
In = republican primary when he
knows he intends to support the
progressive ticket in the fall. The
appeal of Senator Dixon came follow
ing an all day conference between
himself. the leaders of the Costigan
crowd, and Messrs. Stewart, VIM
cent and FGriffith. AT this CONFER
ence Mr.. Dixon pointed out to Mr..
Stewart and the others that a pro-
gressive could not be republican;
that the principles of the two par
ties are entirely different. and he
urged Mr.. Stewart to Withdraw
from the republican primaries and
Stewart. Vincent and Griffith were
offered positions on the progressive
ticket II they would go into the
progressive camp. This they dcelin-
ed to do. maintaining that they In
tended to capture the republican
primaries and to turn the organiza-
ton of that party over to the pro-
gressives II they can do so, some
thing the prOgressives do not want.
In a general statement issued to
the people of Colorado, Dixon takes
the position that the position of

sives to refrain from participating
in the republican primaries because
he maintains that there Is a moral
phase to the situation which nc
party can violate and be successful.

Once there was a man who came
to the bank and passed in for cred
1t a fat roll of bills. His deposit
slip was made out for $3.50. The
cashier at once detected counter
feits. He counted out 101 bad

crammed them back into his pocket

winked at some friends who were
standing near. Then he Kissed be-
