The best equipped United States
Senator Is one VINO knows the needs
and requirements OF all classes of
American people. who knows the Con-
stitution and the laws and statutes OF
the United States: who knows what
the Constitution means and is famil-
lar with the decisions of the Supreme
Court and other courts of the United
States; who is able to discuss intel
ligently and determine the constitu-
tionality OF proposed laws; who by
training and experience knowS wheth-
er proposed laws can and will accom-
plish the desired end; and who by
education, observation and practical
experience. has broad vision, a clear
understanding Of the county's intricate
affairs-both present and past-and
country's future needs.
To whom does the successful busi-
ness man and business corporation
turn for advice and for counsel to
plan. to direct and to manage their
business affairs? There is but one
answer. They employ the man who
knows the Constitution and the laws;
who knows whether any proposed
business venture. and any proposed
line of action in any business matter
is legal and legitimate; and who by
personal experience knows how busi-
ness affairs should be carried on in
order to be successful.
The lawyer selected by successful
business men and corporations to
guide and conduct their affairs, is al
ways chosen because he possesses all
those qualifications, and all those
qualifications must be possessed by
any successful and Influential United
States Senator.
Charles w. Waterman is such q
man and possesses all those qualifica-
tions. If you doubt 1t ask anybody
who knows him. For more than
twenty years he has been q success
full lawyer and business man in Den
yer. He has been the chief and d.
recting counsel for successful busi-
ness men and large successful busi-
ness concerns. He has been counsel
in many Of the most important cases
in the courts of this state and several
important cases in the Supreme Court
of the United States.
BY education. training and expert
ence he Is peculiarly fitted to perform
all the duties Of United States Sem
ator.
Mr.. Waterman stands in the open
and upon his record of personal ac-
complishments. and not in the reflect
ed glory Of anybody.
He has supported and will support
national and state prohibition and a
bone-dry law. He never contributed
to the cause of the "wets," but has
always opposed them in every way.
The issue between the "wets" and
"drys" is as clearly drawn today as
1t ever was and those favoring prohi-
bition and a bone-dry law must <be
active or lose.
He has always opposed, and now op-
poses, openly. the bipartisan political
machine. He never made a combina-
tion with Democrats for the purpose
OF securing public office, and never
will. He opposes the invisible gov
ernment Of politicians in every form.
He advocates taking care of the SOL
diers when they come home. and urges
that Congress open up the lands of
the government to them for settle
ment upon easy terms and conditions,
and that all land schemes and large
holdings Of land held for speculation
be broken up.
He urges the people Of the country
to awaken and prepare for the condi-
tions which will follow Immediately
upon the close of the war, to the end
that the common people of the coun-
try may be protected.
! He insists that the laboring men and
common people Of the country be pro-
tected against profiteering wealth and
/ combinations of capital.
He insists that the interests of the
! farmers. the miners and the stock.
growers be protected and their inter
ests conserved by proper legislation.
4 He urges proper legislation to Sc
cure a just distribution and expendi-
ture Of the large highway funds of
the state.
He insists upon the adoption Of leg
islation which shall secure universal
military training.
When elected United States Sena-
tor he will devote his entire time. and
do everything within his power. to aid
the government and the President Of
the United States to win the war and
win It quickly. and when It is won. he
