fleets upon the bravery of its people.
1t will be recalled that the people
within the territory of what is now
Texas once upon a time decided that
they did no want to be a part of
Mexican territory and established
their independence. After they had
established their independence they
.sked for admission into the United
States. She was admitted into the
Union in 1845.
Soon after the admission of Texas
as a state q dispute arose between
this country and Mexico over the
boundary line. The Texans volunteer
ed and largely made up the armies
that went into Mexico In the war OF
1S46-4s. The people Of that state
have a great deal of pride and the
position in which they now are is
most humiliating to them.
They blame the administration fol-
the present condition on the boundary
line and altho it is one of the strong
est Democratic states in the Unior
it is the unanimous report of every
Democrat from that state that it is
very doubtful if Wilson can carry the
state of Texas this year.

DEMOCRACY AND
THE PRIMARY

State Chairman Wellington Gates
of the Democratic party is authority
for the statement that efforts are
being made to get all Democratic
candidates for all offices to agree
to abide by the assembly choice and
to not enter the primaries. Other
prominent leaders in the Democratic
party are trying to bring about the
same results by getting all the candi-
dates to agree that voting shall con-
tinue in their assemblies until some
one candidate for each position shall
receive two-thirds majority of the
total population of the assembly.
How soon doth the mother forsake
her childl
Less than six years ago Democracy
with Governor Shafroth at its head,
was bowling it's lungs out for the
primaries. 1t was only such short
time ago as the seventeenth general
assembly, when Governor Shafroth
sent to the senate one of the most
scathing denuncations of body pol
itic of men that was ever written,
because, forsooth, Harry Casady,
Frank Cove, Billy Adams and the
other members of that redoubtable
Famous Thirteen" did not accept
Governor Shafroth's primary law
tooth and toenail without gag.
Again, it is only seven short years
ago that Governor Shafroth called
his legislature in extraordinary ses-
sion to enact into law the famous
Seven Paramounts, and one of those
Paramounts was the primary election
law. How well do we remember how
the Democratic orators, with Ed
Brake and Rhody Kenehan as the
chief spellbinders, went about this
state denouncing the old-fashioned
conventions, and declaring that boss
rule must be ground to death under
the heel of public opinion as express
ed at the primary.
Today we note that the same De-
mocracy is entering into a conspiracy
to foil the law it worked so hard to
enact. We note that Democracy
wants to again establish boss rule.
We wonder why.
The leaders won't say, but those on
the inside know. The primary gave
Democracy the worst bunch of can
didates two years ago that was ever
presented to any commonwealth for
adoption or rejection. With but two
exceptions, Attorney General Farrar
and Mrs. Bradford, the candidates
selected at the primary didn't stand
one, two, three, election day. The
party was controlled in its selection
of candidates by the same gang that
had inflicted upon it the various re-
forms of the Shafroth administration.
This year Democracy wants to win.
1t wants to nominate a ticket the per-
sonnel of which will equal the charac-
ter and personnel of Fred Farrar. 1t
is afraid to attempt such big under
taking at public primary. Hence,
some of its leaders are working the
rabbit foot on the various candidates
and are getting them to agree to a
scrap at the assembly and let it go
at that.
Hence, we say:
"How soon doth the mother for
sake her child."--Pueblo Chieftain.

McCormick's Prediction.

National Chairman Mccormick ex-
presses great confidence that Wilson
will be reelected by a big majority,
and gives reasons for the hope that is
in him. The people love the presi-
dent for keeping the country in peace
and bringing prosperity and happi-
ness to it. Mr.. Hughes presents no
compelling reason why he should be
chosen in his stead. In fact he has
done nothing but criticise without
stating his own convictions, if he have
any, and sought to array one part of
the country against the other. Mr..
Wilson has had to act and has done so
wisely. Deeds are largely to his cred
lii. Hughes contents himself with
words, reather weakly ones at that
1t will not be hard for the American
voter to choose whom he will sup
port. The greatest president since
Jefferson, will like him, be given two
terms.

HELPED OUT THE COLONEL
Arrangement Made II Easy for HIM
to Establish a Record With
the Rifle.

Colonel Firebrand, who command
ed the territorial battalion, which
was the pride Of the countryside,
was paying a visit 10 the rifle butts.
His comments on the firing were
acrid in the extreme, and at last
Captain Sabres ventured a comment.
"Why don't YOU take shot your
self, colonel, just TO show them how
it should be done?"
The gallant officer did not seem to
be particularly keen on the expert
ment, but all the same'he borrowed
Private Ramrod's rifle, took aim, and
fired. A tiny cloud of dust arose
about fifty yards from the target, but
in spite of this a bull'seye was sig
nailed. Again and again the same
thing happened, and Private RAM
rod received his rifle back with few
words as to the benefit of emulating
a good example.
Then the private recommended fir
ing, and to his own surprise bulls
eye was signaled. But his joy was
somewhat dampened when he heard
the raucous voice of Sergeant Smart
calling TO the marker, "Hi! what's
the matter with you, blockhead? The
colonel amt firing now."--London
