POT FROM POWER
CARLSON PLEDGES PARTY WILL
FREE COLORADO FROM VICIOUS
NEWSPAPER INFLUENCE AND
ESTABLISH SAFETY AND
SECURITY OF HONEST
BUSINESS.

Denver, Colo. Nov. briefly. but
in words OF driving force. Governor
Carlson charged the Democrats with
being responsible for the elevation OF
the Denver Post to official power,
when he spoke at Victor last Satur-
day night He said the Republicans
had driven the Post from the state
house. freed the state OF Hosgattism.
and be pledged his party TO make 1t
possible for honest business TO feel
safe from the vicious influence Of this
newspaper. He said:
There is no other single influence
so inimieal to the interests Of the city
OF Denver and the welfare OF the peo-
pie of Colorado as the Denver Post
Who first elevated its propristors
10 official power in this state7 The
Democratic party leaders. They put
Volney T. Hoggatt in as register OF
the State Land Board whom they
knew that he was but the plant and
suppliant tool of Bonfils and Tam
men; when they knew all about Bon
fills and Tammen. all about Tammen's
early employment in Denver. and Bon
fills former business in Kansas City;
when they knew OF Tammen's record
in the jefferson County Court. when
they knew that Bonfils had slug
sed the aged Senator Patterson;
,hrn they knew that both of these
men were cold blooded. merciless,
cruel. INSCRIPTIONS. selfish and grasp
ing
Whatever harm has come to the
state through Hoggattism these party
leaders are responsible for.
The present Democratic leaders
have put up Post reporter for the
great office OF secretary OF state. Do
he manufacturers and business men
Of Denver and the state understand
the full significance of this? DO they
realize that the Labor Department
and the factory inspectors are under
The office OF the secretary OF state?
When these factory inspectors begin
making daily reports TO the Denver
Post of business and manufacturing
secrets. when they commence to con
denim buildings which should not be
condemned. perhaps there will be 9th
ers like the former president of one
Of our interstate railroads who will
pay handsomely for editorial support
The secretary of state has the let
ting OF considerable amount of le-
gal advertising to the papers over
The state Several OF these papers
have dared express their honest opin-
ion OF their giant brothers with the
heart and SOUL These nv be pun
ished. and those papers which repeat
ed their MENTORS falsehoods must be
rewarded-at public expense.
Senator Thomas and Tom O'Don-
nell. aren't you ashamed OF the party
leadership that would permit such
party abasement7 As individuals, our
opponents nave shown independence
and courage. but whenever the Den
yer Post turns its full glare upon the
parry leadership as a whole, 1t seems
% wither like a Kansas grain field
before a hot wind in August.
We threw Volney T. Hoggatt out
after the Democratic party leaders
put him in. We have had too many
other things to do to give proper at
IGNITION TO the Denver Post during the
past two years, but. IL reelected, we
promise the people Of the state to
pass such laws at the next session
Of the Legislature and put them into
active execution that the business
men OF Denver and the state will be
as safe In the daily conduct OF honest
business as are the business men OF
other cities where there is no Denver
