THE MAN FOR SENATOR.

T. ]. O'Donnell, the principal
speaker at the democratic rally last
Monday evening, devoted a good
share of his time and elooueDce to
show why Simon Guggenheim should
Dot be made United States senator
from Colorado, and considering the
matter impartially We are inclined
10 agree with the speaker. The mil
lionaire CLUB in the United States
Ssnare is large enough as 1t is and
while the fact that man is rich
does not unfit him for public service,
the difficulty is that he is apt to
view all matters of public nature
from his own point of vantage, often
simply because he knows no other
view. His entire life has more than
likely been one of ease and luxury
and be has never found it necessary
to dig down below the upper crust
for facts.
We have no particular man in
mind whom we would like to see
represent this state in the senate,
because the men that We know to be
capable OF holding such an office are
either politically dishonest for their
own ends or are the tools of interests
that are equally detrimental to the
people at large.
We would like to see some broad
and liberal minded man who had
come from among the masses, had by
dint of hard work carried himself
into the upper classes and still never
forgot his early training. Such a
man would come nearer understand
ing the conditions and needs of all
classes and would be the right man
for senator Neither Simon Guggen-
helm nor T. NJ. Patterson can come
under that rule, as each stands for
his own interests. first. last and all
the time.

TO EnrERrA,h VISITORS.

The securing Of the next annual
convention Of the Colorado State
Commercial association for Greeley
was lucky strike by the CONNER
cial Club. Greeley will be in excel
lent shape to entertain such a body
Of visitors by that time and the good
to the city and community from the
advertising these will receive will
far more than make up for the cost
OF the entertainment. 1t is not too
early to commence already to formu-
late plans, and the Commercial Club
should not lose too much time in
having committees appointed to look
after the many details that will be
necessary to work out.
Civic pride should be awakened
and the town made as beautiful as
possible. 1t would not be amiss to
The Greeley tribune., 1906-11-01

We claim only moderate share of
the credit for present political con.
ditions In this county, but do be-

ence In crystalizing thought into &C.
tion in this respect. There is much
to be done yet and the work will not
be abandoned. There are still 50
many petty gratis, In which the
people are robbed and from which
the people derive absolutely no ser
vice, that it staggers the earnest in

fall under the ban.
We look upon the mai who will

big a rogue as the one who will steal

difference that we really see is that
the soul of the former is too small
to grasp larger things, even in
wronRdoing. Such man would not
have the qualifications to make a
good official even II he was honest.
The man OF larger mind might have
been turned into right channels and
his talents turned to ends unseful to
humanity. Both of these types
should be eliminated from public
service and we believe this can he

Little Lessons in Politics
By independent Voter.

With this tissue ends the need Of
Little Lessons SO far as this
political campaign is concerned.
That the thoughts that have found

among the people, we honestly be-
lieve. Intuition tells US that, as

that We have received from time to
time from the better thinking
people.
We give the intelligence Of the
public credit for what good has been
done, for had the field not been ready
to receive the seed no growth would
have resulted, no matter how tbickly
the grain had been sown. We he
lieve that the seed has taken root.

a fact that never was there more
genuine sincerity expressed In news

Little Lessons in the Tribune the
past few months. The work Itself
has had broadening influence upon
the writer, and his honesty of pnr.
pose has grown with the development
OF the work. That, we believe, is
the strongest reason why it has al.o
had its effect upon the voters 'of
Weld county. We take great pride
In pointing to the list OF nominees
for political office on both tickets
this fall. This could only have been
brought about bv the bringing for

have been advocated and fought for
in Little Lessons, good men for pub.

We are gratified at results so far.

PLEDGED CANDIDATES.

Every candidate for the Legislature
from Weld county has either prom
ised or pledged himself to vote fol
several reform measures that viii
have greater tendency TOWARD
cleaner politics in the state and
county than any existing laws.
These measures are: primary elec.
rion law that will entirely do away
with conventions; a railroad com
mission that will do away with un.
just Discrimination in rates; the
complete Australian ballot, and tbs
elimination of corporations from
politics.
In another part of this issue will
be found the promises of the -four
legislative candidates from Weld
county. The promises are so straight
and forward that really it will be
hard to chose between candidates on
these questions. The letter by
Franklin ]. Green. to the Pueblo
Chieftain. is such a manly declara-
tion of principles that We wish to
refer specially to that. We regret
at the same time that we could not
have presented the views of the other
candidates more in their own lang
u2ge.

ences in the selection of representa-
tiyes we believe that others are a.

VOTE FOR TWO.

In another column of this issue
will be found diagrams showing how
those voting a straight republican
ticket, except for the judicial and
legislative tickets, must mark their
ballots in order to make their votes
count for the democratic candidates

furnished TO all OF the democratic
newspapers of northern Colorado and
are published merely as matter of
information to voters. and not as ex-

views on the question.

the exception Of two. These are
two candidates for the supreme
court bench, Gabbert, alleged repub-
lican, and Seeds, alleged democrat.
The two represent widely different
interests, and one is as great a
menace to the state as the other.
The first named stands for predatory
wealth and the other for predatory
labor. There i not much choice be-
tween the two, so far as their
power for evil to the state and the
people is concerned. Elect Gabbert

preme court to be biased in favor OF
