Governor of Oklahoma for the COM
bined job of two United States SEN
ators." Governor Cruce expressed
the fond hope that his party would
have nothing to do with new fang
led propositions during the 1912
campaign and said that if "the Dem
ocratic party returned to the old
fashioned Jacksonian Democracy"
that it would come out with flying
colors.
A bulletin issued by the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor covers
the census of manufactures for the
year 1905 for the states of Colorado,
Idaho, Nevada, and Utah. In the
Colorado statistics it is interesting
to note the comparative summary
