Republicans Start the Campaign

dates at the train and introduced them
in every business place in the city. In
the afternoon the opera house was not
in shape for the reception and crowds
gathered on every street corner to
greet the nominees of the Republican
convention at Denver. Democrats did
not hesitate to state to Mr.. Peabody
that they proposed to cast their bal
lots for him and for the state ticket.
AT train time in the evening it was
discovered that nearly 100 tickets had
been sold for the excursion to George
town and jolly gathering, headed
by the band, made the start for the
county seat. At all the stations along
the line recruits were added until it
was apparent that fully $50 people
would be unloaded at Georgetown for
the rally that evening. And the
county seat furnished its quota Loyalty.
When the speakers entered the opera
house fully 400 people were present
and waiting. After the adjournment
Of the Democratic caucus another 100
was added to the crowd that cheered
the sentiments that fell from the lips
of the representatives of Republican
ism.
Frank c. Goudy's address was a
gem of logic, oratory and general ex-
cellence. He did not appeal to the
passions and prejudices of the people
but hit straight from the shoulder so
that there could be no mistaking the
business elements of his address. 1t
was argument and logic that will set
the people thinking. Colonel Franklin
E. Brooks pleased the people with his
straightforward method of dealing
with public questions. He is a rapid
talker and a rapid thinker. Cheers
greeted his mention of the elements he
believed entered into the makeup of a
successful congressional representa-
tive.
Mr.. Haggot spoke briefly and
thanked the people for their kind
words and for their loyalty to him as
representative of Clear Creek
county. He was received with a splen-
did expression of enthusiasm that evil
denced the esteem in which he Is held
by the people of the county.

GOUDY
ENDORSED
FOR SENATOR

Mr. Peabody. the candidate for gov
ernor, was undoubtedly the man who
ELECTED the greatest enthusiasm. His
appearance and address created the
most favorable comment. Business
from the ground up. There is nothing
affected. He talks business and is a
man who can transact business. His
remarks were not abusive, but to the
point and positively straightforward.
Mr.. Cowie, Mr.. Holmberg and all the
rest thanked the audience for their
expressions of esteem and promised
that they would see that their offices
were conducted as servants of the
people should conduct them.
In introducing all the candidates
Mr.. Sabin, who presided, was extreme
ly happy and made some telling points
that brought down the house.
There were many ladies present and
they appeared to enjoy the sound, sub
stantial and honest ideas expressed.
1t was an indication that the ladies'
will participate in the present cam
paign in earnest and that they will be
loyalty in line for better government
in county and state.
The success of the ratification at
Georgetown is largely due to the ef-
forts of DR.. Haeseler and the other
loyal Republican workers in the upper
end of the county. They are tireless
toilers for the success of the ticket
and are finding the people again ready
and willing to work with them in the
battle for better government.
In this issue we have devoted con-
siderable space to politics because it
was the occasion of the opening of the
Republican campaign, and because
conditions are so flattering for success
in the county.

Business Ideas of COIOradO's
Next Executive.

The following extracts are taken
from the address of Mr.. James H.
Peabody, the Republican candidate
for governor, in his address to the
voters at Georgetown last Saturday
evening:
My friends, Mr.. Brooks, the
speaker who preceded me, told you
of the method employed by the
Democrats and members of the fu-
sion compact in gerrymandering the
various districts. He told you how
they had placed a county of one
political faith against one of an
other so that in the election the
people of but one county are given
representation according to their
political belief. This is deplorable,
but the most lamentab1e gerry
Wandering has been done with the
states finances. The charitable and
penal institutions have been almost
compelled to close their doors for
want of funds. The state has been
placed in the position of a beggar
where it was compelled to beg and
borrow money of the banks and
rich individuals. The soldiers home,
the asylum where our afflicted and
unfortunate insane are kept, and
all these places have been COM
PEELED to either close their doors or
borrow the funds necessary to sus-
tain them.
In my way of thinking the state
is not unlike any other great corpo-
ration and its executive officers
should be asked to conduct its
affairs along similar lines. The
people are the stockholders in the
corporation and their profit and loss
is contingent largely upon the sue
cess or failure of the officers charged
with the management of the affairs
of the corporation.
l am not an orator-but a bust
ness man. If elected | shall place
Colorado on a business basis and
shall insist that the officers acting
in conjunction with me shall exer-
else the same care and caution and
good business judgment that the
necessities demand. l can make
you no stronger pledge than this
and the platform upon which ac-
cepted the nomination.
Idaho Springs siftings., 1902-10-04

