age honor and purity in all public af-
fairs; he will be true to the cardinal
principles of the Republican party. He
will never neglect the local interests of
Colorado. He will be fully alive to
the mineral and sugar industries of our
state and it's protection. He will in
fuence and encourage capital to come
here and build up enterprises. He has
invested heavily in the construction OF
sugar refineries within our borders and
he has caused others to do so.

hand, every industry, and with his
wonderful financial influence he will
attract the attention of large 1nves-

have ever needed in the past, man
whose mind is given up to the develop
ment of the industry and commerce oil
this state, and who will discontinue
the populistic assaults that have been
made within the past few years upon
our industry and our commerce.
"a United States senator should be
man of generosity and charity. At the
foot of yonder mountains he has
erected his monument to the science
upon which one of our chief industries
most depends. Within the confines OF
this capital city he has placed his gen
erous testimonial to the poor victims
of one of the worst plaques to which
flesh is heir.
81 desire to say that my candidate
belongs to the progressive element OF
the Republican party and that he will
ally himself with the most progressive

ure designed for the interests of lib
erty, freedom and progress in this

and a statesman of the nation, a law
yer whose fame is not bounded by the
continent; devoted to the constitution
as Webster and equally able in ex.
pounding it, with all the hery elo-
quence of Clay in favor of liberty and
law; an ideal senator, typical of the
old school, in whose election both
state and nation would find pride,
whose open record will ever live as his
eulogy in the minds and hearts of his
countrymen, and who stands for the
equality of all men before the law,
whether bearing the scepter or the
shepherds crook; nominate the Hon
orable Charles S. Thomas"
