A new committee has been ap-
pointed to investigate the CHARGES
Of frauds in the election of U. 5.
senator Lorimer Of Illinois.
Will it be another whitewash. or
will the investigation be though.
Every American Citizen has a
right tofeel an inteaest in a mat
ter of this kind. If Lorimer was
honestly elected to the high Office
of senator of the United States he
should remain in that position
but it Corporation money secured
for him this position then the
people have a right to know it,
And further he sh ,ul be deprived
of his seat in the highest legisla-
tive body in tn. government
When the election Of United Stat
es senator's is submitteted to the
people such investigation will moi
be necessary, We believe there IS
sufficient sentiment in the senate
of the United States against such
compt practices. to insure an inn
partial inquiry into the facts and
that Justice will be done in this
case at this time. If others have
obtained a place in the Senate
through fraud they should be in
vestigated and if found guilty
they should be unseated.

Auditorium hotel Saturday night,
the Progressive Repu blicans re-
solved that campaign funds for

This means that the Progressive

E. P. Costigan, chairman OF the

few months by rep esentatives OF
the old gangster Republicans

Much is being said throughout
the state for and against Governor
Shafrotb regarding his use of the
veto power. Some of the measures
thus prevented from becoming
laws merited just such treatment,
and even if SINE bills vetoed
should have received his signature
he certainly has shown that he has
more forethought for the best in
terests of the state than had the
m.mbers of the legislature who
played the game of politics when
they should have been trying to
represent their constituency.

inlpart. introduced by ]. 5. Temple,
and unanimously adopted by the
meeting
Recent political h istory in
this state and IN the nation has
conclusively shown. that the
great majority of Republican vot-
ear both IN Colorado and in the
country at large are aligned with
the progressive movement which
is sweeping the country. and,
there fore. we bblieve that the
most effective way to embody
these progressive policies in o the
government of this state is trough
the rehabilitation of the Republi-
can party and the relegation to the
rear of those discredited politi
clans servants of the interests who
have fastened themselves like
leeches on the city. country and
state organizations
"lf this publication of the Re
publican party should fail of sue.
cess. a third party will inevitably
come into existence which will
sweep into power over the heads
OF both.
We favor the adoption under

discovery of the stolen suitcase and
three others, none of which are be-

hesitated about taking him into Gus
tody. Finally, however. they walked
up TO him and placed him under ar
rest
A search of his pockets convinced
them that they had made no mistake.
In one pocket were seven razors and
in another was a skeleton key. which
he had evidently used To enter the
room at the Thibodo He also had
lady's neck chain and 30 cents in
silver
The prisoner did not speak more
than dozen words. Here, what do
you fellows mean, anyway" he said,
while being searched When he was
taken to the city Jail he gave his
name as J-W. Forbes. He was the
most taciturn customer either officer
had ever met. When questions were
asked him he would merely stare as
though he had not heard.
Rowe identified the overcoat Forbes
was wearing as his own. Forbes stead

hidden Schmidt's suitcase.
