National Model License league of
this city, has just made public a
comparison of various license states
with the state of Kansas in regard
to various moral and economic

by an analysis of the latest OBJ
tainable government records by the
Hon. r. E. Cabbell, expert statis-
tician and former commissioner Of

shows that Colorado is superior to

Brake Called Chief
Advisor of Anarchists

Labor Commissioner de facto, at 4 !,
State House, has been the chief L !
wiser for the anarchistic crew that in
the last five years has ccst Colo
rado SO much bIoodshcd, loss of prop
erty and loss of reputation, and the
heavy burden of taxation with which
to put down rebellion against the
state. He fomented the trouble in
the strike fields in northern and
southern Colorado; his offices at the
State House have been the plotting
grounds for the ringleaders. He was
leader in the councils of the Inner
Circle that armed the ignorant for
eigners to make war upon the COM
monwealth. And all this time he
was an official of the state, sworn to
obey its laws.
During the crisis, when anarchy
was rampant and when the state ex-
ecutive was appealing to Washington
for federal aid TO prevent Wholesale
bloodshed, Brake appeared on the
platform to add to the flame and to
shout encouragement to the assas-
sins.
At Pueblo on Sunday, April 25,
1914, Brake took part in an 'indigna-
tom meeting against the governor
and the National guard and used this
language, taken from the public press
of the day following the meeting:
"On the sixth day of August last
Governor Ammons asked me to go to
Trinidad and make an investigation
into the strike. | left that day and
that night two gunmen committed the
first murder in this controversy.
felt heartsick and | realized that it
would require strong man at the
helm to stop the promised revolution
Lieutenant Ohlinger, under orders of
General Chase, deported nly depu.
ties. When we protested we were
told by General Chase that ne would
run the district to suit himself, and
he chose to persecute strikers, and his
men have robbed homes, stolen the
money Of the strikers, insulted their
wives and murdered their babies. They
went out oe their way to murder.
'rhe governor is incomr etent. II
| could believe it wasn't deeper seat
ed than this might have some char
ity for the man. It's no wonder the
strikers took up arms. It's a wonder
TO me they didn't go further. | say
TO you Americans here if you mad seen
your wives and babies murdered what
would you do You would not have
the forbearance these strikers have
shown"
Brake has in his employ William
Il. Hickey, one Of the ringleaders III
the war against the state. Deputy
Labor Commissioner Hickey was
chosen publicly to receive arms with
which TO open statewide rebellion
against the commonwealth and the
law-abiding people. And Hickey was
arrested on his way to Boulder with
an automobile filled with rifles and
ammunition for the strikers who
were then bombarding mines in Boul-
der county and holding prisoners the
peace officers of the county. This is
the evidence circular distributed
everywhere-calling for open revolt.
