Same old Game.

The democrats of Denver, as usual
put up show Of fight in their count,
assembly and the Shafroth- Patterson
Arnold crowd walked out and held q
boiling convention. As matter OF
course and as part OF the democratic
program, the bolting delegation was
turned down when they asked for seats
In the democratic state assembly at
Pueblo.
The democratic program has been
and is now to again use the citizens
party Of Denver for the purpose Of as.
sisting in the election Of n democratic
state ticket. The party was used sue
cessfully TO give the democrats control
OF the Denver city government for an
other term and, in that campaign, Pat.
terson through his paper gave the dear
people TO understand that the citizens
party had been organized solely for the
purpose Of handling the local city issues
and that, when the election had been
carried. the work OF the citizens party
would have been accomplished and the
party would be disbanded. Such OF
course was far from being the intention
OF the Patterson crowd at that time bu,
that representation was made In order
TO catch republican votes. They caught
the republican votes that gave them
control Of the city government and for
a time, were so careful TO show good
faith with the republicans who helped
them get control that Mayor Arnold
gave II out publicly that he had been @.
lcetcd ON nonpartiaan ticket and would
have nothing TO do with partisan poll.
ties during his term OF Office. Il was
necessary. however. that Mayor Arnold
the head Of the citizens purity, should be
connected with the democratic boiling
delegation to the state assembly so that
when the delegation was refused seats
In the convention. he would be given
some sort Of an excuse IN the eyes OF
his followers for falling back on the
citizens party with which To make the
fight on the Spccr Denver machine.
The democratic plan from way back
has been 10 use the citizens party TO
help elect the democratic state ,Iekot
and the program OF the past week ha,
been carried out with that object In

Mud Gun Campaign.

W. j. Bryan has turned his mud guns
on President Taft and is patting Colo
mel Roosevelt on the back. This line Of
campaign, as a matter of course, was
to be expected. Bryan failed three
times as presidential candidate. He
has chonged his tactics and is now un-
dertaking to elect another man as can
didate. Anything that has tendency
to weaken the republican candidate with
the voters works for the election of
Wilson. He has no fears of Roosevelt
so he champions the cause of Roosevelt
as against Taft and trains his mud guns
on the latter. Mud guns are dangerous
weapons at best to handle and, when
the use of them is resorted to this early
in the campaign, the gunner is very apt
to be at the most dangerous end of the
gun.

If

If all the noisy candidanes who toot
the braZen horn-if all of these and kin
dred skates were busy plowing corn, we
wouldn't need to fret and fuss about
the nations good; prosperity as never
yet would rule our neighborhood. If
tariff tinkers and the like would drop
the futile loads, and work with shovels
on the pike, we'd nave the finest roads
Then every town would prosper well,
the people'd sing song, and merry as
a marrige bell the world would roll a.
lsng! If all the loafing Jims and Jakes
who on the corners stand, would fix
themselves with hoes and rakes and
cultivate the land, million wives who
wash and scrub and carry in the wood.
might say farewell to mop and tub, and
llve as matrons should. And ragged
children, short Of scads. their cheeks by
famine thinned, might live in comfort
if their dads would just cut out the wind
II all the men who take horn some
umpty times day, would just pass up
j. Barleycorn and walk the sober way,
sidestep the joints where lager foams
% tempt the thirsty boy, then in mil
ion darkened homes the wives would
leap for joy.-Walt Mason.

Legislative Convention.

Notwithstanding the democratic "ger-
rymandering that ties Yuma county
up with Denver county in our senatori-
al district, the Denver delegation did
the square thing in the conv ntion by
passing their place on the roll call and
in the end casting their entire vote for
candidate receiving the highest vote
from the delegations from the rural
counties. Arapahoe county had can
didate in the person of Lutte Taylor but
Mr.. Howser had received the entire
vote of every delegation outside of A
rapahoe when Denver was called and,
according to their agreement, Denver
cast her 12S votes for the Phillips coun-
ty attorney. This gave Taylor but
fourteen votes which was less than the
required ten per cent and, therefore,
Howser's will be the ouly. name to go
on the primary ballot.
Mr.. Howser is not stranger in Yu-
ma county, having had considerable lie.
gal practice IN the district court in this
county and he will get good strong
vote here. He is good, clean man
who will serve the interest of this por-
tion of the state If elected.
The republican representative assem-.
bly, for the district comprising the coun
ties of Phillips, Yuma, Kit Carson,
Cheyenne and Lincoln counties put three
candidates on the primary ballot at
their convention held on Wednesday Of
this week. W. D. McGinnis Of Yuma,
P. B. Godsman of Kit Carson and F. F.
Vogel of Lincoln county were designat-
ed. The vote in the convention stood
McGinnis. 10 votes; Godsman l6 votes
and Vogel 9 votes. The Yuma county
man received the entire vote Of Yum
and Phillips counties and one vote OF
the delegation from Kit Carson county
Mr.. McGinnis has been a resident OF
Yuma county for twenty-five years ant
from the standpoint Of business ability
and knowledge Of the needs Of his dis.
trict is well qualified. With three can
didates in the field for the nomination
his chances look good 10 win out in the
primaries. .-Wray Gazette.

Cut Your Weeds

Do not rail at fortune tickle,

Blow some money for sickle
Cut yous weeds;
Let the politicians wrangle;
Take view from your own angle;
Roll your sleeves ups slash and mangl
Cut your weeds.
Stow that gloom-fest with your neigh

Cut your weeds;
There is naught that pays like labor
Cut your weeds;
Though palladiums are rocking
And the state of things is shocking,
Let the others do the knocking

While man filings his verbal missils;

Direct Primary.

that they were being deprived of tn,

to them this privilege. was the direc
primary law. which.would relegate tn,
party boss and slate maker to a bach
seat and insure the namination Of can
didates that are always the choice o.
the members Of the party.
The proposition looked well and sount
ed nice to the voters and they voted fol-
the direct primary.
The direct primary election is now
near at hand. The party assemble.

ways followed under the old delegate

clearly either that the dear people do

REBELS LIKELY TO
TAKE WYLIE SMITH
AWAY FROM JUAREZ

Ell PAsO. TEXAS, July PSI. Wylie
Smith, the Atlanta loan agent, will
probably be taken away from Juarez
by the rebels when they evacuate that
city.
The United States authorities have
been trying to eXtradite Smith, but
General Orozco refused to turn him
over to them.
1t was the intention of Orozco to
leave Smith in the Juarez Jail when he
evacuated the city, but it has later de-
veloped that instead he will probably
hold him for a reward.
1t seems that the rebels believe that
smith has part of the money that he is
accused Of obtaining by forgery and
they are trying to get it from him
The United States and Mexican fed
era government are both powerless
while he is a prisoner of the rebels.

SENATE BILL MAKES
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
STATE MISDEMEANOR

Asserting that cruelty to animals is
a common offense in Georgia and should
be considered a crime, Senator Spence.
of Camilla, has sent bill to the upper
house fixing misdemeanor penalty for
mistreatment of live stock
His measure is modelled after va
rious city ordinances making cruelty
to animals crime and will have gem
eral application. In discussing the ne
cessity Of the bill Senator Spence said;
The cities have always handled Of
lenses of this character through their
ordinances, but there has been no law
in the country districts under which a
man could be araigrcd for mistreat-
ment of his animals
There is any amount of this sort OF
cruelty in the state not among the
farmers, but in construction and vail
road grade camps have seen mules
literally driven to death because con-
tractors had considered it cheaper to
work them to death and buy fresh
stock"
