tional Committeeman

There will be no Progressive party
ticket in the state primaries to be held
September l2 This was definitely de.
cided at meeting held at the Albany
hotel A minority of the delegates pres.
ent undertook to form a ticket, but it is
doubtful if they can succeed In secur.
ing enough signatures to petition to
file it.
Three of the party's leaders, Clarence
p. Dodge, f. p COstigan and Ben Grit
fifth, opposed naming a state ticket and
their view was adopted by vote of S5
to AZ.
A resolution, which in effect became
the obituary OF the Colorado Bull Moos-
ers, was adopted as follows:
Resolved by the Progressive party of
Colorado in state assembly:
"First-That the Progressive party at
this time does not place ticket in the

Second That the organization of the
Progressive party shall be continued.
"Third--That the Progressive party is
firmly determined only to support worthy
candidates and declarations OF principles
in the fall campaign
Fourth h-That the Progressive party
will take under consideration the need

Immediately afterward E. A. Miller
moved that, for the sake of those Pro-
gressives who wished to vote for j. NJ.
Parker for vice president of the Uniteo
States, six presidential electors be named
to go on the ticket this fall
The Denver delegation, led BY Mr.. Cos
tigan, voted in favor of this motion and
helped to carry it thru. Mr.. Costigan
explained that, altho he was himself op-
posed to the plan, he thought it was just
to give members OF the party the op-
portunity to support the only national
candidate they had.
The following electors We're thereupon
named by committee headed by Mr..
Miller and passed by the assembly:
Robert Kerr. Fl Paso county; James
II. Causey. Denver; j.. G. kurtz, Las An

"OUR SAM" AT BAT.

Senator Sherman of Illinois held the
floor in the United States Senate last
Monday and referred to Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Feder
alton of Labor. as "a public nuisance"
This is indeed fortunate. had al
most come to the conclusion that Sam
was back number-was Oslerized-was
inefficient. But whateer it was that
Gompers did that aroused Senator Sher-
mans ire, you may rest assured the act
was one in the interest of and for the
protection of the laboring man, and not
in the interest of the capitalists or labor
eXploiters. Any man. whether its Com
pers or some other fellow, who can rouse
the ire of such as Senator Sherman, l,
a safe leader for the laborers. Don't
forget that. If Sam is public nuisance,
then let us pray that he will become
doubly pestiferous.

FILE ON 100 ACRES
ADDITIONAL HOMESTEAD

A large number of persons in
southern Grant county who are
now holding 160 acre homesteads
or who have already secured pat
ent to 160 acres and are desirous of
securing an additional allowance,
have been making additional en-
tries before U. S. Commissioner
Bush. Those making recent en-
tries were Walter Rebusch, An
thony Conner, Mrs. Sarah Knight,
Earle Kerr, Ben Locklear, Frank
Weldon and others.
Petitions for designation were
filed in all of these entries. Where
a tract of land adjoining an orig
inal entry is unfit for cultivation,
not susceptible of irrigation and is
primary grazing land, it is now
possible to petition the government
to designate the tract as 800 acre
land and by cultivating one-eighth
of the area (if possible) obtain IT,
tie to the land. Residence on the
land is not required if residence
on the original tract has been COM
piled with. A reasonable fee of
$40 is charged by the local COM
missioner for the handling of these
petitions and additional entries.
