ARour THAT ALLEGED GRAFT

The only prominent papers in Col
orado that have publicly announced
their ownership by the corporation
syndicate are the Denver Times and
the Denver Republican; they have
trained their campaign guns on the
Initiative and Referendum. This
indicates clearly where the oppo-
sition to this important amendment
lies, and should arouse the friends
OF the measure to action.
The opposition of the corporate
interests to this amendment is the
strongest argument in favor of its
adoption. and there is no reason
to doubt that It will receive an
overwhelming majority Of the votes
next month.
The chief argument against 1t Of
fered by the Times is that 1t Is big
newspaper graft. and will cost the
state hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in publication fees every time a
state election is held. In answer to
this assertion is appended to this
article a statement by George E.
Hosmer. who is state commissioner
of printing. who gives the exact
figures. After studying this state
ment carefully. no one will deny
that the expenditure of this small
amount of money for the placing of
such an instrument in the hands OF
the people, Is but drop in the buck
ct compared to the graft that is con-
tinually being worked on the public
by the owners of such papers as the
Denver Times. This instrument
properly welded will prevent the
sQuandering of vast sums Of money
that are continually being taken from
the state treasury through the "in-
our representatives.
Compare this statement with the
Denver Times statement, and in the
comparison you get an idea of just
how much truth there is in the state
ments emanating from the organized
opponents OF the initiative and Ref
erendum-the machine politicians
and their masters. the corporations.
Furthermore, don't overlook the fact
that, under this Initiative and Refer
endum, the people have a right to
make changes at any time and II the
present system of publication is con-
sidered burdensome. the Oregon
plan of sending to each voter a
pamphlet containing the proposed
amendment or law can be used, or
any other system may be adopted.
Mr.. Hosmer's statement follows:
Hon. John H. Gabriel.
Denver. Colo.
Dear Sir-In response to an in
Quiry as to the cost OF publishing
the constitutional amendment in re-
gard to the Initiative and Referen-
dunn would say that the expense Is
$5.512.00. This Is in twelve daily.
two semi-weekly and forty-si1 week
ly newspapers.
Yours sincerely,
George e. HOsmer."

yIRTUOUs (?) ANXIETY

A gang of misguided tories In
Denver, under the chairmanship OF
ex-Congressman h. w. Bonying, have
organized what they are pleased to
herald to the voters as the Repre-
sentative Government league, the
purpose oil which is to relentlessly
oppose the adoption of the Initiative
and Referendum amendment. They
are preparing to flood the state with
a literary food during the last few
days of the campaign and one OF
their .'strong points" will be the diff
ference between our Amendment and
the Oregon law which ours is sup
posed to lie copy. The difference
is in the means of submitting the
text of the laws hereafter to be re-
ferred to the people. The Oregon bill
provides pamphlet with all the
measures coming before the people,
being printed by the state and sent
direct to each voter through the mail
whereas. the Colorado law provides
that the law shall be printed In one
newspaper in each county. They fear
that the newspapers will grow fat
and oppressive from the state funds
thus earned!
Let the people Rule" should be
and we believe is dear to every Re
publican as to a Democrat and that
is all that the Initiative and Refer
endum Amendment means. The cit,
gangs who desire a special graft are
all opposed to direct legislation.

PRAISE FOR ADMINISTRATION

The leading editorial writer's in
Denver vie with each other In render
ing tribute to the present Democrat
ic administration. George Creel. in
the Denver Post, has this to say:
The denomination of Governor
Shafroth is very good thing for
the state but a much better thing
for the Democratic party. Cover
nor Shafroth has been honest and
has been faithful and by force of
circumstances he has come to stand
as the personal expression of those
great Legislative reforms that the
people are demanding. Had Shaf-
roth not been renominated. every
politician in the state would have
accepted it as a sign of absolute cor
poration control and every kept"
paper in the state would have hailed
it as a popular population" of the
Shafroth policy.

HE SURE YOUR VOTE COUNTS

In voting for members OF the iegis-
lature this fall, of which there are
two to be elected, 1t is very neces-
sary that voters inform themselves
in advance how to cast their ballots.
There will be great deal of scratch
ing on the legislative ticket: this
goes without saying. Our present
election law provides that where
there are two persons to be elected
to the same Office. as is the case
when. as this fall, there are two rcp-
resentalives to elect that. II the
voter wants to vote for one of the
candidates on the other ticket. he
must not only place an x opposite
the name of the man he wants to
vote for. but also. he must draw =
pen through the name of the candi-
date on his own ticket that he does
not want to vote for. Otherwise
his vote wf1l not be counted.

provision lost judge Bennett his Of

That He Drove Burglars Away from

who reported driving two would-be
burglars away from the First National
Bank, early this morning, insists on
the correctness of his story, in spite
of the skepticism of some citizens and

was alone in the bank, his word must
stand, even without proof, for the
burglars are not expected back to tes-
tify. Two watchmen are now on duty
in the bank.

turned here. tonight and will at once
