"There is an institution in Denver

he said. cit is managed, owned and
controlled by pair of men, Tammen
and Bonfils. In previous years since
they established their plant in Denver
is has dictated and attempted to die
tate the policies of the administration
of Colorado. I've seen them and I've
seen their methods and their machina-
tions. l know their system of black
mailing. know and have seen their
prize fight taking. They forged the
name of governor to the appoint
ment of Hoggatt as register of the land
board. Four years ago under my pred
ecessor in office through this news
paper, Volney 7. Hoggatt was appoin-
ted register of that board. l don't need
to tell you more. Without question it
was the most unfit appointment to an
important position ever made in the
political history of the United States.
Why was it made? Why should the
administ tration be terrorized into max
ing it? What was their plan? l will
tell you.
"Ths register of that board has con-

to the county approximately $4,000
through the income fund for schools
and public work of that kind. Now
how did the county become able to
secure that paments The state owns
100000 acres of school land. 1t owns
virtually like amount of coal land,
the richest land in the state and cap
able Of producing abundant revenue for
state purposes. Handing of the reve.
nues of this vast acreage was entrusted
to Volney Hoggatt. If you know Hog
gait and his crowd as know them you
wouldn't trust him with blind mule.
But to Hoggstt this great trust was
turned over through the terrorizing VI
the gang Of blackmailers and the peo-
pie were left to suffer it as best they
might.
when I went into Office these men
came to me. They said, Governor,
we IL let you write editorials. Gov
ernor, II give you free rein. Gov.
ernor, n give you the paper to use
it as you see fit, II you II simply sp-
point Volney Hoggatt Is register Of
