Why THE STATE CAMPAIGN
is DULL, WITHOUT A SPARK
rom the Denver Post

rom the Denver Post.
Stelle. the cartoonist, has a picture
oday that will appeal to every person
Who remembers the campaigns OF 1896
nd 1900.
1t is easy to explain why the ma
ional contest is so sensationally dull.
t is not the fault of the Republicans
that must be admitted. They are
n power and awaited attack
The condition is one of the Republi-
ans being unable to assault an enc
ny that won't stand up and fight, and
whose chief point as Senator Dolliver
'aid last night, is that, having been
discharged. after eight years, as cur
ID. from the political sanitarium, is
Untitled to job.
The American public is the boss.
VIII it discharge the party which has
served, safely and sanely for eight
Jears. and take on the party that has
certificate of cure from doubtful po-
'itical doctors, chiefly notable for los
ng cases. and nothing besides. ex-
'ept a Waldorf-Astoria haircut?
1t is hardly worth discussing, except
% marvel as Senator Dolliver said at
he Coliseum, that one man has been
iound, in the entire country who did
not know anything about the grand
-ow of 1896, in which every man. wo-
man and child in the land were en-
gaged-Judge Parker, the only one.
Of course the national campaign is
insipid.
The most interesting query is, why
is the Colorado state campaign dead?
The answer is that the issue was
one that two able bodied men. of op-
posite views, couldn't discuss with
out coming to blows. and so boIn
sides tried to argue all around It,
with the result of nothing even re-
motely exciting
1t was foregone conclusion that
the nomination of Alva Adams. by
the Democrats. against Peabody would
take all the sparkle, all the ginger and
all the human interest out of the
campaign.
