tion of unions along all lines. The en-
ploying interests of this state will not
allow Meyer to dictate. They will
fight 1t out in the beginning and the

has been one succession of failures.

There is no straddling the issue
this fall. 1t is either Peabody or Moy-
erism. With Hughes or any other
Democrat nominated it makes no diff
ference. The defeat of Peabody would
be heralded throughout the east as a
Meyer victory and Colorado cannot
afford to be classed as an anarchistic
state. 1t will retard our growth and
keep capital out of the state and pre-
vent those owning property from de
veloping same. The Herald. therefore,
cannot see why any man having the
interests of the state at heart. can
vote against Peabody. It's matter OF
self preservation.
