Batcheldors hold upon the Roosevelt
ladder broke loose. He was shocked
at the discovery that Roosevelt put
his own personal interests ahead o.
everything else, and on thinking TIE
situation over, he wrote as follows to
the Colonel:

in 1898. For fourteen years l have
felt more affection for you than for
any other person on earth, except the
members of my own immediate fam.

With grief, the depth of which you
cannot know, have decided, after
one of the hardest fights | have ever
been forced to put up, that cannot
longer support you for President of
the United States.
That is a right manly letter, and
Mr.. Batcheldor's reasons for writing
II must stand fully approved. Mr..
Batcheldor prefaced his declaration
as made above by saying:

the real rule OF the people and

1t is plain that Colonel Roosevelt
by his arrogant selfishness forced tn
enunciation of the political friend

THE INCREASED
LEVY.

The increased levy for Logan City
next year is reported to be one mill.
This will bring into the city treas
ury, according to the City Commits
sioners about $4,000 more money that
tie previous levy. Just a moments
work with the pencil reveals the fact
that this sum will not pay the in
crease in salaries. According to fig

ministration of Mayor Anderson W, G

is S1,273.29 per month, or an N.

Mr.. Hearst continues in his strain:

perhaps more reasonable to suppose
that the News does not anticipate the

THE STEAM
ROLLER.

Pocatello Tribune: Speaking of
steam rollers, the one actively in use
at the convention of the Progressive
party held at Helena on Monday needs
no handicap in a contest with any
steam roller which may have been in
use in Chicago or anywhere else on
earth. At Helena the steam roller
was the whole thing. Progressives
from Silver Bow county we - shut out
of the convention and even denied
the privilege OF explaining their pc
sition on the floor, although the call
for the convent on reads, All progress

they could not look after Speaker

During the Parsons visit he read

admitted that he was beaten. Mr..
Simpkin returned to Salt Lake Sat
