RESERVOIR COMPANY Is
NOW IN A HEAVY SUIT

For the recovery of the sum of
$26,OS9.96 suit has been brought by
the Water Supply and Storage COM
pany against the Poudre Valley Res
ervoir and Irrigation comapny In the
Larimer county district court. The
suit is based on the alleged loss
which the defendant company suffer-
ed at the hands of the Poudre Valley
company when, on June IA. 1909,
the Poudre Valley ditch which runs
ditch OF the Water Supply and Stor-
age company burst its banks and
rushing down the mountain side car
ried away the other ditch. The great
flow of water was caused by cloud
burst.
1t is the claim OF the Water sup
ply company that they lost thereby
399. 100000 cubic feet OF water. 1t
is alleged further that the Poudre
Valley company did make some
return payment to the defendent

of its water into the supply COM
pany's use but that there is still a
just debt OF $26,Os9.s6 due.
Negligence is alleged on the part
OF the Poudre Valley company.
There is an important question
involved as to whether or not the
water which has not yet reached Its
point of storage is subject to dam

shame and to the disgrace of the dis
trict which sent him to the capital
city. has worked tirelessly in the
cause OF the corporations. He has
broken faith with the people at
whose hands he owes his election.
There was time-no longer ago
in fact than the Farmers club con-
vention of last fall when Mr.. Carpen-
ter, speaking before the assembled
farmers OF Weld county said:
LET us urge home to you the
great need OF senator from Weld
county who has thorough know
ledge of irrigation law"
And we submit that. while the
knowledge OF irrigation law is neces-
saly to the we'll equipped legislator
from this section Of the state, one
essential characteristic is of greater
need-we mean the keeping of faith
with the people who give you power,
Weld county had much better be
represented by one less skilled in
Irrigation law and any other kind OF
law than by Judas of brains.
Senator Carpenter has betrayed
the people of Weld county. Let him
expect future favors from the cor
hA
In his attack on the direct pri-
mary which he had promised to sup
port, Mr.. Carpenter claimed that the
passage OF the measure would place
the state government under mob
rule, would put the statute books
in the hands of the ignorant COM
mon people, would. In other words,
allow the people of the county to
have voice in the government and
not have the much talked to gov
ernment by the people, mere
bauble for the corporation tools to
cast aside as they do under the pres
ent system.
And, in view of his service in the
cause of the corporations, MIR. Car
penter was right. The direct legisla-
ton. the initiative, the referendum
and the recall are framed for the
very purpose of doing away with cor
ruptfon and broken promises; and
to place forever a check upon that
brand of American politician typi-
fed in the person of DELPHI r. Car
penter of Weld county.

PARTY PRINCIPLE AND THE
PEOPLES GOOD

The fact that all the papers of the
state, both the large and small town
dailies. have generally come out fiat
footed in favor of the reforms which
are being carried out by the demo-
cratic party in the extra session at
this time shows that the press, re-
gardless of party feeling believe the
reforms desirable and for the good
of the people. 1t has been said that
he serves his party best who best
serves the nation and in smaller
fields probably he best serves his
party who serves in the highest de-
gree the people as a whole.
In consequence of this and reflect
ing the feeling of their constituents,
the papers of the state have been
urging the passage of the initiative
and the referendum. That is, all o,
them have with the exception OF the
corporation owned press which is
headed by the Denver Republican.
The echoes about the state have Of
fered feeble arguments why the re-
forms should not be passed. but
usually. falling to produce reason
therefor. they turn from the subject
and revile Governor Shafroth and
the state administration for the
expense incurred in the calling of
the extra session.
But the people know what they
want. A majority OF them wanted
the reforms which are now being
passed or that majority of them
would not have placed the present
administration In power.
And those few senators and the
occasional journal which have OPP
posed the passage of these bills.
have been induced in their actions
generally by the corporations by
which they are owned. 1t Is simply
a question of obeying the master
which feeds them and they are fore
ed to howl or go without the daily
pittance.

SHAFROTH AND OTHER CANDI-
DATES

of the various county conventions
which have thus far been held in
opinion among the counties as to the
hand that shall have the trust OF the
democratic party this fall. Summit

ties in the southern part OF the
state have come out flat-footed as
opposed to the present occupant oi

doubtedly instruct for Shafroth. as
will several of the other counties OF
the northern part of the state.

will go for John F. Shafroth. though

JOHN SHAFROTH AND ANOTHER
TERM

Honest politicians throughout the
state regardless of political persuas-
ion rejoice at the information which
has been given out by John F.. Shaf-
roth, that he will be candidate for
reelection this coming fall.
Governor Shafroth has fought for
the people. he has been successful In
his fight. He called the extra session
for the purpose of redeeming the
pledges which were made to the peo-
pie and upon which he stood in the
last election. The fact that the peo-
pie placed him in Office on the
grounds of these promises proved
that they wanted them. Consequent
ly. Governor John Shafroth in spite
of the Irbys, the Carpenters and
other corporation tools. felt the great
need of keeping faith with the peo-
pie. And he has done it
Colorado's head is beginning to
arise from the political mire in which
1t has been buried for decade past.
1t is to such men as John F. Shaf-
roth that Colorado looks for con-
tinuation of the work which has been
started.
And the fight has been a,hard one.
For the first three weeks of the extra
session the outcome was most dubi-
Gus. Money was flooded into the
state house by the corporations, the
agents OF the interests were forever
present, both among the Legislators
| themselves and In the lobby work
which was done.
One legislator openly declared that
| two courses we're open to him, either

secure wealth and further advance.

And he chose the latter course.
But there was majority of poll
4 ticians in the house and the senate
who were men of such character thai
I they fought to the end in the cause
which they had espoused. the cause
which the people wished to prevail.
And with Governor Shafroth al
the guiding hand throughout the
fight. honesty has been successful
the people have gained the Creates
of the reforms. democracy has beer
vindicated in this state.
Despite a pressure which has seld
ON been brought to bear against any
man, Honest John Shafroth hal
proved his right to govern Colorado
| And there can be no doubt but thai
the people will stand behind him
and allow him to complete the worl
which has been started for the clens

TIRE BUILDERS ON STRIKE.
Owing to Reduction in Wages at Hartford Rubber Works About 300 Men Quit Work-Pubic Sympathy with
 the Strikers Statements by Both Sides.

 On the main. point, i. e., the claimed cut in wages, we feel lack of knowl- edge of the exact facts has been re- sponsible for any criticism directed against us.

At the time of going to press there is no change in the situation regarding the controversy between the Hartford Rubber Works Company and the strik- ing tire builders. The company states that under the proposed schedule, that it desires to put into operation, no cut in wages is made, while the striking tire builders claim that if they accept the new schedule they will undergo a decided cut in wages. Both sides have explained the situation from their point of view, which is here repro- duced:

So great was the hearty reception given Frank J. McGee by over 200 en- thusiastic members of Organized La bor and others at Hotel Oneco, New Haven, Monday evening, January 10th, it almost made one wish that he also at some time might make sacrifice for thGsgood cause.

 Although all of the speakers made addresses appropriate to the occaslon' the most logical was that of President Donahue.

 The last speaker ol the evening was McGee, the hero of tne hour. He eX- pressed his appreciation of the frlend- ship and loyalty shown him, and said that he would be ever ready to serve the cause of the bread winner. When he arose to speak applause of several minutes duration was accorded him and at times during his brief remarks emotion overcamc him. After giving McGee three rousing cheers, three more were given for his wife, and then some one suggested that still another three be given for his kids
