which was dangerous to the welfare

We approve the action of the Re-
publican members Of the General AS
sembly in making possible the submis-
sion to the voters of the state of
constitutional amendment for the ini-
ative and referendum. There being
diversity of opinion upon this ques-
ton among Republican voters of the
state, we would consider it presumpt-
nous for us to advise them in rela.
ton to their vote, for the matter has
passed beyond the influence of party

We are in hearty sympathy with
the fullest participation Of the whole
electorate in the Affairs Of both the
party and the government, and we
hereby direct the chairman Of the Re.
publican state central committee to
include In the call for the selection
Of delegates to the state Republican
convention to be held in the year 1912
q provision that the voters at the time
of making the selection of delegates
to such convention register their
choice Of a candidate for the United
States senate for the term beginning
March 4, 1912.
In order to make the choice of the
Republican electors, when so express
ed, effective, we demand that all can
Gidates for the senate upon the Re-
publican tickets to be voted for at
the election in 1910 and all legislative
candidates upon the Republican ticket
for the election in 1912 be required
to pledge themselves to faithfully
vote for and support the candidate
so selected.
We sympathize with the people Of
Colorado in the increased burdens of
taxation placed upon them by the
present incompetent and extravagant
Democratic state administration. We
denounce the blind partisanship and
rnseemly struggle for Office which led
the chief executive to burden the peo-
PIE with the needless expense OF an
extra session of the legislature The
call for such extra session was with
out excuse or precedent. 1t was a
violation of the spirit if not the letter
of the constitution. If any exigency
existed for the call. that exigency ex-
isted at the adjournment of the reg.

this, the chief executive waited a Pc

We call attention to the success at

many such illegal combinations which

States and during one of hts memor
able visits to Colorado. In one of hil
public utterances, Theodore Roose
welt said: Build permanent and at
tractive highways throughout youl
state and you will become the Switz
erland Of America and the playground
OF the world"
Recognizing the great truth of this
statement and the vast benefits to &C
crue to our commonwealth through
this medium, We declare for q com
prehensive system of roadbuilding in
our state which shall conform to q
general plan approved by our state
highway commission.
We recommend the enactment Of
such laws by the next legislature OF
Colorado as will enable counties un'
der proper and safe provisions to call
special elections for the purpose OF
voting bonds to provide funds for the
construction Of common public high
ways.
We favor the enactment into law Of
the parcels post bill now pending be-
fore congress.
The agricultural school lands of the
state should be held in trust to be dis.
posed Of only to actual settlers, and
we condemn the present state land
board for its administration of these
lands. The present Democratic board
has sold three times as much land as
has any preceding administration, and
these lands have not gone to actual
settlers. but have been disposed of TO
spectators in large bodies.
We declare ourselves in favor of a
complete revision Of our revenue laws
along lines which will permit of the
general adjustment of all tax burdens
by a central commission, or body, to
the end that the property of the small
taxpayers shall not be taxed al a
higher rate than that of the large tax

BIG AUTO SHOW
Record Breaking Attendance
Keeps Up, and AerOplanes
Attract Much Attention.

Despite the handicap imposed by the
weather, the attendance at the third
annual exhibit of the New Jersey Auto
mobile and Motor Gu in Essex Troop
Armory has kept UP to reeord-breaking
figures. Yesterday afternoon and eve
ming the building was crowded with in
terested automobile owners and pros
pective buyers. Even the morning at
tendance IA far in excess of what
had been expected. The managers of
the various exhibits express themselves
as more than gratified at the results
thus far, the sales being far ahead Of
a corresponding period at any former
show. 1t is c~onserVatively estimated
that yesterdays sales aggregated close
to 10000, and the best days of the
show are still to come. Taking advan-
tage OF the holiday today, the armory
vas thronged early and Roseville ave.
nue. was filed with throbbing autos
Of an almost endless variety of design.
1t was made clear very early i'm the
day that a brisk business would be
enjoyed by every exhibitor at the show.
An interesting feature yesterday was
the opening of the aeroplane exhibit,
consisting of eighteen different models.
This department of the show attracted
unusual attention, and from the nu-
merous inquiries made regarding the
various models it was evident that the
subject of aeroplanes is not only pretty

but is also rapidly gaining recruits in
Newark and vicinity.
Wilbur A. kimball, secretary of the
Aeroplane Club of America, is IL charge

were present from the North Jersey
Automobile Club, of Paterson: the
Plainfield Automobile Club, the Auto
mobile Club of America, the Automobile
Club OF Hudson county, the Middlesex
Automobile Club, and the Physicians
Automobile Club. of the Orange. Many
well-known auto enthusiasts from
neighboring cities were noticed in the
crowd yesterday inc today. Every ex-
hibit has received it's full share of
praise and the general arrangement and
plan of display are conceded to be a
big Improvement over former years.
The afternoon and evening concerts are
very popular and have proved not the
least of the many attractive features
of the show. AS BELTS the occasion,
tomorrow night will be designated as

Following a strike meeting, in which
practically every student OF the Michi-

pated, the faculty last night granted
the petition of the students for OBJ
of Washington's Birthday.
Urged by $50 co-eds patriots it was
decided to cut all classes today, un-
til the plea of a football star for more
conservative action induced the student
body to send a committee of protest to

BENDER'S BLOWS HURT
And SKILL SAVES HIM

AY HATFIELD was able to as
IN simulate considerable of the pun
ishment melted out to him by
Tony Bender in their bout at Central
Institute last night, but toward the
end of the final round Tony showed
his ring generalship to advantage and
worked in stomach blows that made
Ray cover up.
1t was one of the best cards of the
season and the big crowd showed APP
prevail time and again. Urged on by
his handlers, Hatfield extended himself
and got over some good rights to the
jaw, but many bearing the haymaker
label went to the winds when the
Elizabeth boy slipped to one side. Ben
der does not often have to show all he
knows, but for Il time last night he
had to step some.
From a scientific point of view the go
between George Cummings and Jack
Donovan was a hummer and kept the
FANS on edge. Both boys moved speed
lily from start to finish and flashed over
some singing swings. Young Ferris
and Terry Jones started to go some
in the third round of their bout and
healthy wallops were exchanged. Sandy
Sullivan and Jack Boylan, of East Or
showed new positions in boxing,
Boylan getting the worst of punishment
in the third round and had to give
up. h other bouts, all of which were
decidedly interesting, were between Ed
Couglan. of Jersey City. and Harry
Seymour. of this city; Young Currie,
Of Chrome, and William Perna, of this
city: Herbert Haggas. of Jersey City,

Association will be held at Wevers's
Colosseum Friday night. The %organiza-
