Held at the High School Audi
torium Last Saturday.

At the call of the Sweet organizers
in Denver published in The Colorado

League organ, which has since the pri-
mary election felt the reviving effects
of being Swectened, members of the
organization in Baca, Bent, Kiowa and
Prowers counties met al the high
school auditorium in Lamar last Sat
urday afternoon for the purpose of
ratifying the democratic ticket. They
called il convention but its work
was cut out for it by the Denver lead
crs and announced il their organ be-
fore the meeting. "Of course" the
Leader said, this meeting will en-
dorse Carl w. Burke" And of course
it did. Mr.. Burke was elected four
years ago by the n-partigan-league
of the ron-partis .n-league nd for the
non-partisan-league. He went to Den
yer and served the non -partisan-league
just as they dictated and "of course
the league felt sure enough of him TO
let the democrats enjoy the privilege
of nominating him before the league.
They afterwards held convention for
Baca and Prowers counties and en-
dorse J. S. McClung, democratic can
didate for representative. They will
later hold a County convention to en-
dorsc the rest of the democratic ticket.

Star Theatre Closes.

Monday night the lights failed to
twinkle at the Star theatre, and the
usual patrons of the place were fore
ed to go elsewhere for amusement.
The theatre has been in charge of
Mrs. Runyon for several years and
was supposed to be one of the most
prosperous in the valley. She left on
Sunday and has not returned yet, and
the equipment of the theatre is now
in charge of the /. o. o. F. Temple
Association. Manager L. Writ Mark
ham says the theatre will soon be open
again. 1t has enjoyed /" good patron
age for several years and it is believ-
ed that losses of the proprietors at
other points is responsible for the

Some of the democratic newspapers
Of this section-bcfore the primary
election-wcre very fold of quoting
democratic doctrines and prospects
from the Boulder Daily Camera, edited
by that sage of democracy. Col. l.. C.
Paddock, who was a ver., strenuous
advocate Of the candidacy OF LaJunta's
distinguished mayor for governor Of
Colorado. Here is an editorial. pub
lished in the Boulder Camera since
the election. 1t has evidently been
overlooked by newspaper disciples of
Jefferson hereabouts and is herewith
reproduced for the edification and en-
lightenment of some of our democratic
readers:
"Sweet polled 100 per cent Of his
possible strength in November in the
primary Tuesday in considerable vot-
ing places. He can not poll more
votes, for instance, in the shop towns
and coal mine towns or Nonpartisan
League centers next November than he
received last Tuesday. While this is
true, he can count on, perhaps, fifty
per cent Of the straight democratic
vote outside Of such places.
"The republicans polled about TWEEN
ty-five per cent Of their vote in the
primary. They had few contests in
which they were interested, having al
ready decided in their minds, for in
stance, that Mr.. Griffith would be the
nominee for governor and that no
danger lurked in the possible nomina-
tion of Mr.. Cooley. We take Nc
gloomy view of the outlook We be-
lieve that Sweet, the radical, can and
will be defeated by the conservative
voters Of the state.
Denver gave Sweet majority but
will show in November that it does not
favor radicalism. Defeated candidates
will support the ticket but their friends
will not respond to ticket bearing the
imprint of the Nonpartisan League,
and radical labor unions. Boulder
county will give a whaling big majori-
ty for Ben Griffith for governor"

Car Burns.

DIR. H. A. Grant had the misfortune
yesterday morning to have his Premier
car burn up. He was out with a party
of friend5 starting on a duck hunting
trip and when near the Morse bridge
the car was suddenly discovered to be
on fire due, it was said, to backfir-
ing of the engine. The car was al
most completely demolished as there
was no chance to put out the fire. 1t
was near the same place that the
Doctor got lost while out duck hunting
last winter and blizzard caught him.
Either duck hunting or that locality
is evidently his Jonah.

Loose Change.

Four days after Henry Ford closed
his big Ford works because the poor
man could not find money enough to
buy coal, while skirmishing around IN
his old papers he found bank book
showing that he had little bank bal
ance of two million dollars which in
the rush of purifying politics he had
overlooked. The poor fellow bought
himself some coal and opened up the
works again.

NEW BANK ORGANIZED
Bank Commissioner Approves New
Organization That Will Occupy
Quarters and Take Over Part
of the Citizens State Bank
Affairs.

Hon. Allyn Cole, attorney for num-
Der of those interested in the organi-
zation of new bank to take over the
business of the late Citizens State
Bank, received word on Tuesday that
the state bank commissioner had ap-
proved the agreement entered into be-
tween the stockholders of the propos-
ed new bank ard the directors of the
Citizens State Bank, and that they
could go ahead with the plans, pro-
vided the depositors agree to the pro-
posed settlement.
The new bank will be known ;.s the
Commercial Trust and Savings Bank
and will have n capital of $4,000 with
n surplus of $4,000 additional 1t
will have board of directors compos-
ed of substantial business men, and
will have strong backing. 1t agrees
to take over certain paper of the old
bank at par equal to fifty per cert of
the deposits of the Citizens State
Bank and pay the depositors on the
depositors half, or 20 per cent Of
whole, will be available in cash; thirty
per cent in certificate payable in
six months, and thirty per cent in
eighteen months. The other half will
be settled by a committee composed
of nine of the heaviest depositors, who
will take over the balance of the old
banks paper and collect same and pay
the other fifty per cent of the depos-
its as they can. 1t is in the agree
ment that the collections are to De
made at an expense of not to exceed
ten per cent. This is far less than the
expense OF collection by the bank COM
missioner, and will be of material help
to the depositors in getting the remain
ing half of their money or as much
AS possible.
The new bank will occupy the quar-
tiers whore the Citizens State Bank
has been located since it started in
business thirteen years ago, and it is
reported that C. Frost Liggett, who
was the largest depositor of the old
bank, will be president Of the new
concern. The fixtures of the old bank
were sold by the bank commissioners
office last week to n bank in Kansas
and moved the first of this week. They
will be replaced by new fixtures and
it is expected the Commercial Trust
and Savings Bank will be ready to
open its doors about November 1st. OF
course much depends on the willing
ness of the depositors of the old bank
to sign up the agreement.

