NO BREAK WITH HARVEY.
Governor Wilson Says Stories Are With
out Foundation.

Trenton, n. j., Jan. Ex-Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey in an
authorized interview here yesterday said
that so far as his information went, the
speculations contained in newspaper dis
patches that a breach had come between
Colonel Harvey of New York and him
self were entirely without foundation.
My attention." he said, "has of course,
been drawn to the fact that the last
two numbers of Harper's Weekly have
made no mention of my name, but this
is certainly not due to any breach of
any kind between Colonel Harvey and
myself. Colonel Harvey runs the Week
ly entirely on his own judgment.
According to the story whispered by
politicians who professed to have inside
information, Gov. Wilson had gone to
the length of writing letter to Col.
Harvey suggesting that the eolonel's ac-
tive interest in the Wilson movement
was injuring rather than helping the
cause.
Definite information as to the con-
tents of the supposed letter is lacking,
but some of GOV. Wilson's friends are
known to have suggested that the in
dorsement of Col. Harvey was displeas-
ing to some of the Democrats, whom the
governor is seeking to enlist
Col Harvey has been regarded by
many as the inventor of the Wilson
boom for the presidency. The orators
who spoke for Vivian NJ. Lewis, the Re-
publican opponent of Gov. Wilson in the
last gubernatorial campaign in New Jer-
sey, never lost an opportunity to refer
to the fact that Wilson's campaign was
being backed by Col. Harvey and his
paper printed in New York.

MAY GO TO GRAVE
FROM THE DELTA JAIL
HEIDINGER A HELPLESS MAN.
Lower Part of Prisoners Body is
in Parlyzed Condition and
Medical Attention is Need
cd Daily.

From the reports of local office. :
and physicians in attendance upon
L. M. Heioinger, now held prison
er in the county Jail on charges OF
white slavlng in this city and couh
ty for the next term OF district
court, it appears that the former
railroad messenger is in very crit
ical condition and that his next
hearing may come before the greatest
OF all judges.
Heidinger has been in poor health
for two or three Weeks past, and
medical attention was summoned
few days ago when it was discov-
cred that the prisoner is afflicted
with a chronic case of diabetes, {,
disease of the kidneys from which
very few can hope to recover, par
ticularly so when advanced stage
are reached.
The lower limbs of the prisoner
are parlyzed and he is now being
carefully lifted about and nursed by
other prisoners. The attending phy-
sician reports the Heidinger case a
very difficult one to deal with and
ii is not unlikely that he will be re-
moved from his present quarters in
cell in the county jail to some hos
pital where nursing and care will be
greatly simplified.
The trial of Heidinger is set for
the next term of the district court
in this county, which does not oc-
cur until next September, and he
will therefore Become a charge of
more than average moment, consid-
ering his present physical condition
and the assistance required in his
care.
Later:-Wednes esday it became ap-
parent that Heidinger was growing
worse and might not be brought to
trial at the September term of court
Assistant District Attorney Charles
worth prepared a written statement
OF the facts with necessary affida-
wits. which were sent TO Judge
Shackelford for such orders concern
ing his removal from the Jail that
might be deemed necessary. Judge
Shackelford had not been heard from
as this issue of the Independent
went to press.

ACUSED POSTAL CLERK
TAKES HIS OWN LIFE.

Warren Davis, the young postal
clerk of Salida who was under sur
Neilance of L. S officers on suspi-
cion of his having stolen a package
containing $1,000, enroute through
the mails to a bank in Ouray, was
found dead in that city last Satur-
day morning.
When found, his stiffened fingers
still clutched SS-callibre revolver
from which he had fired the fatas
shot. On his person was found a
note explaining his reason for pre-
ferring death to arrest and fun ex-
hibit of his former life. He protest
cd innocence OF the theft, but said
that circumstantial evidence was so
strongly against him that he could
not hone to clear himself. He also
hoped to save his family from
complete hearing. which he thought
would disgrace them. and his pos
sible sentence to the state prison
Davis is n brother of Mrs. Stan"
icy Ferrin. former well known
resident of Delta. and he visited
here several times. He was per
feet specimen of humanity, always
courteous and popular wherever he
was known, but he got to going the
pace that kills" 1t is said by those
who knew him. and the outcome OF
his case truly verifies the saying.
Davis stated at the conclusion OF
his note that the real thief would
some day be found and made to pay
the penalty.

A'young couple from Hotchkiss-

Ipart ii last week and applied for a

doubts whatever as to the ages or

answer was in the affirmative, but
the applicant insisted that both he

LOCAL PRESIDENTIAL PRI-
MARES HELD SATURDAY
County at Large Gives Roosevelt Al
most Double the Vote Re-
ceived by Taft.

