VINCENT TALKS
Of POLITICAL
REFORM

Hon. Merle ID. Vincent of Paonia.
candidate for the republican nomina-
ton for governor and leading insur-
gent of the state, addressed "A meet
ing OF something more than hun
dred people at the Auditorium last
evening, Several local causes con-
spired to reduce the number of those
who would have liked to hear him:
but his audience listened for nearly
two hours most attentively.
Just what some of the old guard
OF the republican party in this city
thought of the speech is not positive
ly known. but may be conjectured by
those who are familiar with local
conditions and the handspring of
much of the machine interest in this
part of the slope.
Among many other things, Mr..
Vincent said:
In the recent election in Denver
there were several issues of great i'm
portance to the public. The people
of Denver were opposed to giving a
franchise worth millions to the wat
er company without receiving any
consideration for it. They wanted
amendments to the city charter pro-
Viding for the initiative, the referen-
dun and the recall. These, in fact.
constituted the only real issues in
volved in that election. The man
agement of the republican party in
Denver. however. side-stepped every
one OF those issues; our party was
made to remain silent so far as it's
platform declarations We're con-
cerned. Not only this, but it dragged
the judiciary into the contest: and,

honest stand on these issues, il pri-
Vately lined up with and instructed
its paid workers to support the utili-
ty corporations of Denver
when a noted republican of Den
yer was asked to make an address in
behalf of the republican ticket, he
was also requested to say nothing
about the franchise, the initiative,
the referendum or the recall. Under
cover OF this noncommittal and evas-
I've policy, aid and comfort We're rem
dered to private business interests.
The interests of the members of the
party to whom ii must necessarily
LOOK Tor support were betrayed. This
is merely a side-light on the great
struggle now taking place between
commercial and moral leadership.
When, however, republican crit
icises these things, he is assailed as
an agitator, and a prayer for har-
mony is raised on the plea that party
success is jeopardized
Party success means nothing un-
less it is an honest success. Har-

tend to put a damper on the festivi-

the sunshine and while he failed to
have J. Pluvius sprinkle the streets

not nearly as much dust as usual dur

INCEPTION OF
THE

That Grand Junction should pos
sess a street railway system was a
dream that took possession of its pro-
gressive citizens as long ago as TWEEN
ty years.
In 1890 there was incorporated in
Grand Junction a system known as
the Grand Junction Street Railway.
1t was a privately owned enterprise
and came into the possession of the
city itself after defaulting in the
payment of taxes. For a short period
II enjoyed the distinction of being the
only municipality owned street rail
way in the United States. 1t was
operated with horse power, two cars
being used for three or four years,
after which the road was abandoned.
Prominent among the original movers
who planned to provide Grand juno
tion with Its horse car line We're Hon.
Benton Canon, the late Barney Ken
nedy and other public-spirited cit
izens. With the abandonment of the
old horse car line numerous projected
street railways followed, there hav-
ing been not less than four electric
railway companies formed within the
past ten years, and IL was not until
the summer of the year 1908 that
Mr.. Orson Adams succeeded in inter
esting Messrs. Thomas Il. Curtin, Il.
A, Sunderlin and Horace X. DeXereuX
of Colorado Springs, who in turn in
terested with them Mr. Charles NJ.
MacNeill of Colorado Springs, who,
at the invitation of these gentlemen,
visited Grand Junction in July. 1908.
After this investigation II was de-
cided by Mr. MacNeill to build the
City railway, which was completed
and started operations May %, 1909.
the City line securing its power from
the Grand Junction Electric, Gas and
Manufacturing company.
About this time the advisability of
connecting the towns of Mesa county
by electric railways was seriously con
sidered, and preliminary surveys We're
run to Clifton. Palisade and Fruita.
The necessity of a private right of
way led the company to accept the
offer of the citizens of Fruita. and
those of the intervening territory be-
tween that point and Grand Junction,
with the result that on this day, July
l4th, 1910. is opened for operation
one of the most modern and fully
equipped interurban electric railways
in the West, and the first electric
railway in western Colorado to handle
passenger, freight and express bust
ness.
The building of additional railway
required additional power facilities,
which the rapid growth of the city of
Grand Junction also demanded, and
large expenditures have been made to
give TO this community modern
power plant of large capacity. Out
of these necessities and demands
there has been created the Grand
Junction and Grand River Valley
