COLORADO UTAH ROAD

z&=.

Denver, April 6.--Let Utah know
that Colorado is on the map when il
comes TO good roads, is the word be-
ing sent broadcast to all good road
enthusiasts in the state. This action
is taken because OF reports from Salt
Lake City. which lead Colorado peo-
pie to believe that the Importance OF
a good road from Grand Junction to
the Utah capital is being overlooked
by the people of that state.
The present idea of titan people
seems to be to push the construction
of good road leading into Ogden and
Salt Lake City by way OF Cheyenne
and Laramie. thus leaving Colorado
of the map.
Colorado people are much inter-
ested in transcontlnentai routes, and
three roads are now mapped out
across the state. These all meet at
Grand Junction. and IT is absolutely
necessary that there be good road
from that point to the Utah capital.
Every section of the state is interest

The results in Pennsylvania. Illinois.
Maine and elsewhere make 1t certain that
city will have to fight before the Chicago
convention for their tainted title. There
will be an emphatic protest against per-
mitting these men to exercise rights that

law and decency. !, would be an out
rage to allow them 10 stand equally with

has been honestly expressed.

followers could II they pleased take
the easy course and permit these fraud
delegates to cast their ineffective ballots;
but the fight for honest delegates is q

ing men into camp. We propose to brand

is due to fraud. and the Roosevelt forces
will fight to the end 70 cast out every one
Of them. no matter who he is and re-
gardless of consequences.

by Herbert Parsons and elected as u
result OF this iniquitous conspiracy against
honesty and fair play will have the espe-
cial consideration Of the Roosevelt ma jor-
ity at Chicago. because they are the most
conspicuous examples Of the fraud prac-
tised In NO many places throughout the
country"
In another place the statement says:

mating from that quarter that possibly
