The word Free has a fascinating
sound, but when applied to sugar as a
campaign issue 1t means not only ruin
alton to one of Colorado's rapidly grow
ing industries but higher price for
this commodity than ever before paid.
When the only competition to the sug-
ar trust is wiped out the trust will fix
its own price for sugar. and 1t won't be
lowered.
