1t takes Bob Speer to stir up the
Denver animals in the city election
circus. Independent editor once went
to Denver on a Speer election day just
to see the war. The papers for weeks
had the city hall full of cannons and
armed forces on every house-top. We
felt that the trip would be money we'll
spent Our peaceful slumbers were
not disturbed in the early morning by
the "cannon's deadly roar" and no one
had even shouted: "On With the
Dance!" At about ten o'clock in the
forenoon, in company with friend in
his car we drove to all the polling
places and hiked through the worst as
well as best parts of the city, and we
never saw more quiet election even
in country town. Didn't see even a
ward fist fight or drunken row.
And Speer was elected 1t was also
boosted by many Denver people that
he made very progressive and salts

The Mexican tangle is growing and
it is going to force itself into the pub
lie lime-light more and more. Like
John Browns soul Villas body will go
marching on. How long will it take
this nation to see that every attempt
at government down there is merely
another revolution, with the same or a
different leadership? And how long
will it take the peon populace to
break away from that sort of thing
and appeal to a stable government for
protection? Now Diaz is back, recruit
ing and increasing revolutionary
army; and if Diaz, Villa, and Caranza,
and all the balance of the Mexican
revolutionary generals should be shot
tomorrow, half a dozen more would
spring up in night to carry on revo-
buttons, pillage and robbery. The re-
public is dead; long live the republic!"
