Republican party's claim that the high
cost OF living is not due to protec
tive tariff, and charges that excessive
rriceg result in a large measure from
the high tariff laws, enacted and main

FOR SECRETARY OF STATE
Denver Colo Anp a


My Dear Sir:
You have, no doubt, learned that
am candidate for reelection to the
Office nf Secretary OF State.
Owing to the vast amount of work
which has been given to this Office by
reason of the Constitutional Amend
nents and new Law enacted it will be
impossible for me to make personal
campaign. All of my time, of necns-
sity, must be spent in the Office.
We find that for this year our work
has increased one hundred per cent,
over any previous year; and that we
have two less clerks on the pay roll than
when first taking charge of the Office,
and the Office force must work most
,very night from now until January 1st
Many changes shave been made in
this Department. In fact, the man
ner of running it and the system used
mas been COMPLETELY revolutionized. We
now have an up-to date institution on a
commercial basis where close attention

satisfactory.
have been in charge of this Office
for forty-two months. In comparing MY
torty-two months with the forty-two
months of my immediate predecessors
the records show net increase of sl36
ll005 averaging a monthly increase OF
80, ,259 76. This increase was made
Turing general business stagnation.
There are still many important
changes to be made and it will be neces-
;ary to have the assistance OF the
Nineteenth General Assembly, as the
eighteenth, in trying to collect United
states Senator, overlooked the require
nents Of this department.
The work in this office is composed
If innumerable details. and it takes two
years at least for the Secretary of State
20 acquaint himself with the true stu
ltion. With the experience the present
incumbent has had he feels that he can
tSSouPiioh hOAC III buc uc4L tWo JedTS
by reason OF his familiarity with the
work., than any new man, no matter how
intelligent and well posted, could acc.
'mplish in four years.
What is said relative to the office Of
secretary of State is likewise true Of the
labor Department, the Secretary OF
State being the Labor Commissioner Elk
0fficio.
On taking charge Of this Office the
Labor Department was fiction, now it
is real department which can favor
,bly compared with that Of other States
where special attention has been paid to
abor matters and conditions for many
seais.
| ask for the assistance of my friends in
the Primary and also at the November
Election. II elected, l shall give the
people OF the state the best and most
beneficiary services it has received Of
my State Officer since the state was or
,anized.
Yours very truly,
JAMES B. PEARcE.
