The Glenwood post., 1908-10-17
From saturday's Daily Post.


With words of praise for the efforts
of President Roosevelt to knock out
the obnoxious trusts and with express
sions of implicit faith in ZION. W. II.
Taft to carry out the program as start
ed by the strenuous president. ex-Gcv.
Charley Thomas, John T. Barnett Of
Ouray and Senator Tully Scott held
the attention, for awhile, last night in
the opera house of some 200 people,
! Although seats for. nine were provid.
ed on the stage, but Ave of them were
taken, three by the speakers, one by
Mayor e. E. Drach and the other by
Fred G. Ewing and Judging by the
squirming these two last gentlemen did.
thsy would have preferred being at
tho rear door. =.
= Barnett opened the AFFAIR sfter being
introduced by Mr.. Drach. His talk
was tame in the extreme, but the crowd
gave him very close attention when he
praised the efforts Of President Roose
welt.
He took the same tack used so fire.
quently in this campaign and scored
Uncle Joe Cannon. He seemed to fear
that some Of the Glenwood people we're
going back to Illinois and would there
cast a vote for Uncle Joe. His speel
about "shall the people rule, )" had al
ready been answered by Mayor Drach,
who on presenting him to the people
said: "1t is once more up to the peo'
pie to say what kind of government
they want for, the future.'' This state
ment that the people have been ruling
ali these years and would aagin have
the opportunity in November of saying
what sort of government we should
have the next four years.
Mr.. Barnett paid his respects to Debs
and the Socialists by saying their lead
er was simply seeking hotoriety. He
referred to the Denver platform as the
"great chart Of needed legislation, to
guide the great ship of state" but he
failed to say just where the harbor
would be found and as the Democrats
have sailed under so many eolors these
past few years, he may have had good
reasons for not telling the destination
Of the ship. =, He referred to Mr.. Roose
velt a. the "strenuous president, who
desired to bring about the needed re-
forms" In referring to the state tick
ct and the convention held in Pueblo,
no said the people and candidates be-
loved they had been given square
deal, although II took four days to ar
range the slate. But Glenwood Demo
Gratis had taste of this same wrang
ling in this city in June and know
just to what extent the people ruled in
that affair and of how Thomas and
others supported Bob speer and how he
later made a speech favoring corpora
tions. s
When Mr.. Barnett finished his talk,
he was accorded the same amount of ap-
plause that is given the little school
boy after having delivered his speech
along the lines Of "Twinkle, twinkle
little star"
rTully Scott of Cripple Creek followed
Mr.. Barnett and although he was sick,
he succeeded in delivering the same
speech that he delivered in Grand June
ton the night before, even to the point
Of falsifying the senate records of the
last Legislature. He took jab at Sen
ator DeI>ong by counting his vote di-
rectly opposite to the way it was cast.
but a. that is Speer methods, first, last
and ali the time, no one was surprised.
Mr.. Scott referred several times to the
wonderful record made by E. I. Taylor,
but there was absolute silence in the
room. He said, in speaking of Taylor;
81 am glad to know he is entering on
q wilder-I mean wider field of la
bSs.'' Fhs Assti part Of the sentence
sesmed ITO tiease the people, but the
eaect wss spoiled by the correction.
He referred TO Barney Napier and
there was even greater silence and he
n must have thought, "Gee, this bunch
does NOT Sppfovs Of either Of them and
Thosias WIN iAsvs to try the wife rack
He paid his respects to the speaker
of the house in Washington and to the
supreme court and its actions in taking
parf III eiestion' matters but during the
/ whole talk ke failed 70 say that sena
