Denver. Apr 3.-Former United
States Senator Henry NJ. Teller, rec
ognized for 80 years as one of the
leading public men of the west, has
come out emphatically for Champ
Clark for the presidency.
Champ Clark is my candidate for
President" declared former Senator
Henry NJ. Teller. Should Roosevelt
he elected again, it would mean
nothing more or less than one-man
government That is not what this
country needs. We might just as
well make Roosevelt dictator for life
as to give him the presidency again.

chance Nor has Taft. Champ Clark
will be the next President.
Il have known Clark for many
years and | admire him greatly. He
/. is man of sterling qualities and will
make an excellent President. ! be-
lieve that no other man could have
been chosen by the Democrats who
has as much executive ability, com
bined with honesty, as has Champ
Clark.
Il say frankly that | am not a
Roosevelt man, and ] believe that it
would go hard with the country If
he succeeds in becoming President.
Congress cannot cope with him.

frost tonight, while, in all probable
tiles. peaches in the lower end of
the valley will be safe.
Referring to the apple chart. we
find in Black Twigs the bud is sepa-
rating and temperature below 20

varieties of pears are about to show
the pink and their condition is such
that they would stand possibly % or
23 degrees above zero tonight.
We desire TO call the attention of
the growers to the fact that buds
are coming on very rapidly and ii
will be few days only when both
peaches and apples will be in the
condition shown in the center of
these tables and, therefore. all
smudging equipments should be in
the orchards at the earliest possible
date, and preparations made consci-
entious1y with the purpose of meet
ing, If possible, the worst condition
that we need expect A temperature
tonight of % above zero in the or
chards will destroy the apricot crop
and will prove damaging to any
variety of peaches that is about to
