nor has been: what he wanted was
an User.
| He said Bryan was going up and
down the country pleading for the
election OF Parker-no not pleading
for Pnrker's election, but rather to
preserve his identity with the party.
He said Bryan hoped Parker would
not be elected. He read an extract
from the Commoner. in which Mr.
Bryan severely scored Parker.
Parker had said that II elected he
would not ask for another term In
this he was like the little darkey boy
whose mother was trying 10 teach
him table manners The boy asked
for some "lasses." his mother cor
rected him, telling him to say mo
lasses," How can | say mo lasses'

Mr., Crank told how the Democrats
| had started out with the campaign
| issue OF money In 1892 The Issue grew
| till 1896 when the country was going
to the bow-wows II that issue was
not victorious. II did fall however.
and the country grew prosperous.
They hung onto this until 1900
when 1t failed again. and now since
Parker sent his famous telegram they
| have no sign Of money issue
They were like the Swede that came
over from the old country and got a
job from hot tamale factory He
couldn't speak English and had to
| practice on the call Of his goods. which
| hard boiled boiled eggs" He prac-
ticed until he thought he had his lit
tie piece learned and then he started
out. But when he got on the street he
forgot the words and wandered around
all night without making a sale His
employer gave him another chance
and he practiced again. hut the next
time he went out on the streets he
forgot the words again He was told
he would he given one more chance
and II he forgot again he would he flrcd
So he went ont the next night and
could not think Of his call He wand
cred around until he met another ven
der Of tamales. ealing ont. Hot Ia

| and said. Same here"
"Tf 16 to was right In 1896 II Is
! right todav" said Mr Crank
Mr. Crank stated that he had seen
Denver grow from population Of 106. ?
| mo tn 1870 200 and expected to live to
sec the dny when the Queen CITY NJ
the Plains should have half n million
reople He was Interested IN the grow
th and prosperity NJ the state and the
| states capital The Democrats were
| noisoning the minds Of the people
They were passing Parker by in the
| state and were making a campaign OF
Infamous falsehoods. which meant
| ruin to Colorado
He admitted the right Of labor to
organize for mutual Advancement and
believed IN the Western Federation
n Miners II managed and conducted
| by good and conscientious men. He
| had a wide acquaintance among the
| Western Federation and numbered
many Of them among his warm friends
He claimed that 95 per cent OF that
| organization were good citizens. and
the organization would be all right
II controlled by them. but the other
5 per cent were the leaders and form
ed the dangerous. anarchistic element,
and II was this Vicious per cent that
was responsible for the crimes against
organized labor, against society and
against mankind. The walking dele
gate Is the one who makes the trouble
and not the industrious, hard-working
miner. The per cent are not the
friends OF the honor. the prosperity
and the future Of Colrado.
Mr. Crank is an optimist. and in
| spite Of the fact that things look
mighty bad sometimes. he declares
that the world has been growing
better ever since Adam and Eve step
ped out OF the Garden Of Eden" To
the laboring men he tried to Impress
upon them the fact that they were
doing themselves an injustice, doing
society an injustice and the great
state which we all love an injustice
by failing to stand shoulder to should
CT with one another In routing that
dangerous per cent.
He said the election Of Adams
meant to do over again that which
1t had been necessary to do in Pea
body's administration.
The Democrats we're shamed fol

There may have been mistakes

never do anything never make mis-

innocent men may have been de
