COMPLETE LIST Of DELEGATES

The democrats of Garfield county
held their county convention in New
Castle last Saturday and in addition to
reaf1irming their allegiance to the prin-
cipes of Jefferson and Jackson, elected
delegates to the state and congressional
conventions. passed few resolutions
and while in the passing business pass

ard and did few other stunts of like
interest and Importance, but it no
where appears that they endorsed Gov
ernor Shafroth or his administration,
save for the mild approval of the gov
ernor in the calling of the extra ses-
sion, now almost brought to a close,
and this faint endorsement was made
by special resolution and on a special
plea.

The resolution as presented by E. E.
Drach. on behalf of the resolutions
committee. are as follows:
Resolved, That the democratic party
in Garfield county, in convention as
scmbled, reaffirm its allegiance to the
fundamental principles of democracy
as outlined by the immortal Jefferson;
principles which if ignored or departed
from would render impossibles the ex-
:stence of a free government. Recog-
nizing that good government is but
good business judgment guided and ii-
rected by a spirit of justice to all
classes, we realize the Importance of all
legislation necessary to meet the re-
qurements of ever changing and shift
ing conditions characteristic of a pro-
gressive people; and to that end we
favor the enactment of all legislation
which will meet the necessity of the
times, keeping the ship of democracy
ever in its course, guided by the chart
and compass of Jefferson. with the in
flexible courage of Jackson.
The great question of the day is,
"Shall the people rTe?" while tha
great menace to our free institutions
is generally recognized to the dishonest
wealth of politics. Great corporate
organizations known as "Trusts' seek
ing through the republican party and
its policy of high protective tariff to
not only impoversh the people fnan
cially, but also to enslave them to their
power legally.
1t has been admitted through repub
lican sources that high protection is
the mother of trusts and recognizing
the enemy, we remind the people that
the attitude of democracy is now and
always has been in opposition to The
doctrine of high protection, ever con
tending that its practical effect is but
to further enrich the rich at the ex
pense of the poor.
The highest mission of political or
ganization is honest laws and honest
capable officials which guarantee to al
classes equal rights, liberty and pro
lection. and to do justice to ALL with
out fear: free from radicalism and pre-
iudice. Such are the teachings of Dem
ocracy.
The Democracy of Garfield count.
has kept the faith and through it
election of honest. capable officials TO
state, county and municipal position
has given to the people that quality o
administration of public affairs whic
will commend it for continuation i
mower in the heart and mind Of al
thinking people.
So as it has done in the past, so wi
it pledge itself in the future ever t
labor in the interest Of the great mass
es Of the plain people for whose prc
lection Democracy was organized an
from whom it receives its support.
Resolved, That we endorse the spler
did business administration Of the stat
and county in all its Democratic depar'
ments, while the work Of Colorado
