The Republican party in Colorado
has beautiful future-behind it.
The tariff is the mother of trusts
and the Republican party is the moth

apt to vote next month for less wrin-

Sleep not, Democrats! The thief

Taft talks free sugar in the East
and a tariff protection for it in the

stitution in the country which is un-

The DEVILS majority in the Colo

/ The country needs peace, prosper

A vote for Mr.. Bonynge means to
vote to perpetuate Joe Cannon and his
tyrannical rule in the House OF Rep
resentatives.
| Bonynge was put upon the Ways
and Means committee by Joe Cannon,
In order to give Cannon one more
vote by that committee when 1t comes
to revising the tariff upward,
Why are Taft, Roosevelt and their
party afraid to make public the cam
paign contributions? Because they
know Bryans comes from the people
and theirs from the trust.
During the six years Mr.. Bonynge
has served in Congress. his name has
not been identified with the passage
of single measure of any benefit to
the people of this state
When Mr.. Fowler introduced his
currency bill into the House OF Rep
resentatives last winter for providing
for "a guarantee of bank deposits, was
Mr. Bouynge found supporting him?
He was not. for the reason that Joe
Cannon did not permit it.

Up to this time in this campaign,
Mr.. Bonynge has not taken the peo-

what he purposes doing if reelected
