comes back in his paper and says that
Patterson is an 'infamous, malicious
and premeditated liar. scoundrel and
perjurer." All this is choice reading
Sor the subscribers OF the two papers.
and as the principals must of necess-
ity through their former close con-
nection have got to learn each other
very well. those on the outside are
wondering how near the truth each is
getting.
The fact Is. peope have come to the
conclusion that they need no reforms
at the hands OF Patterson and his
tribe. for their reforms are merely the
words on which they hope to ride to
party success. What the people want
and what they are demanding in Colo
RADIO is real reform, u reform is
needed
Colorado for four years has had an
efficient administration of its affairs.
Some reforms are sought by the peo-
pie of the state. These reforms must
be secured through the legislature.
The Republican party stands for the
best of these reforms. The platform
or the PanuhlIcop nart,, q, ,ot - ,x,o-a
tumble OF empty words. The Repub-
lican party always has kept its prom
ises and it will keep the promises set
out In Its platform this year The
people OF the state have confidence in
the Republican party, and they are
getting very tired Of the bowling yel-
low journal reformers. who have
never reformed anything in their
lives, not even themselves"
There is much of truth in the words
Of this official. He has had an op-
portunity to study the state and its
needs for some years and his words
should be considered well. 1t was the
Republican party which brought
peace out of anarchy, and restored
confidence in the state The misrule
OF years fostered by the Democrats
had given rise to a condition OF af-
fairs that was intolerable, and the Re-
publican party corrected the crying
evils.
Thomas Patterson. all around re-
former, has been six years In the SEN
ate OF the United States, yet Colo
RADIO has yet to hear that he ever in
all that time raised his voice effec-
lively to enact any Of the reforms
which he rants over in his yellow
journals. Mr.. Patterson jumped
party caucus and for that was ac-
corded some notoriety for Patterson.
That was what he sought. notoriety,
and that he got. He is always seek
ing notoriety for Patterson and he
seeks nothing else. The rights of
the people are no concern Of his ex-
cept as his blatant advocacy of these
rights serves to give Patterson some
notoriety. He insists on staying in
the lime light. This fact is so well
known to the men Of his own party
that they will not trust him, and they
are openly in revolt against him. Yet
this is the man who Is leading the
Democratic hosts OF office-seekers
during this campaign.
The Republicans have placed DR..
Buchtel to lead their ticket, a man
who for years has labored construc-
lively for the upbuilding Of Colorado.
DR.. Buchtel is for real reforms that
reform as he said in his letter OF ac-
ceptance.
The people of the state are learning
these things rapidly and they will
make known their decision on No
vember G. The people want real
earnest advocate OF the peoples
rights. They have such man in
