The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1914-08-06
Republican State Assembly

harmonious. free from dominating in
Auence. enthusiastic and perfectly fair
State Convention than that held by the
Republicans in Denver on last Tuesday
Charles A. Ballreich of Pueblo made
an ideal Chairman, treating everybody
and every proposition with fairness
and at the same time dispatching the
business of the Assembly in digni-
fed and rapid manner. The Chair
mans address was one of the many
splendid addresses delivered and the
keynote of all of them was that peace
and order must be restored to Colora-
do regardless of Capital and Labor
We copy herewith part of the Chair
mans speech:
with less than two years of ma
tional Democracy, we have Democratic
palsy creeping throughout the land.
Amid the unsurpassed plenty of crops
factories are closed, railroads are wait
ing for the receiver. credit is impaired
and the cost of living higher than ever
before
After all. it may be good thing
for the people to endure four lean
Democratic years In every twenty, as
it may prepare them to enjoy better.
and appreciate more fully, Republican
prosperity. Some one has said that the
Republican party is dead. So the fool
in his heart said there is no God
Peace Mast Prevail
"This Assembly must go on record
against both capital and labor in their
attempt to settle their differences by
the resort to arms. No man, NO set Of
men, no organization, no company. no
corporaaioa has the right to tabs up
arms IN the aAJuStmeat 81 ! bxsiness
or Industrial dispute. Peace must pre-
vail, and it is the business Of the gov
ernment of the state TO see that peace
does prevail
A resolution committee consisting of
one member from each county In the
State was appointed who drafted the
following resolutions which were un-
animously adopted by the Assembly:
1--WE, the Republicans of Colorado.
in assembly convened, renew our alle-
glance to the Republican party and its
principles, and more especially we de-
clare as follows:
We fully recognize and uphold the
right of wage workers to organize and
unionize for their mutual protection
and betterment, and to use every fair
reasonable and lawful means to &C.
complish these ends, but we condemn
those who have resorted to arms and
physical force in an effort to compel
compliance with their demands, and
brand their resistance to the consti
tuted authorities Of this stae as treas
on.
The Republican Party demands the
nomination of such men for office as
are consistently in favor of the en-
forcement of the law and the main
tenance of order, and who have the
courage to stand for law and order
at all times and under all circum-
stances and for the full protection of
life, liberty and property.
We favor the adequate protection Of
the in dustries and resources of our
farms, mines and ranges. including the
beet sugar industry and the waters Of
the state. and we denounce the sena-
tors and representatives from Colo
RADIO who assisted in removing the tar
in on sugar. thereby destroying the
greatest manufacturing interest in
the state and depreciating the value
of our agricultural lands.
We are in favor of legislation which
will encourage the largest possible de-
velopment of the dry lands of Colora-
do.
We demand fair and impartial as
sessment Of property, for taxation. to
the end that all shall bear their pro-
per share of the governmental expen-
seS
We believe that the same care and
economy should be used in carrying
on the business of the people as in
private business and We condemn the
Democratic Party's wasteful extrava-
Kance in the conduct of the States
affairs and the creation of expensive
and useless boards and offices for the
purpose of furnishing jobs for politi-
cal workers. The last Republican state
administration left surplus in the
treasury of $504,00O, while six years
Of Democracy has resulted In large
deficit and an impaired state credit,
and we pledge our candidates to the
Utmost economy in the management Of
