DEFENDS COLORADO
Congressman Cook sharply Arrnigns
Administrations.


WASHINGTON. D. C.. January a.

President, Speaker Cannon and oil
members of Congress. the Justices of
the Supreme Court, members OF the

ton newspaper correspondents. Hon.
George w. Cook. Republican Congress-
man at-large from Colorado. severely
nrraigns the administration for its
course in prosecuting alleged infrac-
tons Of the public land laws in Colorado.
Congressman Cook insists that great
injustice has been done to number of
Colorado's most honorable. upright
and law-abding business men in that
they have been unnecessarily branded
as criminals through overzenlousness
OF the government in ordering indict-
rnents without furnishing proper evil
dence. He cites the recent decision of
Federal Judge Robert Z. Lewis at Den
YER in which he puashcd indictments
fngainst some thirty citizens, to show
I that government prosecutors were
overactive in their efforts to punish
land frauds.

sion recorded in Colorado by Judge
Lewis. Congressman Cook Says:
THE unprecedented and dictatorial
encroachment of the executive against
the legislative and judicial depart

daily threat to the peace and pros
perity OF the republic and should be
knocked in the head by the constitu-
tional decision OF the Supreme Court OF
the United States.
Our citizens in Colorado have with
patience submitted to these prosecu-
4 tons for alleged offenses. and every
fair minded citizen should join in COM
1nendation of the fact that we have in
our beloved country true judges who
have the courage Of their convictions
