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 flour
ished in Denver few years ago, and
which was permanently retired from
business by the State Supreme Court.
It 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 Mr.. 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 Mr..
Shafroth's title as congressman was
based on fraud. When it became clear
that the committee intended to oust
him and seat Mr. Bonynge. Mr.. Shat
roth made a virtue of necessity and
in a dramatic speech in the House de
clared that he could not and would
not profit by fraud-then he made
quick getaway. Hence, the title,
Honest John" title which would be
more appropriate IL its wearer had not
hung on to his seat as long as he
could.
Mr.. Shafroth 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 to
discharge the exacting duties Of the
governorship, a fact which is SO well
known to the people that his election
by big majority is hardly a matter
Of doubt.-Colorado Springs Gazette

MepoNALD's SEAT STOLEN.
The "Bia Mitt' Stole Jesse r. MeOon-
AIDS Seat in the Legislature
1, 1ono

It will be well for every Republican
bogus votes that sent John Shafroth
to Congress sent fifteen fraudulently
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 un-
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 same
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.
Inc democrats udu ContIoi Vi thc
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 unseated in
the house, two Republican senators
would be unseated by the senate.
They carried out their threat and
threw out Senator Jesse F. Mcdonald
OF Leadville and Senator Dick of Huer
fano with absolutely no excuse except
political expediency." They even had
the nerve to advise Senator Mcdonald
not to spend any money in contestins
because he would get thrown out any
way. John Shafroth stood for this
theft of Senator McDonald's seat; he
stood for all the crooked work of the
big Mitt" and we have the right te
think that he would do so again If he
could again gain anything politica
thereby.

Grated, II the Republicans win in the
coming election solely in the Interest
of the policyholders and without doing
wrong or injustice to the insurance
companies.
A vote for Mcdonald and the Repub-
lican ticket is vote to continue this
kind of administration in all state af-
fairs.
Every voter who has an insurance
policy owes it to himself and his ben
eficiaries to vote the Republican tick

STATE INSURANCE DEPARTMENT
Splendid Record Under Republican
AdmInistration.


The State Insurance Department is
one OF the mos important at the state
capitol II represents the first attempt
of the people to regulate corporations.
1t has been in existence for twenty
five years. but il has only been for the
past two or three years that any at
tempt has been made to strictly ana
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 OF
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 beneficiaries in
this state number easily 500 900 people.
The insurance department under
takes the gigantic task of seeing that
the legacies which the insurance com
panies promise these people shall be
paid. 1t also undertakes to prevent
panies and schemes. and to eliminate
dishonest agents as fast as they can
be discovered by reyoking their H.
censes.
partment under the present RepubIi-
can administration in driving out ire
sponsible and fraudulent insurance
companies and schemes is not only
has attracted attention throughout the
United States.
Colorado insurance laws passed at
the last session by the Republican
legislature were drawn up by Commis-
sioner E. E Rittenhouse 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
rado Model Code But these splendid
laws would be OF no value If they were
not enforced To enforce rigid super
visory laws over great corporations Is
not always an easy thing to do because
such violators of the state laws or reg
ulations have immense sums of mon
ey available to fight the commissioner
who undertakes such enforcement in
the courts and even in politics.
The State Insurance Department has
not only protected policyholders and
the honest agents from irresponsible
concerns, but it has compelled the re-
sponsible and solvent companies to
practice proper methods in Colorado.
Furthermore. the Colorado Insurance
Department has invited every citizen
Of the state who has grievance, or
thinks he has, against an insurance
company, or an insurance agent, in the
settlement or adjustment of claim to
bring his grievance to the department
to have it investigated. This has en-
tailed an enormous amount Of work.
but it has proven a great boon and SER
vice to poor people who have not been
able to employ lawyers to tell them
what their rights were under their con-
tracts, which as a rule are very compli-
Gated.
There is not another insurance de-
partment in the country that has the
courage to advertise for trouble and
extra work OF this kind.
The insurance department has been
| operated. and will continue to be op.

For instance there are quite a few politicians, yes and whole lot of would-be politicians, who are con- pelled to take Heap" out of sort of trance. In other words they were dead sure of securing certain jobs, positions on public boards, etc, but there were not enough places, so the ones who were surest must take the leap" Of course the head boss don't tell them where to Heap" to simply because he doesn tell his mind to anybody. But as far as get ting anything out of the premises k concerned they might as well Heap" to Union City and sell matches because they're done up for two years and when election day comes again, fhey'll get the same toboggan slide or else take another ''leap' Be that as it may, let us hope that people who have never purchased any tea or cof- fee from us will take advantage this year and take a leap" out of that nnconscionable idea that they can get just as good tea or coffee in any store as they can buy at our store No sir-ree, your mistaken, we sell the best quality in the city for the price you pay and all We ask is one trial This week we give large, handsome cracker jar with each pound of our warranted good baking powder, 45 cents per pound at
