The daily sentinel., 1900-10-05

to the condition OF affairs in the city OF
Denver.
He raped Gov. Thomas. the fire and
police board and the manner in which
policemen were occupying their time in
working politics, while defenseless wo-
men right in the heart Of the city were
being murdered simply because these
policemen were working politics, and
not because the men who did the act Of
murder had an object and would have
murdered had the policemen not have
been working politics.
What he would do in the way Of re-
form, if he was elected governor, and for
the purpose of permitting those who fol-
low him to know what he would do, that
they might be informed, he outlined un-
der four heads as part Of his policy. 1t
was:
First-Rigid retrenchment in state ex
penses.
Standardization Of the revenue laws
Of the state, which he stated he thought
from his experience as an attorney and
as the district attorney OF the largest
county in the state that he knew the
needs of the state and that if they would
vote him a republican legislature he
would pledge himself to tax the fran
chises OF the great corporations, which
he believed should be taxed. Here he
told OF the position taken by Judge Pc
ter Palmer, In deciding that there were
no means of collecting from the corpora
tions. But for Mr. Goudy's benefit we
can say in passing that the law he quot
ed OF the tangiability Of the franchises is
part OF an editorial in the Rocky Noun
tain News, which Mr.. Goudy must have
read very attentively as he quoted the
statement OF the lawyer head of that
publica ion almost exactly, when he at
tackled the Palmer decision.
Third-He pledged himself for home
rule for the city of Denver. To take
away the evil effect of the Fire and Po-
lice boards in politics, in city and state.
Fourth-So far rs the laboring inter-
ests OF the state are concerned to better
their condition and to work to the end
that an eight hour day law may become
part Of the constitution Of the state and
in that way be settled forever.
He then announced that he would
square himself away for a discussion OF
the Philippine question and its connec-
ton with Farmer Bryan.
Mr.. Goudy took about the same line
OF thought in this, as the preceding
speaker 30 it is unnecessary to quote him
in this. He made many statements
which will not bear the light Of record
or OF history in their connection with
facts actually occurring, especially in
that part OF his speech referring to the
Beers. 1t is very easy to make state
ments upon the platform, when it is
known that they will go uncontradicted
and because the general public is not al,
ways fully Informed on the subject un-
der discussion.
Hershel M. Hogg, candidate for
congress followed Mr.. Goudy
There is only one Hogg, and in his way
he is wit. He is out for John G. Bells
scalp, but we hardly think that the Hogg
will be good hunter in Bells case and
that he will have time to tell more good
stories at Telluride, before he will tell
them in the cloak room of the house al
Washington.
The meeting made no votes whatever,
is our humble judgment and if the
state central committee OF the republi-
can party will only let or secure VIM. NJ.
Stewart to travel through this state
from now until election we will guaran'
tee Mr.. Bryan hundred thousand ma
jority.
