He says in effect that the mere
possession of great wealth, snaccom-
panied by other qualifications, bet
ser fits . man for high office than
ability, integrity and loyalty TO par
~ principles; he takes the position
that all considerations of ability, in
tegrity and belief in party principles
should be eliminated if they conflict
with the demands of the oreaniza-

The elsctioa of the maa 10 in sb-
solste contrsvsntioa Of both the ~
ser and spirit Of The repsblicsn plat
form. You will remember that
Governor Buchtsl, in his message on
the Sth Of this month, called o1r At
sention particularly to the pledges
we had made in oar platform TO the
people Who elected wa, aud also re-
Minded No that it wss osr dnty TO
redeem thoss promises, both in the
spirit and in the letter.
Let MS see, then, what the Repub-
Iicsn platform says: I'VE favor .
msssure which will provide for the
expression by the people of their
preferences for candidates for the
United States senate"
DO you interpret that 10 mean that
at this time, in the face of this pro-
mise, you should elect man who
would undoubtedly be low man in =
contest of fifty men for that place :?
Would you like to have the people
of Colorado rise up now and give an
extemporaneous expression of their
choice for United States Senator :?
How would it suit your present pur-
poses ? would ask you, would it
not be in keeping with the spirit
and law of this provision, and do
not you and ] absolutely violate it
when we seek to put into the high
cs Office in the state this man, W ho
would be the last choice of the peo-
pie?
Listen again to our party plat
folm: I'VE recommend the enact
ment of law governing the railway
commerce of the state along the
lines Of the national rate law
LAUGHS AT THE LAW
DO YOU not know that Interstate
Commerce Commissioner Clark.
while hearing evidence in Pueblo a
few weeks ago, unearthed the fact
that the American Smelling and Re-
fining company. of which this man,
Mr.. Guggenheim, is the head, was
receiving preferential rates, below
the public tariff granted to other
shippers, in violation of the federal
Law Do you think, therefore, that
this man will support President
Roosevelt in his efforts to extend the
powers of this same railroad COM
mission Do YOU think that a man
with such interests and such busi-
ness associatians can honestly repre-
sent the people of Colorado? Do you
not think that his election is a vio-
lation of our party platform
Listen again to the Republican
platform: We recommend the en-
actment by the legislature Of an anti
trust Law, which will prohibit COM
