Governor sh.froth's Message.

In a message to the Legislature OF
Colorado Governor Shafroth urges the
democratic members either to redeem
their pledges to the people contaiheo
in the platform on which they were
elected or else to resign their seats
The message follows:
March %, 1908.
"To 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 III
all of the branches of the state gov
ernment. We as its representatives
have been placed there under certain
pledges contained in our platform. Ine
PRINCIPLES contained in these pledges
in the party's judgment. as ratified 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 and should
be faithfully performed. Seventy-six
days of this session have been con-
sumed by those who are evadfng 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. have tried by arguing, coax
ing and begging to induce most of
these recalcitra2t 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, ne
should resign his seat now. If he will
not resign, then the party in each
county having such 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
stantially complied with, expect to
call an extra session of the General
Assembly and 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"
