is Ed Kent making run for tha
Slo0 reward offered for the blgges
mar In Colorado? When l ston :,
read That card he had published in IN,
, democrat tOct. 1S) l feel like takin,
iohs' last look at my poor old 800
II Ed cannot stretch the ruth as In,
. as any person ever saw, then | mis-,
my guess. Here are the facts. Ef
Kent came to interview me in reparf
10 that 500 reward. The wnv be
started off, did not know but thar
.uu oeen another earthquake In Cali
iornia' but by the time he got out n,
breath. found he was only talking
ABOUT That 800. He tried to tell ma
wh"t Dig mistake I had made. and
now II had not hung that notice
IN the window the Socialists might
nave elected three of their candidates.
as II was well known In Democratic ic
neauquarters that the Socialists bad
made big gain all over the country
lie also said Dave Day should mt Ia
heid Ton that editorial as IL was in
.he Denver Times, but when / told
Mr. Kent that Dave had 1t In the pem.
ocrat as an editorial and not ms from
the Times, and that he Daye Dav1
was always harping that everything
IN the Democrats editorials he Dave
Day) was accountable for, then l had
nothing to take back. and I say 40
yet. also told Mr.. Kent that IL Dave
Day would publish in the Democrat
that the item was taken from the
Denver Times l would apoloeize IN
Dave Day and would hang another
notice In the window to that effect
henceforth went and took my notice
from the window, not that / was afraid
9, n,d dlosss9g 80 sse m9neyi yi., but te gIye Mr..
until The Herald reprinted? Oh. no
He would have been the great light IL
the Herald would only keep off the
grass. but when the Herald printed
1t in bold type. that is what hit the
tender spot, and Dave henceforth sent
his man Friday to bring me up to
the Democrat office, and in order that
| would not escape and skip over the
New Mexico state line the faithful Ed
escorted me right into the presence OF
Mr.. Dave. Ny. what an interview. II
can smell the sulphur yet, but as Dave
could not get any satisfaction from
me he turned around in his chair and
said II that is the way you feel about
IT / will give you all you want Of 1t,
and said something about Folsom be-
| ing at the bottom Of IT..
have never spoken to Dr. Folsom
but twice in my life and where DR..
| Folsom comes In | am at a loss to
know. Certainly DR.. Folsom is no
friend of mine. But. however, Dave
and | parted, the same good friends
that we were when we met. Only
my parting words in answer to his
threat was, "the sooner the quicker,
and the harder the better"
| Now as to Mr.. Kent's card. He
said took the slurring banner down.
Did he tell why? No! Ed says he
was assured By several that they had
no hand in the work, and nothing
could hurt the cause more than this
attempted brand. did not say any
body else had hand in II, but. how.
ever, let Ed neme the several So
cialists who believe that nothing could
hurt the cause more. Ed says be
knows that ID. f. Day refused TO al
low the telegram to be published,
whereas Ed Kent told me that he him
self suppressed the telegram, and not
Dave Day. He says Dave Day has
beer better friend to the Socialists
than they themselves. Now isn't that
nice to think that Dave Day is such
good friend of the Socialists and to
think that day after day he prints
some little slurring lies about the SO
ciallsts, and last, but not least, Ed
claims to be dyed In the wool Social
ist. Let us see how much OF so
ciaiist Ed is and how much he knows
about Socialism. Ed came to me
about three weeks ago with grea'
scheme. He wanted the Socialists tt
withdraw one of our candidates OIL
the ticket and substitute well know
business man OF Durango. The sais
business man would finance our cam
paign and could not only be elected
but would pull the whole ucke
through, and that this same bushes
man was offered the same nomination
on the Democratic ticket but woul
not take It. Think of this Ed Ken
trying to put Democrat on the *
cialist ticket, which shows what kin
OF a dyed in the wool Socialist he u
and how much he knows about 81
ic cialism. Mr.. Ed was turned down col
n. and told that while we appreciate
to the said business mans cffer we wer
lie able to finance our own campaign.
In also told him to his great surpria
that we could not put Democrat 0
the Socialist ticket and that only due
h paying members Of years standin
MS could be nominated on the sociali
