Women Of Colorado.
Progress in human affairs con-
sists In matching actual conditions
to an ideal. II We lose sight OF the
ideal. hte spirit Of progress Il dead:
yet no genuine progress is ever made
without practical recognition Of
actual conditions.
Two years ago the progressive
men and women OF Colorado wrote
upon their ballots their protest
against the strangling Of the spirit
Of progress, with the result that the
minority party-the democratic
party-come into power-with re-
suits that have been disastrous to all
our interests.
Today the question that confronts
us is one of actual conditions. quite
different from those Of two years ago.
The evils against which you reg
istered your protest at that time no
longer exist.
The candidates upon the republi-
can ticket are the fair. untrammeled
choice OF the republican voters Of
the state. They are Of high charac-
ter and exceptionally well known to
the state.
They have NO political machines
behind them--no obligation save to
the people who nominated them and
will elect them.
The nomination OF George A. Carl
son for governor represents the tri-
umph of those progressive principles
for which We struggle. and in him
and the other candidates for state
and congressional offices. We have
men Who represent our ideala
!. The eytls g machine politics and
Of hoGs control expelled from repu-
lican circles seem TO have found ref
ues In the progrsssive party Itself.

The progressive. Law abiding. or
der loving men and women are un-
questionably in the majority smonE
the people OF this state. They are
OF varying opinion upon minor mat
ters. but they are agreed upon the
fundamental ideals Of American lib
erty and free government.
The decisive Issue Of the campaign
Is whether this majority shall make
itself effective through united action.
or whether by dividing Ia strength
Il shall again turn the government

shown itself unable TO maintain even
the most elementary conditions Of
peace. order or the protection Of
life and property within our bordsrs.
