PRESIDENT WILSON'S
POLICIES.

There is "A growing sentiment
all over the United States among
Democrats, Progressivcs and Re
publicans alike, to give the Presi-
dent and his policies fair test.
In order that this may be done
we must elect congressman and
u. S. senators who are in sympa.
thy with the president If YOU
want TO see these policies carried
out and the laws which have Just
been passed made effective, vote
for Chas. 5. Thomas for L. $. sen
ator and Edward Keating for con
gress. Both have carried out the
wishes of thcir constituency and
are heartily in sympathy with
President Wilson.

Tuesday Of Next
Week Election Day

Tuesday Of next week is election
day. The candidates have made a
hard fight on all sides and are now
in the watchful waiting class,
and will be glad to know the worst.
OF course every one is certain of
his own success and is only sorry
for his comrade, who has fought
by his side so valliently. Poor
old pal, if he only knew what they
have been saying about him. They
say I'm all right but they don t
think it does me any good to be
seen around with him" And so
it goes, each one is made to believe
he is the only man for the place.
But, alas What a sad awakening
is in store for someone. There is
only one office and three people
are after it. Unfortunately only
one can get it. On the eve of the
battle of the ballots there is a
strong possibility that the COM
pleXion of the next state and coun-
ty ticket will be overwhelmingly
Democratic. If so the interests Of
the people will be in good hands,

Patterson, Kenehan
and Shafroth Here

Arrangements are being made
for grand Democratic rally in
Arvada, Saturday evening, Oct.
31st, which should be attended
by all voters, because of the
Speakers. Sen. T. M. Patterson
is promised, also Kenehan and
Sen. Shafroth. This will be a
good opportunity for the dry vo-
ters to get an expression from
Mr.. Patterson on this question.
Mr.. Costigan is also scheduled
to speak from an automobile on
the street at Z o'clock sharp, so
there'll be a hot time in the Old
town Saturday night.

A Final Plea For
Our Candidates

Now that this is the last oppor-
tuuity for the Enterprise to reach
its readers before the election we
desire to make n final plea for the
support of the entire Democratic
ticket The Democratic party has
never had n fair chance until with.
IN the last two years to demon
Stratc its policies and their effect
upon the nation. Everyone ia
agreed that better times were in
store for us just as the European
war burst upon us as n thunder
bolt from a clear sky. However,
everyone must admit that the Viii.
son administration has arisen to
the emergency and handled the
situation most satisfactory and
safely. So much for the national
administration, there have been
criticisms heaped upon our COVER.

out equivocation, but when the
coal barons were approached they
deliberated, and instead of teleg-
raphing their acceptance, they
wrote Il letter saying that their re
preventative would call on the
president, hoping Of course, to bul!
doze him into changing the plal
to suit them. However, Presidel
Wilson is not controlled by the III
terests and he gave them a respect
full hearing, but refused to comply.
AS result the strike is still un-
settled and the coal consumer will
suffer this winter in paying for
this election in coal and oil bills,
and will be told that there is Il
scarcity Of the supply because Of
the labor troubles.
Now, Mr.. Voter, you know the
Enterprise is stating the facts and
what are you going to do about it 7
You want the state to 90 dry but
you also want peace and prosper
ity. Show your loyalty to Presi-
dent Wilson, who is trying every
way to better your condition, by
voting for the men that stand for
the principles that he stands for.
Look at the grand ovation given
the president S representative, Mr..
Bryan, the other day at the audi
torium; 10000 people cheered him
to the echo when he recommended
the election Of Thomas to the SEN
ate and Patterson and the entire
Democratic ticket in Colorado.
Mr.. Patterson is making the same
pledge that Mr.. Carlson is making,
viz. to enforce the law. If the
amendment carries, the laws con
forming to the dry amendment

Watch Out for
The Amendments

Judge Tully Scott of the Su-
preme court has publicly discuss
ed two amendment propositions
which will appear upon the ballots,
as follows
"There will be found upon the
ballot two propositions of the pub
lie utilities bill. One of these ap-
pearing ON the ballot as No. 9 re
fers to Sections 36 and 81. The
other, No. l3, refers to Sections
35, 36 and 81 1t will be noticed
that Sections 36 and 81 are thus
twice referred. This was done to
confuse the voters, so that il one
only should be lost and the other

and the farmer, the laborer, the
people in the ordinary walks Of
life will be recognized us having
equal rights with the capitalist,
the mine owner and the aristocrat
On the other hand if the Republi-
can party should succeed in elect
ing their ticket, the corporations
will revcl in the protection thrown
around them by their hirelings in
office, and the farmer and the
workingman will pay tribute to
the Caesar of political bossism and
capitalistic opulence.
While the c. +. L. l. and Gug-
gcnheim interests are backing
Carlson, ostensibly because he is a
dry candidate, don t forget that
they have other interests that far
ovcrshadow the "dry' PROPOSE
ton, and the people who labor and
tie people who consume the pro.
duets of labor will know what
those interests are before many
moons. President Wilson offered
the coal operators plan which
would have made it possible for
them to have operated their mines

everyone concerned, and was ac-

held up on the courts, and at least
delayed if not defeated. We must
remember that if the people at
the polls turn down these sections
your Legislature, which gave them
to the people, will feel justified in
refusing to re-enact them, because
the members Of the assembly can
justly say that the people have re
pudiated their acts. want to
