WITH NOTABLE CHANGES

Article Y of the proposed League of

peace treaty controversy, passed the
senate few days ago. The president
refuses to recognize the animule in its
present form which is as follows:
The United States obligation to
preserve territorial integrity or politi-
cal independence of any other coun-
try by the employment of its military
or naval forces. Its resources or any
form of economic discrimination or to
interfere in anyway in the controver-
sizes between nations. including all con-
troversies relating to territorial integ
rity or political independence, whether
members of the league or not under
the provision under article 10. Or to
employ the military or naval forces
of the United States under any article.
OF the treaty for any purpose unless
in any particular case congress. which
under the constitution has sole power
to declare war or authorize the en-
ployment of the military or naval
forces of the United States, shall in
exercise of full liberty of action or

CONGRESSMAN TAYLOR WILL BE
BADLY BEATEN SAYS RAMER

John f. Ramer chairman of the 4th
Republican Congressional Committee
was down from Hotchkiss Wednesday.
Mr.. Ramer stated that he has been
summing up the situation in the dis
trict for two months past he is of
the firm belief that a Republican will
go to congress from this district next
year. Il did not believe there was
such strong demand for a change"
said Mr.. Ramer. but reports from
the various counties has lead me to be-
lieye that conditions are most encour-
aging for the Republican candidate.
Some counties the conditions actually
are against Taylor, even the Demo
Gratis are against him. The Republic
cans are not lacking candidates this
year. several already signified their
intention to get into the running. II
is encouraging as in the past candi
dates have not been so plentiful
John is a pretty good guesser wher
il come to politics and his view of the
matter in this district will be keenly
watched. He has completed a care
ful survey Of every county preparatory
so he says to Opening the fireworks.

WESTERN SLOPE VISITED
BY a NEAR TWfSTER

For nearly twenty years we have
patter ourselves on the back and
thanked the good Lord In general and
old King Doreas in particular that at
last we had found place where
cyclones. tornadoes. etc, were nm
known. We spent several years in
Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska and had
frequent and unlimited visits OF such
atmospheric disturbances.
But Sunday the entire Western
Slope, SO far as we can learn. was
visited by one OF those affairs which
had evidently broken its leash some
where in Kansas or Oklahoma and
gone wild, and for q time we almost
doubted the protecting power OF old
Grand Mesa which from time iu,nem-
or-ial like watchful sentinel has
guarded our destinies.
At Montrose several buildings had
plate glass blown In and sides torn
out: in the Hotcbkiss neighborhood
silos and outbuildings were overturn-
cd. wagons and hay racks were upset
and everything movable played fruit
basket. The same was true in the
Austin district.
within the city limits of our own
city no noticeable damage was done

different view Of the matter.
