publican national convention can only
be answered by holding up the latest
presidential preference primary law. BY
the law every voter was compelled to
mark each delegate-at large, there be-
ing no circle voting on groups. This en-
ahled hundreds of voters to mark the
eight names in the delegation headed by
Baxter For Roosevelt and then ex-
press their preference for Taft on an
other part of the ballot. II is expect
ed that the Roosevelt delegates who ap-
peared on the ballot as For Theodore
Roosevelt" will carry out such instruc-
tions and disregard Tafts preferential
majority.
The result in the fourteen congress
sional districts gave Roosevelt ten dele
gates and Taft eighteen.
In both the Republican and Demo-
cratic camps, the candidates who won
the presidential preference contest failed
to secure the delegates at large, owing
to an Unforeseen turn in the primary
law. The eight delega ties at large sup
porting the Roosevelt candidacy were
victorious, in spite OF the fact that Taft
won the presidential preference; and
the Democratic preference favorte,
Speaker Clark, failed to secure a single
delegate large this important depart
ment of the primary being captured by
the friends of Governor FOss. whose
name did not appear on the preferential
ballot.
The preferential race between Taft
and Roosevelt was a neck and neck af-
fair throughout. During the campaign
political writers paid considerable at
tention to the candidacy of Frank Sci
berlich, a former senator, who was
pledged to Taft and whose name ap-
peared on the ballot between the Taft
and the Roosevelt delegates-at- large
Reports from many voting places are
to the effect that many ballots were
iGvalidated because nine names were
marked instead of eight. The managers
OF the Taft campaign claim that hun
drcds of their supporters We're disfran-
chised by voting for Seiberlich and the
eight delegates5at large, whose names
appeared directly under Seiberlich's
name.
Taft Carried Boston.
President Taft carried Boston bv
about 600 votes, but the eastern towns.
including many of the Cape Cod and
Plymouth districts, lined up strong for
Roosevelt. while the central portion was
evenly split.
Complete returns from the city Of

Thus spoke rich rancher of Mont
rose county to officials and workmen
of the federal reclamation service
who had gone on his land against
his orders to start work on the
West canal which had been tempor-
arily halted by an injunction of the
district court of the county, says the
Denver Post.
The rancher started off to get his
gun to carry into effect his order.
The ditch diggers and the federal
iignitaries wrote last wills and tes-
taments on cuffs and their daily dope
sheets and prepared to be stood up
and shot one by one when the ranch
er came back.
Federal injunctions frequently
change mems views. The one issued
by Federal Judge Trieber had its
effect on the rancher. He bumped
right into deputy United States
marshal on his way to his home
to get his gun. The injunction nam
ed him and restrained him from In
any wist interfering with federal Of
ficers and ditch diggers who were
cutting through his orchard. He
stopped his war talk at once
The news of the serving of the
injunction has spread over the 1000
acres involved and along the line OF
the West canal for some 90 miles
and now the federal officers no lon
ger fear an armed clash.

to me beyond a doubt the wisdom of
the first mountain-water system as

Grand Junction. This system. you
will recall, contemplated watering
Palisade and the valley between Pal
isade and Grand Junction; also

The crome was the most brutal in
the history of La Plata county. The
murdered mans head was split open
while he slept, his brains being spill
ed all over the bed and room.
The motive is alleged to have
been infatuation over the slain mans
wife. who is the mother of five small
children. The wife of the murdered
man said her husband had been in
jured by horse and had died from
the effects of the wounds. Circum-
stances surrounding the death arous-
ed suspicious, SO yesterda yafternoon
Sheriff McCluer, Coroner Hood and
District Attorney Lane went to the
Salabar ranch near Ignacio, the scene
of the murder.
An examination showed that At
tencio could not have been injured
by horse and foul play was sus-
pected. Garcia was known to have
been a caller at the Attencio home.
The wife of Attencio is alleged to
have charged that Garcia had mur-
dered her husband at midnight as
he lay in bed.
The woman said Garcia had used a
double-edged ak and with the sharp
edge had committed the crime.
