The same principle that OF sslf-prs-

30 far as the legality Of the pro

the civil authorities in this case? Does
not the constitution give the military

Now. Mr.. Adams. don't shy around
these questions in that weak an va
stllatipg" way OF yours. so ably de-
scribed by your illustrious campaign
bugler Senator Patterson. but tell the
people of Colorado why you think it 10
Etght for q city to deport Its undesira-
bic characters and wrong for a county
10 do the same thing
The next time you see Judge DIVERS
It might be wise to ask him why he
indulxed in the deportation habit in his
district and attacked the governor for
approving the same thing in other dis
tricts.
In his abusive and insulting letter to
the governor regarding the failure OF
the latter onicial to use the militia OF
the state to return the deportees TO
Idaho Springs, he said that If he were
governor he would enforce the rights
guaranteed my fellow beings by the
constitution and the law" But as
Judge you see he has found II neces-
sary to violate the rights guaranteed
his fellow beings by the constitution
and the law" by depordng the un-
fortunate and helpless fellow beings

to the spirit OF our institutions, and
in danger OF being abused, such a
solution is out OF the question. and we
win therefore have to get along under
tue present system of deportation, will

Inasmuch as you are making your
campaign largely upon the deportation
issue it is due the people whom you
expect to vote for you that you make
yourself clear on the points raised In
this and former letters on this subject
