La Junta tribune., 1914-10-31

Democrats on the so-ealled Democratic
ticket. Perhaps my Dsmoesaey h ~
psrannustsd east my hrst vote for
Samuel }. TiIdsa fee presidsnt Ny
political sehooling was Ia ths days Of
Alien G. Thurman, Of Ohio. and Thos
A. Hendricks. Of Indiaas. Compare
these men With our Colorado type!
The foundation tenet Of my Demoe-
rsey 10 the absoluts sovsrsignty Of ths
state. Without that. there IL no Dem
ocrsey to me. And any man vho doss
NOT square with that test u no Demo
erst. The Dsmoeratie party is built On
that rock. And IN Tie present political
campaign in COLORADO you cannot belog
the issue. The people will none Of It.
Republican orators may preach the
beauties Of their favorite theory Of
protection: Democratic speakers may
attempt to crowd under the mantle Of
the Wilson administration in vain
the people are not fools. There 10. there
can be but one issue: The RESTORATION
or THE SOVEREIGNTY or THE STATE or
COLORADO,
The late Democratic assembly in
Denver was usurped by the United
Mine Workers and their friends. There
were genuine Democratic in that A.
sembly. They attempted 10 insert in
the platform sentiments Of true DEM
oersev. and were hissed down. Among
the nominees Of that assembly were
Chas. s. Thomas for U. s. senate. 7.
n. Patterson for governor. Roady Ken
chan for treasurer and E. v. Brake for
auditor Of state.
All these msn are old hy-blown poll
tieians: all hail from Denver. that hot.
bed Of political intrigue and corruption,
which has disgraeed The state for years;
and. taken by and large. comprise ~
motley . crew - ever threatened the
ship Of state.
Il il not necessary TO discuss here
hardly to alluds to-the occurrences Of
the past year Ia Colorado. how the an.
archists. under the name Of the United
Mine Workers. have torn the state to
pieces. The memory Of Ludlow ID