Delta county had the Distraction
OF being first in the state to hold
a county primary, and was
one of the few to hold presiden-
tial primary, in which Col. Roose-
welt is shown to have received about
two to one of the votes cast for the
next highest competitor, VIM. How
ard Taft
While this does not decide for the
state or the nation, there is no gain
saying the result cf the p lmaries
in this county; for, according to
their returns, a majority of Delta
county Republicans are for Roose-
welt.
Mr.. Tafts friends insist that
the vote was hardly a fair test, as
many of those who might have fav-
ored Taft did not attend the primar-
les, as proof Be that as it may,
the primaries were held and the
voters were urged to attend and e&
press their preference. By not hav-
ing done so it would seem they have
forfeited their right to expression
of preference, and that, based upon
the result of votes cast by Repub-
licans who did attend, Delta's dele
gation to the state convention will
go instructed for Roosevelt.
What the result will be at the
state convention cannot yet be fore
oil Ha a L
ways been for Roosevelt. He has
carried it at all times and by rous-
ing majorities, and whiel his can
didacy just now does not appeal to
many Republicans who are satisfied
with President Taft and who do not
think it is the Colonels butt-in, it
is doubtful if the characteristic rad
ioalism for which Colorado is noted,
does not prevail to the extent of
carrying the state for Teddy.
The Independent has announced
its position pretty plainly in the
statement that it preferred the re-
nomination of Mr.. Taft as a matter
of political fairness and Justice; but
that it would bow TO the peoples
Will. being satisfied with whoever
was nominated
This view we reiterate. During
President Roos ssvelt's administra-
tions he had no moro enthusiastic
admirers than the writer. During the
administration of President Taft We
have looked with pride upon his
broadness of view, his dignity. JUS
tice, equity and geniality, conclud-
ing that the man who habitually
smiles may be as good in his place
as the one who continuously shows
his teeth.
Four years ago the writer was
so full of enthusiasm for Mr.. Roose-
Welt that he was with the crowd
who wanted to force his nomination
whether he willed it or not. But
he said No" and bit off the word
so insultingly short as to m Ike
even his friends turn pale. The
conditions, We believe. were moro
fairly in his favor then than now
What We wish to impress upon
our readers is the danger that turks
in what may become a too bitter
partisan feeling over the matter. AS
standard bearer, either Col Roose-
welt or President Taft may be safe
ly indorsed by Republicans. Both
are great citizens. and the will of
the majority is not only supposed
TO rule. but to be for the best. There
is no reason why anyone should feel
seriously agrieyed when popular

SEVENTEEN CARS OF PAPER
FOR WRAPPING OUR FRUIT
Orders Are Alread in the Mill for
the Greater Part Of This
Amount.

In conversation with one OF the
when the question at issue was the
great Quantities OF paper used in
America today by New York news
papers and other publications all
over the country, the Independent
reporter was asked if he knew the
amount of paper used in wrapping
the Delta count fruit ach year,
which of course is a small matter
compared with other demands.
The reporter promptly admitted
his lack of knowledge on the point
and was told that if there was a
full crop in the county this year it
would require more than II cars.
and that after the shipping season
there wouldn't be enough left to
make a noticeable bonfire.
Few people realize the amount of
paper that ii takes to fill seventeen
broad guage cars. Great would be
their amazement if they could
that amount OF paper piled up in 2
heap, and still greater would b
their bewilderment if they could
gaze upon the stack OF fruit that is
coming to fill those paper wrappers.
in case of fun crop.
The various associations usually
pool their orders for so many cars
several months in advance OF the
time for shipment so that there
will be no failure on the part of the
mills to have the material on hand.

The delegates were instructed to
urge the candidacy of b. p. Smith
of Delta. as Delegate to the nat

There was considerable sparring
in the convention over Col. Roose-
velt's declaration favoring the re
call of the judiciary, but on motion
that this convention go on record
as in favor of such recall. the mo-
tion carried.
Judge NJ. r. welch was the only
attorney present who proclaimed
himself as being in favor of the re-
call He said he had come to believe
a respect for what the recall might
do, would so influece judges in rem

lean war-horse of Surface Creek. en-
joyed several tilts with the enemy,
and as usual. held his own.
The delegates from Crawford
asked to have representative at
the state convention from their pre-
cinct, but as Crawford was tart
precinct. they were refused. and
with the statement that "if the con
yention wanted to start somehing
1t could hop to it." they left the
convention hall
Alternates were provided to at
tend the state convention in place
of delegates who might not be able
to attend.
The convention refused to name
any person as delegate to the
state convention. even as an III
structed delegate for Roosevelt VINO
was not in favor of and in sym
pathy with Mr.. Roosevelts candi-
dacy. This raised the ire of some
of the Taft Republicans, who used
the phrase, steam roller" quite
frequently.
Except the above little descrepen-
cies, the convention was generally
harmonious and there was a general
inclination to bow to the will of the
majority as expressed at the primar-
les held on Saturday previous.
