sideration very soon. So far as Is
known none of the candidates for
President are making special efforts
to get Colorado's vote, and there is
every indication that the delegation
will be uninstructed. This makes 1t
all the more important that only the
very best, most patriotic and wisest
men should be entrusted with this
commission.
Mr.. A. M. Stevenson has given a
long interview to the Pueblo Chief
tain in which he frankly states that
he would like to be a delegate. The
reasons he give are certainly entitled
to the earnest consideration of all
members of the party. He seriously
questions the propriety of Carlson
being candidate for this honor and
Iintimates that none but his Kitchen
cabinet" by which he means his ap-
pointfve officials, are supporting him
for this honor. Mr.. Stevenson is quot
ed further as saying: Mr.. Carlson
occupies the highest official position

the work and effort of the law-loving

their time, their money and their

sentiment that made Carlson gover-
nor, are Just as capable of creating

CAPITAL CORRESPONDENT
Denver, March 13. 1916

beuNeF, hdTCH 10, lSlb.
1t is now just fourteen months
since the present state officials took
office. For six years previous to that
time the Democrats had been in power
eral incompetency had well nigh
,bankrupted the state. A short time
before they retired from Office, four
percent state bonds had sold in Den
yer for as low as IS cents on the dol
lar and state certificates of indebted
ness for as low as 65 cents. The
state penitentiary had floating debt
of over 100000. Some of the state
educational institutions were fearing
they might have to close their doors
and general Generalization was in
evidence everywhere.
Today, owing to the careful and
business-like administration of the
finances by State Treasurer Stocker
and Auditor Mulnix. heartily support
ed by the other state officials, Colo
RADIO state bonds are eagerly snapped
up at par by investors; certificates of
Indebtedness are purchased at face
value, and interest, by the State
Treasurer; the floating debt of the
penitentiary has been paid in full;
the educational institutions are all
on easy street, and the credit of the
state is as high as that of any state in
the union.
Since January 1, 1915, insurrection
bonds of the issue of 1897, to the
amount of $4,000 have been pur-
chased and cancelled and bonds of
other issues to the amount of over
100000 have been purchased for
different state funds-most of them
for the school fund-and notwith-
more money on hand by over half
million dollars than there was four
teen months ago. Reckless expendi-
lures have been stopped; delinquent
creditors of the state have been made
to pay up, and some who had been
overpaid have been made to disgorge.
This fine work has been brought
about only by persistent, intelligent
effort, and those who are inclined to
believe that most of the time of all
the state officials has been spent in
running around making speeches are
seriously misinformed.
The question of who shall rep
resent Colorado at the Chicago con-
vention will be up for serious con-

NOW WE KNOW WHO
CAUSED THE BIG WAR

AS to the cause of the war, the
Army and Navy Journal tells the fol-

in debate before the City club OF

"Who caused the WARP" That is a
long story. Richard Harding Davis
went to Europe to find out-that was
his business as reporter. He went
into Buckingham palace and said:
Now, George, on the level. as be-
tween two friends. who caused this
rumpus?'
'Ah-well-I don't know; you &c
and ask Nick
$50 Davis went to Petrograd and
said. Now, Nick, who was it?' And
Nick said. I don't know; you better
go and ask Bill So he went to Ber-
lin, slapped Bill on the back and said,
Bill, old chap. who was it?'
Teddy
.Teddy?'
Yes, after he got thru being presi-
dent he went to Africa to hunt for a
while; then he went to Stockholm to
get a peace prize and then he came
here and we fixed up little battle
for him, without getting too near.
When the battle was over he said to
me, Bill that's bully army you've
got; you can lick any army in the
world. Now. how was l to know that
he was a liar?'"

Every voter in the county should
