The signed statement, furnished to
the local newspapers for publication,
is entitled Politics as the game is
played in Mesa county" and reads as
follows:
To The Daily Sentinel;
There is time when endurance
ceases to be a virtue, and believing
that that time has arrived, | now feel
impelled to state my case to the citi-
zens of Mesa county ! desire to do
no one any personal injury, although
may find it necessary to use some
names, dates and places. | must take
the responsibility for my acts and II
is only fair thar others should dc
the same. l lave never had any
quarrel with the voters of Mesa coun'
ty, either the democrats or republi
cans. | feel very grateful to the in
dependent voters of the county who
helped to give me a majority of 62p
in the last election when | was bit
terly opposed by small gang of ma
chine politicians in the republican
party. | have had to contend with
this opposition for the last -four
years and my only object in writing
this article is to place the responsi!
bility.
My political troubles began in the
spring of 1908 when as delegate to
a republican county convention, | re-
fused to support Mr.. Orson Adams for
delegate to the state convention,
which met that year in Pueblo. 1t
was important to certain republican
statesmen of this county that Mr..
Adams should go as delegate and
my failure to become a cog in the
machine program was sure to spell
political ruin to me, as | was inform
ed by one of the 'i3ig Five" at the
time. | later became candidate for
county superintendent and learned
the full truth of the statement.
Just a few days before the dele
gates to the county convention were
chosen, a "Star Chamber" session of
these self-appointed rulers was held
in the office of prominent attorney
in the old Grand Valley National
Bank building. My opponent for the
nomination was invited to that meet
ing and was promised the support of
the Grand Junction delegation before
they were elected, if he would help
to defeat the Good Citizenship League
in the East Third ward and elect a
delegation of the "Old Guard to the
county convention. He was on the
ground and the work was done as
agreed. And so well did the delega-
tions from the different wards hear
and heed their masters voice" that
between the time of their election
and the county convention, not over
five or six of the Grand Junction del
egates could be pried loose from their
instructions.
For years prior to this time no re-
publican had ever successfully oppos-
ed Mr.. Adams and his associates for
a nomination or election and my
chances of doing so were not worth
betting on. At this critical time a
friend of mine, who saw the lines
about me interviewed DR..
Thad Parker in my behalf.
This is one-half of the dialogue
that followed with DR.. Thad as the
speaker, as it was reported to me:
Now look here. You are going

Ell Paso, Tex, July 5.-Today's
movements of the rebels indicate
that the organized revolutionary
movement in Mexico is over.
Five troop trains bore the re-
treating insurrectos from the
vicinity of Chihuahua to Juarez
and before the day was over it
was said that most of the rebels
would be sent southwest from
Juarez, rs miles to Casas Gran
des. from where they intended to
enter the rich mining state of
Sonora.
Having abandoned chihuahua to
the federals the rebels destroyed all
the bridges between Bachimba and
Sauez, so miles north of Chihuahua.
General Orozco spent the night at
Sauez, but was expected in Juarez
today to direct the movements of the
various bands into which the rebel
army is now disintegrating.
Juarez. at present, is the rebel cap
itol, trainloads of archives having
been sent there within the last three
days.
The government is moving four
thousand men from Aqua Prieta to

From statistics compiled by the pos,
