A Prominent coal operator of
Gunnison county in an interview
with Rio Grande Railway Officials
since the first of the year wss given
to understand the recent order for

The End OF The Fizzle.

Taft fizzled when he sent the army
roaring down to the border and then
halted them there. Wilson fizzled
when he rushed them into Vera

again.
And the army ia fizzling because
it is not allowed to do anything but
fizzle.
With two administrations fizzll-
