The Republican state assembly
will be held in Denver July 31st
The Democratic assembly will be
held in Pueblo ADJUST 5th. These
assemblies nominate presidential
electors and take one ballot for
candidates for each of the state of
fices to be filled by election this
fall. Any person receiving ten per
cent of the total membership of
the assembly will be entitled to
have his name on the official pri-
mary ballot.

Roosevelt. recently addressed a
letter to Chairman Mcdonald. In
this letter the committee states
that it has been said that persons
favorable to Mr.. Roosevelt will not
be allowed to vote at Republican
primaries, but will be challenged.
The committee asks Chairman Nc
Donald for his position on this mat
ter. The chairman in discussing
this letter, said: "The only posi-

"Ihou Shalt Not Steal"

Already number of states
wherein the Roosevelt leaders were
in control of the republican organ
ization have determined to place
Roosevelt electors upon the ballot.
Therefore man who desires to
vote for the nominee of the repub-
lican party for president must go
outside the lines and place the re-
publican electors upon the ticket
by petition.
This is undoubtedly the most
barefaced piece of political piracy
that has been accomplished in this
country in the last generation. 1t
is nothing less than plain stealing
upon the part of the author of that
new campaign slogan. Thou shalt
not steal" If there Is anything
more closely resembling grand lar
ceny than for a Roosevelt crowd of
politicians to place their electors
upon the ticket when the real NOM
inee of the party. as is everywhere
recognized by honest men, is Will
liam II. Taft. then we do not know
larceny when we meet 1t face to
face. 1t is a thoroughly crooked
and dishonest deal.
The only way in which re-
publican may vote for the republic
can nominee for president in the
state of Kansas. for example. will
be by writing in the names of
Taft electors in the ballot. unless
perchance some way may be found
to place them upon the ballot by
petition.
The plan of these Third Termers
apparently is to steal the electors
for Roosevelt in the states where
they control the organization; but
in other states where they do not
control the organization and can
not manipulate the ballot their
purpose is to form Progressive
party and run Roosevelt. Thus In
some states they are republicans;
in others they are National Pro-
gressives or some other party. In
Colorado we have the petition wing
of the party and We have the out
and out third party branch-the
purpose of both Is the same-to Sc
cure the Roosevelt electors upon
the ballot and to take republican
votes.
One thing is clear. and that is
that the purpose of these preda-
tory persons is well known through.

being taken to stop the theft by
all necessary means. Colorado

The meeting of the subscribers
to the guaranty fund for the
Prowers County Fair was held at
the club rooms on Tuesday after
noon with ID. b. Novels as chair
man, and Fred Marx, secretary.
A resolution was unanimously
adopted that it was the sense of
the guarantors to go ahead and
hold a first class fair for the coun-
ty on the dates previously set. Aug

equal to any ever held in the Ar

The fair has already been reinstat-

DATES, AUGUST 20 TO %

Republican assembly will be held
in Denver July 31st. the Democrat
ic assembly in Pueblo August 5th.
the Progressive convention in Dem
yer August LIST.
The state assemblies are a new
feature in Colorado politics. In
some ways they correspond to the
old state convention with the ex-
ception that there is not the OPP
portunity for such bitter struggles
over nominations. The assemblies
only take one ballot on candidates
for each office to be filled and
anyone receiving 10 per cent of the
total vote in the assembly is en-
titled to have his or her name on
the primary ballot.
The assemblies are formed in
the same way that state conven-
lions were formed. Each party
ty conventions and names delegates
to the assembly. This year the
Republicans will probably have q
bitter contest because those known
as Stewart Republicans have an
nounced that they intend to sup
port Roosevelt. but that they also
intend to participate in Republi-
can primaries. Mr.. Roosevelt is go
ing to run on another party ticket
are insisting that the Roosevelt
people belong to Mr.. Roosevelt's
new party and not to the Republic
can party. They will insist that
the Roosevelt people have no place
in the state convention. The Cos
tfgan crowd has accepted this de-
cree as being just and has organ
lied a party of its own.
When the assemblies meet they
will nominate six presidential cleo
tors whose names will go on the
official ballot next November. To
this extent the assemblies are a
state convention. They will then
proceed to take one ballot for
every state office to be filled. Any
candidate for any office who re-
ceives 10 per cent of the vote will
have his name placed on the pri-
mary ballot providing he accepts
the nomination secured at the as
sembly. The man receiving the
highest vote will have his name at
the head of the ticket and so on.
Judicial. Legislative, congression-
al and county assemblies will also
be held and the same rules prevail
for candidates before those assem-
blies that prevail before the state
assembly.
Following the various assem-
blies any person who desires to be
candidate before the primaries
can do SO by filing petitions with
the secretary of state requesting
that his name be placed on the pri-
mary ballot of any panty to which
he belongs. Candidates for state,
congressional, or United States
senatorial positions must have
their petitions signed by 300 res
ident voters of the state. All other
candidates must have their petitions
signed by 200 resident voters of
the political subdivision in which
they hope to become an officer, pro-
viding the 200 do not exceed 10
per cent of the last vote cast for
governor. If it does his petition
need only be signed by 10 per
cent of the last gubernatorial vote.

The progressives are planning to
hold a convention and nominate a
complete set of candidates. If
they agree to abide the decision
of that convention they can pc
ution and put those names on the
regular November ballot. but if
they split then they can put as
many candidates as they want for
each office on the primary ballot
and settle their differences over
candidates at the primaries.
The primaries will be held on
the second Tuesday in September.
The vote will be counted the

AT this same meeting of the state

dates. the legislative candidates
and the hold-over senators OF that
party shall be called into the con-
ference after the election of the
state chairman, vice-chairman and
secretary and a platform shall be
drafted. The platform must be
filed with the secretary of state
not later than five days after the
date of that meeting.
This carries the campaign up to
five days after the fourth Tuesday
in September. and the parties have
then completed their list of candi-
dates and their platforms and are
ready for the scrap between them
selves, which this year will con-
tinue until election day, Novem-

Anyone not satisfied with results
as obtained above can get on the
regular November election ticket
through petition by securing the
same number of signatures that
would have been required to get
on the primary ticket and can GER
tify a platform of his own and
make the race independently.
1t will thus be seen that in or
der to be elected to any position
a candidate muss make his fight
through the regular caucuses, pri-
maries and county conventions and
secure 10 per cent of the member
ship of the state assembly in or
der to get on the primary ballot.
He must then make his fight
through the primaries and secure
a majority of those voting his
party ticket. He must then attend
the meeting in Denver to draft the
platform and after that must make
his campaign for reelection.
