INDICATIONS are that Bill Evans
is slowly reaching a point where
he cannot control one party, let
alone two. 1t looks as if the re-
publicans were nearly out of his
net, and Bob Speer seems to be
getting ready to struggle. At
least he is promising to make
Denver decent and is closing up
the dens of vice.

Brother Rawalt.-Denver Demo-
crat.
Bro. Barkhausen having taken
the Denver Republican as his
guide. philosopher and friend
seeks to align the editor of this
paper with the other faction OF
the g. o. p. The trouble is that
the Democrat, depending on the
public printing for an income, is
compelled to travel with the
Denver gang. We are sort OF in
dependent out here and do not
care a tinker's dam whether few
Denver bell, wethers are pleased
with our course or not. We have
trotted all sorts of gaits with
those fellows. We know them
and know that they will serve
the master that pays them best.
We respect the true Democrats
of Denver.
The rank and file of the de-
mocracy up there are all right.
The gang leadership is not right.
We are not hunting for chance
to bolt. This editor is simply a
free lance. We have quit bowing
down to political joss. If the
party is to be run by and for Bill
Evans we don't want any of it.
If democrats are to be kept on
guard then we are going to vote
for them, and we won't have to
be paid for doing so either.
For years the outside demo-
Gratis have pleaded with the Den
yer democracy to take a bath
and clean themselves. Patience
has ceased to be virtue and we
don't propose to go to bed with
that gang again. Il this is bolt
ing we'll and good. The truth is
that Speer, Barkhausen and every
man in Denver who defends the
unholy Evans-Speer alliance, will
vote a republican ticket if the
democrats nominate one that the
balance OF US ought to support
The real democracy will put uo
the ticket this time because the
outside democrats are fully
aroused, and the Denver gang
will knife it to the core if they
can.
However. we expect to carry
Denver. We believe there are
plenty of good democrats there
if we can only succeed in getting
their votes counted. That is
where we will lose out. The
judges of election are already
appointed from list O. KID by
Bill Evans. Every preparation
has been made to steal what votes
they need or suppress any that
menace their success.
You can call Tom Patterson a
party wrecker if you wish, but he
can't begin to compete with you
fellows who prostitute every
principle to get hand-out. We
were in Denver the other day
and met some men who toll in
the wards. We got inside infor-
nation that was reliable. None
of the bosses had anything to do
with giving it, and we are just
egotistical enough to think that
we know a whole lot about the
situation. That is the reason we
write at length to Bro. Bark
hausen's invitation to "Speak up."

was defeated overwhelmingly,
his opponent receiving nearly
two to one of the votes in said
primary, the issue being fought
almost entirely upon the high
1iscense platform which Repre-
sentrtive Wilcox elected to run
upon, both candidates for repre-

any time, the last election having
occurred FIVE years ago
We cite the fact that in said
primary Mr.. Wilcox was defeat

except one, and the scheme OF
high 1iscense as advocated by
him has been emphatically re-
iected by the white voters of
this county by over whelming

districts in the county.

adopted as the saloon protecto-

Whereas there is a bill pend

Ben Hill county with Fitzgerald
as the county site; and whereas
the City Council of Fitzgerald
realizes that Fitzgerald and the
territory affected very greatly

entitled to the same; and where
as the said Council knows that
the creation of a new county
would enure to the advantage of
all the citizens affected; and
whereas public sentiment de-
mands the creation of the new
county with practical unanimity;