Pioneer Editor Here.

A family party from Garden City
consisting of Messrs. Hamer and Guy
b. Norris, Mrs. S. G. Norris, Mrs. J.
w Haskell end daughter, motored to
Lamar last Saturday afternoon and
spent the evening and Sunday at La
mar and Granada. Mr.. Hamcr Norris
was the pioneer editor CT the territory
comprising Prowers county, having
been editing the Grenada Exponent
for six weeks before the big lot sale
mar townsite. He was afterwards for
time editor of the Times-Irrigator at
Lamar. He was forceful and fear
less writer whose pen had much to do
both with starting the boom that first
settled this valley and with breaking
up the old Bent county political ring
that had been squeezing the blood out
of it, While in reminiscent mood
ct the Register office on Sunday. Mr..
Norris told two stories of early days
that were especially typical both Of
the times and boom methods of the
sos. He told of the first funeral in
Granada. The only bridge for wagons
across the Arkansas river at that time
between Las Animas and the state line
was the planked way across the Santa
Fe railroad tressle at Old Granada,
and mans team while crossing had
been scared by an approaching train
and jumped of killing the driver. He
was buried IN home made coffin ct
the new town Of Granada and the
whole surrounding territory turned out
its citizens for the occasion. No
preacher was there, but one man was
found who had bible and he read
chapter before burial. After the grave
was filled and the crowd ready to
leave, Dutch John, who will be kindly
remembered by all old timers, halted
they had a large crowd in town there
would be q big dance that evening on
the floor of the new saloon building
and he wanted all present to turn out
anu SllstNt Al liNtlg AtoL- Ht ONiti
story was when the mer who laid out
the townsite of Sheridan Lake wrote
to Mr.. Norris and asked him to give
the new town boost in his next pa
per but forgot to tell him anything
about the town or surrounding coun-
try. He drew on his imagination and
pictured the beautiful lake, which was
only buffalo wallow, and said it got
its name because it was a favorite
stopping place of General Phil Sher-
dan while in command Of this section
of the country. Several months later
he received u letter from an old soldier
back in Pennsylvania telling him that
he had come all the way out to Sheri-
dan Lake because he was a great ad-
mirer of his old general and wanted
to secure a home near his favorite re-
sort. He had returned to Pennsylvania
and wrote TO tell the editor that he
was a liar, as he had too great respect
for General Sheridcn to believe that
he ever even once stopped over night
in such forsaken spot The situations
those days were not alal humorous,
and Granada had more than its share
of tragedy as murders were frequent
the first two years of its history.

The candidate who captured the
high vote in the democratic primary
as n candidate for governor does not
seem to be arousing much enthusiasm
from the democratic press. In fact.
Mr.. Sweets right to be known as a
democrat is severely questioned by a
number of democratic editors. On the
result of the primary, the Denver Dem
ocrat says:
I'VE are asked why Sabin was de-
feated. This is easily explained. There
are over 10000 socialists in Colorado.
This together with thousands of con-
servative democrats who were so dis
gusted with the division in their ranks
that they refused to vote in the pri-
mary caused the result.
at was Andrew Jackson who de-
nounced on an historic occasion an al
lance between the Puritan and the
black-leg.' In Tuesdays primary the
forces of anarchy, infidelity, those who
denounce God as myth and bogy,
united with the prayer meeting crowd
to nominate candidate"
The Boulder Camera, edited by Col.
L. C. Paddock, a lifelong democrat,
says editorially: ave believe that
Sweet, the radical, can and will be de-
feated by the conservative voters Of
the state. The democratic ticket bears
the imprint Of the Nonpartisan league
and radical labor unions. Boulder
county will give whaling big majori-
ty for Ben Griffith for governor"

The country editor was characteriz-
ed as follows in a letter sent out from
the headquarters of William E. Sweet.
candidate for governor:
you will not read much about Mr..
Sweet in the local papers. and what
you read will most likely be false. be-
cause the poor scribblers who edit the
country press are, with few exceptions,
the pawns and poems of Big Business.
They print what the banker and mer-
chant permits them to print-nothing
more"
The kersey News asks whether the
man responsible for such statement
is likely to get much support from the
country press. The Castle Rock Journ-
al characterizes the statement as ga

Denver, Sept. 25.-Complete unity
of the republican party, including can
didates and county chairmen and vice
chairmen, in defense of the principles
of orderly and constitutional govern
ment was again demonstrated last

publican nominee for governor, was
the man best fitted to carry on the
law and order policy to which the re-
publican party has devoted itself, and
warned against the danger of red dom
ination in Colorado.
'"The people of Colorado do not want,
and will not have, return to the rule
of the mob and the destruction of lives
and property" Governor Shoup said,
but they do want, and they will have,
Il continuation of law and order under
which the rights of every man will be
secured and the liberties of all protect
ed to the farthest possible degree"
On nomination of John F. Vivian of
Golden. republican national committee
man. George H. Shaw of Fort Collins

man. Eleanor 4. Young OF Denver
vice-chairman and George A. Crowder
of Cripple Creek. secretary, were re-
elected by accla nation.

said the results of the election CAM
paign would prove whether the people
of Colorado wished to live under the
stars and stripes OF under the flag

Following the meeting, republican
nominees and members Of the state
committee attended dinner at the
Shirly Savoy hotel, given by the Lin
coin club. The principal address was
