Powderhorn, Colo, Feb. ~. II.
Editor the News Champion,
Nothing but discredit can come
from the way the democratic MAJOR
lty in the state Legislature 10 acting
in their selection OF senator TO take
The plsce Of the late c. J Hughes
Jr. Their farcial play 10 not only
showing their hands, but their actions
ere sntaeon,stic 10 the welfare Of the
people, particularly with those who
are trying TO elect r. W. Speer to
the high Office of senator, when his
public acts have been more in favor
of the side Of the great interests aud
Of republicanism than Of democracy
Take Mr.. Speer's record into CON
sideration and what might we expect
him to do ON public questions If he
was elected? We would find his
vote recorded with the interests,
just as it has been during the time
he has been ma jor Of Denver
The democratic party outside Of
Denver can blame itself for the posi-
tion in which it 10 placed, because Of
the stand taken at the last state con-
vention when the delegates allowed
Speer and his gang to sit in the con-
veBtion and vote on the seating of
the themselves, at the same time not
allowing G. :. Thomas and his fol-
lowing to do the same. Not a man
outside Of Denver, could or would,
see the injustice of it.
If the people had a chance TO vote
directly there would not be half as
much dissatisfaction, and . senator
satisfactory to the majority Of the
people of Colorado would now be
installed at Washington
There are members Of the house
from counties outside of Denver who
vote for Spe-r, and yet when they
were asking for election they were
profuse in their praise of Governor
Shafroth. Nov when the time comes
for them TO show their appreciation
of him they slide to Speer, when
there is no comparison between them,
Shafroth being many leagues a
superior and the peoples choice.
But there will be q chance TO lay
these members on the shelf in two
years.
