Telegram from Prssident Wilson.

The following telegram is worthy the
careful consideration Of all voters:
The WHITE HOUSE, WASHINGTON. D. C.
October 81, 1914.
JoHs L. BARNETT, National Committee
man, Denver, Colo;
1t is a real pleasure TO speak for those
who have stood by the cause of the peo-
pie and manifested in a very practical
way their support of just progressive
legislation. Certainly, Mr.. Seldomridge,
Mr.. Heating, and Mr.. Taylor are men Of
this type-tbeir quality has been tested
by their service. 1t would seem to me
little more than justice to them that
their constituents should return them to
the House, where with heightened serv-
ice they will be able to give the country
the benefit of their quality more and
more effectively from month to month.

that the officers Of the company would
