Making a Virtue Of Necessity.

But the fact remains that Honest
John" was the beneficiary of the dis
honor of others. His seat in Congress
was acquired by the operations of the
notorious Big Mitt gang, which -four
ished in Denver few years ago, and
which was permanently retired from
business by the State Supreme Court.
1t is perfectly safe to say that no
worse election frauds than those of the
Big Mitters have been committed any
where in this country, and Mr.. Shat
roth knew, just as everybody else
knew, that they were committed, and
Furthermore that they were committed
in his behalf
Yet, he refused to give up his seat
and yielded only after his opponent,
Mr.. Bonynge, had filed contest be-
fore the House Committee on Elections
and conducted series of exhaustive
investigations which proved beyond
the possibility Of doubt that Mr..
Shafroth's title as congressman was
based on fraud. When it became clear
that the committee intended to oust
him and seat Mr.. Bonynge, Mr.. Shat
roth made virtue Of necessity and
in dramatic speech in the House de.
clared that he could not and would
not profit by fraud-then he made
quick getaway. Hence. the title,
Honest John" title which would be
more appropriate IL its wearer had not
hung on to his seat as long as he
could.
Mr.. Shafroth is without executive
experience, and his record in Congress
does not commend him as man of
extraordinary ability. Mr.. Mcdonald
Is vastly better fitted in every way to
discharge the exacting duties of the
governorship, fact which is so well
known to the people that his election
by big majority Is hardly matter
of doubt.-Colorado Springs Gazette

MeDoNALo's SEAT STOLEN.
The "6ig Mitt" Stole Jesse z. MeDon
AIDS Seat in the Legislature

1t will be well for every Republican
in Colorado to remember that the same
bogus votes that sent John Shafroth
to Congress sent fifteen fraudulently
elected Democratic representatives
and senator's to the Colorado state
assembly.
The frauds by which these Demo
Gratis were elected were well-known.
The Republican members of the house
investigated them and undertook to un-
seat fifteen Democrats who were not
elected.
The fact that they were right in at
tempting to do this was fully demon
strated by the examination of the same
ballots which fraudulently elected
"Honestjohn" Shafroth because Shat
roth's name and all the other Demo
cratic candidates, including the fifteen
legislators, were on the same ballot.
Six thousand of these ballots were
found to have been written by not to
exceed ten persons.
The Democrats had control of the
state senate and they served notice
upon the Republicans in the house in
the usual Democratic way that for ev-
cry members of this fraudulently
elected Denver delegation unseated in
the house, two Republican senators
would be unseated by the senate.
They carried out their threat and
threw out Senator Jesse F. Mcdonald
of Leadville and Senator Dick of Huer-
fano with absolutely no excuse except
political expediency." They even had
the nerve to advise Senator Mcdonald
not to spend any money in contesting
because he would get thrown out any.
/, way. John Shafroth stood for this
theft of Senator McDonald's seat; he
stood for all the crooked work of the
big Mitt" and we have the right to
think that he would do so again II he
could again gain anything political
thereby.
The Holly chieftain., 1908-10-09

Grated, II the Republicans win in the
coming election, solely in the interest
of the policyholders and without doing
wrong or injustice to the insurance
companies.
A vote for Mcdonald and the Repub-
lican ticket is vote to continue this
kind of administration in all state af-
fairs.
Every voter who has an insurance
policy owes it to himself and his ben
eficiaries to vote the Republican tick
ct straight, which guarantees him pro-
lection against wrong-doing by insur-
ance companies.

An example Of Mr.. Bryan's wisdom
and statesmanship is found in an ut.
terance of his on the floor of the House
July 9, 1892, when he arose in his place
and said:
"Mr. Speaker, believe in a suffi.

STATE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT.
Splendid Record Under Republican
Administration.


The State Insurance Department is
one of the most important at the state
capitol. 1t represents the first attempt
of the people to regulate corporations.
1t has been in existence for twenty
five years, but it has only been for the
past two or three years that any at
tempt has been made to strictly ana
vigorously supervise the insurance
companies doing businessstn Colorado.
The Importance of the work of the
department can be appreciated by the
fact that there are 100000 policies or
death certificates now outstanding in
the state, not to mention people who
carry fire and other forms Of insur-
ance. This means that ths policy hold
ers and their direct beneficiaries I'M
this state number easily 100000 people
The insurance department under
takes the gigantic task of seeing that
the legacies which the insurance COM
panies promise these people shall be
paid. It also undertakes to prevent
the operation of fake insurance COM
panies and schemes, and to eliminate
dishonest agents as fast as they can
be discovered by revoking their H.
censes.
The success of the insurance de-
partment under the present Republi-
can administration in driving out ire
sponsible and fraudulent insurance
companies and schemes is not only
well-known throughout the state, but
has attracted attention throughout the
United States.
Colorado insurance laws passed at
the last session by the Republican
legislature were drawn up by Commits
sioner E. e. Rittenhouse and have so
successfully stood the analysis Of en-
inent lawyers and the tests of the
courts that these laws are known
throughout the country as the Colo
RADIO Model Code" But these splendid
laws would be of no value If they were
not enforced. To enforce rigid super
visory laws over great corporations i:
not always an easy thing to do because
such violators Of the state laws or reg
ulations have immense sums of mon
ey available to fight the commissions
who undertakes such enforcement, IL
the courts and even in politics.
The State Insurance Department ha
not only pretected policyholders ant
the honest agents from irresponsible,
concerns. but it has compelled the re
sponsible and solvent companies t.
practice proper methods in Colorado.
Furthermore. the Colorado Insuranc
Department has invited every citizel

of that law that this increase becomes
necessary. The amendment was agreed
to.
