The plan is simple when understood
The anti-Guggenheim ticket. whici
such vigorous efforts are being made
TO have placed on the official ballot
contains exactly the same state ant
national candidates as the straight Re
publican ticket. But In the city ant
county OF Denver the ticket contains O
different list of candidates for the
county Offices and the state legisla
ture. This is where the cunning
scheme comes into play.
1t is figured that by taking away
certain amount Of strength from the
straight Republican ticket in favor OF
the anti-Guggenheim ticker, the nine.
teen state senators and representa-
uves on the Democratic ticket will
be elected. This will give Hughes a
solid footing in the next legislature
and go far to insure his ul,It'-,1 to
the United States senate.
To carry out this scheme systemat-
ic debauchery of certain elements in
both the Republican and Democratic
parties is being attempted. To fur
ther the unclean purpose the hue and
cry has been raised against Senator
Simon Guggenheim, In an effort TO
create sentiment against him. when he
Ia not an issue in the campaign at all
Yet by heading the ticket ''anti-Gug
genheim" and building Up false is
sue of this kind 1t is hoped to splir
away enough votes from the straight
Republican ticket to elect Demo
cratic legislature. Republicans every
where should study this situation
closely and see that It is thoroughly
understood. The corporations OF DEN
yer. led by the Denver Union Water
company. want Hughes In the United
States senate and they also want to
| see John +. Shafroth in the governors
chair.
Both these candidates have been
good servants of the corporations. The
Denver Union Water company has
the most important issue in its exist
ence coming up some time soon-the
question as to whether or not 1t will
be purchased by the city and county
Of Denver or continue to be operated
under It's present management with
new franchise. Millions OF dollars will
be involved In these questions. With
plenty of Its attorneys In office
there are sixteen attorneys on tlie
Democratic state tickel--the water
company would not have 30 much fear
of the future.
II remains to be seen whether the
Republican voters OF Denver will be
swept off their feet by this false anti
Guggenheim movement IN order 10
elect Democratic candidates to office
or whether they will sit tight and
vote the straight Republican ticket. II
is believed that they will do this and
| will also have the support and assist
ance Of Democratic voters who are
opposed to corporation dictation In
the city and county of Denver.

said the honest Democrats desiring
to see q continuance OF corporate reg
ulation In Denver have only one way
to aid In accomplishing this result.
That is by voting the straight Repub-
lican ticket for all city and county
Offices. The Republican candidates
are all clean, strong men. with high
political ideals and stand in marked
contrast with the nominees on the
Democratic city and county ticket who
are corporation men from start to
finish,
BOSTON, Oct. 26.-Thomas Nixon

ward university, an able writer on
economic subjects of the day, In
1t Is not In the interest OF society or
the laboring classes that men who
cannot earn SIG week should try to
marry and bring up q family in a
place like Boston. When persons who
cannot earn SIS week bring children
| into the world. the chances are that
the children will be like them. There
Will thus be largely supply of un-
skilled laborers to crowd the market
and make conditions worse for su-
perior laborers. He advocates the
adjustment OF the labor question and
the exclusion of the ever increasing
stream OF unskilled foreign laborers.
As long as we allow an unrestricted
immigration to overcrowd the labor
market, says Professor Carver. 1t is
futile to try TO alleviate poverty or
to Improve conditions.