the amendments become a part of the
constitution of the state.
The people can appreciate the law
that cuts out half the election ex-
penses of the state and brings the time
for holding the county elections on
the date of the state or general cleo
tions. This law will make it four
hour day for the politician, but Colo
RADIO has enjoyed too much politics in
the past. Business will take its place
in the future.
1t has taken fusion and Democracy
eight years, with broken promises and
broken pledges, to place the people of
Denver in a position where they can
govern themselves. Adams, Thomas
and Orman appointed officials to gov
ern the people of Denver, without
the consent of the governed" and now
the Republicans will vote for the pass
age of the amendment and compel
whatever party succeeds to power to
permit this right to the people.
The Democratic party, in neither it's
platform utterances nor in it's legis-
lative work while in power has accom-
plished anything toward the restric-
ton or destruction of the pernicious
smelter trust. The Republican party
steps in and says it will do it's duty.
The platform of the Republicans of
Clear Creek county is plain spoken.
1t tells the truth regarding fusion. 1t
declares openly and above board for
its choice for United States senator,
it does not hesitate to condemn the
trust that is affecting the product of
its mines. Everything is called by its
right name. The party stands before
the people free from the taint of any
clique or condition. 1t is free to ex-
press its sentiments and loyalty to the
interests of every voter in the county.
It has nominated a ticket that is as
clean as it would be possible to make
one. The record of the party is above
question or reproach.

CAPITAL
COMING
70 US
Representative Minine
Man Expresses His
Ideas.

A. R. Saylor of Philadelphia, Pa, one of the
best known mining men of the east, and man who
knows good thing when he sees it, arrived in the
city Wednesday. In speaking of the Idaho Springs
district as place for investment he had the fol-
lowing to say: "It is fact that Idaho Springs as
safe place to make mining investments. is becom-
ing more popular every day. The people of the
east, and especially in Pennsylvania now recognize
ehis Secuon as the best IN the state. 1 might even
go farther than that and say that they think it is
the oest III the world Capital is seeking good in
Vestnients In mining and it wants to come to this
oiS'rct' because 1t is known that you have gold at
your doors. Money lenders who have been glad to
get two per cent now want to buy Idaho SPRINGS
mining property, because they know that they can
profit over the eastern investments and secure at
least from ten to twenty per cent"

CORNER
Appropriate Services to
be Held Tuesday by
the MaSOnS.

1t has finally been decided that the laying of
the corner stone of the school building shall
take place next Tuesday October T. at 1880 O'Clock
lin the afternoon.
The services will be under the auspices of the
Masonic fraternity of this CITY, and it has been so
arranged that several of the grand officers of the
state will be present and take part in the cere-
monies.
The affair promises to be one of the biggest of
Its kind ever held in this section of the state.
Mr.. W. L. Bush of this city, who was in at
tendance at the session of the grand lodge in Denver
extended an invitation to the members of that body
asking them to assist in the services.
An elaborate program is being arranged and adj
|dresseses will be made by a number of prominent
|people Grand Master Marshal H. Dean will per-
Eorrn the Masonic services, assisted by Grand Sec
|retarv VIM D. Todd of Denver, Grand Chaplin
ANDREW Armstrong of Fort Collins and other MEM
|bers of the order.
The school children will take an active part in
he dedication and the affair promises to be one
one to be remembered.
IT was announced time ago that the SER
|ces would take place, but owing to the fact that
he contractor could not have premises ready it was
|,ecessarv to postpone the exercises.

SMELTER
TRUST
CONDEMNED

1t looked like a return of old times
both in respect to the party and in
respect to the people-the return of
the sentiment favorable to Republican
ism and the return of the party to the
great principles of the past.
A resolution indorsing Frank C.
Goudy for the United States senate, a
resolution condemning the smelter
trust and pledging the candidate for
the Legislature to work and vote for
a law to aid in it's suppression, large
crowd of enthusiastic people to again
cheer the declarations of the old party
and a most cordial and enthusiastic
reception of the candidates on the
state ticket made last Saturday ap-
pear as a good days work for the sue
cess of the party in Clear Greek
county.
1t pleases the people of the state
and county to again be able to march
under the old banner and know that it
represents real Republicanism. 1t
pleases them to be able to know that
it is again stripped of all strings. That
its shackles have been broken, that
no fetter binds it to any one man or
to any clique of men.
The people look with pride upon the
state platform, which indorses the
eight-hour law and gives the toiler in
the mine, the mill and at the bench
the same right to enjoy life that any
American citizen should have. They
want to see every American have the
time to enjoy a part of his life with
his family and in the midst of his
own home. Democracy has promised
this and failed. Forced to show down
it submitted the amendments and
loyal Republicans will see to it that
