men, but worse luck, the crops would
not realize ANYTHING when sold, as
prices would decline. And he was
right in what he said.
''The greatest man in this country
today is Theodore Roosevelt He is
the greatest in many ways. He is the
greatest in cosmopolitan way. One
part Dutch, one part Scotch and one
part Irish. And again, his father
was northerner and his IN )ther a
southerner.
"The republican party is con-
structionist party, and what have they
done in Culorado1 We have had no
scandal in the state house.
"We have put down insulrection
in Colorado. Lincoln, forty five
years ago, put down an insurrection
in this country of ours. 1t made his
heart bleed to do it, but he had to
do 1t to save the country. We had
to do it to save the state.
'The democratic party is a CON
tentious party. get this definition
from my esteemed friend, Thomas
Mordecia Patterson. and it is about
the BEST definition of democrat that
l ever heard of. 1t seems that the
News and Times (you may have heard
of those papers out here) had mis-.
quoted an important opinion handed
down by Judge Dixon. l sometimes
read the News and Times when l de-
sire the latest news from Satan 8
kingdom. l never believe anything
that see in either one of them.
Judge Dixon went to Senator Pat
terson and showed him the article in
question and told him how untrue the
whole thing was. Why so tits. re-
piled the senator. 1 will see that it
is corrected.
"The next day the correction, So
called, came out, and when Judge
Dixon was asked how it was he an
swered: Why, he has made it worse
than before He then went again to
the senator and said;
Z" Senator Patterson. yon are so
prejudiced that there is no use having
any decent conversation with you.
Replied Patterson: No. judge, you
are wrong. am not prejudiced,
l am simply contentious And thus
it is with the whole democratic party.
1t is contentious one.
"The republican party has put an
end to election frauds. We had an
organization in Denver called the Big
Mitt. 1t was democratic from stem
to stern. Bonynge took twenty seven
ballot boxes to Washington and there
were found nearly 1000 fraudulent
ballots in those twenty seven boxes.
Think of it
"We put an end to the Big Mitt,
smashed it to smithereens We sent
fifty men to Jail and in tine suffers
club there in the Jail not one republi-
can was a member.
Il have put down a few things
that l want to say is in our program.

abominable practice of arraying class
against class in Colorado. 80 that the
employe and employer can get togeth-
81 and understand each other. 1t
means better wages for the employe,
more for the employer.
"Another thing is the securing of
work for the wrecked beings in the
state pepitentiary. They need that
more than anything else to make them
better men and women when their
terms expire and they are released.
There ought to be some way to allow
those unfortunate people to work and
partially earn their keep without in
fringing on the rights of free labor.
It's an awful thing to be deprived of
work. 1t is a hardship and an in
Justice This Is true of normal men
and women. How much more is 1t
true of those abnormal beings we call
criminalsl
"There is another thing that the
republican party has got to do. 1t
has got to keep its promises. We
have said things in our platform that
we intend to keep, We want rail
road rate law. We do not want
them wiped off the face Of the map.
No. not that: but we want more rail
roads in the state. What we do want
is an equitable railway rate law that
will be equitable to shipper and car

senators by direct vote of the people.
We are against the mileage system
and will abolish it, as there is lot
of small graft in it for minor county

of the state fair and square admins
