always to serve the personal ends OF
Patterson.
Patterson has grown rich In Colo
RADIO from the resources of the great
state, but he has never In his long
public career returned any of his
gains to the state In any form what
ever He has consistently been against
every movement which looked for the
betterment of the state, except where
he could readily discern that the ends
interests advanced.
This is the man who controls Alva
Adams. William p. Seeds. and ail the
other nominees on the Democratic
the Democratic party is placed In
power, dictate the policies of the state
departments. He Is the man who will
direct the expenditure OF the states
influence will permeate every phase
of the states governmental activity.
A return to power of this inexor-
able and ruthless boss will mean the
return OF the Big Mltt In Denver. 1t
will mean that the lawless element of
the state will be immune from pun
ishment and the work OF years Of Re-
publican advancement will go for
naught- He will. II the Democratic
ticket Is elected remain In power until
once again the people OF the state rise
In their might and say that he shall
no longer dictate the policies Of the
state government
Fortunately Thomas NJ. Patterson
will not have an opportunity to darken
the path of the states progress. But
1t is well to think OF these things when
the time to vote comes.

That Issue is. shall the AFFAIRS of
Colorado be turned over to such a
boss and his followers? Adams, the
meek. is nothing more than a figure
head, and he will obey absolutely the
every suggestion of Patterson. Pat
terson, an indefatigible worker for
himself, has in one way or another
kept himself, through his yellow pa
pers, in the public eye. The voters
of Colorado are in truth weary of this
continuous issue, but If signs are to
be relied on, Patterson and his motley
crew of candidates will be relegated
to private life in next November
Through a pernicious activity. un-

up issues for the people to consider.
has exploited them in his yellow pa
pers, and when his ends were served
he dropped the so-called issues as
quickly as he picked them up. Never
in his long political life In the state
has he enacted into law or caused to
be enacted into law any of the meas
ures he so persistently writes about
in his papers.
1t is not the purpose of Patterson.
boss, or Patterson, senator, to do any
thing in the interests of the people or
anything in the interests of the state
of Colorado. For, years, this man who
stands at the head of the Democratic
party, has done nothing save tear
down and destroy. He has ever been
opposed to all those things which
tend toward the upbuilding OF the
state. and he has been the Jonah OF the
state, of the Democratic party.
Chief Justice Gabbert, in his decis-
ions, has laid down the law that the
peace and integrity of the state must
be preserved. On this account Pat
terson has declared him an outcast
from society, and has branded him
with every dishonorable epithet that
his red splashes of ink could portray.
Justice Gunter of the supreme court,
a Democrat and a jurist. was called
upon to write the opinion In the Pat
terson contempt case. the case in
which Patterson was brought before
the bar of the supreme court and
chastised for his infamous attacks
upon the judiciary. That meant the
political death OF Gunter. for Patter-
son, the boss Of the party. would not
permit his name to go before the
Democratic state convention.
So 1t has been with men and meas
ures. since first Patterson has infected
the state. He has praised. and con-
demned every man OF prominence In
the state. and each time he has
praised or condemned. It was not with
any purpose of rendering justice
where justice was due, but ever and

WHO PAYS THB BILLsi

One Of the curious things about She
Lindsey campaign is-who pays the
bills?
A man couldn't run for governor in
a cheap way. It costs lots Of money.
In Canon City, Tuesday night. n
didn't cost less than 500 for that
meeting.
There was the Opera House, TIE
band. the printing. the bill postinS.
These things all cost money. Alons
they will use up the 500.
Then there is the cost of the ad-
vance agent who was here q week ago
and the hotel bills and travelling ex-
pense Of Judge Lindsey and his busi-
ness manager Col. Jack Faw.
Judge Lindsey is a poor man. He
lives on q salary that is not large. He
certainly cannot be paying the bills.

APACHE COUNTY
 IS ALL RIGHT
Continued From Page 1.

I came here as a boy and consider it my home, the dearest country in the world.
 Another so-called argument the jointists hold out to us is that Albu- querque will be the capital and the capital will then be much nearer to Apache county. The fact is that under the law the capital will remain at Santa Fe for ten years at least and that is farther away than Phoenix. What will be done at the end of that time no man knows. For one I have implicit faith in the building of a north and south railroad from the coal fields to central Arizona long before that time and in that event Phoenix would be nearer even than Albuquerque is Furthermore Phoenix has a future. backed by an immediate country of wonderful resources, such as Albuquer- que never will have and in less than ten years will undoubtedly be a city of which the territory could be more proud than it could of Albuquerque,. even if the latter city were the capital.
 MT. Crosby, who is himself a Nor mon, was asked concerning the claim made by some join lists, that the Nor mon people as a class are in favor of jointure. His reply was a very vigor- ouS denial. He said: In southern Apache county the people are mostly of the Mormon faith, and I doubt if there is one Mormon living there who faVors jOinture. In Navajo county they are very few indeed" He said he had made careful inquiry in Mesa City and failed to find a Mormon there who favors. or can be in any way induced to favor, jOinture. He also said: ''I have had reliable reports from Graham county to the same effect The Nor mons came here in an early day. It is their home, and they revere it as such and are as loyal to their home and country as any people"
 Speaking of statehood generally he said, with warmth: "The natural diff ferences in the people and the natural typographical differences in the two domains make a cOaIescing and inter mingling of interests impossible even with jointure. There is a vast desert between the two territories, almost un- inhabited, and much of the way a rough. and mountainous country, such a country as never will be populated, and the interests of the two peoples diverge, one to the east and. the other to the west. l believe that we should

 Mir. Crosby said he had been told that his statehood arguments were mere sentiment He pleaded guilty. What is civilization but sentiment?" was his answer. Sentiment is the foundation of all human organization of a civilized nature from the family to the nation, and state patriotism is but little, if any. lower than national patriotism. We could never be united with New Mexico even with jpinture, and we might better be a united terri tory with everything tos hope for than a disunited state with two sections that never can act in unison"
