III washington Clty man who has
proved himself broad enough, big
enough to take in the whole country.
to look after the interests of the poor
as well as the rich. of the prosperous
as well as the less favored, and you
must realize that Theodore Roosevelt
has done more for the promotion of
good feeling between labor and capi-
tai than any other man who has pre-
ceded him in the White House You
ought to further realize that when a
man of that character is presiding
over the destinies of the Republic
that you owe IL to him as your duty
to yourself and your country to see to
it that the great state in which you
live is in harmony and sympathy with
him politically; that there should be
sent to congress from this state men
who will help and aid In him every
way so long as he follows out the
splendid lines that he has entered
upon, and that he has the strength
and courage to enforce. You cannot
help but remember, my Democratic
friends, when you review the splendid.

in settling one of the most difficult
strikes that ever occurred in the his
tory of this country. You cannot help
but remembering and contrasting the
actions of this peace-loving man, OF
this law-abiding man. with the action
of the last Democratic president in
settling n great strike in Chicago. by

order by the strong arm of the Ameri-
can government, by the bayonet, not
along lines of peace and fraternity
that should exist between labor and
capital In this republic.
1t is little difficult to get at Just
what the Democrats want In this cam
paign. The question of silver was
settled long ago and they know it. and
here indict any man In this great
audience who says that silver is an
issue in this campaign. Those who
says it is are demagogues A gen.
tleman is coming here next week to
make himself more common by speak
ing from the rear end of special to
the people of a state in which he has
no more interest than you or l have
in the states of Tennessee or New
York. The great optimistic Republi-
nan party is pushing ahead so rapidly
that the Democratic party cannot keep
track of them.
Mr. Goudy then reviewed the print
ing steals, both state and county as
exposed by the Rocky Mountain News
and Post. all of which is familiar to
our people, and need not be repeated
at this time; he took up the deficit
of the Thomas administration and the
extravaganza of the present admins
tration, all showing that fraud and
mismanagement has existed ever since
fusionism has prevailed.
After leaving state issues Mr.. Gou-
dy took up national topics. covering
legislation of the past few years. es-
pecially the Philippine policy of the
administration. showing that Bell
Shafroth and Teller were against
every interest of the State of Colora-
do that Teller has crossed himself
so often that it was hard now to tell
where he stood and that Colorado will
be greatly benefited by the election
of Hogg, Bonynge and Brooks.
The trust question was also gone
over, but space will not permit han
ding the same in this issue. but no
one present could doubt where Mr..
Goudy and the party stands on this
question.
At the conclusion of his remarks
Mr.. Goudy was heartily applauded and
after the meeting many remained to
shake hands with him and meet our
next lieutenant governor. Warren A.
Haggott.
