A Difference
in Policies
RoosEvELrs POLICIES ARE BAD
" WANTEo-eRvAN's ARE
FORGOTTEN.

What are the Roosevelt policies?
In the minds Of most people they
are something which President Roose-
welt has put into practice and in some
instances Mr.. Bryan has put into
words. They are good policies: other
wise there would not be so many
claimants for them.
Now what are the Bryan policies?
This Is different proposition. isn't
II? II makes one want to reach out
for copy OF the political history Of
the United States for the past twelve
years--some great. big, thick book
with lots of room In II. For the Bryan
policies have been many and numer-
ownership and even Mr.. Bryan doesn't
refer to some OF them nowadays
free silver, government ownership OF
railroads. imperialism-oh. where is
that book!
The Roosevelt policies are only an
exempfiication OF the Square Deal.
There Is nothing mysterious about
them. but they are far-reaching and
effective. They have penetrated the
thick legal crust that hedges about
dishonest corporations; they have en-
tered the inner chambers of high H.
nancial sharks: they have brushed
aside the destroyers Of content among
laboring men and given the laboring
man wise legislation and good wages;
they have brought peace to the world
when the grim sword Of war was un-
sheathed: they have drained the
swamps Of Panama and made possible
the Panama canal; they have created
sentiment for proper notifications Of
the tariff; they have restored prosper
ity In the face of Wall Streets manip-
plations: they are bringing about reg
ulation without ruination: they have
brought water to the parched plains
OF the West: they have maintained
equal Justice for the negro; they have
built up . great navy; they have besn
wise and constructive and the people
want more Of such government

A GUINNESS MATER.

When a man engaged In conducting
a great business hires a force of men
to carry ON the work. he asks them
for an accounting at the end of each
year. Tnat is what Republican state
oflcials believe should be done to the
people of Colorado with reference to
past administrations.
During the past six years the people
of Colorado have put Republican OFF,
cials In charge Of state affairs These
officials are now rendering their ac-
count. They found the state deeply in
debt. with anarchy and rebellion run
ming riot on all sides. They took Arm
hold on things and restored peace.
Then they set about developing the re-
sources and revenues Of Colorado and
paid of many OF the debts that had
been handed down by Democratic ad-
ministrations. They now report sur
plus Of $247 900 in the state treasury.
with new laws and new departments
In active. economical operation for the
benefit OF the people.
Democratic candidates for ONCE are
in . less fortunate position When you
go to their meetings. you will note
that they utterly ignore their achieve
ments in Colorado. Their record is a
blank and cannot stand inspection. and
they are ashamed Of It.

Sugar Questions
for .'Honestjohn'

Whoever heard OF the beet sagar in

troduced It into the United States. Mr..
Shafroth?
Was It not a Republican administra-
tion that brought the seed from Eu-
rope and distributed 1t among the
farmers to experiment with?
And after the Republicans intro
duced the sugar beet was It not Re

paying producers OF beet sugar two
cents pound bounty a. an induce
ment to develop the industry?
Was 1t not the same Congress that
admitted beet sugar machinery into
this country free Of tariff. ut time
when there was no such macAinery in
this country?
Was 1t not the same CongSess that
kept the tariff on foreign sugar to as
sist In developing the beet sugar indus
try in the United Statesf
Was It not the Democrats Wilson

duced the tariff on foreign suEu thus

Moreover. "Honesjohn." your law
makers and state oniclaIs did not mo-
tice these biunders and actually un-
dertook to put this imaginary law into
effect: but M usual the Supreme Court

ferred with the Democratic party7

Governor Orman then called . spe-

the legislature with a copy OF the Con-
stitution. and asked them to make the

form TO IT.
Again you Democrats took advan-
tage OF an extra session To pass some
ringing resolutions regarding the Ad-
mirai schley controversy. philippine
war. foreign labor. irrigation. the
Congo Free State. etc. etc.

TO be unconstitutional and \ Republi-

In the excitement had not forgotten to
authorize In his proclamation the spe-
cial session TO pass an appropriation
providing for its own expenses.
He appointed himself a committee
of the whole and deliberately misap-
propriated the funds provided by the
session TO get Governor Thomas ont Of
the hole by paying the debt Of honor"
for the money he had borrowed from
his friends to run the state. This didn't
disturb Governor orman; but Cover
nor Thomas grew tart. testy and caus-
tic. In his comments upon this matter.
as did also your journalistic sup
porters. the Denver News, Times and
Post.
Constitution slips orman's Memory.
The Constitution also undertook to
interfere when the governor unlaw-
fully authorized the payment for the
Worlds Fair Exhibit out Of the gen
eral fund: but ''Honestjim" won.
Democratic governors have some
rights that even the Constitution has
got to respect!

Republicans
for Congress
THEY ARE NEEDED TO HELp
TAFT AND HELP COLORADO.

D08Y AH8 W8B00O ~
TAFT AND HELP COLORADO.
The election Of Republican SEN
ator and three Republican representa-
lives in Congress IL almost - import
ant a. the election Of TAFT and sher'
man
Friday night Mr.. Bryan urged the
people to vote for Democratic con
xressmen. for he said be would feel
lonesome In the White House after
March 18th, unless he had Democratic
House to help him.
He need not worry-he will not oa
In the White House.
Mr.. Taft will be In the White House; I;
and while he might rot feel altogether
lonesome without Republican House
his administration would be badly
crippled and he could not accomplish
nearly a. much for the good OF the
people.
Colorado should send men to Con-
gress-tO the House and to the Senate
aiso-who win help President Taft to
carry out the Roosevelt policies, not
men who viii do their utmost to
harass and annoy him.
There is very little danger that there
will be a Democratic House. The
chances are perhaps ten to one that
the majority of the House will be Re-
publican.
L.. vah
RADIO should send Republicans to Con-
gress. Members OF the dominant party
can do more for their constituents than
is possible for members Of the minor
ity party The record Of our own Re-
publican representatives In the last
three Congresses Is q good illustration
Of this fact Look at what they have
been able to do for this state. Com
pare 1t. II you like. with what John
Shafroth was able to do when he was
there
II stands to reason that member
Of the majority party who has the
good will OF his colleagues can do more
can get what he wants better
than member Of the minority. He
can do better in committee. and he
can get recognition on the floor. which
the Democrats claim the minority can
not get.
We vote directly for Representatives
in Congress: but indirectly for senator.
For that once we have to vote through
the legislature.
A Republican legislature will mean
q Republican United States senator.
The Democrats are straining every
point to send Mr. Hughes TO the SEN
ate.
Let Republican voters see to it that
Republicans are sent to the Legisla-
ture this fall.
