WRONGS aloHrep At LAST.


Caickens come home to roost Is an
old but true saying. And this is very
often aptiy illustrated in politics. In
Colorado We have governor who was
thrown out OF the senate two years
ago by partisan Democratic major
lily in order To consummate steal
engineered by Thomas M. Patterson.
What greater rebuke could possibly
be administered to the Democratic
leaders?
1t is case where time rights all
things. Two years ago Macdonald
and Dick were ousted from the state
senate for no otner reason than to
steal a United States senator. with

Republicans were simply compelled tu
meet Democrats on a common level IN
order to root out the evil that has
been growing in Colorado for many
