LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
AT C0L0RADO'S CAPITAL
Governor shafroth's Message.

In message to the Legislature OF
Colorado Governor Shafroth urges the
Democratic members either to redeem
their pledges to the people contained
in the platform on which they were
elected or else to resign their seats.
The message follows:
March %. 1909.
ITO the Members of the Seventeenth
General Assembly:
'Gentlemen-The Democratic party
for the first time in the history of
Colorado has been placed in power in
all of the branches of the state gov
ernment. We as its representatives
have been placed there under certain
pledges contained in our platform. The
in the party's judgment, as raSfied by
the people, are essential to good gov
ernment. If we fail to perform the du-
ties intrusted to us by the people in
an honest direct, inevasive manner,
our party may never again attain
such an advantageous position. Today
is truly the day of opportunity.
II stated in my inaugural message
to you, that the pledges constituted a
contract with the people ana should
be faithfully performed. Seyenty-siX
days of this session have been con-
sumed by those who are evading or
trying to defeat the bills containing
these platform pledges. The conflict
is whether party pledges are to be re-
garded as sacred or deceptive devices
to gain power To concede that pub
lie official may wilfully evade. or open-
ly violate pledge upon which he Sc
cured an election, is to surrender the
vital principle of representative gov
ernment I have tried by arguing, coax
ing and begging to induce most of
these recalcitrant members to pass
| these measures. For the passage and
presentation for my signature of even
one of them l have waited day after
day, until patience has ceased to be a
virtue.
'If any member. since the election.
has changed his mind as to these
| measures and has conscientious scru-
pies against voting for the same, he
should resign his seat now. If he will
| not resign then the party in eaC&
county having such a member should
| meet in mass assembly and demand
that he vote for these party measures
or resign.
"In the full two weeks remaining of
this session. you still have time to en-
act into law these reforms. l wish to
| warn you that if these party pledges,
these contracts of honor, are not sub
In
| call an extra session of the General
Assembly and l shall expect the peo-
pie of this state to hold these oppos-
| ing and evading members responsible
therefor. Respectfully submitted,
John F. SHAFROTH.
Governor of Colorado"

wounded since the trouble began

and 1t is generally believed that many
more of the negroes and Indians were
killed.
Darkness closed day of unrest. un-
easiness and desultory skirmishing

Creek nation, and with Indians and
negroes of the outlaw band hidden in
the Businesses of the hills, 100 state

Reaching Hickory ground at &
o'clock this evening, the militia in
command of Colonel Roy Hoffman
pitched their tents and will await Or
ders for action tomorrow. Before
leaving Henryetta this afternoon Col
onel Hoffman made request of Adju-
tant General Frank Canton that 500
more members Of the state troops be
held in readiness for call.
Colonel Hoffman's orders are that
every armed Indian is to be arrested.
