and ] have no bottle holders othei
than the people of Colorado"
He mentioned the fact that the
Grand Junction lodge of Elks had in
vited him yesterday evening to de
liver an address as the annual me
mortal service to be held the FRS
Sunday in December. stating that he
would be glad to appear before O
Grand Junction audience when he
came not TO make a speech on poll
tics, religion Or business.
He said that he as a plain eiti.
zen had as much right to select a tex
as Buehtel the minister and he would
choose this text; Prophecy not to IL;
of Right Things but of Smooth
Things" He declared that BuchteI
was prophesying and talking OF
Smooth things only while he came to
tell the people of the true state of af-
fairs. He declared that the Issues OF
the day are moral principals and moi
political creeds.
In speaking Of states prosper
ity he said. I'VE are prosperous in
Colorado. yes never more so but on
that prosperity there is taint, the
taint of corporate greed and influ.
once and the people of Colorado must
remove that taint."
Referring to the Republican and
corporation leaders Gov. Adams de
clared: "Guggenheim stands for him
self and his money. Gabbert stands
for corrupt judiciary, Evans stands
for corrupt corporation interests. z"
Continuing he said: Evans cares no
thing for political faith. He has tax
en- from the people the purity of the
ballot, he has robbed Colorado citi
zenship of the majority. he has by
trickery and fraud changed the COM
plexion of the state senate, he has
corrupted the highest court of the
state" All this has William C. Evans
done"
They tell u.s." said Gov Adams,
that we should not criticize the su-
preme court of the state. then l say
let that court be above criticism"
He spoke of standing some years
ago before a great gate in the walls of
an Egyptian city. They called it the
Gate of Justice. over that gate stood
number of high poles and asked
what they We're for. l was told that
upon those poles were to be placed
the head of the ruler who forgot his
oath and proved untrue to the in
terests of his people. Colorado should
have gate of justice and over it
thore should be poles upon which
the people of Colorado could polite
ally hang the judges who forgot their
oaths and betrayed the interests of
the people"
Gov. Adams said that he had no
apprehension regarding the election
of Gabbert. He is indeed the most
unfortunate mortal in Colorado. 81
don't believe the people believe that
Gabbert's conscious operated when he
rendered what he called Justice" He
declared that 1000 men and women
would scratch Gabbert's name off the
ballot two weeks from today. He ex-
pressed the belief that the Democrats
would elect the two justices and that
the supreme court would go back to
the people to whom 1t belonged.
Speaking of Guggenheim's candi-
dacy he said that if the people elect
ed the senators by direct vote Gug-
genhelm would not dare be candi-
date but he hoped to win through the
Republicans in the legislature
"Guggenheim is man of great power
with his money and in the business
world, but in the United States sem
ate he would be pigmy." He declar
ed that Guggenheim wanted the office
as a bauble and to please his wife
who wanted him to have 1t.
"Fifty-one men form a majority
of the state Legislature. Should the
Republicans have a majority. twenty
six men could control the caucus and
declare for Guggenheim and the Re
publican delegation would have to
support him and he would be elected.
Therefore twenty-six men have the
power of saying who shall be the
United States senator From Colorado.
Governor Adams paid tribute to
Senator Horace T. DeLong and Rep
/ tesentative Hoyt of this district, de-
cIarinE that he desired to exempt
these two Republicans of the legis-
lature that permitted the steal of the
governorshlp. They are Republicans
but they are men of character and in
tegrity and It is with pleasure that
pronounce them as such" They
denounced the steal. they stood for
the interests of the people said Mr..
Adams.
The speaker said that the Demo-
cratic fight was against the corpor-
ations that were in politics and not
against corporations that attended
TO their business and did not try to
corrupt the state government
Referring to Mr.. Buchtel he stat
ed that Buchtel is a brilliant man. an
