ings held by Roosevelt in the state.
1t is reported that he will be given
a place on the Progressive ticket as
one of the presidential electors. 1t
is also reported that Dodge will be
given place on the ticket for con-
gresham at large in the place of
Burns of Denver who will resign.
1t is reported that if Roosevelt is
elected he will provide Stewart with
some good fat position. Remember
ing that Roosevelt and Stewart have
been long time friends, it is no sur
prise to many that such a rumor has
been started that Stewart will be
given some important position should
the Rough Rider be elected.
Just how many votes Stewart can
take with him is matter of con-
siderable conjecture.

CONFUSION IN NEW YORK.

Certainly New York politics is bad
ly mixed up. 1t is reported that many
Of the Tammany voters will be in line
for Taft, that many of the former
Democrats have come out for the
Progressive party, that the Wilson
Republican league will bring over
from the Republican party many
votes to Wilson.
Then again there is hard fight
between the progressive Democrats
and the machine Democrats in the
state. The machine men are for the
denomination of Dix. In the recent
primaries it developed that they, the
Murphy crowd, have absolute control
and can nominate Dix if they want to
do so. The progressives in the party
claim that he can not be reelected
and are making bitter fight against
him. They have the support of Gov
ernor Wilson and Senator O'Gorman.
Even yet 1t is not known what
Hearst will do. He has not yet come
out for Wilson. Both the Progress
sive party and the Democratic party
are claiming his support. At present
he is learning toward the Roosevelt
party, but has been very lukewarm
in the support of any of the presi-
Dental nominees. Should he take the
unexpected course as Hearst is in the
habit of doing at the last minute,
he would still further complicate mat
ters in the Empire state.

DRAWS FOREIGN
AND EASTERN CAPITAL.

Eastern and European capitalists,
represented in Denver by W. L. Ruck-
er, who was chiefly instrumental in
working out the scheme for financing
and reorganizing the Denver Reser-
voir Irrigation project, have taken
over a number of irrigation enter
prises in southwestern Colorado in the
vicinity of Durango, and Pennington,
N. M, which will mean more for that
part of Colorado than anything that
has occurred in great many years.
The entry of these capitalists into
the San Juan country means the ex-
penditure of about sS50,O0O in addi-
tion to the $250,OOO already expended,
and the bringing under cultivation of
$4,000 acres of as rich farming lands
as can be found anywhere in the coun-
try.
The three projects which have been
taken over are the Florida Mesa COM
pany, which contains $4,000 acres, a
part of which is already being irri-
gated; the Hammond project, which
about 10000 acres, and the
Pine river project of nearly $4,000
acres.
These have been fully financed and
work will be commenced at once. The

GOOD ROADS AND NATIONAL
DEFENSE.

Whatever benefits of military
character may be derived from the
recent army maneuvers (and they
will doubtless be many the opera
tions have had the much desired re-
suit of drawing attention forcibly to
the necessity for good roads as a
part of the system of national de-
fenses. The Army and Navy Jour
nal states that there was one opinion
shared unanimously by army and Ma
tional Guard officers who took in the
Connecticut maneuvers. 1t was that
the roads of that state, with the ex-
ception of some of Tie main turn
pixies, are not what the roads of so
OLD and advanced a state as Connec
ticut should be. We are told that in
the event of war ond heavy fall
of rain, the side roads would be al
most as impossible as the Virginia
dirt roads were during the Civil war.
The necessity for good roads is en-
phasized by the fact that the country
is hilly; and those of us who have
had occasion to travel through the
state know that some of the hills
are both steep and long.
The defensive mepeuvers in Con-
necticut proved once more that good
highways are absolutely necessary for
the rapid disposition of troops. Ma
poleon understood this fact, and his
system of military roads is one of
the finest monuments left by this SOL
dier-engineer. 1t is not to the point
to say that railroads, which were un-
known in Napoleon's day, are avail
able now; for while the railroads are
excellent for the conveyance of large
bodies of troops quickly over long
distances, we must remember that the
majority of the movements of the
troops, especially in tactical move
ments, must be made over the state
and country roads.-Scientific Amer

AUTOS PLAY A LEADING
PART IN BUSINESS
(By Ernest R. Benson, Sales Manager
of the Studebaker Corporation.)

