~ don't know" said Mr.. Patterson
when he replied to the query, "who is
right, the miner or operator"
He seemed to think it terrible
thing when the operators refused to
agree to the truce asked and under
conditions named by Mr.. Wilson. Yet
in this connection he failed to mention
the fact that Mr.. Wilson had, a day
or two before, notified the operators
they were free to hire workmen when
and from any section they saw fit.
Until this time Mr.. Wilson had said,
"You must not employ anyone unless
he be citizen Of Colorado, " thus max
ing it impossible for an honest, work
seeking miner with = family to feed
to come into Colorado from another
state and secure work in the coal
mines.

Mr.. Patterson in his talk to the voters.
The question Of statewide prohibi-
tion was handled by the speaker, who
said he had voted for prohibition every
time it had been brought up in his
ward. But he failed to say, "but,
voters, live in . residence district Of
Denver where there is NO danger Of
their attempting to open saloons" No,
he would leave the impression that ~
did it because it vas dear to my heart
and to my friends" But he claimed
that statewide prohibition was not just
tie right thing, and straddled again by
speaking as would = parrot, elf the
state goes dry shall enforce the law. {"
This statement fell flat, for George
Carlson, weeks ago, announced his de-
ternined stand for Law enforcement,
and the lscal voters knew that Nr
hsttersss spoke only sftef Ae had bees
smoked out by that stsuneh defender
Of the right, that ma. who sent C. g.
Shelley to the pen for bridge graft;
George Carlson, the man with the cour-
age Of his convictions and one who
never straddles any question in an eff
fort to gain . few votes.
1t was not the Patterson of ten years
ago who spoke to the local voters; it
was not the Patterson who was paid
hundred thousand dollars in one fee
for legal battle. it was not the Pat
terson who represented this people in
the United States senate, but it was
the Patterson who on that day sail
"My memory is not as good as it used
to be; tits the penalty which comes
with not dying young.'
Too old to attend to his own great
business affairs and forced to sell his
newspapers; too old to attend to his
legal practice, yet he stood before the
voters asking their suffrage to "sus-,
tain the Wilson policies.
Mr.. Patterson made . veiled attempt
to cast discredit and suspicion upon the
head Of Governor Ammons when he
said he did not know why the governor
allowed the troops to be used to pro
tect the operators in their effort to en-
plOy workmen or, as he termed them,
strike breakers. Governor Anmons no
doabt did the very best he could and,
if Mr.. Patterson continues to make
such veiled charges against him, the
stockmen Of this state, who placed
their mark Of approval upon Governor
AAnsns, will hardly feel like casting
their vote for Mr.. Patterson for sov-
ersse.,
In closing, Mr.. Patter.o. devoted
few moments in speaking Of Kenehan.
He said "whatever mistakes be has
made have been Of the head a.d not Of
the heart"
That 8 the trouble. But the mistakes
sf Keaehaas head are known by the
voters Of the state. They fear he
night make sone more Of then, and
tAey do not want then for, whether
tAey Be Of the head or the Heart, they
are tso rank and are not god fer q
stabae gsvernneat such ~ Colombo
loven want.
It may have been overnight bat
Hone Of the county Democratic eaadi-
dates were On the platform with the
spsakess.
