SPEAKER
Of HOUSE
IS HERE
HON. CHAMP CLARK FINDS HIM.
SELF GUEST OF ELKS BEFORE
MAKING HIS ADDRESS AT THE
STERLING THEATER

Life in the west is pretty strenu-
Gus for Hon. Champ Clark, speaker
of the house of representatives, who
is in Greeley today on his campaign
tour of the west. The strain is be-
ginning to tell on the veteran states
man, but he found it difficult to
find any much needed rest in Gree
ley.
A great crowd assembled this
afternoon at the Sterling theatre.
where the distinguished Missourian
talked for more than an hour, his
remarks being listened to with rapt
attention.
County Chairman Reynolds Of the
Democratic Central committee met
Mr.. Clark at the train. l.. C. Hick-
man, an old friend of the speakers,
came up with him from Denver this
morning. Several hundred people
at the depot cheered vociferously as
| the near president appeared and the
Greeley band lent musical greeting
to the occasion.
In short auto ride about the city
stop was made at the State Teach
ers college where Mr.. Clark made q
short talk to the students in chapel.
! He dwelt upon the educational fea-
ture of politics and of the necessity
of each voter studying the power Of
the ballot and what it represents IN
our national life.
There was no rest for the weary,
however, and no sooner had Mr..
Clark gone to his room at the Cam
field, after leaving instructions not
to be disturbed on any account, than
he was taken to the Elks building to
attend the dedicatory ceremonies.

ANNUAL MEETING OF FOUND

PROGRAM INTERESTING

The largest gathering OF Union
Colony Pioneers in the history of
the organization sat down to dinner
in the basement OF the Congrega-
tional church at 12: 40 today at the
annual banquet of the old folks.
Covers were laid for $50, and every
place was occupied.
In an out-of-the-way corner of
the spacious church parlor 15-
year-old lad found himself this
morning. He was representing
Grandpa, who couldn't come, and
this was his first attendance at
Pioneers banquet. This lad was
the lonesomest boy in Greeley All
around him were men and women.
grey-haired for the most part, and
many feeble with the weight of
years. In all that multitude he
was the only boy. The folks about
him didn't notice him, nor pay any
attention yet they acted like the
boys and girls of his own age.

Lots Of the things they told
didn't seem possible to the Lone

when there were no trees in Gree

the little fringe OF cottonwoods

You had to ride horseback or walk.
and then 1t took him long time
to get to your house, because there
were no automobiles.
Then these folks told some fear
fully big stories about grasshoppers,
which they said were so thick that
thoy ate all the bark of the small
or trees along the river, and ate up
every bit of the gardens, and all
the grain. And sometimes the
prairie grass would catch fire and
burn for miles and miles. and then
there was nothing for the stock 10
eat. And sometimes the chickens
and livestock would get in the way
OF the fire, and get burned up, and
some of the folks nearly got burned
up, too. Yet they must have had
pretty good times. for they talked
about parties and lyceums ana

Kansas City Journal: After all
their persistent laudation of the pri-
mary as an instrument to register the
"will of the people" the Roosevelt
managers now confess that the pri-
mary system as utilized in the nomin-
alton OF party candidates is fraud.
Ever since the colonel threw his hat
into the ring he has been bowling for
primaries. He said that this was the
only way the Roosevelt strength could
be correctly measured and that any
other method of nomination. would
mean "dsfranchisement" of republi.
can voters.
In North Dakota there was held
statewide legal primary on Tuesday.
1t was Just the sort of primary that
the Roosevelt managers have been so
noisily demanding all along. But the
result of that primary made the
Roosevelt managers sick. They claim
in loud and complaining tones that
the democrats voted in the republican
primaries and thus gave the state to
LaFollette. Here is the formal state
ment issued by John S. Bass. mana.
ger of the Roosevelt campaign i'm
North Dakota:
"Our reports indicate that practi-
cally all the democrats have voted
for LaFollette, and this has run up
the early returns for him in the east
ern and valley section of the state,
where LaFollette is running ahead
about two to one. Our later returns
from the western slope indicate that
country is generally for Roosevelt
two to one. If the democrats had
stayed out of the republican primary
there is no question that Roosevelt
would have Won"
AS a specific demonstration of the
truth of the republican contention
| that the primary is a fraud and fail.
! ure, this confession from Roosevelt
own manager on the ground is con
| elusive, Wherever the primary has
been tried it has been conducive to
dishonesty and Illegally. This is the
sort of thing that Stubs in Kansas
has been demanding and that Roose-
welt himself has ZeaOusly insisted
| upon. But it has worked just as The
Journal and Taft supporters general
| ly have said it would, only in the
| North Dakota instance LaFollette was
| the beneficiary and Roosevelt lost
| Had Roosevelt received the demo
| cratic votes-as he would have done
in Kansas and elsewhere-his man
! ayers would have had no complaint
