PAYING DEMOCRATIC DEBTS.

The people of Colorado are quite ia.
miliar with the utter confusion and dis,
cord which prevailed in the councils of
Of the Democratic party and which pr
vented that party from carrying out
some Of the most important parts of its
national program when it was in con-
troll OF the presidency and the national
Congress.
The elements which are now gath
cred under the Democratic banner are
so antagonist and lack cohesion to such
an extent as to render the party utterly
unfit to assume the tremendous respon.
sibilities Of guiding the destinies OF
the American nation. The same lack
Of capacity to govern characterizes the
administration Of the affairs of Colo
RADIO by the Democrats. Grover Cleve
land was forced to borrow money tc
run the national government Charles
s. Thomas, while governor of Colorado
was forced to borrow money to run the
state government. Thomas borrowed
money from his friends, the bankers
and others to keep the state institu
lions open because his party had failed
in the legislature to provide for them
and with all his influence he was una
BILE to- induce his party to return this
borrowed money, and it never was re-
turned until Republican administra
ton came in and saved enough money
by practicing economy to pay 1t.

BUCHTEL ON TAFT'S
FAMOUS OPINION.
Making the sherman Antitrust Law
Effective.

Making the sherman Antitrust Law
Effective.
By Gov. Henry A. Buchtel in Clay's
Review.
It is sometimes said by our Demo
cratic friends that Judge Taft has not
in him the elements of a reformer. The
fact is that he has never been anything
else but reformer, that Is, man
working on progressive lines for the
betterment Of social and political
conditions in our country. An illustra-
ton Of 1t is seen in a notable decision
which he handed down while presiding
over the Sixth Judicial Circuit, which
court was recognized as the most dis
tinguished subordinate court In the
United States during his incumbency.
For eight years after its passage. the
Sherman antitrust law was dead let
ter. The Attorney General Of the
United States had announced that the
law was inadequate and he had given
up all effort to enforce 1t. After eight
years a certain powerful combination
was arraigned before Judge Taft The
case was that of the United States
against the Addyston Pipe & Steel
Company. This company collected
tax from every city in the nation that
needed to lay foot OF cast iron pipe.
After the hearing, Judge Taft gave oLa
month to the writing OF his decision.
1t was really a treatise on that entire
branch Of the law in all its phases and
is the ablest work extant on that SUBJ
ject today. He began with the old COM
mon law on contracts and followed It
through each stage OF growth and de-
velopment to the last law regarding
contracts in restraint of trade. He re-
wrote his opinion ten times. The de-
PENDANTS were found guilty and fined.
OF course the defendants appealed, but
the Supreme Court copied Judge Taft's
decision in full and handed that decis-
ion down as the decision of the Su-
preme Court That decision is now the
precedent in all the courts of the land.
1t was Judge Taft, therefore, who made
law out of the Sherman antitrust act,
which was counted dead letter dur
ing eight years of Democratic rule.

AN OPEN LETTER WHICH "HoN.
Ee1JohN" sHAFRoTH FAILED
TO ANSWER.

During the campaign Of 1904, when
sHonestjohn" Shafroth was running
for Congress against Franklin E..
Brooks, an open letter was addressed
to him by Mr.. e E. Rittenhouse, in
which certain important questions
were asked. Up to the present time
Mr.. shafroth has failed to publicly an
swer these enquiries. 1t will lie noted
that the writer anticipated the frauds
which actually occurred and by which
It was attempted to seat Alva Adams
- governor.
The following extracts from the
open letter Of Mr.. Rittenhouse to Mr..
shafroth are of especial interest at
this time:
Dear John: Pardon the apparent
familiarity, but really we have got SO
used to calling you "Honestjohn" that
We do It without the slightest inten-
ton of violating the proprieties. :.
Do you remember that the investiga-
ton into your election contest case
lasted from February until May last
year (1s03) and that both you and
Mr.. Bonynge were present and exam
lined many witnesses. who numbered
nearly $50?
How do you account for your delay
In getting up In Congress and telling
the country that you were fraduulently
elected?
You knew even before the close of
the Investigation in May, 1903. that
you were fraudulently elected, because
you then saw and heard the same evil
dence that was presented to Congress
nearly q year later, and yet, you for
got to mention 1t to Congress and the
country until February. 1904. when you
knew that you were to be unseated
within . very few days by the ma
tional House.
This was a remarkable oversight on
-FOUR part, "Honestjohn." especially
when We consider the mass Of conclu-
sive evidence Of the Denver election
outrages which you listened to from
February to May, 1908. The evidence
Of fraud brought out in that investiga-
ton was sufficiently startling to have

Mcdonald as
Governor
SOME UNWRiTTEN HISTORY OF
THE MCDONALD ADMINS
TRATiON.
Written for the Pueblo Chieftain by
Alva A. Swain.

Written for the Pueblo Chieftain by
Alva A. Swain.
The following article was published
in the Pueblo Chieftain's Sunday mag
azine of January 20, 1907, and at this
time 1t was not known that the Hon
Jesse F. Mcdonald would ever be a
candidate for governor again. and
therefore was not published for politi-
cal effect 1t gives an insight into the
sterling character Of this man which
every voter should know.
A few days ago Colorado changed
her officials at the state house. The
most important of these changes is in
the position Of governor and in that
change man was retired to private
life who has, within the past two
years, erected for himself monument
i of personal esteem and confidence
from one end Of the state to the other.
No man ever accepted a public trust
under greater disadvantages than did
Governor Mcdonald two years ago At
that time the capital and labor classes
of the state were rent in twain as a
result of the two years conflict. and
so terrible had this conflict been that
people outside OF Colorado character
lied the representatives of both labor
and capital and the state officials as
well, as being anarchists, law-broakers
and un-American citizens.
Out Of this turmoil, Lieutenant Gov
ernor Mcdonald became governor.
When he accepted the position state
ments were freely made that accept
ing the position, as he did his admin
istration would be failure. but how
different has been the result.
The phenomenal change OF public
sentiment can best be told in the &C
lions of the daily press. Two days af-
ter he was inaugurated a Denver pa
per cartooned him as a worm squirm-
ing about on an empty seat. Two days
before he retired from office the same
paper cartooned him as Colorado's
greatest executive.
And why this change Of sentiment?
Why was 1t that man could in a few
short months bring the people Of the
entire state from a condition of opposi-
ton to him to worship at his feet?
1t was because he was governor and
was honest and did his duty quietly
and without any blare Of trumpets
Those who knew him best as chief ex-
ecutive loved him most.
There was one thing Governor Nc
Donald despised and that was public
ity to his official acts. Many an Incl
dent occurred. which, had 1t been
known at the time, would have made
him great, but he did not tell it and if
It became known would not let the
press boys publish 1t. The following
are a few of the incidents that &C.
CURED during his administration
which show the metal Of the man,
but which as yet have never been
made public:

Donald was inaugurated a strike was
