When Democrats
Are Happy
ONE OF THE MOST STRIKING DE.
scRIPTioNs HEARDiNTHE LAST
CONGRESS WAS IN A SPEECH
~ HON. WILLIAM A. Ro-
pENe OF ILLINOIS.

Mr. Rodenburg said: Mr.. Chair
man, the average Democratic states
man has always been disciple OF the
doctrine of despair. His is the philos-
ophy Of pessimism. To him the Lam
entations of jeremiah are an inspira-
tion, an exhilaration. His face is ever
turned toward the setting and not the
rising sun. He is never SO much at
peace with himself as when he is quar-
reling with someone else. Instinctively
he prefers funeral dirge to wedding
march and believes that the song of
the dying swan would make a most
glorious national anthem (Applause
from the Republican side). When
camping out, purely as a matter of
choice he always pitches his tent
amid the sombre surroundings OF a
cemetery, in the cheerless shade of a
weeping willow Uaughter). He is
happy only when his fellow-man is
sad. Night after night he sends up a
fervent petition to the Great White
Throne asking the Good Lord above to
visit his children with some great dis
aster such as fire or fever, flood or
famine, drouth or death, earthquake
shock or ocean storm, for in vista
tion of that kind his morbid and mel
ancholy mind thinks it sees some
promising political possibilities Gap
plause on the Republican side). 1t
does not take much to encourage him,
however. When he picks up his
morning paper and reads of a default
Ing bank cashier he at once grows
hopeful; when he scans the market re-
ports and finds that the price of wheat
has dropped one cent he actually be-
comes cheerful; and when he learns
that cholera or some other contagion
has broken out in one of our insular
possessions, he simply grows delirious
with joy and forthwith proceeds to
gather together all manner of indorse-
ments for political job under Demo
cratic administration (Great applause
on the Republican side)."

.fhe Candidates
for Governor
THE TWO PRINCIPAL NOMINEES
CoNTRASTED BY AN 1NDE-
PENDENT NEWSPAPER.

As between the Republican and
Democratic candidates for governor
the people of Colorado ought to have
no dificulty in making choice. Jesse
F. Mcdonald, the Republican candf-
date, is a man Of tried ability and ex-
perience. having already given the
state one OF Its most successful almiE-
istrations. Mr.. Mcdonald was elected
lieutenant governor on the ticket with
James H. Peabody In November. 1904,
and succeeded to the governorship the
following January as q result of the
contest which eliminated both Peabody
and Adams. He assumed once ut
time OF unusual stress and excitement:
the whole state was wrought up over
the events growing out of the Western
Federation strike. and seldom has
more bitterness been engendered by q
political contest than was caused by
the struggle for the governorship be-
tween the adherents of Peabody and
Adams.
A strong man was needed at the
helm, man who could step in at the
head of the state administration and
restore peace and order. Governor
Mcdonald proved to be the man for
the place. With his accession came
an end to the turmoil. Throughout
the two years of his administration
the state enjoyed industrial peace and
prosperity. Its affairs probably never
were better administered, and Cover
nor Mcdonald retired from office at the
end of his term with the respect and
confidence of his political opponents
as well as Of all Of his friends.

joices in the appellation Of Honest

fame a few years ago by resigning his
seat in Congress just in time to save
himself from being kicked out because
of his fraudulent election. Undoubtedly

country who might call themselves
Honest Bill, or Honest Jim, or Honest
Tom. with perfect propriety. If they

Who Are
Your Friends?
SHALL COLORADO PLACE HER
sELF IN THE OKLAHOMA
y CLASS?

Al the coming election the state OF
Colorado iis going to line up with one
o. the other6of two groups of states In
tho Union, phall .we line up with New
England, New York, Pennsylvania.
Ohio, Illinois. Michigan and our sister
states In the Rocky Mountain regione
or shall We line up with South Caro-
lima. mississippi. Arkansas and Okla
homa?
Twice the majority of the voters of
this state have elected to get in line
with the latter group.
How did we like it?
Was 1t pleasant for Colorado man
who had first-class mining PROPOSE
tion to present to go to New York and
find as soon as he announces the state
Of his residence, that nobody with
money to invest cared to hear any
thing further about it?
Can anyone rightly estimate the mil
lions Of Investment money that might
have been placed in Colorado which
were withheld simply because this
state in 1896 and 1900 had chosen to
place itself in the Democratic column?
The people of Colorado are among
, the most intelligent in the Union.
Shall we join with the other states of
intelligence or shall we Join with the
group OF states which has the greatest
percentage Of illiteracy, the smallest
school attendance and the smallest
number of voters in proportion to pop
ulation Of any part of the Union?
In the state of Colorado as high
wages are paid to labor as in any state
in the Union. The people of this
state believe in a generous remunera-
ton Of every man who works as the
fruit of his toll. Shall We line up with
the states In which high wages are
| paid, in which union labor secures its
fullest recognition, or shall we line up
with the states where unions are
scarcely recognized and where wages
are lower than in any other portion of
this country?
Now is the time for Colorado to
keep step to the music of the Union
Now Is the time for us to declare by
our majority for the Republican ma
tional and state tickets that we belong
among the progressive states-that we
desire place in the prosperity col
umn. and that by our votes we propose
!, to claim that place.

teamsters at work Immediately to send
the big tubers to the factories ut the
points named or to places along the

mills.
Digging in the sugar beet fields
down the Platte river began this year
from September 14th to 21st, matur-
ing little earlier than In Larimer
county on account of the difference in
altitude. The factory at Sterling
started to slice beets on September
2lst, and the mills at Brush and Fort
Morgan began work September 2Sth.

officials say the crop is being offered
at lively rate along the Platte val
ley. Officials of the Great Western
Sugar Company, which controls the
three Platte valley factories report the
crop equal to that Of last year, both in
quantity and contents as far as can
be judged by expert tests and from
uniformly cheerful reports from the
beet farmers. Comparatively few re-
port shortage of crop and whatever
loss might be suffered in this respect
is probably more than made up in the
increased acreage, over the beet area
