last night addressed several large
audiences composed mostly of the
working class. He promised that
If elected he would give them a
secretary of labor in the cabinet.

Mr.. Bryan, land the more l travel
and mingle with the people, the
more convinced | am that will be
elected; and If l am elected, in
tend to have a secretary of labor
as member of the cabinet. The
organized workingmen of this
country are too great not to have a
representative on the presidents
advisory body. From this secre-
tary should seek advice on legis-
lation of interest to the working

say. This wonderful institution
and this magnificent man have
fallen victims to Denver's rotten
pcrStical system.
The president of the Denver
Telephone Co. has refused to per-
nit Judge Lindsey to be nominated
on either the republican or demo-
cratic tickets. e. B. Field is his
name.
Is 1t necessary to comment
further on Denver's municipal cor
ruption? e. B. Field said:

who will say that is dangerous. He

holder of the telephone company
who came to him as friend of the
juvenile court. This friend saw the
suppression of Lindsey as a calam-
ity to the city-to the children of
Denver, and to the cause of child
hood everywhere.
To the political committeeman,
Field said: You get no money il
Lindsey is put on"
That settled it with the politi-
clans. That determined the action
of the party" organizations. That
foreclosed the verdicts of the con
ventions."
And this Is what might be called
government by the system"
How about the people of Denver?
They have nothing to say The
rulers of Denver are four public
utility corporations-the Tramway
company. the water company, the
gas and electric light company and
the telephone company. William G.
Evans of the Tramway company is
head boss. Mr.. Field is his first as
sistant. Evans generally accepts
Fields advice, and what Evans
says goes. All four utility corpora
tons are united in controlling by
corrupt methods the politics of
Denver, and exploiting its people.
Judge Lindsey has refused to
keep silence about the political
and corporate rottenness of Den
yer. That is his sin. He was
warned not long ago by an agent
of Evans, who came to him and
said:
Judge, you can have anything
you want if you will only keep still.
/ You can have both the party nom
; nations for Judge of the juvenile
court, and you can have all the
laws you want from the legislature
to help your kids. But you have
