how he is going to secure blue-sky
law Suffering jackrabbits What has
Jimmie to do with It? There will be
a blue-sky law. 1t will be the one
urged by the Colorado Metal Mining
Association which, officially took up
the matter nearly year ago and now
has a committee drafting proper
measure. Nolan never thought of such
a law until he found the mining men
were actively in favor of one. Believ-
ing 1t might grab him few votes he
seeks to take the glory. Jimmie is
rather overplayinx this publicity stunt.
"Dodger John" Shafroth Is at it
again. Now he is trying to dodge his
responsibility as member Of the COM
mittee on equal suffrage, and is ex-
planning why the report will not be
acted upon. For downright useless
ness we point with humiliation to
Senator Shafroth.
Major John Martin of Pueblo shows
up the disloyal record Of Congressman
Ed Keating and will enter the Demo
cratic primaries after Eds scalp.
Here's hoping he gets it. While Mar
tin may be an exceedingly hard man
for any Republican to defeat at the
polls, the people of the district will be
safe in the knowledge that real
American citizen is In Congress from
the district rather than cheap, un-
American four-flusher.
1t is most encouraging to note the
way the people Of this country are re-
covering from over twenty years OF
vicious undertaking and the elevation
to public places of visionary reform
ers. The demand now for active. live,
energetic. reliable and loyal Americans
in public office is too great to be over
looked The President has tried the
inefficient for year and found them
wanting. Recently he turned to such
men as schwab, Ryan and Hughes for
assistance and they answered the call
like loyal men, although the positions
they occupy do not carry any compen-
sation to speak of. Colorado has suf-
fered much by sending weak men to
Congress-men like John Shafroth,
Ben Hilliard and Ed Heating. 1t is
time the people of this state followed
the hunch afforded by the President
and sought able men for those places.
The Republicans have already settled
on Charley Waterman for the Senate.
He is able, reliable, sincere and above
all true American. Let the party
find equally as able men for the other
places in Congress and let them also
find equally as able men for state Of
fices.
Charley Friend, the insurgant leader
in the last Legislature, formerly dear
pal of Attorney General Hubbard, an
nounces he will contest the nomina-
ton for attorney general In the pri-
maries. While Friend is long ways
from being heavyweight, at that he
would tip the scales couple of feet
higher than the present encumbent OF
that office.

those of Democratic persuasion at

and election on a gold platter, but Tom
is in line for one awful bump.
