The Adams Deportationsf
You have literally deluged the state
with scalding Democratic tears over
tae alleged Injustice done the danger
Gus characters who were sent out q
some OF the mining camps u Colorado.
Hou weep because OF the violation Of
pc constitution and because some q
tAese despsradoes had families. VIII
you please explain the difference In the
results to man who is killed by .
Desperate with a family and one who
killed by an unmarried assassinY
BE would be dead in either event
would he not?
But these tears of yours-have you
shed any in sympathy for the families
q the men whom the Western Fedora
don OF Miners have manned and mur-
dsred in Colorado? If so, please ten
the people OF Colorado when and where
you did It?
We all know that you are personally
Kind and that your sympathy naturally
Epes out to the unfortunate, but W.
0Bo know that in this instance, owing
V your weak and vacillating tenden-
edes, political expediency prevents you
nom ptcturing to your hearers the dis
tress, misery and suffering caused hon
get, law-abiding American workingmen
oy this vicious Western Federation Of
Miners. You dare not tell the people
Of Colorado the story Of the brutal,
heartless and inhuman crimes of this
organization because you are running
On a ticket and standing on platform
sade by side with two representatives
OF the Western Federation of Miners.
whose support you lack the moral cou1-
age to sacrifice.
| Now please stand stiN and look the
audience square in the eye and an
ew0r this question:
| Don't you know in all times and n
ell ages extraordinary measures have
been required to meet extraordinary
emsrgenciesr
| There are times when human tn
pulse prompts people to do extraof.
dinAry things aud it requires e1traor-
dtnary means to bring them back 10
An orderly and ordinary course.
| Did you ever stop to think, Gov
srnor, how Adam and Eve left the Ga,-
den of Ddsnf
| Their departure Is the first recorded
case of deportation and you will also
remember that cherubtm guarded tho
Garden of Bden with a flaming sword
70 see that thsy did not come back"
Perhaps you may regard this "extrer
ordinary emergency" as too remote 10
apply to a modern instance. If so, here
is one that 10 quite recent:
| I know 1t is your policy to admit
nothing and claim everything, but still
you will not deny that your brother
Frank Adams Is at the head of the DO
Nee department Of Denver.
| Your brother Frank has deported
about 800 Of your fellow citizens since
the present administration came into
ONCE. Inasmuch as this is all in the
family, you of course will not maintain
that you do not know Of this Outrage
ous proceeding"
During the past week your brother
Frank has without any warrant of Law
gathered up and exiled about fifty Of
these down-trodden follow citizens Of
yours, the most Of whom were harm
less and inoffensive, their only crime
being that they were poor and friend
less. There had been number Of hold
Ups in the Capital City. Your brother
Drank and his policemen were unable
10 locate the criminals; they therefore
arrested every one who In their opin-
lon looked suspicious; they arrested
them without warrant or the slightest
ssmblance Of authority OF law. They
made no charges against them except
that they we're Suspicious" They
were thrown in jail and after time
given certain number of hours to
leave the city under threats of impris-
onment
Your brother Frank reasons this
way: "In this bunch are undoubtedly
Me 'hold-ups' whom we are after, but
unable to Identify. cannot tell the
innocent from the guilty. but l do
know that the people OF Denver are
entitled to protection from this tough
clement and am going TO deport the
whole bunch and be on the safe side.
A man cannot Identity the hornet that
stung him. but this fact don't prevent
him from cleaning out the whole nest.
Did you tell the ladies' whom you ad-
dressed In Denver last week about this
outrageous violation Of the constltu-
toual guarantees by your brother
Frank? Did you tell them that these
humble citisens. the majority of whom
were innocent of any crime. were
futhlessly tom from the street corners.
the alleys and dives Of Denver and
torcibly driven from the city by your
brother Frank? Did you explain to
them that this was done by him in vio-
Ation of the provision Of the constitu-