(By Ernest r. Benson, Sales Manager
of the Studebaker Corporation.)
/ wonder if the general public ap-
preciates the important part that is
now being played in the business
world by the army of automobile deal
ers, operating all over the United
States.
Drop into any village or little city
in the country, and the livest young
business man you'll meet is the lead
ing automobile dealer. Try any large
city and you won't find more wide
awake, hustling class of men than
IL ose who sell motor cars.
Slow but steadily the irresponsi-
BILE, joy-riding element, so prominent
in the early stages of the industry,
has been elimina:cl until now those
who have made good and earned a
place for themselves and the cars they
handle. ,nonopolize the field. Often
we find that our dealer is one of the
wealthiest men in his home city. And,
if the dealer is not yet himself a
man of means, he is almost always
associated in q quiet way with bust
ness men Of the very highest class
who are backing his brains and abil-
ity.
The automobile dealer of today is
a scientific salesman, ready to pom
der every suggestion that comes to
him, and to appreciate its merit. He
welcomes advice from the factory he
represents. He is always ready to
trade selling pointers with comrades
handling the same line in other CEN
ters. Right now, inside the Stude-
baker organization, we have several
associations of dealers who work sys-
tematically together in this way, us
ing our branch in their state, as I,
clearing house for ideas.

TAFT REPUBLICANS WIN.

In the recent Minnesota contests
the Taft Republicans won in every
case contested. The Progressives had
claimed the state to be for Roose-
welt and it has been generally under
stood that the Taft men would lose
out up there in any contest with the
friends of Roosevelt. 1t appears that
the candidates ON the regular Repub-
iican party ticket have gained all the
nominations and that the Republican
party will now be opposed by the Pro-
gressive party.
Had the Roosevelt men been nomi-
matted there would have been no Pro-
gressive state ticket named. As 1t
is now there will be three tickets in
the field and the Democrats think they
will have a chance for victory in that
heretofore strong Republican state
These complications have proved to
be the most confusing in many OF
the states. The Republicans have
used considerable effort to remain to-
gether on the state ticket but state
after state have found it impossible
to agree upon that plan. 1t was at
tempted in Ohio and it was found in
advisable just as it has proved a
failure in Minnesota.
1t other states where the Progress
sive Republicans have controlled the
party the Taft Republicans have put
in the field ticket by petition.

LOSING INTEREST.

The Pueblo people have in meas
ure lost interest in the state fair and
as result the people over the state
are losing interest.
Owing to the failure of the state
to make the appropriation provided
for by the legislature the state fair
did not receive its moneys due from
the state and for that reason the
premiums given last year have not yet
been paid. This resulted in the farm
ers losing interest. They did not bring
in their exhibits as in former years
and as matter of fact that agri-
cultural display was not up to the
standard.
The machinery exhibit was fine and
many other features of the fair were
good, but the agricultural display is
the one for which the fair is sup
posed to exist and in this respect the
state fair was weak.
Some suggested that we have had
too much politics recently and that
the interest of the people have been
centered in that direction. This ex-
PLANTATION may have some merit, but
we are inclined to believe that the
loss of the state appropriation had
more to do with it than anything
else. Those Pueblo people will have
to put more enthusiasm in the fair
proposition if they keep up the inter
est of the people.

large portion of the population of
northern Ireland have pledged to fight
to death the enforcement of home
rule. Organizations have been eff

have been made. All England and
Ireland are dumbfounded at the move
ment to prevent by force of arms the
enforcement of the law which gives
the people of Ireland control of their
local affairs in a manner somewhat
similar to that given the Dominion

GRIFFITH WILL RESIGN.

