WEST SWELTERING AGAIN
Another Hot Wave Is Descending Upon
Chicago.

Chicago Aug. l9.-Extensive air dis
turbances in the Northwest involving a
low barometric pressure and aided by
southern winds yesterday sent another
hot wave over the entire Middle West.
The maximum temperature for the day
in most sections between the Rocky
mountains and the Alleghenies, varied
between Is and 100 degrees, officials of
the weather bureau said.
There is no relief in sight for Chicago
before Sunday and possibly not then.
The heat wave, however, will not be as
severe as the one in July, during which
the temperature rose above the 100 mark
and caused the deaths of approximately
800 persons in Chicago.
The temperature here at $3.50 a. m.
yesterday was 90 degrees and rising

GASOLINE AT 20 CENTS
Drop to That Figure Predicted Within
Ten DAYS at New York.

New York, Aug, l9.-Gasoline will fall
to 20 cents a gallon within 10 days or
two weeks, Standard Oil officials said
Thursday. At the Socony stations the
gallon rate was % cents, which repre-
scented three-cent drop within the last
five days Although the middle west
states were selling gasoline for l71a
cents, there is little likelihood of this re-
duced figure striking New York before
month, if at ALL experts said.
The explanation for this drop in mo-
tor fuel is aseribed to the extraordinary
output of the crude oil wells that were
drilled last year and now are yielding.
AS consequence of their exceptional out
put in the last few weeks the quotation
on crude oil has fallen and with it gaso-
line. the price of which is regulated en-
tirely by the production of crude oil.

Candidacy Still In
Doubt.

Gov. Alexa nder's candidacy for
re election is still in a matter OF
doubt in the minds OF some OF the
democrats and republicans. 1t
is apparently still dependent to
some extent upon the reports OF
public sentiment from some OF
the more isolated sections of the
state. 1t is interesting at times
to listen to some of the democia-
tic comment among the leaders
in regard to lns excelleinN
There was a time among the
republicans whenit was felt that
Alexander was stronger with the
people than any other member OF
the democracy that could be nom
mated. Recent disclosures OF
public sentiment, however, have
brought the conviction, that his
personal strength is neghble and
his power on the wane.

as R. Marshall were nominated by
acclanation by the Democratic ma
tional convention, the ticket being
completed just four minutes before
Friday morning.
The Democratic standard bearers
were selected before the platform had

hold another session on Friday for the
approval of the platform, which 1t is
understood had been approved by
the president before he was nomi-

There never was any doubt of Pres

had seemed to be a possibility that
some vice-presidential booms might
be brought out in opposition to Vice

Grave Crisis lin
Mexico.

The president has ordered the
militia to the Mexican frontier to
defend our border from Mexican
raids, aud very possibly to pre-
pare for Mexican war. Th,
situation is very grave, and we
are nearer war than tor many
years.
There is a crisis in our relations
with our turbulent Southern,
neighbors.

during the past few days giving
an example OF celebrity in the mob

Our Mexican trouble merely
proves again that we are not
properly prepared for warfare.

POLITICAL GOSSIP
FROM
WASHINGTON.

Washing ton, June 81. If the
present administration had de-
llberately made an effort to
displease the public and make
enemies for itself, it could hardly
have succeeded in that direction
more effectively than it has done.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from the Canadian line to
the Gulf, protests are still coming
to members OF Congress asking
in most urgent terms to be pro
tected from the proposed changes
III the rural delivery service. In
one community out in California
a public meeting of the patrons
ct the rural service was held and
Il protest was drawn in such vig-
orous language that it was feared
few people would sign it, but the
feeling was so pronounced that
80 per cent of the patrons of the
rural routes affected signed the
protest and then took up a col.
lection to pay the expense of
telegraphing the protest not only
to the Department but to the
Senator'S and Congressman from
that district.

BreWery Workers
(By William Koch.)

Following is a puzzle which the Brew
cry Workers would like to have solved:
Under our present prohibition law the
people of Colorado are allowed to drink
all the foreign beer they care to if it be
a bottle, a barrel, or a carload, so long
as they say it is for personal use. I'm
der the same law the Colorado breweries
are not allowed to make beer. Now if
it is not a sin or against the law to
drink beer from other states, why should
it be a sin or against the law to man
ufactuTe beer in Colorado? Why should
Colorado labor, Colorado breweries and
Colorado farmers be boycotted? Why
should Colorado labor and Colorado fac
tories remain idle and allow Eastern
factories to reap the benefit?
How can we boost home industry by
closing down our factories and being
compelled to send our money out of the
state for the same articles which we
prohibit our own factories from making?
Does prohibition mean that people shall
be allowed to drink all the beer they
care to, so long as they send out of the
state for same, but are prohibited from
drinking n drop of Colorado made beer? &?
This is exactly what our prohibition
law means. Have We not right to sus-
pect under such conditions that there
must have been large amount of money
spent by Eastern liquor dealers to close
down the Colorado breweries? If so, who
received this money?
Many letters from parties who say
they voted dry at the last election have
been received by the secretary. They say
that they voted dry believing that We
would have "real' prohibition, but see
ing that our present prohibition law does
not prohibit the drinking of foreign beer
in Colorado, but simply the closing down
of our breweries, they are going to vote
for the beer amendment. Many say
that we have no prohibition law. 1t is
class legislation. Is it any wonder?
Look, who are responsible.
