PHILIP STEWART
IDEAL GOVERNOR
Denver Republican.

Denver Republican.
Colorado has not had large num-
Der of governors, but they have been
of exceeding great variety, and but
few OF them have approximated the
ideal such as the thinking citizens
would like to have at the head OF the
state. There have been some that
we have been ashamed OF and that
have made the people blush, not only
for their loutishness, but because OF
their acts.
Governors of Colorado have been
chosen from the mining ranks, the
banking business, agriculturists, con-
tractors, political lawyers and other
walks. But nearly all OF these have
voted themselves to building up in
dividual or fractional party machines.
What the state wants and needs
| Ia level headed man, highly intel
| ligent, educated, clean in life, one
who will grace any occasion "a man
who will stand for the best interests
of all, under his oath, rather than to
exploit the state for his particular
band of political followers. 1t is be
cause he stands for all these things
that Philip B. Stewards friends en-
treated him to make he race for CUB
| ernatorial honors before the Repub-
lican convention.
The first function of government
is to maintain order and give to every
citizen his right to life, liberty and
the pursuit Of happiness. The last
include Of course the right to work
when, where and for whom one
| pleases. No government organized
in the interest of any special class
can govern justly. These principles
are basic and they are exactly what
the Republican party stood for In this
state two years ago when it restored
order and brought forth prosperity
and peace such as has not beer
known for nearly decade there IL
II the opposition to the Republican
party in this state believes there Il
anything else In the hearts of the
people this year than firm determi
nation to retain this peace and pros
perity then they are miscalculating
The governor of this state cannot ac
complish any sweeping reforms, un
less he has legislature with him
Then he can only suggest, because
his patronage and power is very lin
tied. With conditions as they are
there is only one thing for the voters
to do, and they will act right. Any
candidate who comes with a hurraf
that he can regulate the rest of the
state according to his notions by 8
two years term as governor, would
prove the most disappointing govern
or the state ever had. The Populist:
were going to do all those wonderful
things, and their administration /.
something that most people try t.
forget. We have had a Democratic
administration within the past de-
cade by man who had no persona
qualifications for the place. and II
Democratic circles that administra
ton is 1.-The name that's never spok
en-"
The citizens want a man in the
high office who is Straightforward
and direct, whose utterances will mo-
be misunderstood, and who has the
nerve to get out and make fight fol
them If necessary to defend their bes'
interests.

The Denver Republicans have fixed
up their fractional differences; now
the Democrats Of the rest of the state
can't see why the Denver Democrats

which OF two rival delegations should
be admitted to the convention.
