RUMORED DEMOCRATIC CON
VENTION
Supposed to Have Met Tuesday--Sone
Say They Did, Some Say They
Didn't

There was a well defined rumor go
ing the rounds Tuesday afternoon
that a democratitc convention was
held at the court house. They kept
it so quiet that we can not speak for
d certainty but as the public hears
it, thirteen Lamar Office holders, two
from Granada, and one each from
Wiley, Holly anad Hartman gathered
at the court house and seemed great
ly exercised at first for fear some
at it, but as no one seemed to be in
terested, they gradually gained con-
fidence, and went through the form
Of holding a convention. AS the dem
ocratic platforms are all violently OPP
posed to officeholders interfering in
politics, they promptly followed Mr..
Wilson in his contempt for demo-
cratic platforms and elected Chas.
Baldwin, postmaster at Granada, for
chairman. and X. L. Christy, county
treasurer, as secretary. The commit
tee on resolutions brought in a re-
port strongly endorsing the president
for kicking the stuffing out Of the
democratic platform and asking for
more Of it, They also pledged the
delegation from this county to use
every reasonable effort to secure
the election of Editor Joe T. Lawless
as a delegate to the national conven-
ton from the Third Congressional
District The following were elected
as delegates to the state convention:
II. P. Syp, C. B. Thoman, C. D. Esk-
ridge, Joe Adamek, DIR. A. C. Davis,
J. S. McClung, H. C. Rogers, R. l..
Christy, V. 2. Haven. Mrs. Ray
Gould.
The only real enthusiasm shown
at any time was when the name of
Bob Speer was mentioned. Although
Prowers county democrats assisted
John Shafroth and Tom Patterson a
few years ago in driving Speer out
OF the party, yet as he is the only
Colorado democrat these days who
can make a noise anything like the
entrance to a pie counter, they are
all for him strong. Tom and 'hon-
estjohn" are in the discard.

Making Them Pay

Great Britain has taken the great
est step toward world wide peace
that has yet been advocated in the
world This may not have been their
intention but it will have the effect
more than any peace preaching that
can be promulgated. They have
adopted new war tax bill which
will make the wealthy classes almost
entirely pay for the war. All in
comes over $4,000 pay 25 per cent
yearly until the war debt is paid off.
If the wealthy men have to foot the
bills there will be no more wars. All
that is needed is for all countries to
adopt this law and universal peace
will follow.

Meetings Ever Held in

Knowles and his assistants at the two
Sunday meetings was a little over
$1,000. On Monday evening another
large crowd gathered for a farewell
reception to the Rev. Knowles and
staff, and there was jollity and good
feeling displayed over the successful
work Of the past five weeks. The
