JUDGE GUNTER TAKEN TO TASK
FOR FAILURE TO AID PRO-
HIBlTION.

George A. Carlson has been campaign.
ing for his reelection on the Republi-
can ticket practically two weeks to-
day. In that time, in speeches con-
fined for the most part to rural and
mining sections, he has literally torn
to pieces the pleas of his opposition
for election.
In his verbal assaults on the posi-
tions of the Democrats Governor Carl
hibition, Industrial conditions and law
enforcement. His recital of the labor
records of the Shafroth and Ammons
Democratic administrations has
proved his most effective weapon.
The voters everywhere have revolted
at the recollection of the Democratic
days when anarchy and hardship held
sway throughout the big industrial
communities of the state.
Some of the most striking compari.
sons of the records of the two Demo
cratic and present Republican admin.
istrations. as given by the Governor
in his recent speeches, follow:
GOVERNOR CARLSON
ON LAW ENFORCEMENT.
This administration accepted
frightful heritage Of passion and hate
from the preceding Democratic admin
istrations, but We are glad and proud
to report that not one life or one dol.
lars worth Of property has been the
prey Of Industrial violence during the
past two years. We propose to EN-.
phasize and to continue the policy OF
equal and exact law inforcemont in
the future As we have in the past.
ON JUDGE oUNTER, THE
DEMOCRATS AND BOOZE.
Whatever social. moral and eco
nomic good has come to the State Of
Colorado through the abolishment OF
the saloon has not come through their
(the Democrats) aid. but in spite OF
their active opposition. Two years
ago we did not try to get any votes
by false pretenses. We were out In
the open. Everyone knew where we
stood. Today-we are still out in the
open standing Just where we stood
two years ago. ...,-
Today. Democracy claims to be as
dry as a Colorado sand lizard. Why!
We drove them to it! Two years ago
1t was politically expedient to be
"wet." Two years ago they were
wet" Today, it is politically expedi
ent to be dry" Today, they are
dry"
Is it fair for man Judge Gunter)
to ask to be entrusted with the imme.
diate leadership Of great cause who,
although he had prominence and pow.
er, when this cause was an issue In
his own community, did nothing what.
ever to advance It?

AND LABOR.

vices have been installed in perilous

Commission has settled 50 disputes
without friction or loss Of pay and
time. and with equal Justice to the
parties involved.
Under these laws deaths due to
coal mine accidents during the first
SIX months Of 1916 were 1e, As com
