Jared L. Brush, whom the Republicans

COLORADO.

The election of Populist legislature
means the selection of Davis H. Waite
to represent Colorado in the United
States senate for six years. 1t means
the legalizing of a fraudulent attempt
to swindle the people of Colorado out
of more than 100000 for printing the
constitutional amendments in a lot of
nasty little advertising dodgers whose
chief circulation is in the sewers. 1t
means the passage of a deficiency bill
by which several thousands of dollars
will be taken from the taxpayers Of
Colorado to pay Boiler Inspector Hes-
wer second time for alleged inspec-
tion of boilers for which he has already
collected a large sum of money from
individual owners of boilers without
rendering any value therefor or paying
over the money or giving an account
thereof to the state treasurer, as re-
quired by law. This, too, in spite Of
the fact that the senate refused to
confirm his appointment as inspector.
These are only few things that 4
Populist legislature would do to dan.-
age Colorado.
