political parties may be swept
out of existence at any election.
Sooner or later they will realize
that the temple of their liberties
is in flames.
The carnival of pollution OF
the ballot, the wholesale robbery
of the people in every walk of
life, has only dazcd the public
mind for the time being. The
voice of the masses has not yet
been stilled, their conscience not
yet scared, nor their arms para
lyzed.
The crying need of the hour is
for brave and incorruptable men
in public office, and it matters
little If the name be democrat or
republican. or nclthcr-Tully

CANON CITY is in the throes of
civil conflict. Last Sunday a
sanctlhed mob sacked a club in
that place and destroyed $4,000
worth of liquors and fixtures. The
owners have quietly restocked
the place, begun suit for the
damage against the town and an
nounce that there will be the finest
lob lot of funerals ever seen if
the mob tries it again. AS they
have an incorporated club, fully
protected by the law, there is
little doubt that they will collect
the damage in full. Even the
churches may find it necessary to
obey the laws of which they
talk so loudly,

In another column will be found
an ordinance regarding the sale
of liquor IN this place, which was
introduced and tathered by the
temperance element with the evil
dent intent of surrounding the
drug stores with sufficient Protec
tion to enable them to assuage
the thirst of the element that
seeks its refreshment from that
source. 1t will be quite interest
ing to hear them explain why
they seek to issue any permit to
a drug store. Probably upon the
principle that if real genuine

he wants it powerful bad and

If a person must be traitor to
the government of the state, to
its laws and institutions, in order
that the vile epithet may not be
applied by the party chairman
then the party has indeed reached
a low ebb in its affairs and it is
not entitled to the support OF any
honest citizen. If to protest
against stealing the highest and
proudest office in the common
wealth merits the title of "traitor'
from the party organization then
either the party is in the final
stages of decay and dissolution
or our political language is ac-
quirlng a new meaning under cor

SPEAKS CLEARLY AND PLAINLY.
Hon. TuIIy Scott Writes Words that
Ought to Serve as Warning.

language of it's platform. In fact
the platform has already been
written and the leader named in
the minds and hearts OF a conven-
ton, larger and greater than may
be assembled under any one root.
The issue and the man are in
separable.
Governor Adams was the per-
sonal victim. He personally SUIT
fered the indignities directed at
the people in the theft of their
ballots and in the pollution of
their tribunals. They will not
feel that the infamy is fully
avenged. except through the use
of his honored name in the exer-
else of their delegated power.
But if the accepted represent
atives of William G. Evans, the
head, front and inspiration of
every infamy of which we COM
plain, are to dominate the conven-
ton that writes the platform, it
would be as if the devil eX-
pounded the Sermon on the
Mount. 1t will sicken the heart,
destroy the faith and blight the
hope of an anxious and already
discouraged people.
But the people and the Inter
ests" within the democratic party
of Colorado are at the parting OF
the ways. There is no neutral
ground and there can be no COM
promise.
There is no room in this state
for two corporation owned Politi-
cal parties 1t is therefore i'm
perative that the democratic
party set itself right with the Peo-
pie in the coming campaign.
Their patience has been strained
to the point of breaking. 1t is
we'll to take warning.
Both political parties in this
state have heretofore, been con-
trolled from Denver, and however
much we NAV dislike to accept
the fact, it is nevertheless clear
that the democratic organization
in that city is the obedient crea-
ture of the public utility corpora
tions, as is likewise the republican
machine.
A disinterested and careful
observer is forced to pronounce
them both willing tools of the
allied "interests," without sense
of shame, hesitating at no form
Of political corruption. If the
crimes of 1904-5 were not suffi-
cient to convince, then the recent
CITY election has left no room for
doubt.
1t is now plain to an outsider
that the chief purpose OF the "syS-
tenn" in the election crimes of
19O4-5 was to make sure the val
liable franchises in the city;
though of course, the Mine Own
ers' association and fuel com
panies were allotted the governor
ship, to intimidate labor, while
the railroad and smelter trust
were handed out the senatorshiP
to scramble over.
1t was certain then as now, to
the public utility corporations
and to the city administration,
tha, these corporations would be
helpless in securing such fran
chises without the vigorous sup
port both of the democratic city
administration and the demo-
cratic city organization.
1t was, therefore, within the

But that administration did not

election used all of its power,
sacrificed the respect of the peo-
pie for it, and prostituted the dem
ocratic organization in behalf OF
the same men and the identical
interests who SO deliberately
stole the three branches of the
state government.
But in addition to this, and
now when every we'll informed
and honest man in the state is
satisfied that these Interests
stole the franchise election, this
same democratic administration
has used its power and the city's
money to confirm the steal. even
to the extent of employing the
attorney of the corporations, who
during the progress of the theft
of offices in their behalf, invented
"high prerogative," which in
terpreted seems to mean the
power of courts to ignore the law
and precedent, as we'll as common
decency, and to nullify the ex-
pressed will OF the people, at
such times and in such cases as
best suits the purposes of the
System.
The city of Denver seems to
be the first to present the spec
tacle of political corruption riding
in gilded chariots, preceded by
brass bands, announced by her
aids, accompanied by outriders
and applauded by the multitude.
The Tweeds, Quays, MurPhys
and Coxes sought secrecy and
courted respectability: but the
Evanses steal senates, governor
ships, courts and franchises in
the glare of the sunlight and
midst the blasts of trumpets.
They corrupt legislatures, courts
and public officers with open
abandon, and at least in the city
of Denver, have made the dis
tinct1on between the words dem
ocrat" and republican as be-
tween tweedledec and tweedle
DUN.
So that the issue. in this state is
not one of political politics. 1t
is not the tariff question; not the
money question; not the Philip
pine question; but it is the ques-
ton OF the very existence of
popular government.
The republican party in Colo
RADIO is chained to the corpora
ton syndicate like Prometheus
to the rock, while the poisonous
beaks of the vultures Of greed
and graft, pierces its vitals.
The only hope lies in the abil-
IIty of the democratic party to
purify itself by means of an
appeal to the conscience and
strength of the masses. This
lies within the province and
power of the democratic press.
Beginning with every primary
in every county. lel the issue be
a. distinctly made as was that OF
1896, when that one convention
OF the people nominated the one
American, whom pride, ambition,
hattery, abuse, threats, fear nor
inducement, has ever swerved
from his righteous course.
Then let US 60 to battle as we
must, armed only with the con-
sciences and determination OF
brave and honest men and wo-
men, standing for an honest
course, as against the intimidation
