DEMOCRATS OPPOSE THE AD-
MINISTRATION.

When Governor Shafroth came be-
fore the Democratic state convention
four years ago the machine men did
everything in their power to keep him
from securing the nomination, but as
soon as the outside counties saw the
movement they flocked to Mr.. Shat
roth and he was nominated in spite of
the efforts of the machine. He car
ried the whole Democratic ticket
through. The machine fought him at
every turn and blocked all legislation.
Two years ago he came before the
Democratic convention and the ma
chine stood like stone wall against
him. Again the progressives fiocked
to his aid and he was again nomi-
mated. The gang Democrats contin-
ued their fight on him and have kept
1t up against the Democrats in the
state house who are known as pro-
gressives. The strong personalities
of such men as Shafroth, Pearce and
others now in office pulled majority
of the Democratic ticket through by
securing big vote from the Repub-
lican side. Certainly the Democratic
legislature should have honored Alva
Adams or Governor Shafroth with of
fee of United States ser ator.

REQUESTED TO ASSIST STATE
officers In PROTECTING
UNDERSIZED FISH

The state officers, realizing that
soon the fishing season will be on in
full blast, are taking precautions to
protect in every possible way the
small trout particularly, and the large
fish generally. 1t behooves all to as
Aist the officers in this matter, since
the state is at large annual ex-
pense to keep the streams supplied
with the speckled beauties. Fishing
is not only one of the finest of Ameri-
can sports, but is at the same time
one of the big industries of the state.
1t is sport and yet at the same
time it has greater significance and
becomes an industry that brings to
this state thousands of dollars an
nually. When our mountain roads
are developed as they soon will be,
the fishing business will undoubtedly
assume immense proportions and it is
well that we begin early to stock all
Colorado streams and protect particu-
larly the small fish. Below we pub
lish, at the suggestion of G. II. Thorn
son, fish culturist and superintendent
of the Estes Park fish hatchery, The
following:
when removing an undersized
trout from your hook, always moistan
your hands before grasping the FISH;
otherwise the dry hand will remove
the slime from the back of the trout,
when it is only question of time until
fungus sets in and the fish will die.
Always kill your fish that are large
enough to keep, as soon as taken from
the hook. This can be done by giving
it stroke with stick on the head,
Ick of the eyes. 1t will avoid all
suffering, and make your fish far bet,
ter for table use.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 21-24, l3Gs,

automobiles passing down through the

banners, and exhibitions of the mag

solicit an interest never before OBJ

SIDE trips are to be made which will,
of course, offer an opportunity to all
tourists to attend conventions, expo
sitions and visit many points of in

not only those belonging to CONNER
