One may be a little surprised at
the confidence displayed by intelli,
gent men everywhere regarding
the probable success of the Re-
publicans this fall. 1t is to be re-
gretted that this confidence tends
to apathy, but intelligent people
cannot conceive how business men,
laboring men, farmers, mechanics,
and in fact all citizens who are en-
joying such a full measure of pros
perity can vote to overturn that
prosperity. Aud while this is in
conceivable, it cannot be i'm
pressed too often upon the minds
of those very persons who are en-
joying the prosperity which is the
fruit of Republican rule, that they
must see to it in the November
elections that their votes are cast
and counted in order to continue
the blessings which are now being
enjoyed.

Days OF Democratic Rule, Ruin
And Starvation.

The Inauguration of n Demo-
cratic president in March, 1898,
marked the beginning of the most
distressful times ever known in
this country. In the preceding
November the majority of the ma
TONS working people had seen fit
to try the experiment of bettering
their then prosperous condition
through entrusting political power
to the Democratic party in both
the administrative and legislative
branches of the government. In
exchange for the confidence and
power thus given it, that party
gave, within six months, the work
ing people of the country the most
frightful dose of general calamity
it had ever experienced. Within
less than one year after the indus
trial workers had decided, in No
vember of 1892, not to let well
enough alone, prosperity had set
like the sun, there was a vast army
of unemployed men, and misery
and starvation reigned among tens
of thousands previously well to do.
The suddenness and complete
ness with which this terrible change
was wrought in the fortunes of the
American people, furnished a fear
fully bitter lesson. But it is les
son that is better for US to hold in
vivid remembrance at this time
rather than learn. it all over again
by taking another dose of De-
mocracy mixed with Bryanism.
A search through the files of al
most any leading newspaper in the
United States during the four
winters following the Democratic
Of 1893, 1894, 1895 and
1896 would show endless accounts
of the heart-rending and awful
want that followed the closing of
the mills, the wreckage of banks,
and the destruction of confidence
by the Democratic party.

The Insults To Gov. Roosevelt.

The treatment accorded Cover
nor Roosevelt at Victor and Salida
will do the state infinite harm
throughout the country. In affairs
of this kind new states and new
communities are likely to be judged
as a whole by the acts of few
political hoodlums. The decent
people of both cities resent the oc-
currences just as emphatically as
any people possibly can and it is
unfortunate that the good name of
the two cities in question will have
to suffer from the riotous acts Of
few embryo anarchists. But no
less insulting and uncalled for was
the "open letter" addressed by the
governor of Colorado to Governor
Roosevelt. The masses of the
people are not responsible for the
creation and actions of mobs, but
they do make governors. Officials
rightfully imbued with state pride
and having proper sense of the
proprieties of their station are al
ways mindful of the fact that they
are serving in a representative
capacity and that they are supposed
to represent the whole people and
not a faction or a party. Particu-
larly is this true in the courtesies
which are expected to emanate
from the chief executive of great
state as tributes of the culture and
good will of polite and progress
i've commonwealth. The discount
eous action of Governor Thomas
was equally as rude and uncouth
as that of the mobs, for better de-
pertinent was to be expected of
him. Both have been injurious to
to the state and both should and
will be rebuked by its people.

Hon. Frank c. Goudy.

AS the campaign progresses, 1t
is becoming more and more evi-
dent that the Republicans made no
mistake when they nominated
Frank g. Cloudy for governor.
The gentleman is enthusiastic
ally received wherever he goes,
and in every speech he delivers he
carries conviction to the hearts of
his hearers that, if elected, he will
be governor of all ofthe people and
that he will carry out all the
pledges made by him to the full
extent of their meaning.
Mr.. Goudy is business man of
wide experience and systematic
methods as well as lawyer of ex-
ceptional ability. The revenues of
the state will give no trouble when
he is governor, and no insulting
"open letters" to visiting COVER
nors will be issued during his term
of service.
1t is gratifying to note the
splendid reception given Mr..
Cloudy in this county, where he
lived for many years and where he
really began his notable public ca
reer in this state.

Bryan says that the present

1--WE must stop borrowing money

nations with good credit.
The Elk Mountain pilot., 1900-10-02

From a nation of borrowers we
have become a lending nation, and
interest rates are cheaper today in

paying bonds in time of war, all of
which proves that the claim of ma
tional prosperity is based on sub
stantial facts.
