If you want a free and untram-
elled body of aldermen, vote the
democratic ticket. Not one nominee
on that ticket is under the domina-
ton or control of any Individual or
combination of individuals, and will
exercise their own free will and judg-
ment in transacting the business of
the city. We will let you Judge if
such conditions obtain in the repub-
llcan list of candidates.

If anyone suppoScs that Charles
S. Newton has relinquished the chair
manship of the republican city CEN
tral committee, they are greatly mis-
taken. His resignation and the ap-
pointment of a successor was just
sort of by-play. He is just as much
chairman, and the Electric Light
Company Office headquarters. as ever.
This is no jolly and cannot be laughed
of. as is Mr. Newton's S habit with any
little troubles.
Democracy in this municipal cam
paign does not desire to win on any
false promises. This is a campaign
wherein the platform stands for just
what it says. We believe that the
people can place their faith in the
promises of the party to give them
an administration of which they may
justly feel proud. OF one thing the
public may feel assured and that is
that the nominees on the democratic
ticket are men who were the choice
of the party and not of certain
particular few.
Many a man whose lifelong ser
vices have been given to the republic
can party has been outraged by the
action of the powerful corporations
of the state in seating James H. Pea
body as governor. and then by his
withdrawal, a confession that there
was no justice in his contention, as
to his election. Men love party, and,
in our judgment. it is right that they
should; but a majority of men love
honor better than any sentiment at
taching themselves to party. Their
honor has been outraged in the un-
seating of Alva Adams. the rightful
governor of Colorado.
The very important matter of Sc
curing complete registration was
attended to Saturday by all parties.
We do not understand why one par
ty seemingly had so many names alb
sent from the registration lists and
the other or dominant party, so few.

The mayoralty candidate on the
democratic ticket took a great risk
of defeat when he consented to per.
NIT his name to head the democratic
ticket. 1t is the general opinion OF
newspaper publishers that they make
too many enemies to admit that they
can carry sufficient strength to Sc
cure an election. But the party a.
a whole. by all of its delegates ii

mayoral candidate. and he thought
