VIVA, They Think Of Senator Napier

Deufei. oepl. 81, iVIS.~i1oh' LIZ H.
Napier, Glenwood Springs, Colo. My
Dear Senator Napier: l have noted
with satisfaction that you have been
selected by your Democratic constit-
uency to succeed yourself in the up
per house OF the general assembly,
and l trust that you will be elected
by an increased majority.
Since the adjournment of the last
session of the legislature l have have
had occasion to examine the record
OF the proceedings OF the last three
sessions. This record disclose that
your attitude relating to the so-called
platform measures Of the plat
platform of 1903 il good one.
am glad to have the opportunity to
make this statement, especially as
my original impressions upon the
subject did you some injustice. You
deserve the commentator of the
Democracy and should receive the
Endorsement of your constituency.
There never WAS u time in our his
tory when it was more necessary that
Democrats should give unfailing and
undivided support to their legislative
tickets. Gov. Wilson will be elected
president, and his administration will
succeed or fail precisely as the COM
pleXion of the national congress shall
be. Unless both houses are Demo-
cratic he cannot carry into effect the
great work of Democratic regenera-
ton. The. upper house in all prOba-
bility will not be Democratic unless
the Colorado legislature is Dem
ocratic, thus insuring election of our
party nominees for the senate. Ii we
should lose either of them the result
might be disastrous to the coming
administration, and therefore the
country at large. Every personal
consideration, should therefore be
lost sight of in the face of this tre-
mendous responsibility. You may
rest assured that not only welcome
your nomination, but will earnestly
insist that every Democrat in your
district shall this year vote for and
support the legislative ticket with
the same earnestness and conviction
that he exercises ia behalf of the
national ticket.
Wishing you every success, l am
very sincerely yours.
G. s. THOMAS.
