PLUM HUNTERS TRY
TO SOLVE MYSTERY
Recent rundown of Chairman
Langhorst Cause of Much
Discussion.
NEVILLE CLOSED BOOK

From STAFF Correspondent
Lincoln, Dec. l4.-(Special. Much
mystery surrounds the turning down
OF Chairman Langhorst OF the demo-
cratic state committee for the position
of food commissioner by Governor
Neville.
One rumor is that the new governor
has said he was under no obligation
to the state committee. as he had to
make his campaign for himself and re-
ceived little or no assistance from the
democratic machinery
Another story, which appears to be
authentic. is that Mr.. Langhorst was
unable to get the support of National
committeeman Arthur Mullen for the
place, the latter giving the reason that
= The First district had already been rec
ognzcd by the disappointment of
George Johnson, whose home is in
Falls Sity
Plan of Distribution.
This again brings I'D the distribu-
ton OF patronage with the question
ii an equal division among districts
will follow. The First district at pres
ent is we'll represented with appoint
mcuts, among the number being Hen
ry Gerdes OF the board of control,
Warden Fenton of the penitentiary.
Ckcf Engineer Johnson of the board
oi irrigation, Secretary Royse Of the
banking board, besides several jobs of
minor nature. If the pass it around"
plan is to govern, some who think
they have a lead pipe cinch" on
reappOintment. may be just as badly
disappointed as is Chairman Lang
horst
Most comment follows the remark
by Chairman Langhorst that 81 am
still going to be for the prohibition
amendment The food commissioner
is a factor i'll regulating sales of near
beer. During the last year Commits
Sioncr Hartman had prosecuted many
OF the near beer vendors for violation
of the pure food laws relative to mis-
branding.
AS to the Dry Law.
y story tnat certain wet CdndldateS
for Office, county, state ando therwise,
who have been elected, were going
to make prohibition so brutally pro-
hibtve as to make it noxous, has
caused much apprehension. The ru-
mored plan is that the state will either
be made SO dry that people will be-
come disguised and go back to high
license or the law made imperative
ST. that it will have the same effect
No one accuses the new governor
OF being in this class, but some insist
much pressure will be brought to bear
TO bring about that condition. There
are many who insist no one will be
able to dictate TO the new governor
They insist that the very moment Mr.
Neville gets the idea into his head
he is being used for that purpose,
such persons will lose the friendship
of the new governor for all time. This
latter idea appears to be the prevail
ing opinion among those who have
been reading between the lines and
may eventually turn out to be the
right dope.

MUST GIVE GOOD SERVICE

Denver, Oct. 12.-Rules requiring
maintenance of high standards Of serv-
ice by all gas, electric and water utili-
ties corporations in the state of Colo
RADIO have been promulgated by the
Public Utilities commission.
These include mandatory require
ments relative to the quality Of com
modities furnished by gas, electric and
water utilities. as well as quality and
quantity of service, and apply to bo5h
privately owned and municipality owned
plants. One of the most important of
the rules is that requiring the constru:-
tion and maintenance of service con-
nections by each gas and electric utili-
ty, and the free construction and main
tenance of water service connections
conditioned upon the depositing by the
consumer desiring such connection of
sum sufficient to cover the cost of the
installation, which amount then is TO
be applied upon accruing water rentals
until exhausted The differentiation in
the rules as to water connections and
gas and electric connections was deem
ed advisable by the commission after n
study of present and past practices of
the three classes of utilities, and in
order that there might be no discrim-
ination against present users of water
in favor of future consumers.

For long time it was the opinion

ney changed all that. At the last term
of court Judge Searcy called grand

Lane collected and emaxined nearly
sixty witnesses before it to so good
purpose that twenty indictments were
returned. The states attorney halcd
the defendants into court little over
week ago and the Silvertan, school
fund has been enriched by fines aggre-
eating $4,000.
Through the respect the officers of
that community have for their oath to
uphold the laws of Colorado, Silverton
will remain dry or a number of resi-
dents will take up their abode in the
state penitentiary. 1.

for congress has been started by mem
bers of the National Woman's Party
working from Denver headquarters.
Within a week the entire state of Colo

printed on vivid yellow, calling on the

to "Get 1t for the Women of the Ma
tion by Voting Agaist Woodrow Will
son" and the Democratic candidates
for congress. Street car posters also
will be placed in the street cars Of
various cities, including Denver and
Pueblo.
Republican women of this city, be-
sides actively assisting the eastern wo-
men who are out for the scalp of the
president because he has turned down
the cause of suffrage, are making an
ardent campaign for local and state
candidates. Constant meetings are be-

Editorial Comments

If the Democratic leader who ad-
vocates putting dyes on the free list
to encourage the industry were sur
geon his method of setting a broken
limb would be to amputate the pa
TENTS leg at the neck.
Optimism is what makes the Demo-
cratic party, which has fooled some
of the people only three times in fifty
years, and has never yet fooled all
of the people some of the time, think
that it can now fool all of the people
all of the time.
President Wilson hasn't been able
to figure out yet whether he is going
to be on the stump or up one.
II the paper shortage becomes much
more serious the first thing we know
the machinery of the State Depart
ment will be coming to an abrupt stop.
Then, too, according to the Demo-
cratic campaign book that among the
more important enactments Of the
Wilson Administration may be men,
toned Magma Charta and the Ten
Commandments,
