Mr.. Aldrich has q currency plan
which will be discussed great deal
In the future. We do not know much
about the merits of this plan, but We
are quite sure that 1t will not be
adopted even though 1t proves the
best that was ever thought Of. Any
thing that bears the Aldrich stamp
is now in disrepute. We venture to
say that large part, probably . ms
jority, Of American voters will know
that the plan is wrong - soon ~ they
hear that Aldrich had something to
do with it, No use for them to even
read it; that matter IL already set
tied In their minds. What do We
mean by this? Simply this: Most
people are governed by prejudices,
not by reason.-Routt County Re-
