this lone paramount is worth all

good thing, Honest John. Push II
along. 1t will be worth four times
what the extra session cost to the

one newspaper. however. known to
fame as the great family Journal, that

such a governmental innovation would
result in endless confusion and be OF
no permanent benefit TO the state OF
Colorado. This initiative and referen.
dun is fad just now. and some
people think II Is = pAnacea for all
Of the governmental ills that afflict
us. They once thought the same
thing Of free silver. but this proved
fallacious in the end, and that will
be the fate OF the initiative and refer.
endum on the final show down.
What We need In governmental
affairs in this great country OF
ours is fewer laws and more
honest and decent men. But
really Honest John. II you had lived
up to your political patronymic. you
would not have claimed all the cred.

one lone paramount, as you know, as
well as most everybody else knows
that reads the daily papers. that the
initiative and referendum could not

every republican member of the sen.
ate. You did not mention this fact,
and for that reason we do not be-
heve you are as honest AZ you are
cracked up to be. You know that
the democratic caucus put the pure
Oregon form Of the initiative and ref.

bers OF the senate as bluff, not
having the remotest idea that they
would vote for II. They did vote for
IL. however. and thereby not only
fooled you. but all OF the rest Of
the democratic bunch. And now you
commit petty larceny by claiming
credit for II all. He that seeks equity
should come with clean hands.
Now you know. Honest John. that
a direct primary. with a convention

hol cudiiO'u
C= ado. some fuss and consider
able feathers in attempting to show
that his administration had been a
particularly economical one-especial-
ly as regards the incidental funds OF
himself and some Of his official fam.
ily. With great Righteousness he al
luded to the fact that his predeces-
sors had been In the habit OF using
embossed stationery. costing $50 per
thousand, envelopes OF the same high
grade, costing similar amount while
he had been content with a s. per
ing to Justify the enormous expense
OF the extra session by citing economy
In comparative trifles.
In response to letter of inquiry
we have received from the capital
city a statement OF the real facts.
written by a gentleman who had ac-
cess to authoritative sources of in.
formation. The statements made and
the figures given are from official
sources and cannot be successfully
controyerted. The present state dem.
ocratlc administration has been the
ly incompetent, SO far as accomplish.
ing anything OF real value and bene.
fit TO the people is concerned. that
Colorado has ever known. This has
been the history OF every democratic
administration OF which We have had
personal cognizance. The real facts
are as follows;
Governor Shafroth In campaigning
the state is calling attention TO the
fact that out of the incidental fund
allowed him he will return $500 to
the General revenue fund. unGsct.- He
is also claiming that two or three OF
the other departments OF the state
will do likewise with their incidental
fund and by reason Of this saving OF
approximately 5000 In incidcntals.
he is maintaining that his has been
an economical administrator.
The facts are that Just the reverse
Is true. II Is true that he has saved
In postage stamps. blotters and sta
tionery but II is also true tina, the
departments under him have cSpend.
ed more money by over million and
II half dollars than was ever expend.
ment officials In the history OF the
state. When Governor Shafroth as.
sumed the duties OF office there was
$4,000 In the states treasury. Ac.
cording To statements made by his
auditing committee three months ago
this administration has collected hall
million dollars more than any pre-.
ceding administration. According Ia
a statement made by Stat. Auditor
kenehan less than six weeks ago, the
administration viii go out OF office
owing half million dollars In un
paid bills OF It's own creation. Thus
while Governor Shafroib was saving
$4,000 In stamps and stationery In his
own office his departments expended
the $4,000 l.f, him by Governor
Buchtcl. expended the increased one
half million dollar collections OF his
own administration. aud will turn
