Senator De Long. of Grand juno
ton. came to town on Tuesday and
left for Las Animas on Thursday
The senator is out Ia the interest OF
state wide prohibition. To say that
he Is 4 live wire 10 expressing !,
mildly. During his short stay here
he spoke ut no less than five meet
ings. two Of these being Al Swink.
Perhaps the best and most interest
ing meeting was held At noon at the
Santa Fe shops. Senator De Ions
gave a splendid address and mad
a strong appeal 10 the men from ev-
cry angle to vote for n dry COLORADO.
The men paid the closest attention
from start TO finish and gave the
senator grand round OF applause
at the close OF his speech. On Wednes-
day night he addressed union mas
meeting at the Presbyterian church.
when he delighted another fine au-
dience with his wit and argument.
Senator DE Long has made. = warm

For . six months period In 1914
the democrats expended e14.O07.ss
more for county purposes than did
the republicans for = six months
period In 1907. The disbursements
for county officers. county court.

In 1914. by the way. as compared
to democratic rule In 1901 show
a decrease over the 1907 period.
The argument that the population
of the county has greatly increased
and that therefore more business Ii
done. Is not horne out BY the facts.

amounted to more than the total re-
ceipts OF cash fees In the office Of
the county clerk for the year 1913.
This is no fault of the county clerk.
Of course. lie does all the business
he can. but II does show that business
always falls off under democratic

everywhere else. We wonder why?

He said he would devote his time largely to writing for t.the cause.''
 As the clock struck 12 last night Mitchell was standing on the platform in Labor hall here pleading before the striking miners in the copper coun- try. ssIt is with a. tinge of regret,'' he said, that I step out as an officer in the American Federation Of Labor, but I am glad that have the oIs- portunity to be fighting for organized labor during the last hours of my official connection with the organiza- tiOr1s' a.s

Not among those at local hostelries and dining rooms welcoming the ad- vent of the New Y ear was Compensa- tion Commissioner E. T.

Until 2:3O o'clock this morning he worked and was up before the gray dawn had hardly arrived to continue it. Today there were 15O registered letters and 15O ordinary letters re- ceived. Many of them have not been touched, but are all being answered as rapidly as possible. About the same number were received yester- day. A large share wer of inquiries concerning various phases and appli- cations of the law.
 General satisfaction on the part O. both employers and employees is ex- pressed. Practically no large en- pIoyers have declined to avail them selves of the act. A few worknnen have called asking for information. The question concerning which the most Information is desired seems to be the application of the law in cases of there being Jess than five employees.

1By Our Staff Correspondents Y Shelton, Jan. 1---WerA it not for the presence. on street corners. of little knots of special deputy sheriffs. there would be no indications of ahy un- usual conditions in this place, today. Acting on the advice of their leader, Matilda Ra,binowitz, the B1umenthal mills strikers remained in their homes, today, enjoying the holiday the same as if they had been granted a day, g respite. There was no 'picketixaw, no meeting of the strikers. no early morn ing demonstrations such as have marked the proceedings of the striK- CTS during the last seven weeks. To- day was a real holiday. Tor police as we'll as strikers. Not a. single one of the OsBFieh guards was on the streets this forenoon. All, with the strike breakers remained inside the big fae- tcry bLit1ings, and feasted, in the fine fy anpointed dining room. 1o11ed lux t1riously on their we'll Furnished cots. and played cards.
 But the strike breakers and strong armed squad were not the only people in Shelton to have a day of comfort In hundreds of homes of the strikers there was an abundance of holiday cheer. The mill workers here are a frugal lot, and the strike did not find
 
 hardship While none of the homes of the mill workers affords many lux uries, most of them are well stocked with provisions and coal. and there has been no crying demand for the funds that have come in from other mill towns and from individual sub- scriptioIs.
 A meeting of women mill workers was held in Sokol hall, Derby, last night. The chief speaker was Miss Rabinowitz. She communicated, for mally, to the women, what all had known by hearsay, hours before, that Supt Stolzenberg had refused. even to meet their committee of seven who went to the factory offices yesterday to treat with him.
 .tIt was great meeting.'' said Miss RabinDwitz. sHThe hall was damned to the3doors., We have daily meetings, but the meeting of last night was announced as especially for the wom- en. The men would not stay away.

 Bennett himself, however, denied that he was the man sought, though the age and description tallied with t1aatsof the Albert J. Bennett who for nnerly lived in this city. In. every par ticular but one the particulars given by Secretary Bennett in his sapplica- ton for his marriage license fitted the family of Albert J. Bennett. G.
