They're all claiming the glory for
the election of the Citizens ticket
in Denver, but the one man who is de.
serving of the greatest credit is Sen.
Patterson. He organized the Citizen
party and notwithstanding the fact
that the party suffered defeat in the
first battles, he held his army to-
gether, strengthened its ranks, and
finally won the war Whatever else
may be said against the old war
horse, he is admittedly fighter and

Friday morning Daniel Ulrich, the
motorman at the Newhouse tunnel,
was seriously injured by the motor
turning over and pinrirg him under
meath. In this condition he was held
for couple of hours before being
discovered. DR.. John Atcheson was
summoned and went in the tunnel
near the King Bee, and brought him
out. His arm, leg and other parts of
the body were very much bruised and
it was thought his ankle was broken
but it was considerably bruised. 1t
must have been very long and
painful two hours or more to be thus
held without being able to extricate
himself. yet Dan belongs to that
class that endures suffering with all
possible fortitude and patience. At

There is much talk in Denver of
the possibility Of an extra session
of the legislature. First, to pass a
bill making Immediately available
for read building, the $500 900 in the
Internal Improvement fund. also to
elect a United States senator to fill
the vacancy. 1t is claimed that the
legislature If given the opportunity,
will agree upon selection. If this
Is not done, it is urged that the ses-
sion could be called Immediately af-
ter the primary election and the Dem
ccrat who receives the nomination
for the short term, could then be ell
ected. This would insure a Demo

as though Roosevelt will receive the
Republican nomination and Clark the
Democratic. Both Roosevelt and Taft
have been campaigning assiduously
in the eastern states for delegates
and Teddy is besting Taft. Clark
Is attending to his speakership duties
and is not making a personal cam
