Guarantee
Of Deposits
A FINANCIAL BRAIN STORM WoR-
THY OF POPUlISTIC
DAYS!

The guarantee OF bank deposits
comes under the head of pretty the
ories" which have been advanced by
the Democratic party in recent years
1t is designed to catch the simple
minded, but will scarcely appeal to
business men and others understand
ing finance.
The proposition to tax banks to Sc
cure deposits ranks with some OF the
chimeras brought forward by Mr.. Bry-
an in 1896. In that year it was sol
EMMY propounded that the price OF
wheat was governed by the price of
silver and that they must rise and
fall together, with other equally absurd
propositions. These fallacies were ex-
ploded In due time. just as the guar
antee of bank deposits will be.
Conducting a bank is a business
proposition requiring business ability.
1t Is not always easy to make 1t sue
cessful The depositor goes to the
bank and leaves his money there as
an investment paying him 81. The
banker assumes charge OF the invest
ment and fixes the rate of interest he
will pay. But for him to guarantee the
deposit, as proposed in the Democratic
platform, he would have to insure the
investment, which no business man
would deem conservative or safe.
In the correction Of abuses in high
financial circles the country should not
adopt measures SO extreme that they
would undermine all business safety.
1t is not necessary to kill the cat to
cure the disease and unfortunately
even the banking business is not so
certain that it can accomplish the i'm
possible
II Democratic orators want to talk
finance. especially in Colorado, they
might explain some Of the peculiar
deals OF Democratic state officials
when they were in office. Also how it
happens that Democratic administra-
tions always leave the state in debt
and Republican administrations pull it
out. This sort of financial discussion
Is not SO taxing on the intellect and
Is much more to the point.

Why Doesn't
ShafrOth Clean
His Own Nest?

Honestjohn" Shafroth in a recent
speech said that if he were elected
governor he would put Mark Woodruff
in jail.
Woodruff was formerly register of
the State Land Board. 1t is alleged
that he improperly favored the lease OF
land to corporation. The state has
suffered absolutely no loss from any
OF Woodruff's actions in connection
with this case.
1t is safe to say that IL there had
been any evidence indicating that
Woodruff violated any law, he would
nave been prosecuted. II Honorable
John Shafroth thought there was such
violation and such evidence in exist.
ence, it was his duty as a prominent
citizen, an adopted Democrat and an
able lawyer, to prosecute Woodruff
himself or cause him to be prosecuted
by the authorities.
But he now says that If Woodruff is
within the confines of the state when
ne, "Honestjohn," becomes governor.
he will put him in Jail.
"Honestjohn had better look around
in his own political family circle.

State Engineers office are greater
than those OF any similar department

AT Once
THE DEMOCRATIC IDEA OF HON
EsTJOHN'S HASTE IN ADMIT
TING DEFEAT.

One Of the supplements issued with
the Democratic weekly papers OF this
state contains a cut of Mr.. Shafroth
and a most interesting statement
about that gentleman. Speaking to
his readers the author says:
They know that he (Mr Shafroth)
is as honest as the day is long in pol,
itics as well as in everything else.
That he served our great state in the
United States Congress with credit to
himself and his home people. without
considering politics. and they will re
member that upon his second term
when it was subsequently shown that
fraud had been practiced in certain
Denver precincts and it was doubtful
as to whether he really did receive a
fair majority. he did not wait for the
courts to determine the matter but re-
signed at once"
Al Once.
The election referred to was held in
November. 1902 Mr. Shafroth aban-
doned the contest February l.. 1904.
Before he ever took his seat in that
Congress he was perfectly aware OF
committed In the Denver sluns In the
contest which was instituted by Mr..
Bonynge, Mr.. Shafroth put every OBJ
stacle in his way that was possible
1r.l n(
great expense to the public and after
the case had dragged along for months
and after he had cross-examined many
OF these witnesses, Mr. Shafroth put
in brief alleging that no fraud OF
consequence had been committed.
So, He did not wait for the courts
to determine the matter." The courts
had nothing to do with the congress
sional contest. Each House is made
by the Constitution the sole Judge oi
the qualification and election of its
own members. 1t was only after the
Democratic members of the election
committee had told Mr.. Shafroth that
they should be compelled, in face OF
such overwhelming evidence, to vote
against him and unseat him, that he
withdrew "at once"
For nearly year he drew his salary
as congressman-almost $5,00O-when
he knew that he was not elected
And yet We are told that he resigned
"at once!"
How could he resign an Office to
which he was never elected?

