solicitor from an alm!ess plodder. vainly
seeking success from business he does not
understand. into an intelligent worker, capa-
Die OF handling a great topic in master g
fashion.
Without your Field Worker. Quicksands.
Literature, etc, should nave become dis.

ALWAYS active in politics the saloon
element is taking time by the forelock
and is already abroad in Pueblo looking
after its best interests in the approach
ing election. The saloons have organ
lied themselves into body for their
own business interests. and few days
ago Il delegation from that organization
waited successfully upon the demo
cratic and republican nominees on the
state legislative ticket and asked them
to pledge themselves if elected to vote
against submitting the prohibition ques
ton to a vote Of the people. Now that
the women have IA vote they are fearful
Of having the prohibition question dis
cussed and are endeavoring to capture
all members Of the next legislature In
advance. Any one pledging himself
would receive the solid support of the
saloon element, and of this the dele
CATION made no secret. But to the
credit Of the candidates on both tickets
be it said that they refused to entertain
the bold proposition. What success
the committee had with the populists
the INDICATOR did not learn.
The Bessemer indicator., 1894-10-20

1T is popular for people to indulge in
the talk of voting the straight state or
national ticket of their party, but in
local affairs TO vote for the best men re
gardless of party-to vote for men who
they believe would discharge the duties
of their office honestly, ably and i'm
partially. They argue, and on good
grounds, too, that local issues have no
bearing on the fundamental principles
of party at large, and that for instance
because man votes for the straight
republican state ticket that is no reason
why he should vote the straight repub
lican local ticket if he is satisfied there
are dishonest and unprincipled men on
it. There is golden opportunity of
fered now in the disreputable makeup
of the republican judicial ticket for
these people who do SO much praise
worthy independent talk to do some
praiseworthy Independent voting.

for district attorney. The tide of senti-
ment in their favor on the part of
an admiring public has been growing
every day since their names were an
nounced; and while they are. members

The friends of n w Dixon have been
making the claim that he is not "a
politician and that his nomination was
simply. the result of an overwhelming
popular demand. Well, Dixon seems to
understand one kind of sooaled politics
Since his nomination he with others of
the gang which nominated him, have
been patronizing the low saloons and
dives on lower Santa Fe avenue. treat
ing the Hungarians and acting Just like
men who think they understand that
kind of politics. If Dixon is ignorant of
the gang style of politics he should take
some other course to convince the peo
pie of it than visiting such places as
Mike Eagan's and filling up Hungarians
with bad liquor
The Bessemer indicator., 1894-10-20

IT is useless for any of the gang
judicial ticket to try TO assume the role
of an innocent receiver of illgottten
goods: day by day since the convention
which nominated Elewell. Dixon and
Collins facts have been developing which
show conclusively that in getting the
nomination the way they did and in
making use of the valuable services of
Ed Knight, George Seavcr and Henry
Mccoy, each of these candidates was
as deep in the mud as either of the
others was in the mire. Which one
originated the dirty scheming which re-
suited in their nomination is matter
OF no great Importance. That they all
went into the unholy alliance and are
seeking to profit by it is evident. The
fate of one on election day will be the
fate of ALL

THERE are many people who argue
and their argument is based on good
grounds, that the courts should he
strictly neutral in politics, and in fact
should be removed from all the in
fuences Of politics, 80 that they might
remain entirely non partisan. And yet
in the late republican primaries and con-
vention the influence Of Division One
of the district court was the most cor
rupt factor in the contest and worked
hand in hand with some of the basest
element of the city. To what depths Of
disgrace it has fallen, and in what little
respect it is held by the better element
Of the people.

SCORE another point for L. H. Divine.
When told on the street few days ago
that il he hoped to be elected he must
visit the low dives of Pueblo. drink beer
and consort with the base element that
frequent those places, he manfully re-
piled that il his election depended upon
such conduct he would not be elected,
for he did not purpose to truckle to that
element. A number Of men Of all
political beliefs heard his courageous
answer and being interviewed by the
INDICATOR they all declared that clean
and fearless Tom Devine was the man
for the high place of district judge.

The INDICATOR gets out big 5000
edition this week. Largest IN town.

The cause OF the fight being waged by
large. and it can be truthfully said, the
more respectable element of the prom
inent republicans of the city against
the judicial part OF their ticket may be
summed up in one sentence; Weariness
Of vicious gang rule and sincere desire
to save the republican party. That con
stitutes the whole cause Of dissention,
and on those grounds the righteous con
test is being waged.
Republicans, honorable men who have
for years given their unselfish support
to the building up OF the party until
Pueblo county had earned the proud
distinction OF being the banner re-
publican county of the state, have ar
rayed themselves on the side Of decency
and justice and have determined that
they will root out an interruptions gang
Of political tricksters rather than per-
init the gang to kill the party.
They recognize in such men as
Elwell, Seaver, Mccoy, Knight, Elspass,
Walpole and others of their ilk faction
that is the canker- worm OF the party
and which must be destroyed or it will
destroy the party.
They know that gang rule in the
notorious Seventh General Assembly
led to wide split in Arapahoe county
politics which ultimately resulted in
the downfall Of the party throughout
the state. They know that it was
official dishonesty and gang rule that
likewise disrupted the republican party
Of Pueblo, and in 1891 turned the city
administration over almost completely
into the hands of the democrats They
know that the same conditions exist now
in certain departments and to shape
their ends so that history will not repeat
itself they have determined that the
morbid coterie OF professional politicians
and gangsters shall be turned down.
They are opposed to the outrage of
justice and common honesty by public
officials, and they are opposed to unfair
and unscrupulous practice in politics.
Too much politics in the judiciary,
too much crookedness in the primaries
and the convention, too close follow
ing Of Walpole who is mere mounte-
bank. has caused righteous and deep
revolt among the republicans and they
will turn the gang down.
1t is simply the alternative Of down
ing the gang or permitting it to down
the party and trample on the right;
nothing more and nothing less.

A "RusTEpn SENSATION.

F. M. Gray, who pretends. to be a
republican but who is hired to dish up
populistic hash for the Herald under
the guise of 'city editor" attempted to
create big sensation through the
Herald Monday evening by saying that
the republican Italian club had "gone to
smash" firstly, for the alleged reason
that one Hector Chiariglion, a prominent
Italian, insisted on carrying the vote OF
his countrymen about in his vest pocket
and secondly, because there is too much
A. P. Aism in the republican party.
Listen to this from the Herald's hired
man. He says:
ut is a known fact that four -fifths of
the Italians are Of the Catholic faith,
and it is eqnally we'll known that four
fifths Of the republican state judicial
and county ticket is made up of A. p
AS. The Italians are smart enough to
know that their freedom Of religious be-
lief is being jeopardized, and their sal
walton now is through the populist
party"
That is rattling good populism com
ing as it does from Republican" Gray.
And now comes the Italian gentle
man named Chiariglion of whom
Gray says the Italians are ''sick and
disgusted" and winds up an able answer
in the Chieftain with the following apt
retort:
The informant Of the Herald must be
some ignoramus who thinks he knows
1t all and really knows nothing
Furthermore, he may be able to say
ST, .Sifn0ve, and therefore classes
himself With the Italians"

AN Austrian named Mike Egan keeps
a saloon and boarding house on lower
Santa Fe avenue. Every one knows
what kind Of places these are on lower

N. w. Dixon, republican candidate for
judge, in company with N. s. Walpole
was down at Mikes drinking beer and
having a good time with the Austrians
with the object Of securing their votes
for Dixon. The INDICATOR believes
this sort Of conduct is entirely beneath

ought to be. Mr.. Dixon is too keen for
