REPUBLICAN STATE ASSEMBLY
Harmonious Meeting in Denver Shows
Party United for Campaign to
Redeem Colorado

the state capital this week was the
first really enthusiastic meeting OF
the state campaign. There was no
trimming or fencing for political ad-
vantage plain straightforward
talk from every speaker in favor OF
law and order and upholding consti-
tutional authority, no matter what
party may be in power at the time.
The platform pledges every republic
can candidate this year to stand firm
ly by this principle and on 1t the
campaign to redeem Colorado from
the present state of anarchy will be
waged to a finish.
There were SO many strong and able
men willing to make the race on this
ticket that it was decided to give all
a chance before the primaries SO
there will be numerous candidates for
each position to be filled. Samuel
Nicholson, F. C. Goudy, G. A. Carlson
and A. A. Reed were designated for
governor For senator DR.. Hubert
Work and |. N. Stevens. For su-
preme Judge, the bar candidate, Judge
Campbell received the highest, but
Judges Holbrook and Allen were also
designated. And SO on down the list
of offices. For congressman from this
district five were designated Of whom
Hon. N. N. Mclean was one.
All the law and order state leaders
of the progressive party have quit
Costigan and announced their inten-
ton of taking part in the republican
primaries. Many Of them we're at
the convention and Allison Stocker,
former chairman, received the highest
vote for state treasurer. Attorney
General Farrar, who has taken q firm
stand for law and order although q
democratic state official, received q
large vote for the designation for
attorney general and will 60 on the
ballot unless he refuses to accept.
The resolutions are as follows:
1--WE, the Republicans Of Colorado,
in assembly convened, renew our alleg-
lance to the Republican party and its
principles; and more especially we
declare as follows:
awe 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 state as
treason.
1.-THE Republican party demands the
nomination of such mem 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 circumstances
and for the full protection of life, lib
erty and property.
1--WE favor the adequate protection
of the industries and resources of our
farms, mines and ranges, including
the beet sugar industry and the wat
ers of the state; and we denounce the
senators and representatives from
Colorado who assisted in removing
the tariff on sugar, thereby destroy
ing the greatest manufacturing inter
est in the state and depreciating the
value of our agricultural lands.
1--WE are in favor of legislation
which will encourage the largest pos
sible development Of the dry lands of
Colorado.
1--WE demand fair and impartial
assessment of property for taxation,
to the end that all shall bear their
proper share of government expense.
Eve believe that the same care and
economy should be used in carrying
on the business of the people as in pri-
vate business, and we condem the
Democratic party's wasteful extrav-
agance 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 q surplus in
the treasury of $504,000, while six
years of democracy has resulted in
