STATE POLITICS

OF interesting character The tour of inspection
the state by Chairman Milton Smith and Judge Mullins has
caused uneasness in the chamber councils Of
state Democracy. These gentlemen set to visit the
various county organizations of the the
time to look into the liberty league question They found
no difficulty in confirming their suspicious that they had
been nicely trapped by Mr. Haywood the thrifty Socialist
political general who liberty league
movement. They found that the liberty leagues which
they supposed were Democratic auxiaries chiefly
composed of Socialists and in the complete control
of Socialist agtators Mr. Smith trying figure out
what benefit the Democratic party from these
liberty leagues unless that party and the Socialist
fuse
1t be said that contribution from the treasury
of the Western Federation of Miners to the Democratic
campaign fund sufficient excite the suspicious Of
the conservative Democratic leaders who opposed to
any combination with the Socialists and perhaps it did,
but the fact is that both the radical conservative
leaders that the liberty league movement
fake from the start and nothing less than
Socialist movement organized and controlled by the So
calist leaders with the aid of the Democratic organiza
ton. Mr.. Haywood. by batting
button. has succeeded in selling the Democrats gold
brick and in return has been able to drag large number
OF radical Democratic voters Socialism
Campaign Opened In Denver.
The Democratic papers which making desperate
effort to convince the people that the Republican party
split wide very much disconnected the
Republican leaders of the alleged factions sitting
side the platform at the recent big rat1 meet
ing in Denver and joining heartily in the Ise which
greeted the telling points made by speakers
Senator Mason's speech strong and ginger.
Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster, whose eloque1 is known
appreciated from coast to coast made exceptionally
happy little speech and very warmly greeted by
immense audience Mrs Foster has placed charge
OF the political work among the the suffrage
states by the national committee with headquarters at
the Brown Palace hotel Denver Mrs. Foster is an or
ganizer of marked ability, demonstrated in this
state in 1894 when she held position respon
sibtlty under the national committee.
Republican Activity.
The activity of the Republican committee and the
tremendous of Chairman Farley proved very
dsconcerting to the Democratic leaders Republican
campaign of education opened entirely too early to
please them The state committee is entirely thorough
ana vigorous In peecng the organization and preparing
for the campaign to meet with their approval
Where the indications point contests in the Re-
publican primaries these charge the Republicans
with putting up sates In those precincts
where friendly contests likely at the prima
res they gloat what they claim regard dscord
and factonalsm. and about alleged boilers
The truth that the activity of the Republican organiza
ton during the past month has thrown confusion into the
ranks OF Its opponents The Democratic leaders
defensive and all the they to offer is to find
fault with the details of the Republican organization
Large quantities of campaign literature have been sent
out during the past and the result has been
most encouraging Public interest in has been
aroused to high pitch and the law sentiment
Is increasing Dy leaps and bounds 1t is only question
getting the facts before the They be depended
upon to see that the right side prevails.
AS to "Extravasance"
The legislature of 1899. during the adminstra
ton appropriated $4,000 fund.- $780,
900 of which legislative printing was all gone
before September, 1900.
The legislature of 1901, during the Orman administra
ton, appropriated 100000 for general incidental fund
s26000 Of which for legislative printing another
sum of $255O0, which called incidental fund.-
which was really meant to the debts already con-
tracted by the two previous Democratic administrations
for maintenance of state institutions. The $4,000
used, and about 100000 of the bigger fund besides.
The legislature of 1903, during the Peabody admins
tration appropriated $4,000 the general incidental
fund 100000 of which for printing there plenty
of left to the for the of this
period This is sample of the socalled Republican
travagance."
OBTAINING Dangerous Characters.
The question Of whether the governor, while
suppressng rioters nsurrecon has the right
tain dangerous characters, which the af
rmative by the Supreme Court of state ably dis
cussed at the bar meeting Colorado Springs Wednes
day by Hon. Joel S. Vae of Denver. supports
the Supreme Court in its decision and concurs in the
views of the three Democratic law which the Su-
Court consulted before rendering opinion. Mr.
Vale showed clearly that the governor having the
authority to determine when insurrection the
to it, must also have the power detain
those who engaged in it until the public excitement
is and peace and good order fully restored.
1t must be clear anyone who will give matter
moments thought that If the privilege of
be used to loose rioters insurrectionsts
who arrested during the of nsurrection
