The daily sentinel., 1908-10-30

ator belongs speech was not an ideal
product of prejudice and criticism
and stranger to argument we give
it up.
The Senator held the close atten-
tion of his hearers during his rousing,
whirlwind talk. He undertook to
touch upon all state and national
issues but his dealing with each issue
might be called narration of that
issue not an argument. Frequently
he was enthusiastically applauded by
his many party friends. There is no
question but what Senator DeLong is
one of the best campaigners the Re-
publican party in Colorado possesses.
He has good voice, pleasant de-
livery, he is entertaining and he is
good oratorical actor. There is more
markings of an orator about him than
there are markings of reasoner or
argumentative speaker. We enjoy
hearing the genial Senator talk.
The Daily Sentinel was well adver-
tiscd by senator DcI.ong and he
didn't say anything mean about us
either. We are thankful. The boosts
will do us much good. From his talk
il was easy to judge that there was
only one paper in Grand Junction
worth while, for he never intimated
that there was another paper here.

Sentinel of S125.OOO raised for the
High Line canal, he advised his hear
ers to read the Daily Sentinel to find
out where the Democratic party
stands, he declared that the Daily
Sentinel had the collie over the fact
that the mayor wasn't there" in re-
ferring to the banquet given Senator
Guggenheim by a little clique here
once upon time. Said that he was
anxious TO see The Sentinel tomor-
row." Just after he had delivered
sublime tribute to Simon. He read
the article from The Sentinel regard
ing the high prices received for our
cantaloupes and shouted "Hurrah for
The Sentinel may it contain many
more such boosts" He gave this
illustration to show that there is no
hard times now.
Senator DeLong undertook to apol-
ogize for the stealth of the seat of
Gov. Adams four years ago and the
handing it over to Mcdonald. the
present gubernatorial nominee. He
said that Mcdonald was entitled to
1t although he was not a candidate
for the office yet in the same breath
Senator DcIsong declared that he was
one of those men who believes there
knows who WAS honestly elected gov
crnor of Colorado four years ago, ow-
ing to the prevalence of fraud" The
Senator failed to state that he voted
to seat Alva Adams, all honor to him
for doing.
The gentleman made an abusive
attack on John Shafroth, ridiculed
his action in resigning his seat in
Congress, and branded his action in
that matter as sham and a fake.
Wonder why DeLong don't tell of the
tribute Congressman Hogg, republi-
can, paid to Shafroth's honesty ut
that time.
After denouncing Mr.. Shafroth De-
Long held up his nands and shouted
God deliver us from the kind of
honesty Shafroth claims"
II was heart rending picture of
Senator Simon that DeLong painted
He got very mushy in praising Gug-
genheim yet he declared that when
the Democrats say that Simon Gug-
genhcim is an issue in this campaign
they lie. He declared that 1t was race
prejudice and wealth prejudice that
caused opposition TO Guggenheim. He
declared that COLORADO did mighty
good thing when she sent Guggcn-
helm to the Senate" He made long
defense of Guggenheim.
He told in pathetic manner how
simon had given the newsboys n din.
/
for the poor children and this alone
entitled him to a seat in the Senate.
He called Simon "that generous
man." Then he proceeded to detail
all that Simon has done for Colorado.
/ He purposely slighted the effective
work Senator Teller has done for the
state in past years and gave Guggen-
| helm in several instances credit that
belonged to Mr.. Teller but then Tel
Ter is II Democrat.
One of the most startling remarks
of the Senator in this connection was,
II went down to Denver to the legis-
lature that was 10 elect II senator.
filled with prejudice against Guggcn-
helm but after l had II little private
conference with him, l decided that
was for him, that he was the man for
the place and | am mighty proud that

helm. shall always he proud of it,
Then Senator DeLong went after
Charles j. Hughes, after paying the
man a high personal tribute.
He took fling at the saloons and
then talked again of state admin;stra-
tions. He then jumped to national
) issues and touched on many of them
.. briefly. He called the bank guaranty
plan lack rabbit proposition
In closing the Senator gave the Re
publican party credit for every thing
. under the sun that was good and holy
and then appealed for straight votes
for the Republican ticket.
I The Senator failed to answer the
scorching given him here by Senator
) I ully Scott. He sidestepped that very
cutely.
