Southern Representation and Decide
Proposal for Direct Primary EIec-
tion of Delegates.


Washington, Feb. 20.-It will not be
surprising if some statement of an au-
thoritative character regarding plans
for a Republican national convention
this year Is made before the end of
surface comforting Is going on among
the leaders oil both Republican fac
lions. There are indications that the
scheme has reached a stage where 1t
has been practically decided to have
the national committee called In ex-
~traordinary session here early in the
spring.
II a national convention is called to
meet In Chicago or some other Middle
Western city during the summer or
fall two subjects, aside from any plat
form that may be drawn, will have
special attention. These are:
Frst-Curtailment of Southern rep
resentation, to take effect in 1916,
whom the next presidential ticket Is to
be nominated.
Direct Delegate Primaries.
Second-The proposition of provid-
ing for uniformity In the election OF
national delegates through the agency
Of direct primaries in all the states.
II Is possible. In fact probable, that
the national committee prior to issu-
ing a call for the convention will take
action designed to obviate the unfor-
tunate conflicts between state CONVEX
tons and primaries that we're features
OF the last p~re-convention campaign.
As now viewed the recent agreement
regarding a Legislative plan entered
into between the Republican senators
was nothing more than a preliminary
TO the reorganization plan. Although
the chance for action at this session
on the Progressive measures proposed
by Senator La Toilette and adopted
by the Republicans as a whole is slim
the agreement on the program has
done much to bring about a better
Feeling between the factions.

A Statement by Sims.

statements which 1 have just approx

House. causing 1t to vote otherwise
than 1t would, by false statements,
ought to be expelled. and that denun-
citation Of individuals by members on
the floor who cannot be called to ac-
count for IL Is not
a manifestation of great moral or
physical courage.
In giving, next, a short history Of
the bill, he makes the inaccurate
statement that. I added $4,000 to the
option price to cover any expenses
that might be incurred in connection

IL was not necessary for the Appro-

I have always given full credit to the

WHY CHRISTMAS MONEY GOES
ABROAD,

There is some food for reflection
in the statement of money orders sent
to the folks at home by the foreign
born citizens of this country. From
New York City alone over $7,775,O0O
was sent to people across the seas to
every country of Europe. This, by the
way, was over $1,OOO,OOO more than
last year.
And if seven millions of dollars
was sent from New York, it is per-
haps fair to approximate that at least
10 times that sum was sent from the
rest of the United States.
This money was sent by men and
women who came to the United States
to better their condition; to earn
larger wages; to have political and
industrial freedom, and to be able to
make name for themselves and a
home for their families, and, in gen
eral, to rise in the world above their
old condition.
And there are many men in this
country, including various statesmen
in Washington, who would have US
copy the methods of running business
which are in vogue in Europe. They
want the government to take over
and run things as it does in Germany,
or France, or Italy, or Great Britain.
But we can readily see how deadly
this practice is to the average man
when we find that so many of them
who have ambitions or aspirations to
gain better living than was possible
in their own country are coming to
the United States. That they are
coming here and making money is
evidenced by the fact that at Christ
mas time they are sending back $780,
100000 or more to their less FORUM
ate relatives in the old world.-Colo-

Eastern papers continue to make
fun of the price of eggs. A late is
sue of the Record-Herald advises its

husband and wife have just received

think they only sent the donnor a

yer labor gathering the Pueblo Star
Journal, Democratic, says: ITO the
credit of the delegations from Pueblo,
Denver and Colorado Springs it should
be said that they refused to be led
into the unwarranted and impossible
blunders demanded by the radical
element headed by Mother" Jones,
and none of the delegates from those
cities, representing the crafts under
legal contracts with their employers,
joined in the demonstration this morn
ing when Mother" Jones led the
march on the state capitol. In fact
it is the opinion of hundreds of con-
servative union men, representing
crafts under contract with their EN-
ployers, that the methods of the dele
cations representing the United Mine

called for five designations of school

he has so far refused to do so. Mrs

Denver is to the front with a gamp-
ling scandal Evidence has been placed
in the district attorneys hands re-
vealing 20 protected joints which were
paying tribute from s25 to $25o per
week. The exposure came through
the failure of some Greek gamblers
to come through with 500 demanded
the Greeks refusing to give more than
$50 which was accepted. Judging by
newspaper reports the police ana
"hipher-ups" will be implicated. Does
seem that this is an age of graft and
officials are willing to take chanees
when they know that sooner or later
exposure will follow, but the desire to
obtain money dishonesty is so great
that everything else is lost sight OIL
Whenever there is secret gambling
joints operating you may count on II
that some one is getting a rake-oii'
In this respect open gambling seems
best at times--at least it prevents
much grating.

Governor Ammons is a man who is
not going to be SCARED and take back
water. At the same time it is quite
evident that Governor Shafroth and
his administration paved the way for
the strike and it's too bad the present
governor did not investigate if the
laws of the state were being enforced.
1t is quite evident the coal mining
laws were not. True, Governor Am
mons undoubtedly relied on Secretary
Pearce and his labor commissioner,
Mr.. Brake, looking after this part,
their sworn duty, but Brake and his
men were too busy boosting Shafroth
into the United States senate and thus
Governor Ammons inherited condi-
ton of affairs that he would not toll
crate had he been truthfully informed.
In the first place we believe it is the
duty of our head officials to exert
every effort to avoid labor troubles.
The governor should have the right to
appoint an investigating committee to
go into all the details before strike
is called, strike that affects the
peace and quiet of the state. If a
matter of living wage then the in
crease should be granted along with
the enforcement of every law on the
statute book. If necessary let the
price of coal be raised-it will fall
alike on the rich and the poor. There
are some industries that cannot stand
raise over a certain point because
the products cannot be raised in price
for instance in the line of precious
metals, but in coal mining it is diff
ferent. Again, coal mining consti-
tutes hazardous employment and is
worth more money. The Herald is
with the governor and all other of
ficials in the protection Of life and
property, but we do believe if proper
methods had been pursued the disas-
trous strike would not have taken
place.

1t is to be hoped that no two men
will ever be permitted to defeat the
wishes and convictions of majority
of the American people like Taft and
Roosevelt did year ago. The great
mass of Republicans were against
Taft from the start, but he was forced
ON the voters by the leaders and of
flee holders. Individually, we are
glad that the men responsible for the
defeat are being compelled to give
way to Democrats, but we regret to
see a great party going by the board
for the qualification of few leaders
who sought to show their power, do
ing so at the expense of defeat, at
the polls.
