i Aftet Declaring adherence to the prin-;
cip1es ok TIE National Republican par
~, commentling the administrators OF
President Roosevelt and denOuncing
Fusion rule in Colorado, the platform
adopted by the c0nveation says: @
'sThe sentiment of the people has
been growing stronger each year in IA
vor Of absolute and unqualified home
rule for every Colorado city, and the
last Fusion Legislature, after having
dallied and delayed about the enacting
OF any home rule legislation for SIX
years, has finally submitted to the
people constitutional amendment to
be voted upon this fall, consolidating
Arapaloe county. and the. city OF Den
yer into one government, and providing
for home rule therein, and providing
ways and means for the acquiring of
municipal ownership of public utili-
ties. WI
while that measure Is not as full
and complete and as harmonious in Its
provisions as the people would like to
have seen 1t, still it is the only meas
ure now pending which offers immedi-
ate home rule in the city Of Denver,
and which provides any method by
which-the citizens Of Denver can Ac-
qtlire ownership OF light and water
plant. Therefore, the Republican par
ty,. OF Arapahoe county In convention
assembled requests all Republicans to
support and vote for the constitutional
amendment. for the consolidation OF
Arapahoe county and the city OF Den
yer, and which IL commonly known as
'sthe Rush bill"
Two years ago the Republican par
ty Of Colorado, In It's state platform,
pledged itself to q constitutional
amendment and adequate legislation
providing for an eight-hour day for
those who work in underground mines
and In blast furnaces and smelters. A
| constitutional amendment to that eifscl
II now pending. before the people OF
the state to be voted upon at the forth.
coming election, and we urge all Re.
publicans In Arapahoe county to sup
| port and vote for the same
We also urge the Republicans of
Arapahoe county to vote for the
amendment to the state constitution,
which requires that no person shall be
entitled to vote at any election who Is
not a full citizen 0f the United States,
and who has not lived in the state for
the full period Of one year preceding
any election at which such person Of
fers to vote.
I'VE also urge the Republicans of
Arapahoe county to vote for and sup
port the pending constitutional amend
ments providing for biennial elections
of all state and county officers, and
thus doing away with an annual. cleo
tion for county officers. which involves
a heavy and useless expense to the tax
payers Of the county. .i
Eve are absolutely opposed to the
adoption of the so-called "Bucklinr
amendment to the constitution, and we
denounce the same as experimental
and revolutionary, as having ten
dency to drive capital from invest
ment in the state. and to dlsarrange all
business plans and methods for years
to come. 81
