deavoring at this election to promote
down by the American Federation of
Labor. l am addressing this letter and
sending a representative to you in order
that Organized Labor may understand
your position clearly before election day

you be sent to Washington to represent
the first district of Colorado in the con-
gress of the United States.

following telegram to the Denver Trades

"Mr. ]. F. Bedford, Secretary Denver

Isaac n. Stevens enters into his own
contract with the people. He says.
One of the drawbacks of a proper So
luton of governmental troubles in
America has been the cowardice of can
didates for public office.
Politics with US has been so long con-
trolled by appeals to prejudice and by
the corrupting influence of those who
have long used government for their
own profit that candidates have pre-
ferred to side-step important issues
rather than squarely and honestly face
them.
Thomas A Edison well remarked. in
his splendid interview declaring for Col
onel Roosevelt and the Progressive
Germany and Great Britain in applying
scientific and humane doctrines to the
hetterment of government.
There are many simple fundamentals
of government that most people agree
upon but which are no part of our gov
ernmental system or action. such as:
First-The aim of human life is hu-
man happiness and that government Is
barbarous that does not do its duty to
insure this result to all of its citizens.
Second-No collection or community
of people can long be happy or prosper
Gus where the principle of equal oppor-
tunity to all is not strictly enforced.
Third-It has been amply demonstrate
ed at home and abroad that this principle
can only be kept vital by the equity and
humanity of legislative enactment and
the impartial and strict enforcement OF
such enactments.
Fourth-To this end the state owes
the duty of protection all along the line
to the men and women of the nation
who carry on its great industrial enter
prises.
They should be assured of a minimum
wage that will support them decently
and in harmony with the demands of our
civilization.
The child should not be stunted In
physical growth or dwarfed in spiritual
development by being allowed or COM
pelled to labor in sweatshop or factory,
or otherwise. during the years that

ton.

The affair caused a sensation. Lieut.
Lee was exceedingly popular, and be-
sides, everybody pitied his beautiful
young wife and his little four year old
girl.
Full Of despair, the wife was sit

was to be led out in front Of his men,
a corporal would break his sword and
tear off his shoulder straps. And stll
he was innocent She did not doubt IL
for a moment.
With her little girl. she walked to
the prison to say goodbye to him. She
could do nothing 10 save him from
fate worse than death.
A guard remained with them as
they embraced each other. Lee said
to his wife in French: If you love

Mrs. Lee knew a witch who sold

to her early the next morning.
