Denver Trades and Labor Assembly
and for many other labor organiza-
tions in Denver, and by making a
study of their aims and objects he
has become one of their most valued
friends, and on account of his long
experience in the battles of trades
unionists he is able TO render them
unprecedented service in the con-
gress of the United States.
As editor and manager of the
Pueblo Chieftain he opposed James
II. Peabody for governor during the
second campaign for the governor
ship. He opposed the seating of Pea
body when Alva Adams was elected
by $4,000 plurality. He was loud in
his opposition to the decisions of
Judge Gabbert during the Cripple
Greek labor war. He was always fair
to that militant labor organization.
the Western Federation of Miners.
What more could any man do for
union labor?
What other qualifications are nee
essary that a trades unionists may
conscientiously vote for a congress
sional candidateq
Isaac n. Stevens is candidate
for congressman-at-large on the Re
publican ticket Through his popu-
lar publication-and otherwise-he
has always been fair to the trades
mionist. His experience as an at
torney for trades unions has fitted
him for the office to which he as
pires; and as he has given decided
views ON great questions that con-
front the trades unionist, The Bulle-
tin cannot do otherwise than say
that he is good man to send to
Washington as representative of
all the people.

Candidate for Congress is Labor's Friend.

There is candidate for congress
man-at-large ON the Republican
ticket who deserves the considera-
ton of every union man in the state
Of Colorado. l. N. Stevens is the
man to whom we have reference in
this article.
Mr.. Stevens is the publisher of the
Pueblo, Colo, Chieftain, and employs
none but union men in all depart
ments of his newspaper plant. When
Mr.. Stevens took charge of the paper
above mentioned the stereotyping
department was conducted on the
"open shop plan, but when the Of
ficers of the local anion requested
that the department be unionized,
the nonunion men were discharged
and the organization asked to fill
their places. This was one of the
first acts that brought Mr.. Stevens
to the attention of the trades union
lists of the state. Stevens has always
employed union men--he believes in
unions and the organization of work
ingmen.
Mr.. Stevens appeared before the
Denver Trades and Labor Assembly
at the regular meeting two weeks
ago. He said he was not there to
make a speech-for he believed the
delegates got plenty of ''hot air."
but he said he was there to answer
such questions as the delegates might

keNEHAN A CANDIDATE.
Auditor Kenehan Asks to Be Elected
State Treasurer.

Providence is credited with moving in
a mysterious way when it has some i'm
portant work to be done, but it Is doubt
full If Providence ever worked more
mysteriously than when it selected a
hard-working blacksmith to hammer the
business affairs of a great state into
shape. Usually when great business
corporation desires an auditing of its az
fairs it sends out and employs the most
expert accountants that money will buy
Two years ago the state of Colorado real
lied that its business affairs were badly
in need of auditing, and Roady Kenehan,
the blacksmith, was selected for the job.
That the voters of the state had the re-
motest idea that Mr.. Kenehan would
prove an expert auditor is beyond belief,
and in the light of results secured dur
ing his administration it must be con-
cededs that Providence has certainly
turned another mysterious trick. For.
contrary to all expectations, Roady Ken
chan proved to be the most expert and
business-like auditor the state of Colora-
do has ever supported.

This is indeed a revolutionary age, a
time of flux- 1t used to be that we could
go to bed and be perfectly sure of find
ing things unchanged in the morning,
but that happy certainty has gone from
us. and the best we can do is to hope and
pray that some little landmark will be
left standing. This spirit of change is
peculiarly manifest in our government
municipal, state and national-and un-
less'a halt is called. we will have to
change our whole opinion of politics. 1t
used to be that a citizen could go into a
state house. for instance, and run no risk
of being surprised by efficiency, honesty
and courtesy, seeing on every hand the
laziness, graft, dishonor and insolence
that had come to be considered right and
proper in public service. Today. how
ever, such visitor is continually
shocked by evidences of energy. ability
and devotion to the public interests, and
an atmosphere of courtesy. honesty and
efficiency.
Colorado's statehouse is amazingly
rich in these surprises. In the govern
or's office Mr.. Shafroth is actually insist
ing that platform pledges should be car
ried out-Auditor Kenehan has made
everybody realize that the peoples mon
ey is not mamma from heaven-and in the
secretary of states quarters, one James
B. Pearce is conducting affairs as though
the office was a private business.
The reforms and Improvements that
this one man has brought about are as
many as remarkable.

clerks jostling, pulling and hauling with
