A LESSON.

The recent election should be les
son to cowardly Colorado Democracy,
two years ago Judge Goddard was
shelyed because he dared decide cases
,ccording 10 the way he constructed
he law, refusing to be guided by the
whip OF Tom Patterson.
AT the same time Judge Goddard
was shelved 1t was said that the next
man 10 be straight jacketed for DEFY
ing Tom Patterson, would be Judge
Campbell The Republicans took up
he cudgel. 1hey refused to shy at
imaginary ghosts. Campbell was nom
mated We all know the result.
There is "a moral 10 this: 1t does
not pay TO be cowardly. 1t does not
pay to give out the impression thot
The judiciary must be subservient to
politicians or lose their jobs.
The voters OF Colorado are to c

THE 1903 ELECTIONS.

Dor troubles. The Democrats met

intelligent voters. The Republicans
always frank and ayowed friends OF
the interests Of the masses, did not
mince words, and named man whose
well-inown fitness made 1t an easy
task tor them to vote the ticket and
endorse the platform.
The majority again indicates that

OF course Democrats who are In
politics will take solace out OF the re
turns from New York. Well, If there
is any pleasure in this we are willing
to permit them to indulge to their
hearts content. No one ever looked
upon the fight as political one, be
ing solely whether the people of thai

or Tammany corruptionists to prevail
In this no one questions the integrity
of the men selected by Tammany and
it is barely possible they will fool the

it is questionable as Tammany will

extent.
The retention of Nebraska in the
Republican column against the strong

of that state have essayed Democracy
and Populism.
