Edward keating whose picture APP

man from this, the third congression-
al district. Mr.. Keating is again a
candidate for election and by his
ever faithful work in assisting the
administration in its arduous duties
and remaining steadfast to the pied

ection, is not only entitled to every
Democratic vote in the district, but
those who should be thankful that
We have a man at the head of our
government whose sanity has preser-
we'd our nations peace when nearly
all the world is at war.
Mr.. Keating has not only devoted
his time and energies to the upbuild-

to the principles espoused by one of
the brightest minds that ever sat in
the national chair of state. MIR.

Charles H. Leckenby, the Demo
cratic candidate for state auditor.
should receive tie unanimous vote
of every mountain county in the
state. Nearly a quarter century ago,
this man Of ability, in the vigor of
his early manhood. penetrated the
then wilds of Routt county and es-
tablished a newspaper at Steamboat
Springs and from small beginnings
has not only brought his paper to
the front as one of the most tidy and
influential journals of the state, but
its great influence has created and
peopled an empire that is a veritable
treasure vault in coal and agricultur-
al products. Put an X opposite the
name of Charles H, Leckenby on your
ticket and you will make no mistake.

The only remaining mouthpiece of
the c. F. & l. company in the state,
located in the 'Pittsburg of the
West" has a tail that is issued from
remote western slope fruit planta-
tion which is smarting under the
thought of the sure election of Sen
ator Patterson as governor and in
dulges in a TRADE of abuse of the
ex-senator. This biped of the hom-
me-de-paille species, to all appear
ances, is so wrought UP over the
vortex of progression that has SO
completely enveloped the G. o. P,
its very memory has been submerged
beneath the political waves of free
dom and completely removed for all
time from the nostrils of future gen
erations, the stencil of iniquity. This
wise philosopher who seems to boast
of his quinonperficit, is so deeply inn
bued with his egotism, he carries it
beyond the pale of common propriety
and exposes himself to the scorn
and contempt of his fellow man. SEN
ator Patterson is a brilliant man, a
statesman and a scholar, and recre-
ant mouthings of his interiors will be
of little avail.

PATTERSON NEXT GOVERNOR

T. NJ. Patterson will be the next
governor of Colorado. for several
reasons. First, like Woodrow Will
son, the people know that with Mr..
Patterson in the chair of state, We
have a man who is safe and sane,
and understands how to pour oil up
on troubled waters and calm the an
CRY waves of discomfort emanating
from the few malcontents who per-
sist in chnging to the rigging of
that old political ship, who like the
U. S. frigate, Constitution, have
served their day and are now sink
ing in the dim mysteries of the past.
And secondly, he brings to the office
a ripe experience of successful
craftsmanship, combined with a
thorough knowledge of the wants of
the commonwealth he will govern
For many years, as chief editor of
the greatest daily newspaper Colo.
rado ever had, he lent his columns
to the securing of justice as between
the wage Garner and corporations,
and woe betide the faker who at
tempted to foist upon the innocent
and animated investor, their fake
mining and land schemes. The peo.
pie. have implicit confidence in his
integrity and ability, and the SIAN
derous tongues of infamy will not
deviate him from his righteous path.
In days long past, 1t was contend
ed by the members of that fast fad.
ing party. that Senator Patterson and
the Democratic party stood for
everything that was in opposition to
the principles of this great republic
For years Senator Patterson battled
for the right as he saw It, through
the columns of his mighty press, and
although overwhelmed at first by
hostile corporation power, his inces
sant bombardment gradually penetra'
ed TO their innermost citadels ant
exposed their nefarious secret work
ings to tie gaze of the voter of the
state.
One by one he gathered the people
to his standard, until at last the,
called upon him. as the ancients call
ed upon Moses, to lead them out o
the wilderness and to be their stand
ard bearer. to guide them safely ou
of the thraldom into which the cor
porations had plunged them. Sena
tor Patterson is endowed with brains
and diplomacy. and as President WI
son (the far.se eing statesman) hai
safely guided our national shil
through troubled breakers, even 81
will Senator Patterson guide our shiI
o. state into peaceful waters.

WE ARE FORTUNATE

When we read of the great devas-
taking place in Europe, brought about
by monarchial governments thirst
for avarice and power, we marvel at
it all, and should offer up prayer
republican form of government,
where the people control the destin-
les of the nation instead of alloting
it to the power Of the single indiv-
idllal.
When our Pilgrim fathers landed
on that desolate and rock-bound
shore, in the midst of a cold and
cheerless winter month, and endured
all the hardships incident to new
land, that they might obtain free
dom of speech and thought, their OBJ
ject was satiated- They had fled
from despotic and relentless mon
archial government to establish in
the wilds of this new world, gov
eminent ''of the people, for the peo-
pie, and by the people," whereby
they could not only worship in their
own peculiar way, but wrest civiliza-
tion from the cruel fangs of barbar-
ism and place it uron more ele-
waited plane.
We read with horror of the atroci-
ties of Nero two thousand years ago,
but the scenes that are at present
being enacted upon the bloody bat
tlefields of Europe in the dawn of
the twentieth century, make Nero's
acts pale into insignificance, and es-
tablish the fact that as long as mon
archy reigns, the world will be steep
ed in cruelty and darkness, and ad-
vancement along other and more hu-
name lines rendered impossible.

