would naturally be the weakest sec

throwing out those I'VE votes, un-
mistakably expressing preference

Unfair as that would be, the
courts would likely not consider the
question from the candidate point OF
view. They would be more apt to
look to the protection OF the voter.
IN All such cases the intent o.

There Is no intent here OF attack

ciple. Every voter should be given
the privilege of indicating a second
choice after he has expressed his pref

should not be compelled to vote for
second choice, and II he shall fail

Statesman.
The law contains form OF ballot
bearing instructions to the voter
which say in part: vote for both
iiFst and second choice II there are
more than twice as many candidates

words. II there are more than two
candidates for any ONCE. then the
voter Is instructed to vote for first
and second choice"
Tho question arises: II q voter
should vote only for his first choice
would his ballot Be reiectedY
The instruction to vote for both
ilrst and second choice was appar-
entity Incorporated in order to har-
monize with another section Of the
law. which reads;
Section S4.--The person receiving
a majority Of the first choice votes
at a primary as the candidate OF a
party for an once shall ts the can
dIdate Of that party for such ONCE.
and his name as such candidate
shall be placed on the ofIicial ballot
at the following election; provided.
that II no candidate shall receive
q majority OF the first choice votes,
then In that event a canvass shall
be made OF the second choice votes
received by the candidates for said
ONCE. and said second choice votes
shall be added TO the first choice
votes received by each candidate for
such once. and tho candidate receiy-
ing tho highest number on Hrst and
second choice votes shall be tho
nominee for such once Of the party
nominating him.

Reports from all over the state are
to the effect that the voters are
rallying to the support of the Initia-
tive and Referendum, and even the
enemy is forced to admit that it will
be adopted by the largest majority
ever accorded to constitutional
amendment in Colorado. The business
man Is for it because it means that
hereafter he can have something to
say as to how the affairs of state
shall be run and put into effect his
own ideas of economical management.
The laboring people are unit in its
support, for it means to them that po-
litical freedom from machine domina-
tion they have SO long desired. The
women are for 1t because 1t means
that the many economic reforms they
have been laboring to bring about can
be initiated and passed. 1t means
improved conditions all along the line
save and except that the corporate
interests will have to stand on the
same footing as the other business
interests and the political machine
boss will find his occupation gone.

Although having filled the office for

been to place the schools of Gilpin

has taken an exceptional pride in
every branch OF the school work that
has come under her directions or
supervision and in her devotion to
to the scholars, an encouraging spirit
to the parents, but constant friend
to the teachers. In the selection Of
teachers she has always given the
home girl the preference, with the
happy result that today there are
more girls who were raised in Gilpin
county filling positions as instructoxsj
than ever known before. These are
most proficient in their work, the ma

tleman Of the old school who does
not believe in anything in the nature
of reform. are hard put for arguments
in support of their position. The one
strong(?) card that they are playing
IL the so-called newspaper graft in
the publication Of the measures to
be submitted to the people.
In this they are not truthful. For
instance: The Denver Times in a
recent editorial says:
Under the provisions Of the Ini-
tiative and Referendum the cost of
advertising four bills like the bank
guarantee, direct primary, registra-
ton and public utilities measures
would be $2s1.475."
Why doesn't the Times confine it.
self to the issue in the present cam
paign, instead Of drawing on the fu-
ture for its thunder? The Initiative
and Referendum amendment now be-
| ing published in the papers through
out Colorado as required by law, is
costing the state a total CT just
s5,512:O0. The extra session of the
legislature has cost 100000. With
the Initiative and Referendum in the
constitution there would have been
| no need of an extra session. When
! the legislators had failed to carry
out their pledges the people. could
have had an extra session of their
own and there would have been no
corporation hirelings to boss the job.
Isn't it good investment to spend
S5.512.00 to effect a saving of $780,
900 in one item alone. to say nothing
of the gratis continually put through
by the interests under the present
system Of so-called representative
government?
Then as to the publicatiort expenset
The Times editor and the other cor
poration agents who are opposing
direct legislation, know full we'll that
under the Initiative and Referendum,
any constitutional provision can be
amended or any law repealed that the
people do not approve, and il the
publication expense is too heavy the
| law can be amended so as to give
the measures the desired publicity
at less expense. Under the Oregon
law the publicity is given through
pamphlets sent to each voter.
Wrongs can be righted under the
Initiative and Referendum that can
be reached in no other way and every
man and woman who believes in self
government will vote for the amend
ment.
Gilpin observer., 1910-10-27

The Denver Republican would show
that it is not disinterested political
ly. True to its name it is doing all
in its power to behttle the opposi-
tion; but net word for other than
the head Of the Republican ticket
One would be compelled to go over
its files to learn that it ever won
popular victory; but that is a small
matter compared with the present
methods of trying to belittle the
head of the Democratic ticket. If the
Republican is again on the losing
side it should apologize for its as
sault on the Democratic party.
Gilpin observer., 1910-10-27
THE VOTERS HAVE THE SAY.

The Colorado Democrats cannot ex.
pect aid or encouragement from the
valley papers. They are all tainted
Their policies are as stable as water
and nc reliance can be placed on what
they say during this campaign. 1t
would look like free-for-all race and
the matter of choice left pretty much
where it should, in the hands of the
people. The voter may size up both
tickets and make up his mind. To
aid in this it would be we'll to con-
slider the past record of both parties
In this state. One need not go far
back, into the past. The near-present
is quite sufficient. The record of the
party in the state under the Demo
Gratis is free from scandal. There has
been greater vigilance in affairs and
altogether the administration has
been one that must appeal to the
common sense of all.
1t is wise to make a good show
ing from Gilpin. The signs point to
Democratic supremacy. Would the
voter care to be on the winning side
his ballot will aid in that very thing.
One is not asked to vote for the
Democrats in the hope of winning.
That is not sound argument. The
men on the ticket are such as to be
able to give repetition of affairs,
of the kind the people have enjoyed
In this state since the present gov
ernor took office.
The executive has been much har-
rassed and advised to do this and
the other. If left to his own devises
there is no doubt far better results
would have been the outcome. But
he has been satisfying. This is real
lied. Were 1t not, he would hardly
have received denomination. With
this strong argument in his favor the
voter will come to the conclusion that
such man at the head Of the ticket
the strongest that
could have been nominated-the ap-
peal to the voter should be OF the
lmpelling kind, realizing that II a
safe and rational administration Is
desired the Democratic party can full.
y satisfy all expectations.

When a man asks another to de-
bate, the challenger invariably has a
cause which will stand a cold CLEAN

Gilpin observer., 1910-10-27

The Democrats of Iowa have pro-
posed to the Republicans that extra
ballot boxes be placed in the polling
place on election day and that every
voter cast his ballot for his choice
for senator to succeed Senator J. p.
Dolliver. The Democrats believe that
the legislature will be bound by this
action. 1t is thought the Republi-
cans will be forced to accept this
proposition.
Gilpin observer., 1910-10-27

The reiteration of the Denver Re-
publican that there is danger to wo-
mems suffrage in the adoption of
the Initiative and Referendum is to
put scare into the women folks that
they may express themselves as
against the innovation. Possibly a
majority of the women do not care,
one way or the other.
