TT is matter for congratulation that Walter Walk
er of the Grand Junction Sentinel elected delegate
at large from this district to the Democratic National

the people the Senator is going to mix things up
fine Gradually it dawns the American people that
the do intend to take chances on giving
peoples candidate the people either the repub-
hcan or dmocratic tickets. Coolidge is nominated now
From him productive interests hope for nothing la

as between men, know that in him there is no hope The
very men who favor Coolidge tell that cannot have
McAdoo real peoples They do not tell us who
we may have but the suspicion keeps bobbng that
they him already done and labeled Now II this
is put over campaign two reactonary crea-
ures of big business named look out for La Toilette
He can carry several surely and conditions can
