PLATFORM OF COLORADO RE.
PUBLICANS.

The following is the platform adopt
ed by the Republican assembly in
Denver:
We, the Republicans of Colorado.
in assembly convened, reaftirm our
allegiance to the Republican party.
its principles, policies and candidates.
We heartily approve and adopt the
platform of party principles announc-
ed by the Republican national con
vention at Chicago and indorse the
action of the Colorado delegation at
that convention.
We applaud the patriotism and in
dorse and approve the craftsmanship
and progressive accomplishments of
William Howard Taft as president of
the United States, and we hereby in
struct the electors chosen at this con-
vention to cast their votes for him for
president of the United States.
The Republican party has the in
tegrity, wisdom and courage to meet
all issues and problems in our gov
ernmental affairs and to settle them
properly and wisely in the interest of
the whole people.
The Republican party of Colorado
is now, as it always has been a con-
slituent part OF the Republican party
of the United States as now defined
and recognized by the national plat
form of the Republican party. The
party has always welcomes within it's
ranks the fullest and freest discus
sion of all public questions and by
such freedom of discussion has devei
oped a spirit of progress enabling it
to meet and solve safely for the peo-
pie every question at the proper time.
In this spirit this assembly extends
an invitations to all loyal citizens to
JOIN IN promoting the welfare and ad-
yancemcnt of the people through the
Republican party.
We admonish the voters of Colo
rado that the proper protection of the
industries Of this state can only be
hoped for through the efforts of SEN
ators and representatives in congress-
who believe In protective tariff as

A PREPLEXING QUESTION.

The nomination of Taft at Chicago
and the claim by many Republicans
at that time that Roosevelt should have
been the nominee has resulted in con-
siderable confusion among those who
are the followers of Roosevelt. Roose-
welt carried many of the Mississippi
valley states and the Roosevelt peo-
pie in those states claim that they
are the true Republicans. In those
states in which Taft had najorities
those in favor of the Rough Rider
claim that they no longer desire to
affiliate with the Republican party.
They desire to form new and dis
tinct party and to have no Interests in
common with the Republican party.
Since the Chicago convention The
Rough Rider forces have oeen tr'Eng
- work out this problem ard Il has
been found impossible 10 settle it 10
the Satisfaction of all, for the sim
pie reason that, If new party is
for'nea in every state, many Of those
who ere now in power III .he Repub-
lican party must turn it over TO 9TH
els which they do not care to do.
Roosevelt himself has been unable to
settle the matter for his people. The
question has been the great one Of
the Bull Moose campaign and it is
being considered at their national con-
vent on now in session a. Chicago.
Some half dozen states or more want
To make the fight for Roosevelt with
cut forming a new party, while the
other states desire the tormatio1 of a
third rarity.

GENERAL HOLLISTER TO RETIRE
FROM BUSINESS.

General Hollister, who is well known
both as IA business man and an author,
has resigned as vice president of the
Continental Oil company and will re-
tire from active business life.
For eighteen years General Hol-
lister has been prominently identi-
fled with the company. Through his
business transactions he has accumu-
lated fortune.
Before coming to Colorado he was
connected with the Standard Oil COM
pany.
AT present the general is on Up
per Pine river, partaking of the hos
pitality of the Kirkpatricks. For many
years he and the host have been close
friends. AS soon as Teel-a-wuket is
opened his annual pilgrimage is ex-
pected as a matter of course. Doubt
less his retiring from his active ca
reer will mean that his stays will be
of longer duration.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS NOT EF-
FECTED.

There is general feeling through
out the state that the fact that we
are now in the midst of presidential
campaign has but little to do with the
business conditions of this state. This
is as it should be and it is to be hoped
that the time will soon come when
the presidential year in this country
will be just as lively as any other
year. In travelling over Colorado one
hears the remark that this year
even better than last year. For this
reason people are inclined to believe
that our people are paying but little
attention to the old cry of hard times
because it is presidential year. 1t
is certainly time that this old farce
be discarded. The time has passed in
this country when many people be-
lieve tnat if this or that person
not elected the country will go to the
dogs. 1t is ever true that the success
of a party may have much to do
with the condition of the times. The
tariff question has been the one great
question that has scared the people
but many are coming to believe that
no matter what the demagogues NAV
say in the campaign the people will
soon right any mistake that may be
made. A party may by some act
hurt the country temporarily but the
people will soon correct the mistake
by making the necessary changes so
far as business is concerned.
