HECKLE PATTERSON

TWO SP EAKERs ROUTED

Judge Patterson was heckled today
when addressing crowd Of workmen
at Hog Island whose crossfre of ques-
tions made two Patterson speakers close
abruptly.
"You will be another Smith was
one accusation shouted at the judge
from the crowd. The organization can
tIidate did not lose his smile, however,
and stuck to the platform, answering
as many questions as he could.
"why is there no labor man on your
ticket?" one worker called to the judge

up of the ticket the candidate re
piled.
How would you make good Mayor
when Ed Ware brought you your com
mission?" asked another.
In reply the Judge pointed TO ms

AT that point q shifting train loaded
with railway workers passed.
"Judge, the railroad men are all
with YOU" shouted one man on the
train.
YES, but how about tho garbage
case?" came the cry from another
party of the crowd massed before the
Judge. The reference was to the tax
payers suit brought by Simon Yellin.
The Judge answered he did not sit
In that case.
Finally the crowd obeycd n request
that the Judge be given a chance to

said he was in favor of collective par

Higher Pay for Patrolmen
He nledred he would obtain higher

improve their working conditions.
Two sneakers, who We're forced to
quit by the crowd, had preceded the
candidate. One. John A. Tobin, of the
Blacksmiths' Union, was attacking
Congressman Moores labor record when
some one called:
"What did the Wares ever do? What
about the Fifth ward case?'
Tobin tried to continue, but the yells
and questions became too numerous and
he yielded the platform to Major Vincent
A. Carroll formerly of the Seventy
ninth Division.
Attack on Moore Ends
Major Carroll had no better luck when
he attacked the Independent candidate 5
war record. The tumult became SO
great that he. too, desisted and Judge
Patterson stepped forward.
The organization candidates chief
address was made by Way No. 30.
Afterward his automobile brought him
to the wet basin where 5000 workers
were gathered. The whistle had blown.

tasks, but Judge Patterson spoke for n

Who Are $4,000
Lost Democrats?

the same result Perhaps the Demo
cratic party in Philadelphia has decided
to make one last stupendous effort to
rehabilitate itself in the eyes of it's fell
low Pennsylvania Democrats by voting
for honest government.
Several weeks ago ! told of scheme
that was on foot to throw the strength
of the Ware organization to the support
of Judge Eugene G. Bonniwell as
against Judge Joseph 2. McCullcn. In
return the Bonniwell wing of the Dem
ocratic party was to give its support to
Judge Patterson.
Do the figures I have given above in =
dicate that the alliance is still in ex-
istence so far as the BonniwelI Demo
Gratis are concerned?
OF course, the Ware strength cannot
now be given to Judge Bonniwell. The
fat of Governor Sproul has gone forth.
The Ware organization dare not support
Judge Bonniwell as against Judge Nc
Cullen, unless, of course, they court
break with Governor Sproul.
In the midst of the rumors, reported
deals and suggested chicanery, where
does Charles p. Donnelly stand?
He is the titular head of the Demo
cratic party. 1t is permissible to say
that this astute leader of a forlorn hone
in former years had very kindly feel
ing for the late Senator James p. Nc
Nichol. fancy that his kindred likes
still hold good with Senator McNichols 6
faction Of the party, though he is alb
sent.
1 am of the opinion that the line of
cleavage in the Democratic ranks is so
pronounced that the strength of the
Donnelly wing, in case it were clearly
proved that Judge Bonniwell and his
friends were turning in for the Wares,
would unhesitatingly go toward neutral
izing such condition.
But like Bo Peeps sheep or the
Lost Legion of the Argonne forest |
believe the lost Democrats will finally
come straying back, and into the anti
contractor camp on primary day.
There is no doubt whatever that
hundreds of citizens entitled to register
were deliberately cheated out of their
rights on the registration days. Much
OF this was due to the deliberate efforts
of assessors. In other instances the
registrars were TO blame. In either
case the Board of Registration Com
missioners owe il to themselves to
penalize to the limit the crooks who
were responsible for this crime.
Commissioners Responsible
The Board of Commissioners hold
themselves responsible for their ap
pointnents of registrars. The most lib
eral Interpretation of the law cannot
excuse certain cases that have come
under their observation.
In the Fourteenth ward the case o.
the registrars in one division who sur
rendered their books between registra
tion days into the hands of an Office
holder. in whose possession the board'i
Inspectors found them, is a specific in
stance.
The present week, not excluding tht
earlier days given over to the exami-
nation and appointment of registrars,
will be the busiest period for the new
registration board.