Ben Griffith, who has been attor-
ney general of Colorado for the last
two years, was nominated again in
the recent primaries, but owing to
the fact that he was the only pro-
gressive Republican nominated on the
ticket he has decided to withdraw and
join the Progressive party.
Mr.. Griffith was one of the few
Republicans who was elected two
years ago. He has been strong
Roosevelt man and he with P. b.
Stewart and others tried to carry
the Republican primaries. Stewart
failed of nomination and Griffith de-
cided that he did not want to remain
on the Republican ticket when all
other candidates on the ticket would
be opposed to his political beliefs.
The Republicans asked Griffith to
get off the ticket and the Progress
sives asked him to join that party.
He has apparently decided to comply
with the requests of both parties.
1t is claimed that Griffith will be
named for attorney general on the
Progressive ticket. He thanks the
many Republicans who supported him
in the primaries but says that it
would be an injustice to both himself
and the Republican party for him
to remain on the ticket.
1t is stated that Goblin, the defeat
ed candidate in the primaries, will
be named by the committee to fill the
vacancy created by the resignation of
Griffith.

NOT SO HOPEFUL.

Until recently it was thought by
the Democrats that they would have
an easy victory this year. This feel
ing was indulged in to the extent that
they had arranged for Governor Will
son to remain at home during the
campaign.
1t is now six weeks before the cleo
ton and the Democrats are becoming
alarmed at the trend of affairs. From
all appearances they are not as con-
fident Of winning the November cleo
ton as they were when Cleveland
was elected in 1892.
They realize the weakness of the
Democratic party in New York state
and Missouri. In these states it ap-
pears that many of the former mem.
bers of the party are favoring Taft
and that some of the southern states
and perhaps some of the north cen
tral states are strong for Roosevelt
These conditions are more or less
aggravating to the Democrats who
have now decided to send Wilson out
to stop the drifting away from the
party that a month or two ago had
victory within its grasp.
Now it appears that, among other
states in line for Taft, Indiana, Ohio,
New York and Missouri are being
claimed for the Republican party and
into these states Governor Wilson has
been dispatched by the Democratic
committee with the hope of saving
at least some Of them.

FINE EXHIBIT OF ORE FROM LA
PLATA CAMP

A letter from J. w. Turner, who is
now at Colorado Springs, gives the
information that he is pleasantly To-
Gated in the Denver & Rio Grande
ticket office with the La Plata min
eral exhibit.
He says that the people there are
very appreciative of the fact that La
Plata county can show such mineral
wealth. He will remain with the ex
hibit in Colorado Springs for some
two weeks.
Our mineral exhibit has attracted
the attention of many. A number
have made visits to the La Platas and
and have invested there. Others who
have come into this section for the
purpose of investing in the mineral
lands have been attracted to the agri-
cultural lands and the general pros
perity of this section.
Those who have come into this sec
tion recently whether for mining or
for agricultural purposes have many
words of praise for our most excellent
climate.
The fruit lands in this section have
come in for their share of the IA
vorable comments made during the
last few months.
There is no doubt that the exhibit
that Turner has had in Denver, Grip
pie Creek and Colorado Springs has
done much toward giving the people a
general idea of our resources and
that our people have been amply re-
paid for the expense of the mineral
exhibit. The following from the Colo
RADIO Springs Telegraph:
Probably the finest exhibit of tel
lurium ores ever seen in this city is
on display at the city ticket office of
the Denver & Rio Grande railroad
under the supervision of j. w. Tur-
ner, representing the board of trade
of Durango. The ores are from the
La Plata mining district which COW
ers an area Of about twelve miles
square, and the samples are taken
from thirty claims widely scattered
iver the district. The exhibit is at
tracing much attention from mining
men of this city and several good
judges say that the ores are the An
est of the kind they have ever seen.
The ores are of sylvanite, calaverite
and petsite varieties of tellurium rock
and carry gold and silver in varying
proportions. Mr.. Turner has some
samples that run $50 to the pound.
He says that there are many good
chances for lessees in the La Plata
district.
"This is an old district that for
years was retarded by the fact that
much of the ground was held by old
prospectors who would or could do lit
tie to develop the mines and would
not let go of their properties on
any reasonable basis. The Durango
board of trade has done much in the
last couple of years to remedy this
and is working hard to en-
courage live mining men in that
field"
