II will be well for every Republican
bogus votes that sent John Shafroth
TO Congress sent fifteen fraudnlently
elected Democratic representatives
and senators 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 I'm.
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 sam.
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 unsea,ed In
the house. two Republican senators
would be unsca,ed by the senate,
They carried ont their threat and
threw on, senator Jesse y. Mcdonald

the nerve TO advise Senator Mcdonald
no, TO spend amy money In con,csting

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 a few years ago, and
which was permanently retired from
business by the State Supreme Court.
II 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 MIR. 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 a contest be-
fore the House Committee on Elections
and conducted a series Of exhaustive
Investigations which proved beyond
the possibility Of doubt that MIR.
Shafroth's title as congressman was
based on fraud. When II 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 n
quick getaway. Hence. the title,
Honest John" title which would be
more appropriate II Its wearer Ind not
hung ON to his seat as long as he
could
MIR. Shafro,h Is without executive
experience. and his record In Congress
does not commend him as a man OF
extraordinary ability. Mr.. Mcdonald
Is vastly better fitted In every way 10

rovernorship. a fact which Is so well
known to the people that his election

THE PROPER REMEDIES.

II Is human nature to seek new rem

thoroughly. Where banking is CON
Quoted most conservatively, no new
patent medicine finance is demanded.
In states which know the fewest fail
ures there is no demand for the Okla
homa plan. No demand from them
for loose system of encouragement
to weak and wild banking! If Mr..
Bryan wishes to invent device by
which he should weaken himself with
every clear-headed man. he has dis
covered worthy successor to free sill
yer. Mr.. Root spoke with fairness
when he said:
This Is another patent financial
nostrum, advertised to catch the fancy
Of the multitude; and II should be sup
pressed under the pure food law until

commission, which, II the politicians
and political exigencies permit, may
be expected to meet those needs. A
still more important remedy lies ready
to our hand. Let us have sound laws,
but let us especially appoint inspectors
not for political insideness, but for
honesty and knowledge. and we shall
discover that financial health Is better

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.
II has been In existence for twenty
five years. but 1t has only been for the
past two or three years that any at.
tempt has been made to strictly and
vigorously supervise the insurance
companies doing business in Colorado.
The Importance OF the work Of the
department can be appreciated by the
fact that there are 10000 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 the policy hold.
ers and their direct beneficlaries in
this state number easily 100000 people.
The insurance department under.
takes the gigantic task of seeing that
the legacics which the insurance com.
panies promise these people shall he
paid. II also undertakes to prevent
the operation OF fake insurance com
panics and schemes. and TO eliminate
dishonest agents as fast as they can
be discovered by reyoking their II.
censes.
The success Of the Insurance de.
partment under the present Republl.
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 nt
the last session by the Republican
legislature were drawn up by Commis-
sioner Il. T.. Rlttcnhouse 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" hut these splendid
laws would be Of no value II thcy were
not enforced. To enforce rigid super
ylsory laws over grca, corporations IL

such ylolatorR of the state laws or reg
