OF our citizens are opposed to Mr..
Patterson, because:
First. He has pursued the "rule
or ruin" policy for years, and bolt
ed every political ticket he could
not dominate. He has abused all po-
litical workers who refused to do his
bidding.
Second. He has made malignant
newspaper assaults upon our Oldest
and most public-spiiited citizens.
He seeks out Inagnifies and exploits
evil-refuses to see or recognize
good. to the injury of our standing
and credit throughout the cou ntry
Third. He is not satisfied without
keeping up never ending political
agitation and turmoil, both before
and after elections, to the injury of
every business within the state, for
no other purpose than to vent his
spleen upon political opponents. or to
serve his own inordinate personal am
billions.
Patterson's opp osition in Denver is
worth more votes to ticket than his
support. Some favor the principles
he advocates, put few have faith in
his sincerity. His leadership of the
democratic party means sure defeat.
The fight this fall will be especially
on the judiciary. both local and state.
We must nominate judges free from
both corporation and Patterson's in
fuence. One is as essential to the
common good as the other.
A compliment is paid our organiza-
tion in the bolters address, by calling
attention to the fact that the men
who do the political work in this city
who devote time. energy and money
for our party's success. are holding
positions under the city administra-
tion. We believe the workers should
have the places. provided they give
the public good service
When Patterson forced Judge
Wells nomination for mayor. and de-
feated the nomination of Henry V.
johnson, one Of the corporations he
now condemns furnished him the
money for the campaign with more
lavish hand than has ever been ex-
tended by any corporation since. All
corporations are bad unless they pay
tribute to Mr.. Patterson mill.
The regularity of the democratic
organization of Denver is unques-
toned, and it has always supported
the party ticket. 1t will invite all
loyal democrats to take part in its
primaries-hold its convention and
send its delegates to the state conven,
tion.
Patterson, the prince of boilers,
will. without any party form of law,
appoint his delegates and ask for
seats. The state convention must
decide whether anarchy or regularity
is to prevail.
Personally, realize the import,
ance of this falls election and see
hard fight in Denver. The republi-
cans are united and will have un-
limited funds with which to conduct
campaign. 1t will require concen-
trated effort-the collection of all the
resources at our command, and the
enthusiastic support of every precinct
worker to insure success. We have
fight before us, righteous cause to
espouse and are ready to do battle.
II the state convention does not want
our services, we are still democrats
and will vote the ticket, but will not
assume the responsibility for the re-
suits. nor raise money. or furnish
workers to further the political ambi
tion Of a selfish traitor. although dis
guised as United States Senator.
