Same AZ In 1912.

The total vote for governor two
years ago, In 1912, at the primary, was
1S1,415. This would indicate that the
republican party in Iowa had retained
its entire strength since the democrat.
ic landslide two years ago. Further
substantiation Of this indication is
gained from the fact that Clarke poll
ed 1S4,14S votes in the 1912 Novem-
Der election-approximately the same
as the primary goyernorship total.
Comparison With 1919 Vote.
Something Of the situation as be-
tween parties, probably may be best
glimpsed when 1t is remembered that
W. S. Kenyon and LATE Young gath
cred in a total of 1S9,680 votes in the
1912 primary when Kenyon was nomi-
mated II is estimated that the Cum
minslSavage total this year will be
about 10000, fully $4,000 votes less
than the senatorial contest total for
republicanism in 1912.
Conditions Similar.

conditions. In a general way, two
years ago, were quite similar to those

they were somewhat overshadowed by

On the face Of the returns so far

Hog Cholera Cures.

ivy SHoiSId Suttos
Evidence of what appears to be a
vol organized campaign to delude
farmers throughout the country who
buying an alleged cure for hog chol-
era, under the impression that this
has been investigated and approved by
the United States government, has
reached the Department of Agricul-
ture. Articles praising this medicine,
Benetol by name, are being sent out
broadcast to newspapers. These ar
ticles are so worded that 1t appears
as II the Department OF Agriculture
had recommended the medicine.
In fact the one report received
by the department was an unofficial
and unsolicited statement sent pre-.
sumably from the promoters them
selves. The department attaches no
importances whatsoever to this state
ment. 1t has no reason to believe in
the efficiency of any proprietary cure
for hog cholera and does not recon-
mend any. Under certain conditions

Pardon Issued to
Indian Prisoner

Washington, July 7.-After "a
years behind the bars under life SEN
tence for murder, Spopee, Black
Foot Indian. was Internationally
pardoned today by President Wilson.
He will be released at once from the
federal hospital for the insane here
to return to his daughter at Brown
ing, Mont. whom he has not seen
since she was baby.
A party OF Black Feet sightseeing
in Washington months ago happened
on Spopee. grown gray with his long
Imprisonment. They established his
tribal identity by an Indian song,
and one of the interpreters recogniZ-
ed in Spopee the hero of an old le-
gend, who had disappeared score
of years ago into some white man q
Jail. Black Foot mothers have been
singing their children to sleep with
a song about him ever since.
Officials OF the Indian Office, ad-
yised OF the discovery. began an in
vestigation which resulted in his
pardon.
Spopee was charged with the mur-
der OF a white man near the Cana
dian boundary north of the Montana
line. 1t is thought by the depart
ment of justice that the murder
probably was committed in Canada
and that the territorial courts of
Montana which tried him at Fort
Benton, had no jurisdiction. More
over, 1t is now believed that Spopee
committed the murder in self de-
fense. He and another Indian, Good
Rider, asked white man for food.
Their request was denied and the
white man denounced Spopee. final
Iy assaulting him with an axe. The
Indian claims to have fired in self
defense and his story is credited by
the department of justice.
After Spopee's conviction at Fort
Benton and sentence to death he was
removed to the federal prison at
Fort Leavenworth. While awaiting
execution the Indian maintained abb
solute silence. His conduct was so
unusual that he was believed to be
insane and after two years was re-
moved to the federal hospital here,
where he has been held a prisoner
for 81 years.
Spopee is regarded as an intelli-
gent Indian by physicians who have
examined him since the movement to
obtain his release was begun.
Commissioner Selles OF the Indian
office took the case up and arranged
today to send Spopee back to his peo-
pie.

CONVENTION OF STATE RETAIL MERCHANTS
PROMISE TO Be GREAT SUCCESS

From every indication the Four
teenth annual convention OF the Re
tail Merchants association OF Colo
rado. which will be held in Trinidad
July 20, 2l and %, 1914, will be one
OF the most successful that the asso-
citation has ever held. The attend
ance will be large and representa-
tive OF the very best mercantile In
terests in the state. Denver Will
lie delegates will be accompanied
from Pueblo and Colorado Springs
Among the other locals that will be
represented that have been heard
from are: Rocky Ford, Montrose,
Monte Vista, Cripple Creek, Lamar.
I-ongmont. Trinidad, and many other
locals throughout the state. In ad.
dition to this a number OF individual
members will probably be in attend
ance.
The reduced rate on the railroads
will be an inducement to the dele
gates.
The program Which was outlined
in these columns in our last issue
and will be published In full In our
next issue is perhaps the most elab-
crate and the best program that has
ever been presented. 1t will include
men Of national reputation as well
as the leading merchants OF this
state.
National President Frank Il. Con-
molly is coming from California on a
special trip for the convention.
Another leading feature will be
the address of Mr.. Anderson Pace,
industrial commissioner Of the Chi
cago Association OF Commerce, who
will make the long trip across the
continent, from Chicago to Trinidad,
especially to address the convention.
There is no comm mercial orator in
this country better known or more
popular than Mr.. Pace He recently
addressed the convention of the hi
nois Merchants association and
when convention is able to secure
his services it is highly honored.
Another feature address will be
given by Mr.. f. p. Perrinc, an ex-
pert on salesmanship. This address
will be illustrated and those. who
heard Mr.. Perrine several years ago
at Greeley will remember his address
as being very instructing and enter
tanning.
Another feature of the convention
will he the addrpss 0f the ColOrodo
State Pure Food Commissioner John
Lynch. Our members are all anxious
to hear Mr.. Lynch and to learn from
