Tho Tricks Of q Few

The metropolis Of county always
has to face more or less Of predudicy
1t Is true OF Greeley as il is Of other
towns. Greeley is as good as the av.
erage. probably not better.
The present situation reveals
small faction in Greeley who ar,
bound to override the wishes Of th.
dry land section. For this purpos.
they are neither democrat nor reuubli.
can, they are either and both "a NAV
best suit their purpose.
In the present campaign the demo-
Gratis of this bipartisan set have out
generated the republicans They had
the best opportunity 10 do so.
Four years ago, L. I. Philip WIS d
candidate on the democratic ticket and
received the big vote. Two years aeo,
he was al.o candidate, but lie dronp.
ed away down, and Hicks was the hiah
man. Two years ago philp was under
stood to be pledged to stand by the
wishes of the people Of this section on
county division. He lost, the writer
won by narrow margin.
The republicans have the same sort
10 contend with. On the other haaa
the great majority Of those Ia Greeley
and all over the county, and in both
parties are fair and just. They may
be Indifferent. but they will attend 10
the rascals when they know them.

Interested III seeing goo4 man put up

There is some an,ipathy in the bal
ance Of the county to the county seat
candidates. This is not unusual. 1t
sometimes has some cause, more often
it is without reason. The dry land
country has thousands of good loyal
well-wishers at Greeley, and we would
have more Of them ii they were better
acquainted with US. But I'VE did not
start out TO say that alone. There will
be Il candidate on the primary ballot
from Greeley His name is Harbough.
He is clean, capable man, one who
will attend 10 he duties Of the Office
IN competent manner. We hope he
gets every vote at the primary election
next Tuesday He is Weld county
man, on' who is interested in every
foot of Weld county clear to the farth.

GERMAN U-B0AT

U-53 Man Of War Carries Guns
Mounted on Deck - Searching
For Bremen.

Newport. r. l. - Seventeen days
from Wilhelmshaven, the Imperial
German submarine U-53 dropped
anchor in Newport harbor.
Almost before the officers of the
American fleet of warships, through
which the stranger had nosed her
way, had recovered from their as
tonishment, the undersea fighter had
delivered a message for the German
Ambassador, and, weighing anchor.
disappeared beneath the waves just
inside the three-mile limit
AS she came and went, she flew the
black and white colors of the Ger
man navy. gun was mounted on the
forward deck and another aft, while
eight torpedoes gave mute assur-
ance that the warship was ready for
a fight at the drop of the hat. Lieu
tenant Captain Hans Rose, who hung
up a new worlds record in bringing
an armed submarine in battle array
across the Atlantic, said that he had
called at Newport simply to mail a
letter to Count Won Bernstorff. He
required neither provisions nor fuel.
Here Three Hours.
The submarine was in American
waters little more than three
hours. assuming that she continued
TO sea after submersing.
There were rumors, without appar-
ent basis, that the German merchant
submarine Bremen, long overdue,
might be expected in the wake of the
warship. Some naval officers ex.
pressed the opinion that the fighter
had escorted the Bremen across the
ocean, and others that she was
searching for the merchant ship. The
first question asked by Captain Rose
when a motorboat came alongside
was: Have you heard from the
Bremen?"
When he was told that there was
no news of the missing craft, his
face became grave, but he made NO
comment
