PARTS OF PLATFORM ADOPT
ED BY STATE REPUBLICANS

We would particularly emphasiz
the Importance of the principle of a
protective tariff to the farming, min
ing and stock-raising industries of
mand protection for our sugar beet,
wool and zfhc industries
We commend the administration
of President Taft. We believe that
1t exemplifies the spirit of that
true progress that is conductive to
the best interests of the Ameican
people. AS a president he has been
the true exponent of his nation s
highest ideals AS man his charac-
ter is without reproach and worthy
of emulation. He richly deserves a
denomination at the hands of his
party.
I'VE, therefore, in accordance
with the time honored custom of
cur party, most heartily indorse Will
liam Howard Taft for denomination
and pledge ourselves to work earnest
ly and enthusiastically for his re-
election; and to this end our dele
hereby instructed to vote as unit
for the denomination of President
Taft, and to use all honorable means
to bring about such a result
I'VE call the attention of the
people of this state to the faithful
and efficient services that have been
rendered to the stat by Sneator 81
mon Guggenheim. In his work in
the United States sneate he has
been industrious and painstaking
on behalf of the best interests of
the whole state and he deserves the
good will and cordial thanks of every
Republican.
II. H. Devfne in accepting the
Craftsmanship devoted his time to a
discussion of national and state is
sues. The foDgowin are a few ex-
| cerpts from his speech:
Democratic free trade and Colo
RADIO prosperity cannot and will not
| mix
The beet sugar industry, unless
1t can be destroyed, will work the
ruin Of the sugar trust"
For four years now the state of
| Colorado has been subjected to the
most incompetent. fnsincere and dis
honest administration ever exper-
fenced in it's history
President Taft will not stoop to
personal vilification and abuse of his
opponents. Every reference. he
makes to them is a word of praise.
God loves such man"

WANT SIGN BOARDS ERECTED

In preparing county roads fol
summer travel the. erection OF sign
board should not be overlooked
This Is one of the most important
matters to be considered in connec.
ton with the construction OF roads
in the state. The large amount OF
travel over Colorado roads by peo-
pie from the outside makes this nee
essary.
This Is a QUESTION which should
be taken up by the various county
good roads organizations. The mem
'bers themselves. especially thos,
who live in the country, can aid
in this work. This marking will be
needed more than ever this sum mel
because of the new log book now
being prepared and which will show
Colorado roads In a way never be-
fore attempted. r his book will con
tain almost 100 maps of Colorado
roads. and 1t is imperative that the
traveller over these roads should
find markers so that he can, with
out loss Of time and patience, cas-
lily find his way over the state.

John d. Rockefeller expresses the
opinion that in eight years gaso-
line will be so scarce and SO high
that its ordinary use will be prohib-
tive. 1t can be remembered by all
men living today when gasoline
was a mere by-product of petroleum
whose use was regarded as danger
GUS to life and property. Something
else will have to be made to take
its place. Denatured alchohol can
be manufactured from much waste
matter, and this can, in some instan-
ces be used for motive power Ell
ectricity will, of course, come into
much more general use for power
to operate stationary machinery,
and storage batteries may be so i'm
proved as to furnish much of the
moving power for automobiles. In
the line of petroleum itself, there
is no question but that the higher
prices and unsatisfied demand will
stimulate the exploiting of new
fields, and much may depend upon
such development.

GREAT SPRING FLOODS.

Flooded waters of the Mississippi
and Ohio rivers mafhly, but of some
of their upper tributaries as well,
have been doing immense damage
to property and causing some loss OF
life.
Continuous heavy rains to precip-
itated the melting of the great mass.
rs of snow north and west, and the
rise of the streams was almost UNI
rrccedented.
At st. Louis the Mississippi rose
IS feet In "a hours. At Cairo, H.,
Ievees broke and the whole country
became submerged. At points farth-
er down, like Hickman, Kentucky
whole towns were submerged in
to s feet and hundreds of people
were rendered homeless. Property
losses are estimated to run into the
millions.
Presumably the height of the
flood has been reached, and the
waters will begin to recede. In
all the long record of floods along
these rivers, that of the past week
Is said to be the worst known.

The dirty filings against Senator
Guggenheim continue in the Demo-
cratic press over the state and are
none the less virulent because that
gentleman has declared himself not
future candidate. 1t is acknow-
lodged by all that Mr.. Guggenheim
has rendered good service to his
state, yet. If he chooses to come
home to sit in a political conven-
tioh OF his party, every political cur
begins to bark. 1t is not because
they would care or oven dare to
saw offensive things to the face of
Mr.. Guggenheim. but is mainly their
wish to cast approbrium on the
party by saying distasteful things
about the Senator.

OF course there is a possibility that
the big plant at Johnson and Her.

some day. In that case firemen,
reminiscent of many wonderful din

heroic rescues. This theory is some
