Gilpin observer., 1912-08-22

vises the Springfield Republican. But
it goes down better with one of those
Marshall chasers.
If every advisor of Gov. Wilson
contributed 81 with his advice there
would be no concern as to the rails
ing of an adequate campaign fund.
The Democratic platform boiled
down is: "Take your hand out of
my pocket"
We hear a great deal these days,
about "steam rollers" Every one
who failed to get on the primary bal
lot lays his misfortune to this or that
steam roller" The primary law pro-
vides a way for every dissatisfied
one getting on the primary ballot.
No matter with what political par
ty he has affiliated in the past, no
person with truly progressive ideas
can conscientiously find fault with
Democracy and it's 1912 national can
didates. Woodrow Wilson and the
1912 platform are certainly UP to the
standard of any ideal progressive.
Uneasy lies the head that wears
a crown" is an old saying which
might we'll be applied to the post
masters and other government Off
cials who hold positions of trust (and
emoluments) under the present nat
ional administration. That Wilson
will be the next president is not dis
puted, but what the majority shall
be is the only matter which COM
mands the attention of the sporting
fraternity.
Times ought to be good the coming
fall. George w. Perkins. head of the
Harvester Trust, and good "angel"
OF the PMll Moose party is arranging
to spend 100000 in behalf of the
Oyster Bay candidate.

of the grand old commonwealth of
Virginia-is marching on to Washing
ton at the head of victorious army
of 100000 patriotic voters shouting
Long Live Democracy-the father
and preserver of our liberties"
The state bank commissioner fig
ures that the cash per capita in Colo

Mr.. Dobbins of jefferson county
formerly editor of the Peoples Press
at Golden, has bought the Idaho
Springs Mining Gazette and succeeds
V. I. Noxon as editor OF that spicy
paper. Mr.. Dobbins will continue the
as a progressive Democratic
