CHANGE IN POLICY.

Both the Republican and the Demo-
cratic press of the state seem to be
very much worked up over resent
statement made by the Denver Re-
publican, the chief Republicaa paper
Of the state.
For years the Republican has been
one of the most conservative and ma
chine controlled of the Republican pa-
pers in Colorado, but recently
change has been made and the edi-
torials have different sound sound
more like the Pueblo Chieftian once
had.
The Republican comes out squarely
for Taft but at the same time says
it will not support machine made
stands just what is meant by this
statement. Not every one knows
what the Republican considers a ma
chine made ticket. Some have one
idea about who is a machine candi-
date and others have another idea.
Although we are in doubt as to
what the Republican intends to do it
is sufficiently clear that it has gone
on record as not willing to stand
for machine politics. This is such a
departure that an announcement OF
this kind is naturally expected to
bring many Colorado people to their
feet to ask what has happened. II
is a shock that may be extensive
when it somes to results. 1t may near
much to the Colorado people.

ROOSEVELT AT PROVIDENCE

Mr.. Roosevelt opened the campaign
in Rhode Island and it is reported
that he received hearty welcome. He
stated that he desired to begin his
campaign in the worst boss ridden
state in the union.
He insisted that the movement was
permanent and that the only influ-
ence he had in the movement was to
hasten it two or three years. He
stated that the movement was going
on just as sure as fate and regardless
of what he should say or do.
He told his listeners that instead
of becoming less radical that he was
inclined to become more radical as
the campaign advanced. He said he
was ready to go further than the
platform.
He declred that the people could
hope for nothing in the way of re-
form from either of the old parties,
that the progressive movement is
aimed at rotten machines and rotten
boss system, controlling both old par
ties.
He further claimed that the people
who are leading the new party are
not wealthy people and are not poll
ticians but are the common people who
are to be their own masters and who
heretofore have had to pay the price
of admission to the POLITICAL game
and then take seat in the bleachers
and watch the politicians do the rest.

the working out of the direct primary

DIRECT PRIMARIES WELL AT
TENDED.

A careful survey of the vote in
those states using the direct primary
system reveals the fact that the Re-
publican primary vote ranged from
80 per cent to almost 100 per cent of
the Republican vote as shown in the
national election four years ago.
In few states the primary vote
was even higher than the regular
vote four years ago. This happen

VOTE FOR THE CHARTER.

For some time the interest of the
people has been centered in national,
state and county politics and to a
large extent all other matters of pub
lie interest have been more or less
neglected.
However, the people of Durango
should not let national, state or
county politics cause them to lose
sight of and interest in the coming
charter election. On Tuesday, the
third day of September, the people of
Durango will meet at the various
polling places to determine a mat
ter much more important to our peo-
pie that national politics. The Du-
range people have gone to consider
able expense to prepare charter to
be submitted to the voters for their
rejection or approval.
1t is barely possible that in times
of political excitement the people
overlook those matters close to them.
The things far away are more en-
chanting although quite often not
more valuable. There is nothing
more valuable at this time to Du-
range people than the adoption Of
the proposed charter. Let every
man and woman be registered ard
go to the polls on September 3 al d
put in a vote in favor of the charter,
so that we can get this matter off
our hands and in due course of time
proceed to organize under It's pro-
visions and be governmcd by char
ter rather than by the general law
as we are now.

strumental in late years in achiev-
ing victory for the Democratic par
ty. He has many friends in the state
who would like To see him in the
United States senate. When running
fdr the office Of governor he has al
ways been able to get the assistance
of considerable number Of Repub-
licans.
Adams has been governor Of Colo
RADIO two terms and was very popu-
lar with his party. He was for a
third and fourth time called upon by
his party to be its candidate for gov
ernor when the Republicans claimed
the victory. Adams went down to
defeat under such peculiar circum-
stances that his party felt that if
there is anything in could do for him
it should be done.
When the contest was made in the
last legislature Adams was support
ed by the progressive Democrats of
the state and Speer was assisted by
the machine end of the party. An
agreement could not be reached and
no senator was elected to fill the va
cancy caused by the death of Sena-
tor Hughes.
Shafroth supported Adams as
against Speer for the short term At
the same time it was conceded that
he would be a candidate for the long
term to succeed Guggenheim. Condi-
tions have changed scince the last
legislature was in session and now
both Adams and Shafroth are in the
race for the long term. Adams and
Sbafroth have always been friendly.
Adams and Speer have no occasion
to oppose each except for the sena-
torship. This contest did not cause
extreme bitterness. Speer and Shat
roth have always been at swords
points with each other, trying to
control Denver in which contest Speer
usually won.
Speer, owning to the overthrow Of
the Denver machine last spring, has
dropped out of politics so far as the
senatorship is concerned He had nc
use for Shafroth and not very much
for Adams, but it is claimed that
as choice between the two he will
support Adams as against his perpet-
ual political enemy, Shafr6th, who
has always been supported by Tom
Patterson, who is life long enemy
of Bob Speer.
With these conditi ms existing the
| contest between Adams and Shafroth
has aroused much interest in all parts
of the state among .he Democrats
Even the Republicans take casual
interest in the matter and will watch
with some curiosity the results of the
primary as to these two candidates.
1t is quite certain that Adams will
carry Denver, Pueblo an dthe south
ern part of the state by large ma
jorities. The southe.,1 part of the
state will vote largely for Ada ms fol-
two reasons. First, the Democrats
in the southern part of the state have
always been for Adams. Second, i,
has been many years since the south.
ern part of the state has been rep.
resented in the United States senate
by man fro mthat locality.
The Democrats over the state claim
for these reasons that Adams will
easily win the Democratic primaries
and will be the candidate of his par.
ty for the long term for senator
However, the Shafroth supporters in.
sist that their man should win al
the primaries.
