DENVER REPUBLICANS s..
DESERVE TO WIN

The Republicans Of Denver in their
platform endorsed unreservedly the
local option law passed by the last
legislature, and their candidate for
mayor expressed his sympathy with
the idea of keeping the saloon out of
residence districts in the city. So
thoroughly satisfied with this were
the anti-saloon people that the state
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
league and its state president gave out
an official statement endorseing the
Republican platform and ticket in the
strongest terms, and ending as fol-
lows: THE plank in the Republican
platform Is strong and comprehen-
sive and ali that the anti-saloon
league could ask for, and upon such
a platform Mr.. Phelps deserves to
win" With this element of support
lined up behind him, it is hard to see
how the Republican candidate can
possibly be beaten.
