COLORADO PROSPECTS
OUTLOOK ron pRooREss sRleHr
DECLARES GOVERNOR.
State Never Looked Forward % .
Finer Future Than on Thirty.
Ninth Birthday, Says Carbon.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Denyer.-Governor Geo. A. Carlson,
in a message on Colorado's- thirty
ninth birthday. said:
Colorado never had reason to be
prouder than ON this her thirty-ninth
birthday. This state never looked for
ward to . finer future. never had .
firmer foundation for progress than
today. At home and abroad, among
all our sister states, we now stand for
law enforcement, for orderly progress.
All over the East in my recent trip
I found q new idea of Colorado, q true
appreciation Of the new order Of
things.
On this birthday, therefore. let US
count our resources and blessings and
take careful note of those things that
threaten our good name, our well be-
ing and our peace.
Among these count first the at
tempt that is being covertly planned
to nullify and overthrow our prohibi-
ton law.
Colorado now stands for law en-
forcement, for the majesty and dignity
Of the law. A number Of our people
with a mistaken idea Of their portion
are seeking to overthrow the consti-
tuition. trample upon the law and defy
the will OF the people solemnly regis
tered on the question Of banishing the
saloon.
Let US remember in time that indi-
vidual or group. who would nullify the
constitution, IL striking at the thing
that 10 deepest and dearest to the
American citizens and that by con-
tinuing In such folly will soon be COM
PEELED to endure the bitter scorn Of an
aroused and indignant people.
Let us remember that II we break
our constitution to favor any special
interest, by that act we weaken
fundamental instrument which alone
sustains US and whatsis ours.
Let MS give the breath Of vital life
to our constitution and laws and in
the example Of obedience and respect
that we ourselves furnish. offer in
spiration to all others to do the same.
