Sam D. Nicholson, Master
Builder and Business Man
ALLISON STOCKER GIVES UP RACE
FOR PARTY UNITY.

Allison Stocker, our favor
ite for the Governor of Colo
rado came before Republican
> assembly and declared his in
tention not tn enter the race.
Then our choice for the best
man.1was the Hon. Sam D.
Nicholson.
Prohibition is not an issue
in this campaign because the
majority Of people voted on it
and settled it. Since the Dem
ocratic Assembly went on re-
cord II not favoring the silly
beer" amendment. and since
the Republican party went on
record as opposing the foolish
beer" amendment and in
addition to that declared in
favor of not only dry" Col
orado but more dry" Colo
RADIO by limiting and curtail-
ing shipments of liquors in
Colorado and finally since the
prohibition amendment was
voted into our constitution
two years ago becoming a
part Of our organic law just
as much as our amendment
to vote directly upon the Sen
ators and Representatives, the
Star holds and contends that
there is no more issue OF the
prohibition cause now, which
was settled then by a solemn
majority Of the State. than
there is an issue about the di-
rect vote of the people upon
the Congressman. This hue
and cry is made by the Carl
son crowd with the Anti-Sa-
loon people thru A. j. Finch
attempting ITO create and
maintain a settled question an
open on is the Stars opinion,
The people have settled ques
and now both political
parties are against. with the
Republican party declaring
more dry. Don'tyouthink
it most unwise on the part OF
the temperance people to try
to resurrect "a dead issue to
elect Gov. Carlson when the
business, mining and educa-
tional Interests of the people,
as we'll as, good roads OF our
State should be given our Wit
al attention. SO much for
that. One carrying the ban
ner of prosperity. himself al
ready a successful business
nan, who has been in Colora-
do more than one quarter cen
tury, ought to know by this
time and by his varied exper-
fences, as a miner. newspaper
and business and public man
inst what thriving Colorado
needs to move her up again
aud out her back upon her old
prosperity wheels. He knows
how attract the financial in
,srests to Colorodo, because
yearly every hill, valley and
dsie knows or has heard of
the ringing pick, the blazing
lantern and explosive fuse of
sam Nicholson when he
came to Colorado a poor boy
and has risen by the dint of
his own efforts to be One of
Colorado's mining giants of
finance and development.

Leadville sing his praises
with the monuments of stone,
brick and motar which today
spea in silent true and i'm
pressive tones of his shrewd
business acumen and prowess.
When the Republican assem-
bly, by a majority vote of 13s
chose Sam u. Nicholson as
its most forward standard
bearer, it was then that big
Success was spelled and
cleaned out of an uncertain,
indefinite and vacillating ad-
ministration of Carlson. Mark
you. that the Nicholson forces
controlled the assembly by
1885 votes and that those strong
resolutions on prohibition
were from the Nicholson fore.
es and none other. Please put
a pin in that. Let the Star tell
you who this man Nicholson
is any way.
A constructive policy. a
building up and pulling to-
gether of all the essentials
ness.safyto an effective ad-
ministration of public affairs,
are the vital problems Of the
day in Colorado. 1t is a time
when the broader and more
expansive views of men and
events must supersede the
narrow. The bitterness of
class hatred. the friction be-
tween capital and labor, and
all phases of pessimism that
clog the highways of prosper
ity, must be eradicated. Con-
struction and reconstruction,
with all the fullness of their
meaning. are the present and
urgent needs of our state de-
manding the'highest exempli-
hcation Of executive force and
ability. The work to be done
and the problems to be solved
require the truest and best
type Of manhood.
Hence, Sam d. Nicholson,
Republican candidate for gov
ernor is the strong man the
man of the hour in Colorado.
He is the man of the people,
for the people and will be
elected by the people. Fear
less and courageous. and pos
sessed of the highest traits of
honor, integrity and ability. a
man of his word, saying what
he means and meaning what
he says, Mr.. Nicholson is the
one leader for this construct
i've work in Colorado.
We have passed thru more
than a decade of reforms
good. bad and indifferent.
Nostrums of all kinds have
been aRitated. rejected or a
dopted. Turmoil and confu-
sion have throttled business
and bad influences must be dis
carded. Constructive forces
must be recognized. The con.
crew is the Republi-
.an party with Mr.. Nicholson
As the leader and captain, We
nave had campaign in which
candidates made tours of the

openly dehled the Race. He
appointed John F. Costello,

member of the Race and since
the time of President Cleve-
land no head of the nation has.
sought to ignore the Race by =
appointing a white man. But
the South is in the saddle, and
Wilson is adhering to the
Confederates who never for
get the fact that the days of
their supremacy are over and
they seek to try to rule wher-
ever they may. This act of
the President has violated a
precedent of twenty years
standing. Now, Bishop Wal.
tiers, have you faith in Wilson?
We have not. nor never will,
and when we go to the ballot
box in November we will cast
our votes for anyone but him
and his friends of the South.
May others follow our course,

We could enumerate many
reasons why Woodrow Viii
son should be defeated. We
could review his whole shift
ing, temporizing policy with
the belligerent countries of
Europe. We could go over
the entire series Of his contra
dictory and dumfounding &C
tions with regard to Mexico.
which have brought US into a
state Of war with that country
and which before these lines
are printed may bring US to
actual warfare. We might
answer the chief claim on
which he goes before the
country, that of having kept
the United States out of the
present war, by pointing out
that no European nation has
sought a quarrel with US, that
any man can keep out of a
fight who can run fast enough
or stand an unlimited number
of cuffs and kicks. We could
show that the prosperity of
which the Administration
boasts Is only blood money.
In reply to the Democratic
platform motto, peace with
honor we could cite the sink
ing of the Lusitania still una
vowed. the flag in Mexico still
unsaluted, and the deaths of
hundreds of American SOL
diers and civilians at the hands
of Mexicans ON both sides the
Rio Grande still unanswered
for.
