Alumni team. The score for the
first game was to in favor of the
High School boys. Each side ran in
a score in the sixth and then none
were obtained until the end of the
ninth. The second game resulted in
a score of 3 to . in favor of the Al
umn team Both games were char

both sides and it would be hard to
say who were the stars. Starbird

some very good hits were made by
the High School boys. especially by

SENTIMENT SHOWS COLORADO WILL GIVE
WILSON A MAGNIFICENT PLURALITY Vote

ing IN a mere figure of speech The
cold facts are simply dumfounding.
Inc postotfice receipts are a very
reliable barometer of business condi-
tions in any community. The post
ofilce receipts for the nation last
year showed an increase of "a per
cent over the best of the Taft ad-
ministration
The bank deposits for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1916, showed
an increase of 80 per cent compared
with the same period of 1912 In
other words, after three years of
wilson the people of the country
have 80 per cent more money in the
bank than they had during the best
year of Republican rule. No wonder
they are satisfied with Wilson.
Doubling Our Foreign Trade
Our Republican friends are always
talking about the way they built up
our foreign trade. Their best record
seems small, however, by comparison
with what Wilson and the Democrats
have done along those lines.
During the year just closed, our
exports exceeded the exports of the
best year under Republican rule by
95 per cent. This surpassed Eng
lands best year-that of lobby
6S per cent and Germany's best year
by 100 per cent
FOR THE FIRST TINE OUR
FOR EIGN TRADE EXCEEDED
THAT OF GREAT BRITAIN.
Then take the balance of trade"
argument. Our Republican friends
in times past have made a great deal
of capital out of the fact that we
sold more to foreign countries than
we purchased from those countries.
The result, they told us, was the
balance of trade"-a purely Re-
publican institution. The thing
couldn't exist, they assured us, un-
der Democratic rule.
But now it appears that in one
year of Woodrow Wilson's admin
istration our balance of trade ex-
ceeded by $5O0,00O,OOO the COM
bined balances for four years of Mr..
Taft's administration
That the farmer is one of the prin-
cipal beneficiaries of Democratic
prosperity is shown by the fact that
under Wilson the farmers have been
receiving A THOUSAND MILLION
DOLLARS year more for their
products than under Taft and
THREE THOUSAND MILLIONS
more than under Roosevelt.
IS 1T ANY WONDER THAT THE
FARMERS ARE SATISFIED WITH
WILSON?

The people are not slow to tell

That's the answer, and no amount of
talk by Republican orators can mud
