Local Denver, representing about 300
members, has Initiated the following
state membership referendum:
That a state convention be called to
meet in Denver on Thursday, July 4th,
1912, for the adoption of platform and
the naming of candidates for the various
state Offices to be filled at the next state
election, such platform and candidates
being subject to the referendum; and,
further, we recommend and move that
special assessment of 25 cents be levied
on all party members to defray the ex-
penses of outside delegates to the con-
vention.
(First published April III
The Fourth ward branch of Denver,
representing 20 members, has initiated
an amendment to Sec. 8, Art. vi of the
party constitution, so as to make it read
as follows:
Either a suspended or dropped men,
ber may be reinstated upon payment of
back dues to date. or may come in as
a new member"
CFirst published April 25.)
The proposed amendment from Fourth
ward is what one of the delegates to the
last state convention proposed and said
that his organization never suspends or
drops anyone IL ne was once MEMBER
He said that one man paid $15.75 back
dues at one time, so it put him on clean
record back for over five years. 1t will
also give anyone an opportunity that he
does not now enjoy. If he were a mem
ber three years ago, even If he had paid
for only a month, he could not pay up
his three years arrearage and that
would make him eligible to any party
position which requires three years mem
bership. 1t would not help the continu-
GUS active members, but the wire pull
ers in politics would use 1t when needed.
But the propose amendment by the
| membership referendum now out will
provide the means whereby we will have
no excuse for a member to drop out
unless he wants to. This subject will
be proposed at the national convention
this year to try to make it uniform
throughout the nation.

You have read of the McCurtain mine

explosions. The mine inspector. Boyle,

IN DEMOCRATIC SUNSHINE.

Right az the threshold Of a National
political campaign says the Pittsburg
Post, the country facesegfeater pros
perity than II has experienced for
years. This is significant because it
Is unusual. Heretofore the business
interests have been content TO wait for
developments, to see what the political
parties intended TO do. and 10 be in a
position TO adjust themselves to any
changes that might be considered
necessary in the event Of tariff
changes. There was always a false
grounded fear that by some accident
Of chance the Democratic might come
into control of the Government, and
then II would be necessary for busI-
ness to protest itself; capital would
curtail its Investments; manufactur-
ers would lay OF men, and the down
bearing hand of stringency would be
felt in the land.
Fortunately. however. these condi-
tons have changed Business inter
ests that used to play politics for effect
realize that there Is no longer any
potency in the assumption of that at
titude; those who feared "monkeying
with the tariff" are no longer alarmed,
even though all the signs point to
Democratic success. Under the old
policy such a thought would not be
tolerated until 1t was certain there
would be no change in conditions.
There would ne a desire to wait until
the votes had been counted, so that &C
ton could be taken accordingly. But
not so today. There is a disposition
to welcome change in the tariff
rather than to fear it. business is be-
ginning to see and to fcei the burden
imposed upon it by a system that bene-
fits few favored ones.
There is something that is decidedly
encouraging in this condition of af-
fairs. 1t means a great deal for the
people. for no matter what the result
of the election. prosperity will be as
sured, and more SO il the Democracy
wins. There is a growing belief that
we are entering upon au era of ire
mendous business activity, which will
tend to stimulate production generally
and result in a lessenins of the bur
densome cost of living.
