Perhaps no ADLER criticism Of his
venerable opponent could have been
uttered than was spoken by Mr.. Carl

trouble record OF Mr.. Patterson that

Carlson described at length the
conditions existing in Colorado as the
result OF the mistakes OF the Demo-
cratic administration in which the
dominating force was Patterson. He
said that only in three places in the
world were federal troops In charge
in the Philippine islands, Mexico and
Colorado.
The initial address in Las Animas
county OF that able man scored. His
ovation demonstrated that the people
are with him and when in conclusion.
as the band struck up a patriotic tune
he stood receiving the handshakes of
hundreds OF men and women lie ac-
knowledged the greeting with mod
est grace that won the hearts OF all.
The first speaker was DR.. Hubert
Work, who though not an orator.
spoke plainly. He discussed chiefly
the national question Of protection.
outlining his policy In relation to
Colorado's needs.
I'VE have not yet felt the injurious
effects of those politicies to a great
extent because of the Intervention of
war. for wars act precisely on the
price OF foodstuffs as protective tar
If does. although the injurious eff
fects OF the Underwood tariff meas
ure are already in evidence In both
the Atlantic and Pacific coast states.
Factories on the Atlantic coast are al
ready closing or running on reduced
time; 225.OOO railroad mencn the
Pennsylvania system have been laid
off recently and soup houses are be-
ing opened in Philadelphia
The senatorial candidate then
turned his attention to the candi-
dates on the state ticket in connect
ing his story and the point which he
wished to emphasize az to the rela-
ton of politics and men In office to
business He referred to each of the
candidates. referred to the localitis
from which they come, cited -nefr
business qualifications and their
good character. and then he contin-
ued as follows:
1.-The fact that one. two or three
candidates selected through the pri-
maries come from Denver is evidence
in itself that the citizens of the state
outside Of the larger cities are alive
to the necessity of representation by
men in touch with their common in
|terests.
For more than quarter OF a
lcentury Colorado has been without
representation in congress by sena-
flor who resided outside the capital
lefty. The distribution OF the candi-
datesover the state suggests that re-
|publicans ut least are alive to the
truth of the statement that politics Is
business.
in addition to the threat to our
Industries. Implied and actually
realized in many instances by free
TRADE policies of the democratic ad-
ministration. Colorado is in sore in
|ternal trouble.
without government legitimate
business has been conducted by men
l to, or IS III
suit of foolish, vicious and injurious
politics. II the political offices OF
this state are to be refilled by the
present inctnnbents, we have no rea-
son to believe that condition will be
changed. II business conditions are
satisfactory to our people they should
iof course lie allowed to continue. On
the other hand, If they are unsatis-
factory, the people have in their own
hands tho remedy for remedying the
existing evils.
| There are but five issues of inter-
est in this campaign. Three of them
are being fought for by the republic
can candidates. Two have formed the
basis Of the democratic platform.
Those espoused by the republicans
are prote ction for what Colorado pro-
duces and conservation Of Colorado's
natural resources for the use of
iCoboradoans. The second issue is law
enforcement SO that Colorado people
may have liberty to mine and manu-
| factureI The third is the demand
that the expenditures of our state Of
ficials for state government and 9TH
err purposes may be reduced to a rea-
sonabLe and necessary sum.
Colorado voters know, that sig
years ago when the democrats came
into power the state had on deposit
in her treasury half million dollars.
