1t is the purpose of the campaign
committee in Mesa county of the Re-
publican party. from what has already
been published. to persist in asserting
that the Democratic party of the state
has endorsed the actions OF Meyer of
the Western Federation of Miners, So
cialism and anarchism. The state
ment is SO palpably false that it hard
ly needs disavowal. The leading
Democrats of the state. such as Charles
S. Hughes. Alva Adams and Senator
Patterson have taken the stump in the
state and spoken Enthusiastically against
socialism and have refused, SC far as
they were personally concerned and
have even denounced oven the contem-
plation of any alliance with socialism.
But it is true that every railroad man
in this and every other county in the
state will refuse to appluad or second

cerity in pretending to uphold union

state is concerned.
