The republican state convention held
at Colorado Springs this week was one
of the most interesting. and in many
respects, the most unique which has
been held in Colorado for many years
Ask almost any politician who was
present and he will tell you that the
convention of last Tuesday and We'd
nesday was the most free from the die
tation of the bosses and that there was
the most noticeable absence of any sort
of slate or prearranged plan or job
than in any convention he has ever at
tended.
In the first place the meeting was
called to order by. one of the straight
est, cleanest and most honorable men
who ever graced the position of chair
man of the state central committee, DIR
Hubert Work of Pueblo. DIR. Work be
lieves in putting the various political
questions upon which there might be
some disagreement, squarely up to the
people-the rank and file of the party
for their decision. He believes in get
ting close to the people and his insis-
tence upon carrying out this belief has
been one of the strong points which
has endeared him to the party during
the administration of his position.
1t was plain from the beginning that
the convention had caught the spirit of
fairness exemplifed by Chairman Work
and from that time forward there was
an absence of bossism and the effects
of bossism that was truly refreshing.
1t was anybody race all through the
game and a freedom of debate was al
lowed which gave everyone far
chance. There was considerable pleas
ant comment upon the absolute fair
ness of Mr.. Ballerich of Pueblo who
served as chairman of the convention
ii the place of R. G. Breckenridge who
was prevented by illness from filing
the position to which he had been
elected.
There was but little difference in the
convention except as to the platform
and this brought out various theories.
The majority of the resolutions COM
mittee took firm stand against the
initiative and recommended con-
demnatory resolution. The radicals on
the other side, led by Merle D. Vim
cent. offered a resolution endorsing the
principle of the initiative and refer
endum. Thomas H. Devine offered an
other minority report, taking the
ground that the new proposed constitu
tional amendment was not partisan
measure, that it had already been pass
ed up to the people and that the people
should be allowed to accept or reject
the measure without Interference or ad-
vice on the part of the convention.
The difference of opinion upon this
question brought out nearly all the dis
cussion that was indulged in through
out the entire convention. Clarence c.

The republicans of Garfield county
in county convention and nominated
what is generally conceded to be one IF
the strongest tickets ever placed before
the voters of the county.
On account of the lateness of the
trains from the west no forenoon ses-
sion was held, but soon after one
o'clock County Chairman F. w. Adams
called the convention to order, and
Horace Mann of Rifle was elected TEN
porary chairman in accordance with 4
recent request of the county central
committee. A. l.. Beardsley and Mrs.
Ella Ozburn were elected secretaries.
Mr.. Mann addressed the convention
briefly and then called on Mr.. Gard of
Rifle who favored the audience with
campaign solo which received much ap-
plause.
After this the chair introduced Fred
G. Shaffer of Rifle who addressed the
convention for few minutes. Mr..
Schaffer's remarks fairly sparkled with
compliments to republcanism and the
achievements of the party in the devel-
opment of the country.
Mr.. Schaffer said in part:
"When we contemplate the marvel
Gus prosperity of Garfield county and
measure the possibilities of her future,
We cannot refrain from expressing the
sentiment that this little empire of
peace, contentment and prosperity must
be normally republican.
ga benevolent nature has made our
soil right here a little more riotous in
its production than it is at any other
planted the kiss of perfection upon the
peach and the apple of the valley. We
nave an hundred gates to our temple of
resources. 1t is mans playground and
the good Lord 8 hospital for His afflict-
ed ones.
"And, my friends, under the triumph
ant banner of progress and republican
ism our measure of prosperity will be as
DOunQleSS ana llnlltleSS as tHe OceduS
that wash the shores of the world
"Have no fear that the republican
party will fail to keep pace with the
progress of the times For almost a
half century it has proven the author
of this progress. Its history is indis-
solubly linked with the progress of the
people. During its almost continuous
tenure to office-covering a period of
power for nearly fifty years has
wrought changes that have become the
marvel of the civilized world. Its his
tory has been one Of unparalleled
achievement. 1t has always stood like
plumed knight to bear the flag of the
nation over which it has exercised po-
litical control. The republican party
was the first to say Godspeed and place
the hand of benediction upon the brow
of the pioneer who braved his way to
the wilds of the then unknown west.
The homestead law was the irst step
in the great march toward the land Of
the setting sun. In the years that have
lapsed what transformation has been
wrought! Within the memory Of ma

it to the fact the chief pencil pusher

den spot.
"The republican party has been a
friend in need to its country and was
the eonservator of Old Glory when the
sad notes of war were belched forth
from the brazen throats of deadly canon
at Sumpter.
sit was the party in power when pro
tective laws were passed which guaran-
teed to the American manufacturer and
the American toiler that neither of them
need compete with the lily clad and un-
derpaid labor of the old world, but that
a loyal public sentiment at home would
permit them to establish business that
would furnish employment to the unem-
ployed and guarantee to the business
man that he should receive a reward for
the effort of his Drawn and brain and
capital.
"My friends, the history of the re-
publican party has been one of actual
achievement-of things accomplished
of pleasures bestowed upon the people
of want transformed to plenty-of
sorrow to joy and poverty to prosperity.
"Our joys are permanent-ou sor-
rows are transient. Our duty lies-not
in the overthrow of natural elementary
conditions but in the betterment of ar
tificial conditions over which we should
by right, exercise control.
Gas we meet today the star of re-
publican hope shines bright in Colora-
dos armament. Our democratic friends
in Denver are today struggling with all
the ills to which political flesh is heir
They will languish and languishing die.
With the aid and consent of republi-
can majority, and covering under the
lash of relentless leader, these recre-
ant democrats are trying to redeem the
pledges they made to the people two
years ago.
After reciting the achievements of the
recent congress in the passage of 351
laws in behalf of the people Mr.. Shaffer
continued:
"Now tell me, my friends, where is
the record of achievement presented by
the democratic party. 1t is a blank
page. The democratic party is the
party of doubt and despair. 1t breaches
the gospel of distrust and hate and ar
rays class against class. 1t clamors for
calamity. 1t was born when the planets
were in opposition. 1t was never united
in wedlock to principle that it did not
give that principle grounds for divorce
on the basis of non support.
"And now, if you will pardon me,
and I want you as business men to listen
carefully to this statement and put the
question to your neighbor:
"Suppose you employed manager
to conduct the affairs on your ranch or
in your place of business in some mer-
chantile line. And suppose that mana
ger should hire men to do the work on
condition that they were to do it in a
certain way. And suppose they failed
to do the work at all, but your manager
should pay them just the same and one

this promise be kept-go forth and try
it again!' with the help of their neigh
bors, who were not in your employ, they
finally did the work and then came to

''Can you by your own deduction find
the parallel between these recreant
workmen with the recreant manager
and the democratic members of the leg
islature and democratic governor?'
This last reference to the Colorado
legislators who are demanding double
pay for doing that which they promised
to do for one price and which they have
not yet accomplished, notwithstanding
their exaction of double pay, was easily
understood and was heartily applaud
ed.
