From The Cunnison Tribune
(RepubIoan,) April, IL.
1908.

Yesterday Governor Peabody
vetoed the bill appropriating SIS
600 for the maintenance of the
Guunison Normal school, pleading
as justification for such contempt
ible action lack of funds
The news was received here
with the greatest Indignation and
citizens irrespective Of party used
the strongest language in CON
demnlng the act Words within
the folds Of a dictionary are made
quate TO express our feelings in
the matter On no ground can
the governor Justify his course be
fore the people of the western
slope. The veto proves that he
has / tile regard for his word, as
he made numerous promises TO
approve the measure If II reached
him. None questioned in the
slightest that he would sign it,
The governor seems 10 forget that
there is western slope and has
vetoed the only two measures on
this side-Our normal and the
Grand county hatchery-but he
shall be remembered. He found
plenty of money TO waste ON the
World fair, $4,000 for a library
at the Greeley normal, besides in
Vulnerable other appropriations
which were of lesser consequence,
but not one cent to build up an
educational institution in a part
Of the state neglected for twenty
five years.
1t might also be added that he
found ample money to advocate
his pet canal scheme where $50
900 would have been wasted. The
least we can say is that the veto
was a most cowardly and unwar-
ranted assassination OF a deserving
and worthy prject Talk is gen
eral of holding an Indignation
meeting to secure an expression
regarding the trick.
But we are not dismaved the
judgment day approaches we
shall have the normal school de-

trine tbs We who have our money
invested % business should have the
say-so a. o. how politics should be
run. 1fesc fellows who are work
ing for esys wages can pull up in
10 minute and leave. but we must
stay sN0W, here we have the meat
in the cocoanut This is the spirit
which is actuating the un-American
mine owners of Cripple Greek and
the mean souled members Of such
citizens alliances as are supporting
Peabody. Such ideas are a survival
of the middle ages when barons
held Their sway
Another conversation overheard
was as follows A laboring man
and a prominent republican were
dlscussing the situation why,
down in Denver" said the republi-
can, "all The respectable people are
supporting Peabody, u hum SAID
the other who are the respectable
peoplesI Why why, the business
men. "Well, | like that. If it
WASH for we laborers in a thousand
and one occupations, the business
men couldn { do business a day"
But, thank the Lord, this is not
an arlstocracy or a monarchy yet,
and not only will the laborers almost
to a man rebuke such arrogance and
ignorance and short ighteduess, but
the better element of business men
know that a good wage is the life Of

GIVING DOUBLE CROSS.
Republican Caniidatss WHISPER to FRIENDS
How They Hate Peabody.

Several Of the republican candi-
dates are practicing duplicty and
whispering o. friends wherever they
dare that they are opposed to Pea
body. Wearc "deelighted' 90 know
of everyone being against him but
why not talk out loud like a man?
This working both sides Of the
street is disreputable In politics or
business. They have been n0min-
ated by party which has not only
endorsed Peabody but renominated
him for governor They are trailing
with the Peabody crowd and making
the campaign with Peabody money.
1t IS an inconsistent position and
one sav0ring Of insincerity aud un-
fairness with ones own party. A
candidate who accepts a nomination
and then kuife's a fellow candidate,
especially the most important one On
the ticket deserves the fate which
will surely overcome him We speak
Of this matter as a protection 90 our
own candidates. Of whom they thus
seek to take advantage. We are not
trying 10 regulate affairs In the
republican household. But 10 goes
without SAYING t'st this practice is
recognized as infamous politics and
will be rebuked by the managers OF
any party.

The Gunnison Republican printed
their papers Thursday as usual, but
NOT a one IS visible on our streets at
noon S turday Presumably its
editors have cancocted some tire
meudous campaign lies for the last
minute and are holding back the
edition 50 that the News Champion
cannot expose them. Republican
leaders misunderstood the temper Of
Guunis7n people if they imagine the
voters viii believe a tale which they
are afraid to let see the light Of day
until the last minute.
