The Board declined to Issue
any certificate on the Amend

had no authority to do so. Mayor
G. E. Taylor and City Attorney
Harry Hale of Little Rock ap-
peared before the Board and
urged the members to certify
that the Bond Amendment had
carried, so that an issue could be
made up Immediately to take to
the Supreme Court. Gov, Don
aghey was willing to do this, but
Norwood and Hodges would not

and farmers present and number
of women were among the most in

of the evening was in part respon-
sible for the audience for he was
Prof f. B. House of the State Ag-

OF the Kerseyites as a Greeley high
school boy and later as a most sue
cessful instructor In the State Ag-

"Wtaer Measurement" with which
he is familiar in the most practical
way. He confined his talk to those
things in the line of his subject
most helpful to the Weld county
farmer. telling them the proper
manner of measuring irrigation
water, explaining the terms of
measurement and giving valuable
pointers on how to tell when they
were receiving the water due in
their bitches. The lecture proved so
full OF good hints that 1t was pro-
longed until after 10 O'Clock.
That the kersey club is growing
in interest to all in the district was
shown by the addition of six new
names which swells the enrolment
to a membership of 65. about an

The machine was overwhelmingly
defeated.
In precinct 43 Taft delegation
was elected but was Instructed for
Roosevelt. The vote for Roosevelt
was greater than the votes for the
Roosevelt delegations, indicating
that some Of the tickets did not
meet with the fullest approval Of
the voters.
Fraud Ia being charged by the
stand pAtters, who Allege that demo-
Gratis were allowed to vote for
Roosevelt. They claim that in pre-
cinct ~, known as the court house
precinct, there were many illegal
votes cast. The primary seems to
have widened the gap that exists
between the two factions Of the
party. So few precincts were car

that there will be any contests by
the Taft supporters, as they are 80
hOpelessly beaten that contests
could hardly alter the general re-
suit
Mourners' Bench
Shorn of the attendant music,
eulogy and liturgy. there was
lodge of sorrow held in Greeley
last night. The Glooms were there
in large numbers. but no deep
throated bell tolled the requiem.
only the growls of the malcontents
broke the stiffness in the county as
sessor's Office as the returns from
the republican primaries in Weld
county were received by the faithful
few who hoped against hope that
the gang would win.
But it didn't.
The Great American Citizen had

And when the telephone tangled
merrily it did not spell Joy for the
assembled crowd, because the man
at the other end told of how Teddy
the Terrible had received the most
votes and that the pepole wanted
Roosevelt delegation from prcinct

Big Mac let loose of language
that was almost grues0me. He call

ing at the time, He tried to smile )
but who can smile with death star
ing him in the face? AS winston
Churchill or some other eminent
authority says. he felt guilty as
hel". He tried vainly to switch the
subject to the fine lot of snow there
was on the fall wheat crop, but It
was a fizzle.
Let Out Roar
Big Mac roared, and when he
roars everybody is supposed to be
abated. Hence politeness suggest
ed that the cub reporter abate him
self with the rest.
Even after the abatement was
over things got no better fast IL
seemed as though the telephone
didn't have piece of good news in
it. The sorowful sequence seeped
into the saddened few in alopathic
doses And there was no antidote,
Greeley being a dry town.
Postmaster Gray got out the dope
sheet on the last election and show
ed how the vote of the Roosevelt
followers was two to one better
than Big Mac had ever dreamed of
for Taft P. w Allen pulled his
hat down and wiggled his mustache
as the returns came in. George
Statler grabbed onto Me and
Prosperity attitude and looked as
though his supper had not agreed
with him. He was once news
paper man. which unfortunate Incl
dent in his career may account for
the lack of joy on this occasion.
Other Hopes Blasted
There were others who had hop
ed. but whose hopes were like the
only airship that ever was in Gree
ley They (the hopesl kept on the
ground and were not able to soar.
They were sore, but didn't get into
the air
The county assessor spent the day
in Lupton, his home town, in a
gasping endeavor to throttle the
voice OF the people. His work was
undone by the returns from other
parts of the county.
lsadore Rothschild was there al
SO. but found the last part of his
first name early.
Big Mac relented later in the
evening. along something like mid
night, when the perfidy of the re-
publicans became apparent. He had
it figured out by then that the
preference primary was
a farce and did not show the SEN
timent of Weld county. He said
that democrats had butted in. Then
in a burst OF anguish he spoke
loudly to the effect that If the re-
publicans of Weld county must go
down to defeat. why the dickens
didn't they go down altogether and
not In factions.
No one answered this, but II any
one knows the answer. the Tribune
will be glad to print 1t.
