long time.

to be the universal expression of ev-
cry delegate present.
The committee on resolutions report
ed, as follows:
Mr.. Chairman: We, your commit
tee on resolutions desire to report as
follows:
1--WE commend the firm stand taken
by President Calvin Coolidge, for the
protection of the common people; for
his courageous stand in defending his
rights against the attacks and demands
of a hostile congress in the oil investi-
CATION; for his outspoken decisions
favoring a downward revision of fed
eral taxes; and we hereby pledge our
unqualified support in his behalf.
1--WE commend the untiring effort of
Senator Phipps on behalf of the State
of Colorado. We feel that the fact
that he was able, through his influ-
ence, to have DR.. Work and Rush
Holland appointed to very important
cabinet positions, shows that the State
of Colorado has an able man in the
Senate. We further commend his
work on behalf of the stockmen, in re-
ducing the grazing fees. We also
commend him for what he was able to
do toward the temporary relief of
water uStlS uuutl INC
project.
I'VE affirm our confidence in the
choice of Delta county people in select
ing Bob Rockwell, our Lieutenant
Governor, to consent to run for Gov
ernor at the coming general election.
We pledge our support to his can
didacy and hereby constitute each
member of this assembly a committee
of one to work for his success in the
primary election.
I'VE believe that as Representative.
as State Senator. and as Lieutenant
Governor. he has shown remarkable
ability in handling the affairs of his
constituents. and that as Governor Of
this great state, the business of the
people will be in safe and competent
hands.
I'VE heartily endorse the Hon. Chas.
]. Moynihan, OF Montrose, for National
Committeeman.

Newspaper files of 25 years ago form most interesting reading. IL is discovered through a perusal Of such files that one of the wonders or that day was the usc of the phoroCraph.

 Typcwriters had become in quite general use just d decade or so pre- yiousIy Blind" typewriters, such as prevented the operator from see ing what he was writing, were common, they were even more commou @0 years ago.

STATESMEN NOW
 GO CLEAN.SHAVEN
Lack Of WhiskerS Makes Trouble
 for European CartoOnists

Vienna, Dec. IS. --- Styles intro duced into Europe during the war, by the clean shaven men of England and America. together with the safety razor. have made trouble for European cartoonists. Time was when almost all the nonarchs and statesmen of this part of, the world wore whlskers. and their faces were consequently relatively easy to copy or burlesque; but today King George of England and King Ferdinand of Ismania are the only bewhiskered rulers who cling to European thrones and the latter is so over shadowed by beautiful Queen Marie that he seldom figures In the world news.
 There was fine crop of imperial Whlskers when the great war began, but death and revolution removed and put to flight many of the beard cd kings. While democracy failed 10 place presidents into power, older monarchs made way for clean Shaven sons.
 Among the beardless men of prominence today. whose faces are hard to caricature, are Friedrich Ebert, president of Germany, and Chancellor Marx: Herriot prime minister of France; and the kings of Scandinavia, Belgium, Spain and Italy.
 Mustapha Renal, of Turkey, wears no h4ard and trims his mou- stache so closely that there Is no excuse to give 1t an upper twist with a view 10 converting him into ter rible Turk with knife in his teeth.
 In fact, Europe is now quite gem erally ruled by men who have the appearance of regular everyday chaps who lack the eccentricities and peculiarities which cartoonists thrive on. Even European diplo- mats have quit crooking out their arms and walking with a stoop and | a limp. The monocle is relegated to 1 prominent families which are no longer prominent, and fast-stepping | young democrats. are taking the | places of the -spatted old timers who were such excellent tar gets for the shafts of artists and l iramatists.

 Somebody asked how American society compared with the society of Europs
 T found you so extraordinarily well-tnformcd," the grand Duchess replied.
 T have learned a lot since have been here-much more than you know"
 How did you find sentiment here for the old regime in Russia 2"
 T found a friendly sentiment for all the troubles they have been through"
 Did you find a sentiment against the soviets"" she was asked.
 T don't think people here appre- ciate that regime" was her reply.
 The Grand Duchess was the din- hcr guest of Mir, and Mrs. George r. Rak'r, IT., at their home, and later wen with them to the Metrorolltan opera for the performance of An droas Chernter."
 Later they went on 10 sherry's where the Monday Opera Supper cinb, under whose auspices Victoria visited this country, gave her a fare- well reception.
