Journalist, had risen to a command
ing position. He had grown very
wealthy through pandering to the low
est in human nature and through his
faculty of causing and maintaining en-
mites and distrust. and he had
reached the goal of his political am
bition-all in a period OF misfortune
for the state Has the voter ever
stopped to think of this? Analyze 1t,
dissect it, and at the heart OF 1t Will

Colorado been one of discord?
The last Democratic administration
| in the state was ruined by Patterson's
| dictation AS the agent for the West
ern Federation of Miners Mr.. Patter-
son appeared at the state house and
| demanded that the state make terms
| with a mob directed by the murderous
| inner circle from Denver. Patterson's 8
/ course brought the state to the bor-
| ders of anarchy and held it suspended
for more than two years. Millions and
millions in dollars were lost to the
people, to all the people, not to one
class. but TO every division, to the
wage-earner more in proportion than
to the employer.
Would the Adams administration
prove stronger than the Orman ad
ministration? Boss Patterson knows
for he has often characterized his
man OF this year as weakling who
always shrunk from responsibilities
This time ten years ago Boss Patter
son said of his candidate of this year
Ion controyerted public questions he

avoids the weariness and wounds ol

he stands aloof until the struggle is
about decided, and, then, when the

WHEN PATTERSON HAS
RULED THE STATE

After all has been said and done
the matter of greatest moment to the
voters of Colorado is whether the
state shall proceed to the fulfillment of
its destiny in the manner in which
IL has been doing In the past two
years or whether Boss Patterson shall
be permitted to become the grand die
tator, to take his revenges on his en-
emies and to carry on his warfare
against the constituted authorities.
There Is no guess work about this;
the spirit of prophecy is not required:
Ii has been demonstrated to a math.
ematical certainty that every period
in which Patterson has been In con.
troll of his party-Democratic, Popu-
list, FNsion--that period has been n
disastrous one for the state. He can.
not help being trouble breeder; 1t is
born in him; and this, together with
the fact that trouble brings nickels
to the Patterson treasury makes OF
him a disturbing factor to the whole
commonwealth.
As the proprietor of two yellow
newspapers Boss Patterson grows fat
when the great bulk OF the people are
In despair. To him the years of peace
and prosperity are lean years.
Fourteen years ago Boss Patterson
forced party and an administration
upon the people Of Colorado that
spelled ruin to many thousands. 1t
took Colorado decade to get rid OF
the conditions then created, but In
that time Boss Patterson. the yellow

SOME FIGURES ON PROSPERITY
Denver. Colo. Oct. II. 1906.

Denver, Colo, Oct. IL, 1906.
AS the campaign progresses it is
becoming every day more and more
apparent that the people of Colorado
are not only satisfied with the Repuh-
lican administration of four years
past, but the prosperity and general
advance of the state have given rise
to such a degree of contentment in
the state that the people have already
concluded that there will be nc
change during the next two years
This statement of the condition of af
fairs in the state is not a biased one
it is not one made because of political
prejudice. 1t is a statement of fact
that everywhere is apparent.
Figures are absolutely reliable and
show that there has been tremend
GUS gain to the wage-earner of Colo.
rado during the years of Republican
rule of law and order. The malcon.
tents, encouraged and backed by Pat
terson and the Democratic party, pre-
cipitated the strike of 1904. These
figures show that the Colorado Fuel
and Iron company paid out in wages
$2,926.690.22 more in 1906 than in
1904. The American Smelling and
Refining company paid out 33OS, 1906
more in wages, making the same COM
comparison. The Denver & Rio
Grande Railroad paid out 81 ,062 1874. 10,
and the Colorado & Southern Railway
paid out $s62,9O0.50. Democratic mis-
rule brought about the strike. The
Republican administration settled the
strike and restored law and order
when there had been murder and
chaos.
The picture of two years ago, the
state in the hands of n mob, and its
Industries stagnated. is strikingly in
contrast with the present conditions
in Colorado. Now the mines and the
smelters are running full blast, with
the right secured to every man to la.
Dor II he desires without standing un.
der a sword. He can work in peace
and with no danger of being blown to
atoms. The railroads are now hand.
ling more business than ever before
in the history of the state. More men
are employed and at a higher wage
per man than ever before in the his
tory OF the commonwealth. The land
Is overflowing with plenty. On every
side men are getting more and more
OF their share of the products of pro-
In short Colorado is now
enjoying the most phenomenal pros.
perity since Its admission to the
Union.
Under Republican administration
the beet sugar industry has so grown
that now this state produces nearly
one-half ofthe 469.770.000 pounds Of
refined beet sugar produced In the
United States. The voter of the state
realize that this increase in the well
fare of the people and the state is
iue to the Republican party. Every
lay they are expressing themselves
,long these lines.
This is true as to Democrats as well
