The Canon City record with which is consolidated the Canon City cannon., 1912-08-29

Roady Kenehan has been state aud
itor and state treasurer and is now
running for state auditor again in the
Democratic primaries.
Roady thinks he has claim on the
state house and that .he people--the
dear people-owe him living for
ever.
His opponent in the primary is
Charles Leckenby. clean cut. young
man. as fYe a chap as was ever led
Into the dirty game OF politics. Mr.
Leckenby is the publisher of the
Steamboat Springs Pilot
Over this Office of auditor there was
great scrap in the state assembly
The state delegates were practically
unanimous for Leckenby and he was
about to get the Denver delegation.
Then Roady went amuck. He rag
ed and roared and swore In typical
Irish style. The row brought on an
adjournment SO that the row might
go on outside where there was no
danger of breaking up the furniture.
The bull was tolied out OF the China
shop-but the bull continued TO play
havoc with the delecate regulations of
the Denver leaders. Having been one
OF them Roady knew the tender spots.
And he showed no mercy.
With the threat OF exposure of the
private lives and political misdeeds
Of some OF the leaders he forced the
Denver delegation to give It's votes to
him.
The Denver Post telling the story
tells It as follows:
What happened to Thomas Is what
occurred In the presence OF all OF
them. Thomas. white with terror. APP
preached the state treasurer outside
the hall and said soothinsly. 'Roady.
be careful. You will hurt the party
ITO hell with the party" was the
response. when n gang OF thieves
like that Denver bunch tries to black
en- me. I'm going to take care of my
self"
But think OF the damage you1l do
to the ticket. to Wilson and to the
state organization. A man must be
careful when II comcs to matter OF
destroying the psrty's chances said
Thomas.
The party has taken care OF Jim
Pcarce and some OF the crooks in the
capitol whom have not spoken to for
years. replied Kenehan with sweep

There never was such scurrying as

to keep Kenehan quiet was to ad-

(By Mary L. eeffs.)


After every argument against So
cialism, has been answered AN oppon-
ent generally comes back with the
question that is supposed to be a set
tier. He says:
"Well. even if Socialism would be
all right, HOW ARE YOU GOING TO
GET IT? It sounds good about en-
ploying the unemployed; it is a fine
i, phrase. to catch the votes of the work
ing people, but it takes money to do
It. The government has already all
the expense it can stagger under, and
lit can't possibly take on any more
and live Now show us a practical
way of doing practical things or stand
convicted of being dreamers OF
dreams"
All right. There is nothing we like
better than getting down to brass
tacks nd talking practical things in q
practical way.
Our opponent has stated one uncons-
trovertable fact; that the present gov
ernm ent has all the load of expense
it can stagger under. And this is ouI
starting point. Socialism would rid it
of, great, unnecessary, and worse
E6haH unnecessary, expense, and here
is where it would get it's basis for a
fund for the employment of the un-
employed,

tive, since the matter is of too great
Importance to be simply neglected as
| it was on the first submission"
The re-submitted motion and COM
ment are as follows:
II move that subcommittee of one
be chosen by the National Executive
Committee to make a thorough exami-
nation of the qualifications Of the
Lyceum lecturers on the approved list,
assigned and unassigned, and that he
report upon the results of such exami-
nation with Recommendations to the
National Executive Committee as ex-
pediently as possible. The comrade to
be chosen as such sub committee shall
be authorized to secure information
about the qualifications of such lectur-
ers through personal interviews and
references, and authorized to require
the lecturers to submit to him manu-
scripts or synopses of their proposed
lectures; he shall be- authorized to
incur all necessary expense for that
purpose, including travelling and hotel
expenses, and shall be paid for his SER
vices at the same rates at which Iectur-
ers on the Lyceum course are paid.
The National Executive Committee
shall act upon such report at a meet
ing to be called for that purpose as
soon as practicable.
Comment: The Lyceurn Lecture
Bureau represents the most compre-
hensive as well as the most expensive
undertaking of the party at this time.

locals a large expense and will at the
same time offer to them the greatest
opportunity for solid education and

Gentlemen:
So you THINK that $2,O0O'a year and
six hours day is rather toosmuch to
promise the workingmen that Social
ism, do you?
And you base your think on the
statement that 1.-THE total yearly out
put of our manufactures sells for
twenty and one-half billion dollars; ;"
that the raw materials, miscellaneous
expense, etc., '1eaves only six and
oneshalf billions to be divided among
laborers, capitalists, managers, cleric
al force and wage earners. There
fore, ITO give the wage earners $1,000
each would take over $4,000, 0OO0 600
or more than twice the total wealth
created by the manufactures"
But, gentlemen, you have overlook
ed something. In fact you have over
| ooked several things. But there is
one thing you have overlooked that is
particularly important.
You say that the total yearly output
# the manufactures sells for twenty
| ind one-haf billion dollars. You are
| mistaken. At least the Thirteenth
! census Bulletin of the United States
/ for 1910 on manufactures ,saysadehn'
itely on page 8, in an explanatory
note, that the value of the products
in their tables represent the selling
value at TIE factory" They 90 not

The Negative Vote.
Note by National Secretary: The
rules are such that negative vote is
likely to carry motion. If it receives
three affirmative votes and none in
the negative, it fails of action for lack
OF a quorum voting. But II it receives
three affirmative votes and one mega
tive, it is carried.
There is room for difference of opin-
ION as to whether the Lyceilm plan
Is good one or not. But, it has been
adopted for this season, and it ought

capped. The contracts with the speak,
ers were made soon after youp@ June

TOO, for that matter-to keep them on
the list unless they fail to make,
good Besides, from the available
speakers, it would be impossible to
choose a better list,
The Lyceum Department has secur-
ed synopses of lectures from most of
the speakers, to be submitted to the
others for mutual criticism and sug-
gestion. They are working together
admirably and bid fair to develop an
excellent series of lectures. These
ssynopses can be submitted to you also
for criticism and suggestion. This
would be far better than to throw
things into chaos.
At best, it is difficult to secure lee
lure course contracts from the locals
n the midst of a campaign. It would
be still more difficult If it were made
impossible to inform them Who the
ecturers are to be- Some of those
Which have already sent in their con
