and in the manner as recommnded b.
our president
We would particularly emphasize
the Importance of the principle OF a
protective tariff to the farming, min
ing and stock-raising industries of
this state; and we especially demand
protection for our sugar beet, wool.
lead and zinc industries.
We commend the administration Of
President Taft. We believe that 1t ex-
emplifies the spirit of that true pro-
gress that is conducive to the best
interests OF the American people. As
a president he has been the true ex-
ponent OF his nations highest ideals.
AS a man his character is without re-
proach and worthy of emulation. He
richly deserves a denomination at the
hands OF his party.
We, therefore, in accordance with
the time-honored custom Of our party,
most heartily indorse william II. Tart
for denomination and pledge ourselves
to work earnestly and enthusiastical-
ly for his reelection; and to this end
our delegates to the national conven-
ton are hereby instructed to vote as
a unit for the denomination of Presi-
dent Taft, and to use all honorable
means to bring about such result.
We call the attention of the people
of this state to the faithful and eff
cient services that have been render
ed to the state by Senator Simon Gug-
genhe!m. In his work in the United
States senate he has been Industrious
and painstaking on behalf of the best
interests of the whole state, and he
deserves the good will and cordial
thanks of every Republican.

RAIN AND MUD EVERY 81

E. o. Pfleger returned to Canon
City day or two ago from three
weeks business visit to various points
in the eastern and southern states
and says that people here cannot
realize without trip back there what
surfeit. of rain and mud they are
having in that portion of the country.
The Mississippi and Ohio rivers and
their tributaries, according to Mr..
Pfleger, are overflowing their banks
and that the continued rains are do
ing tremendous damage to property
along the smaller streams. At Mem

there was fifty-forr foot stage Of

the railroads have been put out Of

Pneger left Cincinnati on the last

deep back there that practically all

some places wagons are to be seen
mired to the hubs in the mud and Will
have to stay there until next summer
when they can be dug out. "we think
we have had n hard winter here"

Business and Industrial conditions are
also very much better here than in

Pneger. He says business was very
quiet at all places he visited and that
money was a mighty scarce article.

were taken but the result was not ma

The convention which was one OF
the greatest in the history of the Re-

for the complete control which the
Taft forces had at all times and 1t
will be remembered by two distinct
features which at the time appeared
as though they might cause a slight

levelheadedness of the leaders of all

Mr.. Reinmann says he has only be-
gan his harvest and that he has 600
acres of wheat to cut. The first he
cut with his big combine was in a
field of volunteer, the third crop
since seeding, and this yielded a
little ovor fifteen bushels per acre
Last spring he started to plow this
as it had yielded a good crop from
volunteer growth the year before
but after starting he noticed the
grain coming up rather thick so de-
cided to allow it to grow again this
year. He says he never even mar
howed this field this year and was
greatly surprised to receive such
returns.
