ing IN touch with the administra-
the public, but contains much val
liable information for the general
public.
The misrepresentation that ex-
lists among voters over the prohf-
bition issue is positively surpris-
ing. Many are deluded with the
idea that in order to vote dry"
they must mark their ballots for
certain men. This is not the case.
The. wet" and "dry" issue is
separate and distinct from any po-
litical party or candidate. The
proposition upon which you must
vote if you wish to make Colorado
dry is offered as a constitutional
amendment No. 2, apd has no con
nection whatever with any politi-
cal party If this amendment car
ries it will be the duty of Thomas
M. Patterson to enforce the law.
On the other hand, if it loses that
means local option, and it will be
the duty of any other party can
didates to enforce. the law as it
stands if they should happen to be
elected. Rev. Billy Sunday ex-
planned this matter very clearly
in a sermon in Denver just the
other day. He told his audience
that voting for the individual
choice of candidates in no wise
intcrfered with casting a vote for
statewide prohibition. Mr.. Sun
day deserves credit for so clearly
presenting the matter.
If Chas S. Thomas is reelected
to the United States senate he
will support the progressive poll
cies of Woodrow Wilson. DR..
Work, his competitor, is a stand
pat Republican, who from the very
nature of the case will obstruct the
administration in every way pos
sible. Choose you this day"
whom you prefer-Thomas or
Work.-Ordway Call.
Farmers are indebted to the De
mocratic party for the additional
price they will receive for their
beets this year That the adoption
of the state Democratic platform
declaring that the sugar company
could afford to pay more for beets
had a strong direct influence in
causing the increased price is not
doubted by all who are acquainted
with circumstances. ~"
The G. o. p. never threw a
brickbat at government taxation
as long as their party were in
power. The Peabody war debt of
over $2,0O0,000 was saddled onto
the Democratic administration and
while they blew their horn the
loudcst for mobilization of state
troops in the southern coal fields,
they bellyache about the men be-
ing paid. But, then, that is char
acteristic of the G. o. Pail
work and no pay" seems to be
their pet slogan.-Durango Demo
crat.
One of the false prophecies of
the Republican party was that the
removal of the tariff would injure.
the American farmer. There has
not been a time in many years
when the farmer could get more
for the products of his soil and his
toll than right now under free
trade on farm products. Having
proven themselves false in one
thing, the G. o. p. prophets would
do well to keep under cover before
they are convicted of many like
otfenses.
Quite naturally the Republi
can press is centering its attacks
against Edwin V. Brake, Demo
cratic candidate for secretary OF
state. Shrewd Democrats readily
discern the object in mind. The
Republican press wants the pat
ronage this office has to dole out,
and the party bosses want the po-
litical prestige it gives for the
presidential election of 1916. If
the Republican party could only
succeed in defeating Mr.. Brake it
would be satisfied with this cam
paign ii not another man were
elected on the ticket except that
of secretary of state. This would
be victory enough for this cam
paign. and would be powerful
factor in swinging Colorado back
into a Republican column in 1916.
1t is the duty of every Democrat
TO roll up his sleeves and work
for the election Of Mr.. Brake. II
