paSrOarls.C rp.G TRUTH

1t is all right to fight hard Tor
your candidate, but TO worp aud dis
tort the truth a. the Puel,lo Chief
tain has been doiag Of late in its
editorial columns IS neither fair nor
cammcndable from partisan stand
point, unless indeed that able Jour
nal has decided to adopt the Denver
Republican brand Of politics
For instance the Chieitain accuses
MIR Bryan of dishonesty and the
best it can prove is that according
10 its opinion. ON a certain argument
he might he mistaken and Mr.. Taft
correct. Now the American people
know Mr. Bryan too well To believe
he is dishonest, either personally or
intellectually.
The Chleftaip stated recently
when Bryan r,turned from his
trip TO Europe l'r announced him
sell unmistakable and unreservedly v
in favor OF the government owner
ship of railroads. Tie editorial
then goes on TO Utterly assail him
Tor abandoning the Issue when he
found twas not popular But every
one who read Mr.. Bryan's New York
speech knows that he did not an
nounce himself as in favor of gov
eminent ownership at the present
time or in the immediate future
Rather he stated that we would try
regulation first. and that it was not
party question. In fact he doubted
whether any considerable body OF
even democratic votes favored gov
ernship His exact words were, in
part, That railroads partake SO
much OF the nature of a monopoly
that they must ULTIMATELY be
come public property, and be
managed by public officials in the
interest of the whole community.
! do not know that the country is
ready for this legislation. do not
know that majority of my own
party favors it."
The great ma jority of citizens feel
like Mr.. Bryan, that we will try regu-
lation first. If the railroads will
not submit to regulation they must
be owned by the people, and we sus-
pect they will not submit. But be-
cause Mr.. Bryan states what he be-
lieves will ultimately happen on q
certain topic is not ground for charg-
ing him with cowardice in not dis
cussing it in this campaign.

Colorado Transcript-Among the
names of possible candidates for the
supreme bench, none has been more
iavorably received than that of Dex-
ter I. Sapp of Gunnison, who is be-

which contest could only come
before him as county Judge.
The question OF whether or not.
he would in either case, have
called in another Judge to act for
him, has but little ifany bearing,
for the reason that he only,
could decide that point.
We believe that about one
week before the last town elec-
ton" he informed his clients
that the questions which might
be raised on every point concern
ing, preliminary, during or after
the election, would of necessity
come before his court, and they
must employ other legal advice,
this resulting in the employment
Of J NJ. McDougal as attorney in
place of Mr.. H.. but we are credi-
bly, informed and believe. that
even after the employment of :.
N. McDougal, he councelled with
bis clients up to, and after Mr.. Me
Dougal was out of the case.
Whether Mr.. Hetherington, as
young man, and young Judge,
can be excused for such rank vio-
lation of the ethics of the legal
profession, and especially the iu-
dietary. seems to us to be the
question for democrats to decide
before the nomination is made
We claim the right, equal with
Mr. H., to think and act on our
standard of right and wrong,
and 80 claiming, we squarely ad-
vocate the nomination of Judge
J. N. McDougal of Gunnison. or
Rudolph Heffner of Pitkin for
county Judge, as men incapable
if elected, of discounting decis-
sions of their court. by legal ad-
vice in advance of hearings in

The questions involved are now
up to democrats of the county.

public sentiment is setting toward
Senator Sapp As democratic nominee
for justice of the supreme court. 1t
is not alone his vel; known ability
as lawyer and personal popularity,
but his action in the last two Colo
RADIO legislatures, that is bringing
strength. The speeches that he
m ade, the bills he opposed and the
