issue. The advanced ground already
taken by leading Republicans like Don
Cameron of Pennsylvania will do
much to bring the whole Republican
party into line by the time the nation
al campaign of 1895 is opened. In the
meantime, however, Colorado is prac-
tically unit on the question, ire
spective of party.
Arapahoe county is as nearly a unit
for the Republican party this fall as IT
is possible for so large body of peo
pie to be on any one subject. 1t has
gone beyond mere question of poll
tics, and resolves itself into matter
of business. Hence thoughtful people
who pay taxes or have the welfare of
the state at heart lay aside mere po
litical prejudices, and are ready to joir
hands with the Republican party as
the recognized potent agency for the
redemption Of Colorado from the va.
garies of Waiteism.
A very large number of the best
women of Colorado are interesting
themselves in politics at this time
There are two ways of making this
interest practical and decisive. One
is by paying strict attention to the
primaries that select delegates to the
various conventions, by assisting to
nominate only the best men and wom-
en-, regardless of their mere value as
mere political workers" and seeing
that those selected are really the choice
of the people and not cut-anddried
ticket put up in the interest of some
clique of scheming politicians. The
second method Is to see that your
name is registered, and that your vote
Is duly recorded in favor of the ticket
thus named. There is a large enough
element in the Republican party. and
for that matter, among the patriotic
people of Colorado generally, to bring
the state out Of its present depressed
condition, If they will but organize
systematically in every precinct and
county In the state and act In the line
of policy already indicated. 1t will
take greater effort this year on the par
l
effectively than in future. for the rca-
son that nothing but actual experience
In the practical working of the political
machinery will suffice to fully inform
any one. Don't hesitate. therefore.

the reason that it is too much trouble
Remember this is n political house