tan and his chief CT detectives, Mr..
Cortelyoa.

We've got every sympathy in the
world for the reasonable demands of
the gang who are now trying to sand
bag the government and the public
just because they've got n strong
uniou with money boarded In their
treasury. The public can't afford
to surrender in this case. The time
has come for public sentiment to
prove that the nation and the rights
OF the people are greater than any
one group or clique, whether they be
mine workers or mine owners. -Jop-

Your War Insurance

BY anew rule of the Bureau of
War Risk Insurance, all former sol
diers, sailors and marines may rein
state their insurance at any time
before December 81, 1919 by paying
only two months back premiums.
This announcement WAS made by
Miss Lucille Henry, Field Supervi-
sor of the Mountain Division of the
Red Cross, who has just been notif-
ed of this change by her headqnar-
ters. Miss Henry is spending few
days with the local Home Service
Section Of the Red Gross.
This new rule Is not intended to
conflict with another provision an
nOunced in July to the effect that II
man may reinstate his insurance Mt
any time within eighteen months
after date of discharge, or within
twelve months after his last pre-
MUM was paid. Another new rule
provides that men who reinstated
their insurance before July 18th and
submitted back premiums for all the
months during which the insurance
had lapsed, may now apply MI Of
these back premiums except two on
their future payments. This rule was
made in order to avoid penalizing the
men who were diligent enough to
reinstate their insurance under the
old regulations. In other words,
it places them on the same basis with
those men who are able to have their
insurance reinstated by paying two
months premiums.
Miss Alice McCarter, Red Cross
Hcme Service Secretary for Rio
Blanco County, has further inform
alton about government insurance,
compensation, vocational training
and other matters of interest to dis
charged service men. Miss McCarter
can be seen at the Miller House.

Let's Get Busy!

In a recent issue of the Craig EN-.
pire it was stated that delegation
of men from Maybell and lower
Yampa Valley were planning n trip
to Salt Lake City with n view OF see-
ing Governor Bamberger. 1t is their
intention to lay before him every
available argument why the pro.
posed railroad should go up Yampa
River instead of up White River and
over Ninemile by way Of Mt. Streeter
to Craig.
The people of this county must get
busy and show Governor Bamberger
that it must come up White River.
This is the most favorable out look
that the county has ever had for a
railroad. We must push 1t to the
limit, and not allow it to slip through
our fingers as it may be some time to
come before another proposition as
good as this one will avail itself.
We have the best OF the Moffat
County dry farmers as far as the re-
sources of the county are concerned
and also the support Of the coal In
terests of Mt. Streetcr. But II the
Utah people are offered big induce
ments by the Nampa valley settlers.
We too must offer some inducements
II the railroad is going to come up
White River. All the people do not
realize the importance OF a railroad
in Rio Blanco County. Too many
are afraid it will spoil their farms by
running. through, but do not think
Of the advantages derived from 1t.
The production Of the county is near
ing it's limit as there Is no market
for any produce but livestock and
will be none until we have u rail-
road.

fat County that we are just AZ live "a

es some OF the water out OF prices,
and destroys some OF the fictitious
values that have been created by the
spectators and the followers Of fren-

There are numerous causes for the
present high prices, and not the least
is the wild orgy OF speculation not
alone in stock but In all that the peo-
pie eat and wear. OF course there is
shortage in many lines, but that
does not account for the excessive
prices. The war Is over; the govern
