no boycott will be needed to eventual

Senator Patterson certainly cannot
be counted an enemy to the state
nor to the business interests of the
state. Few in Colorado have larger
financial interests than he. and some
people are not wont to quarrel with
their bread and butter. His papers
may be radical along lines closely
skirting Socialism. but to charge them
or their editor with being inimical
to public order is folly.

Mayor Speer has the ability and
we believe the desire to give Denver
the best administration of her histo-
ry. Denver being the main portion of
Colorado as far as votes are concerned
it is of great Importance to Democracy
that all goes well there. Mr.. Speer
is in position to make himself about
the biggest man in Colorado. for the
