MAJOR DREYFUS
HAS CLOSE CALL
Military Writer Attempts to Murder
Man for Whose Liberty Zola
Fought and Won.
Attack Occurred at Close Of Cere
monies of canonzation Of
zola, in the Pantheon, Drey-
fus Escaping With Slight
Wound in Arm.

Paris.-Just at the close OF the GER
emonies attending the canonization
of Emile Zola, in the Pantheon, when
the president of France, the premier
and a host of ministers of state were
taking their departure, Louis Anthene
Gregori, military writer of note,
drew revolver and fired two shots
pointblank at Major Alfred Dreyfus,
for whose liberty Zola fought and
won.
Men distinguished in all walks OF
ife filled the Pantheon, and when the
Ihots rang out there was intense ex,
element in fear that the president
had been assassinated, but even the
attempt on the life of Major Dreyfus
created a profound impression. Sol
diers speedily surrounded Gregori
and he was taken to Jail, bruised and
bleeding, while his clothes were al
most torn from his body.
The affair has created tremendous
sensation in Paris, and the motive
of the would-be assassin is the cause
OF much mystification, for Gregori, in
stead of being an ordinary fanatic,
such as is carried away by the politi
cal passions of the moment, is man
of mature age, having been born in
1874, and was highly esteemed in the
circles where he was known. Al
though born of Italian parents, he
has been an ardent Frenchman for
years, and has written authoritatively
on military subjects, enjoying close
relations with many French officers.
Some do not hesitate to express the
opinion that he may have been the
tool of little clan of royalists, who,
under the name of LAction Fran
caise, have never ceased to insist
that the court of cessation illegally
prevented an appeal of the Dreyfus
case, nor abandoned hope of seeing
revision favorable to the contention
OF the nationalists. Major Dreyfus

The last payment of the inducement

cratic candidate for the United States
Senate, was paid. it is claimed. on
September 3Oth. Since that date Mr..
Hughes. through the Denver Post and
on the stump, has bitterly attacked
Senator Guggenheim.
There are two reasons for this:
First, the Democrats cannot attack the
Republican ticket, record or platform.
Second, Charles j. Hughes Jr., hopes
to create Il religious prejudice against
Mr.. Guggenheim.
The people of Colorado should un-
derstand the motives for the outrage
GUS abuse which Mr.. Hughes is caus-
ing to be heaped upon the Republican
senator Mr. Guggenheim is not run
ming for an office. he is not trying to
put any Individual in an office in the
gift of the people Of Colorado. He
was elected two yea"s ago, practically
without opposition, and has faithfully
and satisfactorily performed the du,
ties of his office. The people of Colo
rado will pass upon his work at the
close of his term and commend or
condemn it as they see fit and the at.
tempt to make him an issue at this
time is made solely for the purpose of
creating an unjust and unrighteous
prejudice against public official who

campaign. This vile, slanderous at
tack is in keeping with the Democratic
attacks upon the Supreme Court and
with its attack upon Roosevelt, Nc

QUESTIONS FOR DEMOCRATS.

Why after hearing the evidence of
the Big Mitt frauds in the Bonynge
contest early in 1908 did Shafroth re-
fuse to permit the ballot boxes to be
opened in Denver by the proper au-
thority so Bonynge could prove the
correctness of the evidence already
heard by Shafroth?
Why did he put Bonynge to an ex-
pense of $4,000 and the government to
the expense of $4,000 in dragging
those boxes and the contest to Wash
ington alter he knew that he was
fraudulently elected?
1t was the following year when he
knew positively that the committee
was going to unseat him that he got
up in Congress and bade his colleagues
a fearful adieu. Was that an honest
performance?

l. LabOr Is
Appreciative
SEES DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN PROMISES AND
PERFORMANCES,

If there is anyone in the United
States who realizes that the Demo
cratic party is party of words and
not deeds, it is the laboring man.
Since the palmy days of 1896 the Ia
boring man has been the butt of Dem
ocracy's principal agitations. Every
thing the party aspired to accomplish
was for the laboring man and him
alone.
Yet the real benefits to the laboring
man have come from the Republican
party. 1t has been a party of deeds
and not words. And today. when Mr..
Samuel Gompers endeavors to reach
Iown in his pocket and hand over the
labor vote to William Jennings Bryan
his action is met with a chorus of dis.
approval from all parts of the country.
Mr.. Gompers apparently does not
know his own following. If he visits
the Trades Assembly of Denver OF
any other large city of the United
States he will discover that the wise.
conservative leaders of those organiza,
tionS are RepuDHcanS ana not Demo-
Gratis. They have tired of following a
vain hope and prefer instead to lend
their support to the party of progress.
There was never a time in Colorado
when class lines have been less def
mite than they are at present. The
people of this state are not divided
against one another. Capital and la
Dor are now firmly united in develop
ing the resources of this great state.
The artisan in many lines is on a
par with the professional man, and
in some instances his earnings are
greater. The credit for this is due to
the Republican party.
The Republican party stilled the
harsh voice of anarchy and rebellion
in Colorado. 1t rescued the honest la
boring man from the tolls of the agi-
tator and directed him along the path
of peace and prosperity. Certainly the
laboring man in Colorado will vote the
Republican ticket this fall.

QUESTIONS FOR DEMOCRATS.

Did not the Democratic minority in
Congress vote against the Dingley pro-
tective tariff which placed the pres
ent protection upon beet sugar, wool,
wheat, potatoes. lead, zinc and other
products of the state of Colorado?
Did your party not oppose the pro-
lection of these industries?
Has your party reformed?
Does the Democratic party now
promise to continue this Republican
protection?
You know your party does nothing
of the sort, don't you?
1t promises to take off these tariffs
and to again paralyze the industries of
Colorado in order to establish the free
trade system in this country. Can you
deny it?
