brought to realize. When we os-
tracise ourselves, or build wall
around ourselves by anarchy. Cor
will say fusion instead Of an
archy, it is more POPULAR. it is as
though you take your finger and
tie string tight around it and the
blood ceases to circulate, and IL
you keep il there long enough it
will drop of. In electing Bell and
Shsfroth to congress of the United
States, electing a populist and
democrat to the senate is like tying
string around the prosperity and
health OF the nation. II you want
to enjoy the prosperity OF the
people OF the United States we
want to see that the people Of
Colorado stand In line with the
nations government. We must
stand with the powers that be If
we want anything or We will never
get II. II you want the sugar beet
interests protected you will have to
send to congress a man who will
count for something-a man who
will have some voice with the ma
uonal government and President
Roosevelt.
Talk to me about the democrats
being interested in the gar beet
question. | am interested in these
sugar beet factories myself. l was
shown through factory by a
guide who explained to me all
about the watts, the cutters, the
crushers and the screws. but all !
knew about il when | came out was
that the beets 60 in at the back
door and sugar comes out the front
door. Ii was a homely ilIustra-
ton, but am going to use it.
Search the old democratic party
from first to last, did you ever see
beets 60 in at the back door and
sugar come out the front?
The democrat who comes to you
and tells you that he is going to
protect you is preaching against
the creed OF his party. aud he is a
deceiver want to impress upon
you the duties of every American
citizen. You ask who is a good
citizen MIR. So-ard so is a good
citizen. He obeys the law and he
is good citizen. That is all
right SO far as it goes; but # he
goes no further than that he is
not a good citizen. The merchant
who says, "Oh, cannot interefere
with politics because it will dam
age my trade" aud the lawyer who
says, "No. l will lose my clients :"
That is not good citizenship; that
is selfishness and seltishness is the
curse of the world. Let US look
at Theodore Roosevelt. Ever,
man should do as he advises-lead
strenuous life. What Is meant
by 4 strenuous lifes Why. being
a man. and If you have an opinion
live up to that opinion. There is
only one place where we all meet
as equals and that place is in the
aerna Of American politics God
did not make us all alike; he gave
some intelligence, he made some
musicians, some doctors, some
lawyers, some thieves; but here in
the arena OF politics we are all
equal. One man can love his
country as much as some other
man, and il is upon this love OF
country that the future prosperity
and safety of our country rests.
do not care what you are-be
it! be i'll II you are a democrat
from conviction, be it; il you are a
republican, be it, and do your
duty as a citizen of this great com
monwealth, and help us get rid OF
these professional politicians we
have had for the last six years.
They are dangerous. Unless you
are aroused to the danger which is
upon US and the responsibility
which rests upon yyu, and unless
