THE. DIFFERENCE IN The PARTIES
(ey LESLIE N. SHAWL


Gov. Leslie II. Shaw. in discussing
the difference in parties IN Canon
City Saturday night. said:
While tie personnel of parties is
much alike-good and bad, rich and
poor. high and low in each-the par
ties are as widely divergent as Alo-
pathic and Osteopathic schools of
medicine.
All Are Producers.
"All industrious people are pro-
ducers. One man produces labor and
sells IT. Another buys labor and pro-
duces agricultural or factory products
or transportation or some form OF
commerce. We are all consumers.
We therefore have divergent self-in-
terests We would like to buy CHEAP
and sell dear. The Democratic party
always appeals to US at the selfish
angle of consumer. They tell US the
one thing We need to make us pros
porous and happy is cheap things to
consume. We say the one thing nee
essary is a high price for what We
produce. whether il be labor or some
resultant OF labor. They say il mat
tiers not of whom we buy If the thing
be cheap We say IL matters little what
