Mr.. Arthur Donnell,
EdgeWater, Colo.
Dear Brother Donnell:-
When l met you on the street
today and you asked me what
thot of Judge Mccall and | re
piled, Rotten" you may have
thot l was somewhat prejudicec
against the good man, so | write
explaining myself a little further.
In the first place, Bro. Donnell,
despise a hyprocrite above al
other creatures that walk the
face Of the earth, and look upon
Judge Mccall as an arrogant
hypocrite, hence you may see
why my answer to your question
and l desire to give a reason for
my opinion of the Honorable
Judge"
When l was pastor of the M.
E. church of Arvada | had some
little trouble with a certain ele-
ment there, who insisted on sell
ing booze" and would not quit.
Judge Mccall sent for me to
come to his office at Golden, a
few weeks before Christmas.
Now" he said, II want you to
get some good points against that
club and l will prosecute the
same. - He said, Just before
Christmas time they. will be do
ing a good business and it will be
a good time to catch them !
said, "All right, tell me how to
proceed" He said, "Get a de-
tective and get certain evidence
telling me what he wanted. | at
once proceeded to do as the Hon
orable () Judge told me to do.
I got the evidence and took the
same to him and he said it was
all right and that he would pull
them. Time passed and no ar
rests and | asked him why.
WELL" he said, Il have heard
something-that certain whiskey
men have said that if l do not
let up on the fight they will do
me up at the next election, but, "
he said, Il will pull them" and
so the case was set and the pre-
liminary work came before him
and he threw the whole case out
of court on the grounds of not
sufficient evidence, when | got
the evidence just as he told me
to do. Everything was worked
up according to his instructions.
l was on the streets of Arvada
and when passing Mr.. Johns
store, Hon. Mr.. Barnes Of Golden
was standing there and he re-
marked to me, We'll, Judge Nc,
Call threw your case out OF
court" J replied, "If that be
true, any whiskey case is safe
before the man." And the Hon.
Gentlemen proceeded to tell the
Honorable (?) Judge what | sale
and he at ordered the sheriff tc
arrest me for contempt Of court
and instructed the sheriff to bring
me dead or alive. So the sheriff
had to act. And when he came
to make the arrest, all of the
whiskey buns of Arvada were
congregated in front Of the John,
grocery to see the Preacher
get taken in, showing that it was
a scheme gotten up by the crowd
When we got to Golden the sher,
iff took the Judge into his priv
ate room and begged him to droE
the case, telling him that it was
gotten up by the whiskey crowt
and to have nothing to do witt
it. But he would not listen.
Well, he called me out before
him in his court and delivered ;

Bank hall Tuesday night to NOM

Davis Sd. !
Mr.. Davis had told so many of
the voters that he positively would
not accept the position if nomin-
ated that many Of them did not
vote for him on that account.
10. N. Evans also asked that his

separately, the first nominated

A. Brandon and T. S. Sutton a
committee on vacancies.
The voting this year was differ
ent from the meeting last year.
The voters marched up to the
table, deposited their ballot and

journed Mr.. Campbell was elected
permanent chairman Of the organ
ization and Horace Reno read a

vacancies to decide as to whether
there would be an election held
or just let the old member Of the
board resign and the board APP
point the newly elected member
in his place, the rest Of the board
holding over for another year.
The committee agreed that there
should be no election provided

fore fifteen days before the cleo
tion date and the board would APP
point Mr.. Campbell to fill the va
cancy. All Of which was agreed
to by the board and Mr.. Reno.

MARINES TO SANTO DOMINGO
Armed Force Sent There to Protect
Customs Houses.

A force of $50 marines was sent to
Santo Domingo to protect the customs
houses there. President Taft approved
the navy department plan of sending
an armed detachment into Santo Do
mingo to prevent interference with the
customs receivership, which has been
administered for the last several years
by the United States.
The marines were drawn from the
Atlantic coast stations and sailed from
Philadelphia on the transport Prairie.
There has been a smoldering revolj-
tionary movement in Santo Domingo
for more than a year, although there
has been no actual assault upon any
Of the American customs houses. The
gunboat Wheeling which has been
stationed in the West Indies Tor
months, has heretofore been sufficient
to protect the customs houses located
in the coast towns. Recently, how
ever, the revolutionary activity has
been increasing and the interior Gus
toms houses on the mountainous
border between Hayti and Santo Do
mingo have been threatened.
In addition to the revolutionary
activity there has been more or less
smuggling across the border between
Santo Domingo and Hayti and about
year ago several American customs
officials were killed in clash with
the smngglers.

ORANGEMEN SIGN COVENANT
Men of Ulster Bid Defiance to Irish
Home Rule.