FOREIGN BUSINESS INCREASING

Foreign business now coming to
this country in the shape of large
orders. for army supplies, will mean
that our factories VIII be taxed to
their limit to meet the demand.
Foreign agents are now in this
country placing orders for shoes
and leather, and large orders are al
so being placed for automobile trucks
for the French and Russian govern
ments. The trade that has now set
in will not end with the close of the
war, but will increase more largely
as Europe rehabilitates her devastat-
ed country. Tie underwear mills OF
the east, many of which were closed
on account of slack business, are
running on full time to satisfy the
foreign demand.
The sweater-coat manufacturers
have received orders from the French
and English governments for 100000
garments, while orders have already
been placed for 10000 dozen sheets,
and pending orders for 10000 dozen
additional. I'll statements Of the
New York custom house show that
$40 ,032, 1872 worth of goods were ex-
ported last week as against S16,S1O,,
$50 for the corresponding week in
1913.
Capitalists from the east are now
in Colorado seeking pCCd mining in
vestment for tleir idle capital, and
if any should be fortunate enough to
come to Gilpin county, it behooves
us to treat them with consideration
and not attempt to kill the goose
that lays the golden egg"
Gilpin observer., 1914-10-22

Germany, France and England are
offering a premium on gold. Now is
the appointed time when all our idle
gold mines should be placed in shape
and work diligently prosecuted, and
the possessor of idle capital who is

THE INDEPENDENTS.

Without seeking to unduly con-
denim the republicans of this section,
although we have no particular word
Of cheer for them, we want to COM
mend the honest, conscientious indie
pendent democrats who were unable
to see the light of true democracy IN
the campaign that closed yesterday.
They maintained themselves with dig
nifty and fought the battle fairly for
what they conceived to be the right
We believe they were wrong. We be-
ueye that when they understand that
the democratic party is better
friend to the principles for which
they stand than the time serving re-
publican party is, they will be as
quick to reunite with the democratic
organization as they were to sever
their connection with it.
We should not gloat over them nor
would we seek to embarrass or an
ger them with impolite jibes or petty
criticisms. A victor who cannot be
broad minded and magnanimous can
not fully enjoy the sweet rewards OF
victory.-Jackson Sun.

cANNoN's COME BACK.

While there were entirely too many
republicans elected to the next house
of Representatives to suit US, we can
not deny some satisfaction over the
reelection of Uncle joe Cannon.
He is the most picturesque and one
of the most loveable characters in the
public life of the country. He is, too,
man of ability, patriotism and hon
esty and has had more legislative ex-
perience than any other member of
congress. He holds the record for
long service in the great American
house of commons.
For forty-two years the republi-
cans of the Danville, Illinois, dist
trict have been voting for Joe Can
non. Twice only during that time
has he carried the banner of his party
to defeat Twenty times he has been
elected to the house. His first cleo
ton was in 1872. For eighteen years
he served the district. Then in the
great tidal wave of 1890 he was swept
out to return two years later for an
other official tenure of twenty years.
Two years ago, because of republican
division he was defeated by demo
crat of the name of OHair whose
sole claim to fame will lie in the
fact that he beat Joe Cannon. At
the expiration of the term to which
he has been elected Cannon will have
served forty years in the house and
will be over eighty years of age.
During large part of his congress
sional career Cannon was either a
member of or the chairman of the
appropriations committee. And yet
so clean and honest was his record
that the finger of suspicion has never
been pointed toward him. He is an
intense republican, is so brazen in
his republicanism that he is proud of
it. He is what might we'll be term
ed a reactionary, but he is frank,
open and honest. Every one knows
straight from Cannon what he be-
lieves. He speaks from the heart
and has the respect of his political
opponents in congress.

OMAHA, Neb, Nov. 11.-There was
every indication tonight that the Ma.

Baseball Clubs, in convention here,
would declare unanimously in favor
of remaining under the national
agreement. The Central league, al
ready has pledged itself to that poll.
cy.
Nearly 300 delegates to the conven.
ton which will open tomorrow are
here. They spent the afternoon and
evening discussing baseball politics
while the national arbitration board
was considering 26S complaints and
protests.
There was no lack of expression
by baseball officials, which indicat-
ed a feeling that the leagues should
remain loyal to organized ball. Pres
ident Norris L. O'Neill, of the West
ern league, said:
The Federals have nothing to offer
the minor leagues. Therefore the
Federal league cannot expect the mi
nor league body to take any interest
IN outlaw baseball. The federal
league must rectify it's own mistakes
and not ask minor leagues to do that

MEREDITH KING
SELLS HIS STORE
KIRK LOFTiN BUYS AND WILL
OPERATE 1T IN THE
FUTURE,

M. S. King has disposed of his gro
Gerry business to K. P. Loftin. The
trade was made Tuesday afternoon
and they have been busy taking stock
today. Mr. Loftin could not be seen
by Herald reporter but it is under.
stood that he will for the present
have Pat Dooley in charge of the bus
mess, who may be associated with
him in the conduct of the store.
Mr.. King stated this morning that
he would retire to the farm and de-
vote his time to the working of Moth
er Earth. He will operate the late
John A. Loftin farm on the Iron
Bridge road and will have about $50
acres in his charge. For the past
forty-five years the King store has
been operated in Columbia. Up until
about eight years ago the business
was under the direction of M D.
King, father of M. S. King, but for
the past twenty years M. S. King was
associated with his father in the con-
duct of the business, which was
known all over the county as one of
the most substantial firms in the
county.
Mr.. Loftin will probably have some
thing further to say later on through
the columns of The Herald.
