brated speech at Colorado Springs a
few days ago answered this would be
an argument in his usual forcible and
convincing way. Speaking of this
phase of the matter, frequently inter
rupted by applause, Dr. Buchtei said
From the reports OF the speeches
of Ex-Governor Adams | find that he
wants the people to believe that my
| declaration, that l shall go into office
| means In fact that | am now pledged
| and that l will not be fair and impair
tial in my administration. Senator
Patterson made similar charges
against Ex-Governor Adams himself in
the Rocky Mountain News OF Septem-
ber 10, 1896, in these words:
"'These corporations and their
agents did not give something for
nothing. They gave the nomination
for governor to Alva Adams. the
choice of the Democratic party.
There must have been some con
sideration. What was 1t? The peo.
pie want to know. Somebody should
tell them why the water company and
the tramway company are willing that
he should appoint tho Denver boards.
What was the consideration
that led the corporation machine to
accept Mr.. Adams as Its candidate for
the governorship? What promises
have been made? What debts are
due?'
Were these declarations true about
Ex-Governor Adams when he was
candidate for governor for the sec
ond time? I do not think they were
true about him then and do not think
they are true about him now when
he is a candidate for the. fifth time.
Neither the water company nor the
tramway company had any such com
pact with Ex-Governor Adams. They
did not want any such compact.
find that all sensible men In Colo
RADIO know now that Senator Patter-
son is hopelessly afflicted with an In
durable mental disease known as cor
porationitis. Everyone who does not
bow the knee to him is corrupt cor
porationist There is no wealth but
predatory wealth.

passes on all railroads for twenty-one

the Patterson shrine. he is declared
to be a patriot who deserves any of
flee he wants except the senatorship
When he does not burn incense, the
versatile Senator Patterson describes
the ex-governor as weak and vacillat-
ing on all controverted public ques-
tions.' and as secretly pledged to do
something dishonorable.
when Ex-Governor Adams walls
the Patterson wall, 1t is clearly evil
dent that he has been listening to his
masters voice. While do not be-
lieve that any OF those stupid charges
against Ex-Governor Adams were true
in 1896, l want to say in the most
decided and unequivocal manner that
all charges of this character against
me have never been, are not now and
never will be true. | closed my let
ter of acceptance with a quotation
from President Roosevelt's last mes
sage to congress. So far as know
not one Democratic paper or Demo-
cratic speaker has had the manllness
to quote that language. All Of them,
including Ex-Governor Adams, have
misrepresented my declarations. which
are clear as sunlight.
THE words, they never quote are
these:
" L shall do my utmost TO make an
ically an administration of the square
deal. No better words can describe
my view of what our government is
designed to be than the words OF
President Roosevelt In his last mes
sage to congress-;
This government is not and never
shall be governed by mob. 1t shall

rich or poor. is to be treated simply
and solely on his worth as a man,
that all his personal and property
rights are to be safeguarded, and that
he is neither to wrong others. nor to
suffer wrong from others"

almost a panic in the stock market
today on account of news that the
Bank of England had raised its dis.
