State Capital Notes
During the week Mayor Robert
W. Speer addiessed a letter to
Senator Napier in which he stated
that he believed an extra session
of tlie assembly should be called
for tlie pur nose of selecting a
United States senator. He also said
that in bis opinion all men who
were candidates before the regu
lar session should be eliminated
and he further said that if the
finances of the state were In such
shape that the expense of the ex*
tra could not he met, then the
Deimx ratio state organization could
well afford to pay all the costs
rather than have the present bi
ennial term end without Democracy
having elected a United Btates sen
ator.
The letter of Mr. Speer Is Issued
for two purposes. First: To place
his position before the people of
the state and second, to place Gov
ernor Shafroth in a position where
If he does not call the extra, the
Speer wing of Democracy <an claitg
that the governor is responsible
for no senator having been chosen
Mayor Speer concludes his letter
as follows:
"During the regular' session of
tlie legislature I had the honor
of receiving as many votes as all
the other eandldates combined, and
was always ready to go into a party
caucus and abide by Its decision,
but no one was elected, and I
would now suggest that you elimi
nate all the candidates who were
before the regular session and elect
some new man. If you cannot gel
a special session, let those who an
responsible for Its failure U> meet
assume the responsibility.
A special session could speed
ily settle the senatorial question
No member of the legislature would
receive any additional salary, and
(he tost could be kept down to a
normal amount. Our party organ
ization could well afford to pa>
all «ost rather than have no ac
tion taken in this matter.
Very truly yours,
(Slg.) R. W. Speer. "
The work of ralsiug $10,000.00
with which to malutaiu the farm ex
tension departments at the agricul
tural college is progressing with
more success than those bock of
the movement at first anticipated
The Great Western Sugar company
heads the list with a cash contribu
tion of SIOO for each of their nine
factories. The stockmen of the
state have guaranteed SSOO. The
real estate exchanges and business
mens' associations of a number of
towns have endorsed the move
ment. In addition. Chairman Mc-
Donald of the Republican party
and Bradley of the Democratic party
have each given the committee in
■ barge of the work authority to
-ay that they endorse the proposi
tion and that they hope the total
sum will be realized. Plans are
about completed for the committee
to visit Che various sections of the
date and hold conferences with
J those who represent the agricul
tural interests of those sections.
I So far as it is generally known
I this is the first time that the rea
' idents of the state have taken it
' upon themselves to raise funds
with which to maintain a state
institution, when the state itself is
ihort of funds for that purpose.
State Auditor M. A. Leddy was
visited by a committee representing
| tjhe men who are back of the move
ment to raise the funds. This com
mil tee explained why the mill levy
collections could not be used to
coutiuue this experimental work
and Mr. Leddy withdrew ull ob
jections.
Muyor Speer suggests that if an
ex tar session is held lor the pur
pose of electing a United States
stiuutor. Democracy owes it to the
state to pay the additional expense
or that extra session. Under the
same reasoning does not the Dem
ocracy owe the state about $200,-
000? Since that party came into
power in Colorado the legislature
lias been in session 287 days at an
approximate cost of SI,OOO per
day. No one will claim that It ■
could not have performed the work 1
in 87 days. When Democracy re
i'uiids the amount that it really
owes then will the people be will
ing to admit of her genulnl re
! urination.

Congressman Charles K. Fuller
of Belvldere was the host to the
editors and friends at one o'clock,
and one of the finest Briggs House
banquets »un served.
After the dinner of course, there
were speeches and toasts, etc. but

Htate. a consistent Fuller man. and
in every way qualified to take the
dignified part of presiding at surli
an august body of republicans
When he Introduced Congressman
Fuller he Introduced him both n
the guest and the host of the edi
torial gang, and Mr. Fuller respond
ed by talking twenty minutes on re
publicanism as It exists today in
Illinois and in his district. For
many weeks there has been a con
stant agitation going the rounds of
the press on tlie part of those who
would like to see Mr. Fuller ootae
out as an avowed candidate fot
governor of Illinois. We hellev<
there could be no more cl&rifyint
effect on Illinois politics than the
announcement of his candidacy.
However, it is patent to all polltlo
il observers that such a step would
*e a great sacrifbe on Mr. Fuller's
part, with the uncertainty of win
ning, owing to the grrat number of
factions In the state. He feels, and
>f course, his party feels that he
:• n and is doing a great deal for
this district and for Illinois in his
present place in oongress, where he
is the leading member of such Im
portant committees as Invalid Pen
sions, Insular Affairs and the
Militia. When Mr. Fuller warmed
tap to hlmseLf he talked plainly to
his editorial and postmaster friends
on the ®ubje«t of " Republicanism."
According to the Fuller doctrine,
with which every one present
agreed, there is no such thing as
"Progressive Republicanism," “In
surgent Republicanism." ‘‘Standpat
ism." and the thousand and one
other isms and factions. No party
on earth ever showed such a pro
gressive spirit as the Republican
party sLnce the days of Lincoln and
lx>gan a/nd Grant and McKinley; no
political organization ever Inaug
urated the number of reforms and
progressive and stable measures for
a country as has the Republican
party. During one season of Dem
ocratic rule more harm was done
the country, more men were out of
work, more soup houses were op
erating thn/n ever before or sin<e
in the history of the United State**.
When it comes to attaching an ad
jective to the word "Republican,"
declared Mr. Fuller, there is no
adjective that can be attached and
strengthen the appellation in the
least. The word Republican stands
for progress, reform, prosperity and
a protective t-aiff, and there is uoth-
Inng further that can be said to
add any lustre or meaning to the
word, if all parts of the state and
nation could be as enthusiastic in

According to the following state

"The United States Bureau of

regions. Graduates of institutions
in ‘Class 1* would ordinarily be

the bachelor's degree.”
Denver University is placed in

Lamar Wallops Rocky Ford
Leaving their wives and children
at home, the husky Lamar football
players journeyed up to Rocky Ford
Saturday and (leaned up the local
team to a score of 33 to 0. The
game was one sided from the be
ginning. The Rocky Ford high
school boys never had a chance with
the bearded men they had to run
up against. The Lamar players
weighed about fifty pounds to a
man more than the local players
and some of them have been play
ing football for years. A good
crowd saw part of the game, but
most of them left before the
slaughter was over.—Rocky Ford
Tribute.
