DEMOCRATIC GEOGRAPHY

The Denver Democrats did the very
thing that II was suggested they might
do and that Is to nominate practical
W all their candidates from Denver. To
start with there is Shafroth for senator
the long term: Thomas for senator short
term; Ammons for governor; Kenehnn
for auditor; with the probability Of Mrs
Bradford for state superintendent; Dix
on for the supreme court and possi-
bly, one or two others, It is probable
that Denver will have nearly all the i'm
portant state positions.
The Republicans have used better
Judgment. The candidate for governor
will not he from Denver: the attorney
general VIII not be from the capital city;
the Judge of the supreme court and the
lieutenant governor will not come from
Denver. It is probable that two or three
others nominated by the Republicans
will come from other parts OF the state.
This win place the Democrats In
bad position when they go out Into the
rural districts asking for the suffrage
of the people. The cry OF the country
Democrats viii he Denver nominated the
candidates from Denver now let Denver
elect them. After ore or two contests
the parties will look closely into the
geography OF their ticket.

scorT-p1xoN CONTEST CLOSE.

one of the peculiar results OF the pri-
mary election is the close contest be-
tween Scott and Dixon for the supreme
court.
II will be remembered that Scott was
by far the most Influential In bringing
about the Democratic reforms and was
the big man In the state senate It was
thought by the progressive Democrats
that he would certainly defeat his op-
ponent easily.
The first returns sent In were to the
effect that Scott was defeated and
many of his friends could not under
stand how 1t could have happened when
Shafroth. who had worked with Scott
in securing the reforms, had such big
vote In the state.
Later returns would Indicate that Mr..
Scott has a chance yet TO get the count.
1t may be necessary to await the Of
fetal count in order to determine which
is nominated.

WHAT TO DO FOR ANTS.


An Iowa reader Is puzzled how to
keep ants from his pansies. | cannot
imagine what the ants want from pam
sizes or other healthy plants. They dc
no feed upon sound plant tissue. But
when plants are infested with aphis
tplant lice). ants are sure to come ard
feast on the hector secreted by tnese
lice. The remedy. of course. Is to get
rid of the plant lice: then you Will us
ually get rid of the ants. Spray lice
Infested plants with strong tobacco prep
aration. especially from the undersiJe. or
with Kerosene emulsion. or whale al
soal emulsion. Sometimes ants become
troublesome by building their great nests
in cultivated ground or in sod, or near
trees or shrubs. In that case procure
a quantity OF bisulphid or carbon punch
hole In the ant hill. pour tablespoon
fun or two into It. then quickly co, er
the hole with earth so that the fumes
OF the drug have to pervade all through
the ant hill. That viii quickly put a
stop to the nuisance.

SOCIALISTS CLAIM GAINS.

The Socialists are making a spirited
campaign and Debbs is touring the coun-
try in the interest of the party. Owing
to the fact that the Bull Moose people
have stolen some of the planks in the So
cialst platform the Socialists are pref
ty mad about 1t and are saying all kinds
Of mean things about Roosevelt and his
leaders.
Debbs is a great orator and 1t is con-
ceded that the confusion existing In the
old parties Is likely to stimulate the
Socialists to some extent AT least there
are those who claim to see a great gain
for that party. The old parties do not
take the matter very seriously and
claim that there is no danger of any
particular increase In their vote.
The party has been steadily gaining
and 1t would not be a great surprise n
they did increase their vote some this
year. There will be several million new
voters this year and it may be presumed
that the natural increase IN the Tote VIII
also bring Increase In the Socialist
vote even though there be no changes
fro mthe ol dparties to that party
The political statisticians of the coun-
try are trying to figure out which old
party will lose the more to tho Social

BORDER wARFARE

The United States officers have warn

that injury may come TO individuals
or property within our border.

WHAT THE GREATEST ISSUES ARE
FROM FARMERS VIEWPOINT.

After all the heat. sw eat and noise of
the three great conventions 1t Is worth
while to take stock of what the real
issues are for us. The tariff the trusts
and the other so-called big issues are
just as important to the farmer as TO
anyone; but we must not forget that.
unfortunately, farmers have been denied
certain things that are vastly import
ant to them for SO long that they must
be excused If for this campaign they
adopt the course of letting the others
do the cheering while they ask ques-
tions.
Parcels post is of more Importance
to farmers than tariff trusts or any
other big" business. For parcels post
means actual. measurable benefits. It
means as good parcels service for the
farms as the express companies now
give cities, and perhaps better. Why
should not farmers in this campaign put
on record every candidate for congress
in either house or parcels post. Why
should they not look up the records of
representatives and senators and see
how they behaved on parcels post. Why
should they not punish those who have
been against parcels post. either open
ly or secretly. by voting against them.
tariff or no tariff trust no trust. Why
not.
The Page vocational education bill
appears to US to be a bill of even more
Importance to farmers than parcels post.
For II seems to us to be the beginning
Of a new and better time for the child
rem why pot ask candidates some
questions as to this great measure.
The platforms favor parcels post, and
able generalities towards the Page biz.
But II will be good thing all around
II the farmers In this campaign will
let the candidates know that platform
generalIties are not satisfactory. and
that definite declarations are required
of those who ask for the farmers vote
