WHO'S WHO AMONG GOVERNOR
CARLSON'S ENEMIES.

Political gangsters are at work try
ing to queer" Governor Carlson and.
if possible, prevent his denomination
and election.
II Colorado ever needed a steady
hand and clear brain to pilot the
Ship of State the time is right now
Colorado has come back" under the
Carlson administration. enjoying the
respect and reverance of the Sister
hood Of states as never before.
'Tis true Governor Carlson is not
the hand picked choice of certain party
machinery which has fallen into bad
holding company" but HE Is THE
PEOPLES CHOICE, and in Colorad,
the PEOPLE-not political machinery
are supremely sovereign.
Governor Carlson has measured up
to and beyond the expectations OF the
people who voted for his election, and
those same people will see to 1t that
no bunch of cutthroat. political assas-
sins puts anything over on THEIR
GOVERNOR.
Merely casual analysis Of the char
acter Of Governors chief opponents
is enough to ensure his reelection by
q bigger majority than before.
The Denver Post is opposed to Carl
son because he removed a member of
the Post family" from the State Land
Office. namely, Volney 7. Hoggatt.
which stopped easy picking for the
Post in the State Land Office, and the
Post Is peeved.
Tie harder the Denver Pest knocks
Governor Carlson the bigger man it
will make him. The opposition of the
Post should recommend Governof
Carlson strongly to the people. He has
refused to let the Champa Street paper
with a heart and coal for sale" to
run the State; and let it be said that
Governor Carlson and the State Ad-
ministration do not need any assis-
tance from the Denver Post (Pest).
There is literary scavenger In Cur
tbs Street, Denver, one Jefferay, whose
linguistic garbage is enough to give a
hog the collie, who is opposed to the
Governor, presumably because he does
not wear yellow top, silk sox and buy
his clothes at his store. Anyhow, his
criticisms are always directed toward
the Governors personal appearance
Governor Carlson's appearance may
not be pleasing to that fiShy-eyed,
sissified Jefferay, but GEORGE CARL
SON, GOVERNOR OF COLORADO,
LOOKS MIGHTY GOOD TO THE
PEOPLE
Jefferay's opposition ought to net the
Governor at least twenty-five thousand
more votes next NeYember.
Governor Carlson's further opposi.
ton comes from the scattered REM
nants of the one-time powerful politi-
cal machine. The old machine isn't
to be feared, however. since the peo-
pie have shorn it of its power. until
it is as impOrtent as a eunuch in a
Turkish harem. The old bosses, who
would like to see reenacted the scenes
Of the old soap-box convention days.
are passing type; they are strutting
peacocks in their political dotage and
their opposition to the Governor Is
not worth mentioning
Governor Carlson, the peoples Gov
ernor, is not demigod Maybe lie
has made mistakes. What governor of
what Governor Carlson has done, he
has done conscientiously and fearless
ly.
Certain conditions demanded that
the people, regardless Of party affillia-
tions. choose a Governor and they
elected George A. Carlson. Now, those
same conditions demand that the the
people reflect the governor who has
made good.
The people must be watchful and
not be unconsciously influenced by a
pernicious newspaper and bunch of
unbalanced freaks. The warming cry
is. Don't rock the boat"
Keep the Ship of State in smooth
waters by keeping at the helm THE
GOVERNOR WHO is NOT AFRAID
George A. Carlson.
The rules of fair play entitle the
Governor to another term and the peo-
pie who elected him before will see
that he gets it.
