The He'll Holes of Corporations, and
Montana Comes Next.

The great question in Colorado is to
restore law and order. The coal and iron
trust, and the other great corporations
have the nation by the throat. They defy
the law. the courts, and the state gov
crnment. Personal rights are not safe
until the people take charge of their
state government and conquer these
criminal corporations. They have cor
rupted the state government until the
people generally have lost respect for
the courts and the laws. The chief jus.
tice is controlled by the corporations
The city franchise steal in Denver is one
of the most rotten things that has ever
been perpetrated. And yet when the con.
test of these frauds was being tried the
presidents of these great corporations
came into court and opposed the court
and even declined to be sworn. These
men defy the laws and the courts II
Is simply organized anarchy against
law and order with them. The problem
before the people of Colorado is TO re-
store a reign of law. These criminal
corporations control both old parties.
aud Colorado is today the hell-hole of
corporations. The same trusts and cor
porntions that control the coal, iron and
gold industries control both the old
political parties in Colorado. and these
same trusts control the old political
parties in Montana. II this looks good
Ia you democratic and republican work
ingmcu and YOU want u dose of the

tiricts and they viii put you in the hull
pen when YOU refuse To work for >tarya-
tion wages. The corporations get con
trol Of courts at the ballot and the
can get the same control at
the same ballot box by voting the so
cialist ticket. ". u. NENlLLS.

FLOATEN IS ARRESTED

acros, the one in front of his house.
Late Sunday afternoon. Marshal
Rickert, who less than year ago killed
man in cold blood, stationed himself
at the corner near Floaten's home.
Floaten rode his wheel up to the gate
as usual, but no sooner had he started
TO cross the sidewalk than he was
seized by the officer of the law. With
out word of explanation Rickert
icrked his victim TO the ground and
otherwise maltreated him. Floaten. who
is in delicate health. was unarmed and
made no resistance. Had he raised his
arm iH protest there is no doubt that
the officer would have shot him. In
fact, the whole affair appears to have
been prearranged for a deliberate muir
der. Only the non-resistance of Floaten
prevented it.
Floaten was arraigned before Police
Magistrate Cooper, charged with OBJ
structing the sidewalk with a bicycle
No witnesses appearing against him
Monday morning at o'clock, Floaten
declared he would not appear at ) o'clock
that afternoon to he tried He was ready
for trial at the usual time, and it was
not his fault that the state was unpre-
pared. At noon he left for Denver,
and at ) o'clock he was fined $40 and
costs Nv the Judge. This fine Floaten
declares he will not pay.
How the affair will terminate is not
known. Others have volunteered to
distribute the Appeal during the absence
of Floaten. His arrest has endeared the
candidate for lieutenant governor to
the working class of Fort Collins. and a
tremendous voice of protest at the out
rage has gone up all over the state

Denver. Colo. Oct. "A. II. Floaten,
socialist candidate for lieutenant COVER
nor of Colorado, is the latest victim to
be arrested by the hellhounds of capi-
talism in their efforts to suppress So
cialist propaganda. The outrage oc-
Cured late Sunday afternoon in Fort
Collins, Floaten's home town. IL was
accompanied by display of brutality
by the officer who made the arrest that
was absolutely unwananted and which
has called forth the united protest of
the community.
Since the opening of the campaign
Comrade floaten has distributed each
week to the citizens of Fort Collins ] 500
copies of the Appeal to Reason. II has
been his custom to leave the papers at
the doors early in the morning and late
in the afternoon, and so welcome were
the appearances of the papers that the
readers looked for them with eagerness.
This work of Floaten enraged the demo-
cratic and republican oilceholders of the
town. and steps were taken to stop it.
There being no law preventing the
distribution of the Appeal, it was neces-
sary to resort TO other means. Floaten
rides bicycle. His residence is near
the end of the block. and his yard gate
is not more than fifty feet from the
street corner. II is Floaten's custom to
ride his wheel directly across the three
foot sidewalk from the street into his
yard. This the officers of the law
knew. They had followed their vtictim
for days trying to catch him in some
act that would warrant his arrest. Here
was the opportunity. He violated 4
city ordinance prohibiting the use of
the sidewalks for bicycles. by riding

Portland will be called next week for

call. He stated this morning that he
had not decided to accept and that

sidered at the meeting next week.

surprise to the members of his church.

stated that he had received several
calls last year from various prominent
churches, but that his attachment to
Portland had compelled him to de-
cline.
