billions Announcement
To the Democracy of Colorado:

To the Democracy of Colorado
In responce to requests recent
ly made by number of my
friends, take this opportunity Of
announcing my candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for tn,
office of Secretary of State.
have resided in the state of Col
orado for thirty-seven years
having come to this state in 1871
from my native state of Kentuck.
v, From the time cast my
first vote | have been associated
with the Democratic party, hav
ing spent thirteen years in act
i've work in connection with the
State Democratic Committee as
Assistant Secretary. l have al
ways worked for the benefit OF
the Democratic party and fol the
benefit of the candidates nomi-
mated by the party, and have not
heretofore called upon the voters
of this State to vote for me for
any Office.
For the past five years l have
been Deputy Secretary of State
In that position l have naturally
become familiar with the duties
of the office to which | aspire. L
think 1 can claim with some
pride that 1 have been largely
instrumental in placing the office
of the Secretary of State upon a
thoroughly business like basis
without attempting to detract
nything from the credit which
belongs TO the Secretary of State
Mr.. Pearce. l am sure that he
will agree that l have devoted
myself entirely to this end dur
ing the time that / have been his
Deputy. have proceeded all
the time upon the theory that
this Office should give prompt,
adequate and efficient service to
the public just as though it were
a private enterprise seeking the
good will of it's patrons, and l
have worked with this in view
without days vacation during
the past five years. The present
Secretary of State, Mr.. Pearce,
while properly remaining neu-
tral owing to the fact that two of
his subordinates are candidates;
will testify to the correctness of
what l have just said.
II elected to the Office | prom
ise the people the continued bus
mess like administration of the
Office that l have assisted in Civ
ing in the past. This is prima-
rily my platform. Insofar, how
ever, as the duties of the office :;
relate to governmental matters,
I think it should at all times aid
the constituted authorities in the
strict and impartial enforcement
of the law of the State, and if Ell
lected I pledge my support to
this end.
Respectfully,
Thos. F. Dillon, Jr.

been on trial in the United States

The Jurors brought in their verdict

important announcement Of his poll
icy next week, and it is understood
that bills embcGyTng his ideas will
be presented .or legislation as rap
idly as may seem prudent. The idea
that this legislation shall include a
Government bureau of information
which shall aid manufacturers in
interpre :hc Sherman law is
well received in business circles.
Manufacturers and others under
such 4 bureau would be able to Sc
cure an authoritative opinion as to
whether they were obeying the law
or not. This would relieve much Of
the existing uncertainty in business
which has for months past tended
to paralyze initiative
There is another factor in the an
ti-trust situation which is favor
able; and that is the almost unlver-
sal disposition among business lead
ers amounting to in many cases q
positive anxiety to obey the law.
This disposition has been tremen-
donsly increased by the friendly at
tiJude toward business shown by
the administration, and the present
Attorney General also, who wears
the velvet glove i'm preference to
welding the big stick. In all direc-
ticns business LEADERS are making
sincere efforts 10 comply with the
law, and thus will gradually disap-
pear The wcalisome friction between
big business and the government,
which has Uccn the basis Of so much
popular hostility to large corpora
tions. The policy of Capitalization
which began with the creation Of
the Sugar Trust mote than twenty
five years ago came to an end with
the Standard Oil and American To-
bacco decisions of 1911. That was
the turning point against the
monopoly movement, and since then
the process Of decentralization has
been steadily growing. 1t is now
under full swing. While this ter
dency nay cause temporary uncer.
tainties, and while dissolution re
quiremcuts may often prove harsh
and difficult to meet. this change
in business policy will in the long
run have important and beneficial
results from both the political and

1t is tho good will of our en-

The distribution OF part of the
