POLITICAL

We are of the opinion that state
politics are not discussed freely enough
before election in Colorado. The peo-
pie know TOO little of the men nomi-
mated and elected to office. 1t has
been only little while since the last
state election. less than two years,
and one set Of men then running, Were
elected, yet we dare say there is not
a reader of The Record who can name
off, without considerable thinking,
the people who We're on either ticket
at that time. Very few could have
done it the night after they voted.
This condition comes about, nc
doubt, from the custom of both parties
nominating their tickets only about
six weeks before election. In times
of fusion the tickets We're not fully
made up, sometimes until eight days
before election.
Owing to the nature of things the
tickets have been selected largely by a
few city people. The state in general
knows practically nothing about the
nominees, and in the swift short cam
paigns that follow, they learn very
little. The people vote as sentiment
and prejudice dictate, and if a yellow
dog or Chinaman We're on the win
ming ticket he would be pulled
through about as easily rs the best
man in the state.
This condition could be remedicd
to large degree by having the nomi-
nation made earlier in the season.
They ought to be made in June or
Juy. To do this however, law
would have TO be enacted by the
Legislature. With four or five
months campaign the peolpe would
have time for serious thought and
deliberate consideration. The party
policies and various candidates could
be discussed calmy and free from the
dizzy whirlwind of haste that has
marked the recent campaigns, For
the candidates such a campaign need
not be more expensive, but it would
give them an opportunity OF getting
more widely acquainted and better
known.
The Republican party has much to
gain by such change. 1t has always
been the intelligent clean party Of the
nation and its campaigns of education
have usually been winners. If the
state campaign had been two months
longer in 1900, the Republican ticket
might have won.
If the nominations could be made
next month and the two tickets go be.
fore the people for a clean, fair fight
with enough time for the personnel
of the tickets to be carefully com
pared, and the policies and records of
the parties thoroughly dissected, the
Republicans would be rs sure of vic
tory as they are in Pennsylvania and
Kansas.
But the fusion parties will not let
such change be made. They are
afraid Of the light and Of the oppor-
tunity for Investigation.

very little of that old time talk about
Republicans coming back to the
i fold - The reasoni is they have all
come back and there are no more COM
ing to talk about.
| No party at any time is absolutely
| free from the contention and dis
turbances of rival party leaders, but
there has never been a year in Colo
RADIO politics when the Republican
party was more united and deter
mined upon state victory than right
now Everywhere in the state you
hear it and it is generally becoming
understood that this is a Republican
year.
The Thomas wing of the Demo
cratic party is having hard time to
find a suitable candidate for governor.
Thomas doesn't want Orman. He
began by pushing Bishop, the county
commissioner, of Denver. Then the
big printing steal was made public
and Bishop vas dropped like hot
brick. Now the Thomas people are
grooming Judge Simpson of Cripple
Greek, and the Orman Democrats de-
clare thev will pinch the Simpson
bubble harder than they did Bishops.
They are going TO let him get "A little
higher, however, so he will have fur
ther to drop.
State Chairman Farley OF Colorado
Springs, has been making some trips
ont over the state and he is exceeding
ly well pleased with the outlook for
the Republican party. Mr.. Farley
is starting in to make an ideal chair
man He is one of the most successful
business men in Colorado Springs and
has absolutely no interest in politics,
except to see the party, in whose
principles he believes, become success
full. Mr.. Farley is in no manner a
place hunter-in fact, there is pro-
badly no place in the state he would
accept if handed him on gold
platter. Mr.. Farley is one OF those
few good business men who become
active In politcis.

Paul Sours of Denver, is spoken OF as
"A candidate for state treasurer on the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Sours has
been city treasurer of Denver and
county treasrer of Arapshoe county,
so has had. considerable experience in
taking care of other peoples money.

Charles L. Dickinson of kiowa
county has number OF Republican
friends who are pushing him for at
torney general. Mr.. Dickinson has
been in the legislature during the past
few years and with his ability as
lawyer and orator, has made it rather
interesting for the almost unanimous
majority in the house. II on the
ticket he would undoubtedly be a good
campaigner.
