Colorado is the safest place in
which to engage in business, or any
section Of the United States, ac-
cording to statement now being
sent out to the east by the Denver
& Rio Grande Railroad company.
There have been so few business
failures here within the past sew
eral years that the figures showing
comparisons between Colorado ana
other states bring JOY to the heart
of the business man who is depend
ing on Colorado trade for his livell-
hood.
During the year 1911 Colorado
had only 10 business failures
against 1872 in Alabama, 2l0 in Ar
kansas, 632 in California. l6. in
Florida, 173 in Oregon, rs in
Maine 2OI in Kansas, 129 in Mon
taua and 1914 in oklahoma. This
showing has been equally good
every year for the past dozen years.
Other states in the west WIN a
smaller population than Colorado
have more business failures than we
every year. as, for example. Mon
tana and Oregon, and states in the
east that have fewer inhabitants
than Colorado also exceed this state
in the number of business failures.
AS an example of this Maine ana
Florida are comparisons.
This cheerful statement is being
sent into the offices of brokers.
bankers and all persons interested
in the commercial status of Colo
rado. and is intended as conclu-
siye reply to the knocks" that have
beeu sent abroad by those who have
spread malicious reports concerning
this state. 1t is to the interest OF

ment, accompanied by positive data
from reliable credit agencies and
government bureaus sent out by the
Denver and Rio Grande railroad il
intended to be a part of the cam
paign of that company to bring new
settlers and additional capital to
this state.
There has been tendency among
persons in financial circles in the
east to consider Colorado a poor 10
cality in which to invest for the rea-
son that a great many residents OF
the state have given out statements
to the effect that business cOndf-
tions here were dominated by vari-
GUS malign influences and business
failure was the rule rather than the
exception.
According to the showing made
by the commercial agencies and
government reports, and sent out by
the Denver and Rio Grande. the sit
uation in Colorado with respect to
business failures is much better
than any other state in the union
This showing will go long way to-
ward restoring confidence in Colo
rado investments and stimulating
immigration to this state and dis
proving the truth of many knocks"
against Colorado which have been
printed throughout the country.

WELD TO
TRY FOR
ROOSEVELT REPUBLICANS MAX
ING DETERMINED EFFORT TO
FORCE BOSS TO YIELD TO THE
POPULAR CIAAMOR IN COUNTY

Will Big Mac yield to the popular
call presidential primary, or will
he find some way of sidestepping
the issue and thus obey the orders
he gets from Denver on this import
ant feature of the coming election?
This is the question that is agi-
tating the Roosevelt republicans OF
the county who are particularly
keen on the question since Roose-
welt has announced that he will ac-
cept the nomination ii it is rendered
him.
Before it was known if Roosevelt
would run a Roosevelt club was or
ganized in Weld county. A careful
canvass of the situation showed
that the rank and file of the entire
party was for Roosevelt. Two state
committeeman of Weld county had
the nerve to get up and say so in
the big pow WOW of the steam roller
brigade in Denver short time ago.
Now IA presidential primary is being
demanded in Weld county.
The Roosevelt club made the first
effort in this direction and rumor
mas IL tnaU lne Welu county Iepuo-
| lican club, an organization four
years old, which will hold meeting
! the last of the week. will ask for
the same thing. The Weld county
republican club has not expressed
any preference for president yet,
but many members are in favor OF
giving the voters chance to ex-
press themselves.
If this expression ever comes IT
means that Big Mac and his few
standpatters will be lonely little
crowd Hence Big Mac has stalled
most amazingly. Finally he was
cornered and consented to leave the
matter to a committee of six, evenly
divided between progressiVes ana
standpatters. That committee Is
having an awful time getting to-
gether, as they have been appointed
for week and never have found q
time when they could all meet
They hope to find such time al
most any day now.

is on in Weld county in miniature
