The hall was beautifully decorated
for the occasion with score or more
of immense American flags. A fine
musical program was rendered from
half past seven until S:l5 O'Clock
Senator John j. Tobin then briefly
introduced the speaker and for near

the cause of Socialism is more un-

MIDLAND TRAIL
HAS EVEN BREAK
FOR 1915 TOURS

j. G. Burton, writing in Motor Age,
declares that the 1915 tourist auto
mobile travel is going to be divided
equally between the Midland Trail
and the Overland route. He declares
that the Northwestern line and the
Santa Fe trail are eliminated because
of climatic conditions.
The article, which is accompanied
by fine relief map that gives the
local road exceptional prominence,
SAYS:
"Radiating from Chicago are three
transeontinental motoring routes that
have their terminal in California
the Lincoln Highway. which follows
the historic Overland Trail practical
ly all the way. the Midland Trail and
the Santa Fe.
I'm all probability the Lincoln
Highway will prove the most popular
with those tourists who have but a
limited time to devote to such a trip.

peal to that legion of motorists who
admire mountain scenery and are not
averse to suffering some rough going
in order to pay homage to the snow

route pierces Colorado and offers an
opportunity for the exploration of the
magnificent Rockies. The Santa Fe
Trail is solely a fall and winter
route.

PREPARE
CANDIDATES FOR
FALL ELECTION

Candidates for preference In the
Bull Moose primaries are already be-
ginning To rouse from their hiberna-
tion and by the middle of summer the
races will be on in earnest.
The sheriff's office will be much
sought plum by the prosressives and
no less than I ayowed candidates are
already in the field. They are
''avowed' In the sense that they will
get in the game IL the signs are
right and the county central commit
tee doesn't turn down its thumbs.
This quartetts is composed OF John
Heron. John j. Cottrell, Dan Griffis
and Harry II. Younger. Griffis and
Heron were unsuccessful candidates
in the primaries two years ago and
are going to try again.
John T. Brown has apparently not
satisfied the central committee of his
dyed-in-t -thewool proggressiyeness
He hasn't worn a Roosevelt button in
ever so long. He hasn't paid his last
months dues to the organization and
generally has exhibited a careless at
tiuude toward the powers that be. As
q matter of fact Brown has his eye on
an appointment to the Colorado Tax
commission but he has to base his
hopes on republican governor SO he
may have to wait quite spell before
he realizes on his ambitions.
Lincoln Antics, Browns recently
appointed deputy. was secretary of
the first Roosevelt club in the county
and will probably be asked to run for
the assessorship. Charley Jones will
be a candidate to succeed himself as
county clerk. Eugene Smith Will
probably run for omething-maybe,
the senatorship. In this connection
it might be said that A. c. Newton
will probably go after the senatorial
tosa but as he has not taken the
trouble to classify himself as yet, the
progressive committee hasn't gone out
of its way to boost his stock.