Vicious Attack
on High Court
SHAFROTH AND HUGHES KNOW
THE TRuTH-WILL THEY
TELL IT7

JONI r. SndITOtu anu SHdTleS -
Hughes, Jr, Democratic candidates for
governor and United States senator
respectively, have for years been EN-
ployed as the attorneys for the Den
yer utility corporations. Shafroth by
one of them and Hughes by two or
three of them. They have been very
closely associated in a professional
and social way with the men at the
head OF these corporations.
They have also known the members
Of the Supreme Court for many years,
socially and professionally.
Democratic press and orators have
attacked the Supreme Court since the
decisions in the Western Federation
cases. the Democratic election frauds
case and in the Patterson contempt
case, rendered nearly four years ago.
They have charged that the majority
members Of the court were either con-
trolled or improperly Influenced in
these decisions by the men who con-
troll the Denver utility corporations
and by the railway attorneys.
Notwithstanding the fact that this
charge is absolutely false, and that
Messrs. Shafroth and Hughes both
know it as false, they permitted a
plank to be put in the Democratic plat
form attacking the Supreme Court to
satisfy the radicals who desired re-
venge upon the Supreme Court. They
thus made these charges oficially as
| a party.
shafroth and Hughes, being on inti-
mate and confidenti relations with
the heads Of the Denver corporations,
know positively whether or not there
10 any truth in this charge. In fact
they know that this 10 . vile sIander,
but up to the present time they have
not had the courage to defend their
employers for fear that they might be
charged with repudiatine the Demo.
eatic platform.
The people Of Colorado have the
right to demand that Mr. Shafroth and
Mr.. Hughes either denounce these
charges as untrue ana uelenu the
honor and integrity Of their employers
| and of the Supreme Court or to say
that they are true and produce their
/ evidence. They are now standing on
this outrageous Supreme Court plank
and they should be made to support ii
| or denounce it.
IT is AN INSULT TO THE PEG.
PILE OF COLORADO FOR EITHER
OF THESE GENTLEMEN TO AT,
TEMPT TO ADDRESS AN AUDI
ENCE PUBLICLY WITHOUT TELL
ING THE TRUTH ABOUT THESE
CHARGES AGAINST THE SUPREME
COURT.
This is plank in their own plat
form. Make them discuss 1t.

GOV. HUGHES TO
BE NOMINATED


New York, Aug elias S. Sher-
man, republican candidate for vice
president, today made the announce
ment that at today's conference with
President Roosevelt at Sycamore Hill,
it was developed that the consensus of
opinion was favorable for the nomin-
alton OF Governor Hughes as q can
didate to succeed himself
He spoke for no individual, but that
this belief was based on the fact that
Hughes candidacy was broader than
questions involved in New York state
politics.
The statement made today unques-
tionably viii put an end TO the or
ganization Of opposition to the can
didacy of Governor Hughes, although
it is possible that certain individuals
will continue to voice their protest
against the continuance Of Hughes as
the head of the republican ticket in
the state.
With President Roosevelt Taft,
Sherman, Hitchcock, and several New
York members of congress and other
state leaders for Hughes 1t is not be-
1ieve possible that the fight against
the denomination Of Hughes can gain
any headway In fact, political lead
ers are now predicting that no other
name will be presented to the conven-
ton