The anti-home rule covenant pledg'
ing its signers not to recognize an
Irish parliament to pay its taxes nor
to obey its laws received the sigma
lures of Ulster Orangemen by the
thousands last Saturday.
In expectation of rioting troops
we're quartered in Belfast but were
not needed. Religious services pre-
ceded the signing Of the covenant and
services of a similar nature were held
in many churches throughout Ulster.
Sir Edward Carson, who has an
nounced his willingness to stand at the
forefront of the battle until victory is
won-however fought out-was the
dominant figure of the day.

PARADE BROKEN !
UP BY POLICE
Big Fight in Lawrence; Two
Officers Stabbed
cops MACE SEVERAL OF MOB

Industrial Workers of the World Pre-
vented From Marching to Cemetery
to Decorate Strike Victims Graves.
Police and paraders fought with
knives and clubs at Lawrence, Mass,
prior to a demonstration by members
of the Industrial Workers of the
World.
Two officers were stabbed, a num-
Der Of demonstrators were dubbed
and a labor leader captured after a
hard fight and then freed Two ar.
rests were made. One shot was fired
from the ranks of the paraders.
Carlo Tresca, an organizer Of the
Industrial Workers, was in custody
but gained his freedom a minute or
two later Persons who saw Tresca's
arrest said he was rescued by COM
rades. Tresca, with smile said the
police let him go.
The clash was unexpected More
than 5000 operatives met in the rail-
road station to welcome 700 members
of the Industrial Workers Of the
World who had come from Boston to
participate in a parade to the graves
Of Anna Lopizzo and Johnny RAINY,
who were killed during the strike riots
in January. After the visitors had de-
trained an impromptu parade was
started, finally turning into Essex
street
When the head of the parade
reached Essex street a line Of officers
halted it and an argument began. The
police notified the marchers that they
must disperse because they had no
permit. Those in the front rank were
endeavoring to fall back when sudden
ly the marchers in the rear pressed
forward and the mill workers tried TO
pass the police
They struck right and left at the Of
ficers, who responded by swinging
their clubs. Many paraders were
knocked bleeding to the ground. In
some instances the marchers robbed
the officers of their clubs and began
to beat the police The latter were
forced to retreat into Lawrence street.
1t was here that Tresca was seized by
the officers, who started with him to-
ward the police station.
Angered by the arrest of their leader
the crowd made a rush for the police,
who appeared to be fighting to hold
the prisoner but a moment or two
later Tresca was at liberty.
During the fight two Italians were
arrested and taken to the station
house As they were being taken
through the door of the station re-
volver shot was heard. 1t appeared to
have been fired by someone in the
crowd.
Later the crowd was driven onto the
common, where the paraders dis
persed.
After the excitement was over Po-
liceman Thomas Mccarthy discovered
that he had been cut on the head and
had also received a slight stab wound
behind the ear Another policeman,
whose name was withheld, received
two slight stab wounds in the back.

Scranton and Cheer Wilson.

scranton ana Cneer WILSON,
The fight for progressive Democracy
in Pennsylvania was formally begun
in Scranton Monday with inspiring
declarations from Governor Woodrow
Wilson, the presidential nominee, and
the six state candidates. The pro-
ceedings started with the notification
and acceptance by the state candi'
dates and ended in a demonstration
for Governor Wilson.
That the Democratic party in the
state and nation, purged in the heat
of sixteen years Of constant battle, of
reactionary and un-Democratic ele-
ments and ideals, today was the only
instrument for restoring government
to the people and for reviving the
equality of opportunity, to which the
nation was pledged in the beginning
this was the keynote.

WHY DISTURB
CONDITIONS?
President Asks, COnt9nding That
Prosperity Is Here
ROOSEVELT NEAR END OF TRIP
Colonel viii Have Visited Twenty
Seven States When He Arrives
Home in Oyster Bay Wednesday,


Seven States When He Arrives
Home in Oyster Bay Wednesday,
Asked for an interview on the pres.
ent political situation President Taft
said in part:
"a chief issue of the most immedi'
ate Importance in this campaign in
my opinion is whether we shall allow
prosperity to remain and expand or
whether we shall halt it by our politi'
cal election.
"And prosperity is here. Evidences
of industrial activity are abundant.
Commerce has grown by leaps and
bounds. The great transportation sys-
tens of the country are hard pressed
to move the myriads of products that
enter into interstate commerce. The
activities OF the financial institutions
that furnish the funds for the success
full raising of various branches of busi-
ness has never been so extensive. The
workingman and mechanic has never
been before so well and steadily EN-
ployed nor so well paid"
The president declares that the de-
mand for labor is greatly in excess OF
the supply and asks who would dis
turb these conditions. He declares
that the only one danger that menaces
prosperity is the putting the Demo-
Gratis completely in control of all
branches of the government. He con
cludes:
Let us cultivate prosperity by
maintaining our present economic
business basis and by the encourage.
ment Of business expansion and
progress through legitimate use of
capital"
