the same rotten evidence-the
assertion of the charge, as the
owners ship ma ster; and it would
be the same Sscri!ege (pear. be-
fore swine) to put up evidence
for the gang in the one citse as
in the other.
For the benefit of others, how
ever, we will make the simple
statement that OF the four re.
publicans The editor bought out,
nou one of them ever knows one
single line or word in the Her.
aid until he reads the paper af-
ter it is published, and not one
of them has ever assumed to say
a word about the papers
editorial policy.
In the Eugene Whitaker mat
ter, the department never re.
quested him to give the printing
to the Democrat. 1t simply ad-
vised him of the Endorsement of
the Democrat by the committee
and suggested that lie give the
matter consideration.
And he gave the matter con-
sideration, and advised the de
partment that The Springfield
part of the federal printing was
going to Il democratic paper, and
both the department ard our
Colorado delegation were per-
fec.ly satisfied.
What the Democrat probably
means is that the combine re
quested Whitaker to give The
Democrat the federal printing.
They also requested tile state to
give them the state printing
but the combine isn't getting
every thing it asks for.
1t is evident on it's face that
if the Herald is controlled by
Whitaker because he gives to it
federal printing, then it j.
also controlled by the Depart
ment of the Interior and by our
Colorado delegation because
they permit him to do so, as by
the Interior department. he could
be fired on n moments notice
for disobedience of orders.
On Llie same line of insur-
mountabie logic, if tile Herald
is controlled by Whitaker be-
cause he gives to it the federal
printing, it is controlled also by
the officials of the state of Cole
RADIO for giving to it tie state
printing.
Again, by the same line of log
ic, if the Herald is controlled by
Whitaker for the reasons given,
then the Lamar Sparks is ano'h-
er mugwump sheet under the
blighting control and influence
of that con ia minatOr of newspa-
per morals.
With regard to the republic
cans being too friendly to the
editor of this papcr-that man
is in the wrong place who can't
edit a democratic paper and
have republican friends, or a
republican paper and have dem
ocratic friends.
Among republican friends the
editor hasn't any better than
R. A. Campbell, but as he knows
and everybody else knows, the
Herald isn't going to leave one
stone unturned for the election
of Judge Allen along the line of
fair means: and if we thought
Judge Campbell would be piqued
at this, we wouldn't consider
him worthy eithe, of friendship
or to run for office.
But 5he friendship racket is
the same as the ownership rack
ct and the republican control
racket; and in either case you
scratch the surface of the man
putting up the racket and you
will find the Tartar Of the Tam
many combine.
The covert intimation of the
Democrat that the com bine has
the democrats of the county un-
der its big thumb and lined up
to do its bidding, hasn't been
borne : ut by such tests as have
been afforded.
We believe that the vote on

field to Washington.


The second is the intilnation
that the editor of the Herald is
not q Notwithstanding case
of gall, impudence and abomin-
able rot! To this indictment al.
we have in refutltion is the fact
that we have at times during
the last thirty years published
democratic papers in republican
states, and lave voted for every
democratic candidate for presi.
dent since Observation-Disclosures
we had a vote to cast. (There
will be a second chapter to this
later on when we will be per-
mitted to quote our authority.
The third expose" Charge is
that the Herald is controlled by
fiv. republicans. on which in
tima,ion hinges the sequel to the
low, despicable and contempta-
Bile means used by the combine
to undermine and discredit the
Herald and it's editor, at the
time OF the combines formation.
Certain numbers of the CON-
bine visited the committee men
and women. prevailed upon them
to believe in substance The rot
contained in the above charges
ard thus secured their names to
the first now notorious end"
orsement of the now famous Of
ticials' sheet.
That was the first low and
treacherou move of the COM
bine. The second was of like
kind, made for the purpose of
getting on an average Of half a
dozen in each of five precincts
out of ten to send combine dele
gates TO the county assembly.
The combine did get control
of the old committee and it did
get control of the old assem- bly,
i'm which twenty y-tive deleg ties
we're present. did il by the exact
foul means that is now being
used ny the Democrat in it's
primeval" expose"
The rehashing of this stale rot
thoroughly threshed olt and
settled mare than a year ago
certainly gives Ii luminous hale
about the classic features of the
man who is doing the reha shing
for its novelty if for nothing
more.
In the ownership matter we
are well aware of the fact that
while you may bring water to a
horse you can't make him drink,
and that presenting irrefutable
evidence of the fact of owner
slip to those who don't want to
believe would be as thankfully
received by them as the broverb-
ial pearl that was cast before
swine.
There isn't a single one of the
combine but that knows that the
Herald was sold OUT light to the
editor knew it at the time
the sale was made.
How did they know it:
One of their number who has
since joined themin an attempt
ed assassination of his own broth
er, as clerk Of the county placed
on record in his Office, first, the
deed to the Herald property;
second, the bill OF sale: AID third,
the mortgage on the editors
farm, as security for the pay
meut of the money.
All this was threshed out at
the time. and has been threshed
out since. and yet the Democrat
in the desperation of its editor
to have something to say, thinks
to make capital at this. late day
by rehashipg by the way of in
sinuation, the stale old mo sale"
charge.
The direct charge of repubii
can control of the Herald is
backed by such powerful argu-
mentas the paid-for-by-the- yard
editor of the Democrat is capa-

"A new RESIDENT TELLS
HOW WE CAN ALL HELP
TO BUILD UP THE TOWN

Mr.. Guy U. Hardy.
Editor Daily Record.
Dear Sir: Now that the new year Is
drawing near and we all expect to
make new resolutions for the coming
year. would like to make few sug-
eestlons from my viewpoint
Bob Ingersoll wrote about the mis-
takes OF Moses. Now. would like to
write about some of the mistakes Of
Canon.
In the first place. we make a great
mistake by running down our town
and its people
think from what have heard
from people that were dissatisfied and
left here. but have returned again.
that we have as prosperous a little
city for its size as you will find any
where.
And another mistake IS discourage
ing new eomers. as know a good
many do. not from my own expert
enee alone, but by what others who
were prospective buyers have told me.
think We should be loyal TO our
town. It's people and its Industries.
and give all newcomers the siad hand
and our support in whatever they may
engage In hs far as possible. Espe-
olally those who come and buy homes
and help 10 bear the burdens ms well
rs TO enjoy the protection OF our law
abiding. Christian community. I have
In mind two professional men who
came here with their families and
SLOWED their good faith by buying
bones and tried TO make an honest
living. but are they here now No.
Ard their homes. ! think. arc stand
ing vacant Why. Because We. as the
people. did not give them our sup
port In their profession. but gave u
TO mere suuatiers xho will not in
vest one dollar more than they can
help In our town. while we are help
ing to swell their bank account which
they Will probably invest somewhere
else.
They are perfectly willing to enjoy
all we have to offer. but ask them TO
invest In home and they will tell
you they do not want TO buy anything
here. And again. have known peo-
pie to 20 to Pueblo and pay their fare
Just to get one garment little cheap
er than they could get II OF our home
merchants. Is that the way TO build ups
our town and community II we could
cniy realize that when we are help
ing others we are working for our
own interest. then I think that we
would do unto others as we would
have others do unto Us.
Now. we all have our faults and
shortcomings. but let's resolve to lay
aside our little grouches and all pull
together for the good of our town
and county and live up to the golden
rule. and think that by the end OF
another year we will see great re-
suits and fewer knockers.
Here's hoping our loyal and helpful
paper. The Record. and all oar town.
and community happy and prosper
