The Paramount Issue.

While there may be a great deal of
discussion and difference Of opinion
in eastern cities relative to the promi-
hence of this or that issue in the cam
paign, the paramount issue in the state
Of Colorado is the retirement of Ed
ward O. Wolcott from the Senate of the
United States. The temper of the peo-
pie of this state has been well illus
trated in the Roosevelt tour and in
which the governor of New York was
made the innocent victim of the wrath
which the people were endeavoring to
vent upon the junior senator Of this
state. No man is more cordially detest-
ed and despised than he. and even Re
publicans of lifelong standing find
Wolcott the worst dish Of crow which
they have had in many years.
He has never failed when it suited
his purpose or when he was out of tenn
per, to heap obloquy and insult upon
the people whom he was alleged to rep
resent, and has at various times and
in divers manners shown biz utter con-
tempt for those prmcipleAhof political
economy which the people Of Colorado
most cherish His record in Congress
has been a continuous series Of betray
ais of the trusts reposed in him by the
people of this state, and all for politi-
cal power and pelf.
The Telegraph yesterday discussed
the nomination of the four fusion can
didates for the General Assembly,
Messrs Seldomridge, Montgomery,
Hollenbeck and Sprayue. While there
are many things which will require the
care and attention of these four mem
bers of the next General Assembly, the
chief and conspicuous thing which they
will be called upon to do is to ballot
upon a successor to Wolcott. Every
member of this legislative ticket is
pledged to vote and work against him,
and if there was absolutely nothing
else which could commend them to the
people of Ell Paso and Teller counties,
this one pledge should be sufficient.
The people of Colorado Springs ought
not, cannot and will not vote for a leg
islative ticket whose members will vote
to return such man as Wolcott to the
United States Senate The shifty, evas-
i've, brutal Wolcott. It is inconceiv-
able that the women Of Colorado
Springs are going to send men to the
Legislature who will cast their ballots
for such man as Wolcott.
His abandonment of bimetallism is
only one Of the conspicuous ways In
which he has misrepresented the peo-
pie Of Colorado, and despite his bull
doing, beating, vote-purchasiRg
methods, he is going to be rebuffed in
a signal manner by the decent and in
dependent citizens Of Colorado this
fall.
The feeling against him will be
shown better in the vote on the legis-
lative ticket than on anything else, and
the majority against him ought to be
SO decisive that it will forever remove
him from the sphere of Colorado poll
tics. The people of this city and coun-
ty will be called upon to do their share
in RELOCATING Wolcott to oblivion, and
the Telegraph does not doubt for a mo-
ment that they will gladly do it,-Colo-

would be unpatriotic and ill-advised to
advertise them to the world, but when
the fact is known that warrants are
at par and investors bidding to secure
them, the offense of the senator against
the good name of Colorado merits Sc
we're condemnation Sparks.
Those who were with Bryan in 1896
on the money question, and have left
him this year, are not explaining their
political conduct to the full satisfaction
of themselves or their friends. The
noise about the "honor of the flag" is
falling pretty fiat even when made by
so prominent man as Roosevelt. The
greatest men in the Republican party
say that Hanna, Mckinley and Roose-
welt are working towards an empire.
Sherman, Edmunds and Reed are not
traitors. They are the brainiest states
men in the Republican party. Our
friends need not go outside of their
own party to find the best authority
for contradicting the Roosevelt-Wolcott
alarms sounded to enlist the sympa-
thies of those who are easily excited
and thoughtless.- Democrat.
The really most vital question before
Colorado voters at the coming election
is not the election of Bryan and Stew
enson, but whether Senator Wolcott
shall be given another term in which
to misrepresent the people whom he
has so shamefully betrayed in the past.
That with Coloradoans is the para
mount issue. His defeat is not mat
ter of revenge for past offenses, but
matter of necessity, if the real SEN
timent of this state is to be properly
construed in the Senate of the United
States. The Senator is entirely out of
touch with the true sentiments Of a
large majority of the people of the
state. He does not represent a single
interest common with his constituents.
1t would be becoming act on the part
of Senator Wolcott to resign from a
position that to man of honest pur-
poses would long since have proven
distasteful, but the Senator is not cast
in such a mold, and it will be neces-
sary to knock him out. This intention
should be made manifest with empha-
sis.-Trinidad Monitor.
In his speech at Denver, Governor
Roosevelt said: "The states where la
Dor is best protected are those which
usually elect Republican executives and
legislators" Surely the man stamps
himself as the ridiculous freak that he
is depicted when he makes such state
ments as that. Is not Pennsylvania
the surest Republican state in the
Union? and the horrible conditions Of
labor as shown up by the present strike
Of 10000 coal miners should make
even Mr.. Roosevelt blush with shame.
Then Homestead and Hazelton will
never be forgotten by American labor
ers. What about the shooting Of Ital-
ian workmen last year in New York
by state militiamen? The Italians were
compelled to strike for the enforcement
Of the state law fixing the hours Of
employment on public works, and Ted
dy's militia made them go back to
work at the point Of the bayonet.
What about the miserable and inhuman
conditions in the sweatshops and facto-
ries of New York, Massachusetts, and
other New England states, whose des-
TIMES are all controlled by Republican
officials PUEBLO Courier.
