1t is pretty hard for divided par,
ty to contest with united party.
The Republicans were unfortunate in
this respect. The Democrats. being
the normal minority party, were able
to avoid these unpleasant conditions
that usually come to the majority
party. The winning party always
has an unlimited number of aspirants
Tor office. Only a few can be nomi-
mated and it is the custom of the
friends of sthe defeated andidate
.or nomination to get out and hustle
lor the other party candidates. 1t is
only the very popular man that can
pull thru with such handicap. AS
a rule where the parties are about
equally divided the one in office gets
the worst of it.

The Colorado Democrats have rea-
son to feel proud of the record they
made in this state at the election re-
gardless of the reasons why. The
Aorthern people have always been in

Democratic majoritios that defy at
tack. This time Colorado gave a
.arger majority to Wilson than did
any one of two-thirds of the south

1t might be well to suggest. as we

When a newspaper seems to find
it necessary to exalt its political idols

Jesus Christ, well may the liberty

further from such an un-American

willing to meet his or her opponent

means of education and at the same
