A CANTRAST.

The News affects to sueer at Frank
lin Brooks, Republican candidate for
ongressman-at-large, as a newcomer
to Colorado He has lived here just
twelve years. The editor of the News
after two years residence became
candidate for delegate in congress.
Honors are therefore easy on this
score.
There are things which Mr.. Brooks
has not done. He has not, for in
stance, been chronic Office seeker.
He has not subordinated the good of
the state as governor to his own sell
fish ambition to be senator. He has
not winked at his brother voting sheep
to keep himself perpetually in office.
and he has not thrust himself for
ward as the only simon-pure friend
of the people, while that same
brother has been the most ac-
tive. persistent and effective
friend of the corporations who ever
sat in the state senate. He has not
set himself on a pedestal of pure
morality while another brother has
managed the Denver fire and police
board in his political interest, traffick-
ing with criminals, wringing unwilling
campaign contributions from the scar
let women, the brothel keepers and
the owners of dives and deadfalls.
All of these things he leaves for his
pharasaical opponent, Alva Adams, to
do.
He has not done and could not be
hired to do any of these things. He
is plain, law abiding American citi-
| zen, man of good character, who is
highly respected in the community in
| which he lives and lawyer of talent
who can take care of himself under
any circumstances. If elected he will
take his rightful place with the major
ity OF his party in congress. If the
people need him they will have a
friend at court who can work effect
lively in their interest and who
singlehanded, can do more for Colo
RADIO than our present entire delega
ton rolled into one.
And this is why NJ. Brooks should
and will be elected Colorado's con
at-large.-Denver Republi

A WORD FOR A. REX MoLLErTE


Ten or twelve years ago Mr.. Mol
iette and | attended the same school
OF shorthand in Denver; we have also
at different times held the same posi-
uon' and | am fully aware of the
esteem in which he is held by his
teachers and employers. He is one of
the honest. energetic. hard.working.
conscientious kind, who,
While their companions sleep,
Is toiling upward in the night"
He used shorthand as stepping-
stone to the profession of law, work
ing every day to support himself and
family. burning midnight oil and por-
ing over Blackstone and Parsons. or
attending evening classes or lectures
at the University.
The stun OF which Mr.. Mollette Is
made is the same grade and brand as
that which made Lincoln out of the
railsplitter or which made Car.
iieid out of the poor mule-driver on
the canal boat He, too, has served
the apprenticeship which makes him
forever the poor mans friend, as were
Garfield and Lincoln.

1t is not question of men so much
as party in connection with the cleo
ton of commissioners this fall. We
know that good men have found it
necessary TO stay with their party.
Mr.. Thompson will naturally desire to
work with Mr.. Bradley. There will
be county attorney to elect along
with other appointments; there will
be road overseers to select and many
other party measures in which the
two will seek to work together and
this means general alliance along
all lines of county legislation. Do the
farmers and others who have had
their taxes increased want continu-
ance of the same old policy that has
placed La Plata county on a warrant
basis? We do not believe so, hence
the belief that both Morgan and
Gaines will be elected by an indig-
nant people. OF course, if you are

Colorado industry. when Bell was
here the other night he said il there

he would be satisfied with a reduction
on beet sugar, and this is the situation
in nutshell The Democratic party
favors free trade OF the Cleveland
idea. and Mr.. Bell ami the rest of the
congressional nominees running with
him will vote for a reduction on su.
gar and aid in destroying The indus
try in this state. We all know that
Mr. Bell voted against the Dingley
bill which restored prosperity to this
country and made the raising OF su.
gar beets profitable. The claim that
Teller saved the tariff on sugar beets
is preposterous in the face of n Re
publican majority In the senate of
about twenty. Let the hands of the
Republican party be strengthened and
there will be some object in eastern
Republicans extending aid 10 Colora-
do industries, but what can be expect
ed when our people elect representa-
tives who vote against eastern protec-
ton? Is it any wonder eastern Re
publicans turn around and vote
against western interests? This is
what can be expected if Colorado con
tinues. to send Democrats to congress.
True, Governor Adams is posing as
better than his party and back of this
is his brother Frank Adams who is
responsible for the police padding the
registration books of Arapahoe coun-
ty through the police and fire boards.
Mr. Adams stationed his policemen
around the big registration booths to
run in Republicans when they made
kick against the treatment accorded
them by the registration officials and
is responsible for the assaults upon
old men and Scared veterans. Alva
will be the beneficiary. And in the
face of this claim of better than

but wouldn't the claim make horned
toad laugh?
Again, Mr. Brooks was cham
pion of the eight-hour law long before
btNplhlhS an dSplIdul loI tOUBEeSS.
He believes in the rights of the labor
ing men and in improving their con
ditions. From what is known of Alva
Adams, can the same be said of him?
AS to assertions that Mr.. Brooks was
at one time a Cleveland Democrat is
one of the opposition lies in order to
influence Republicans against him.
Mr.. Brooks first vote was for James
G. Blaine, the noblest Roman of them
all. and he has been worker in be-
half of the party ever since except
during the time when Colorado people
thought it best to help Bryan and thus
advance silver, but since issue of SO
was buried Mr.. Brooks has been for
building up Colorado and not retard-
ing our general progress.
The Herald, therefore, trusts that
its readers will see that Mr.. Brooks is
on their list, as he viii not be dis
appointment and will be able to ac-
complish much more for Colorado
than any Democrat in the land.
Durango semi-weekly herald., 1902-11-03

1t is important for Colorado to elect
Republicans to congress. We have in
terests that need protection. Can We
expect eastern Republicans to vote to
retain protection when we send men
to congress to vote against eastern
interests? These are questions that
should be studied. Bell talked about
Roosevelt favoring reduction on SUI
gar. and he became wrathy at the
thought, but he failed to state that he
had voted against the Dingley bill and

eminently qualified for the place. He

The Herald feels that it is the duty
of every citizen interested in the pro-
gress and welfare OF the state to vote
for Mr.. Brooks as he represents the
rising generation and will make him
self and the wants OF Colorado heard

it is claimed that Brooks is an un-
known quantity, but it seems as
though the endorsement accorded
him by the people of Ell Paso coun-
ty and the fact that several other as.
pirants stepped aside owing to his rec
ognized ability, should be sufficient to
satisfy voters on this point.
Mr.. Brooks has been a resident of
the state for something over twelve
years and has been closely Identified
with mining and other interests In
