rado:
Although | have the highest pr.
sonal regard for each Of the several
Republican candidates for Governor
and United States Senator. feel It
my duty to give the public record Of
two Of them upon vital state and na-
tonal issues.
In the fall Of 1914 the liquor forces
seemed to have . strangle hold upon
the State. These forces had an
avowed champion in my powerful ad.
vsrsary. He brought to their aid all
the strength Of a great political or
ganization. We who were meeting
him on this issue greatly needed help.
Ar. Ballreich closed up his office and
sor three weeks toured the State With
u. He made from three to eight
speeches day and there was not .
harder hitter anywhere In Colorado
than Charlie Ballreich. The marvel
ous moral and economic returns that
have come to this State through that
Dry victory were not gifts. We bad

you forgotten that hard fight made IN
your interests! II not. please rsme'
ber that Charles A. Ballreich was
powerful contributor to the dry VIC
tory.
Where Waterman stood.
Many will recall the Denver Repub.
lican Assembly Of 1914 The wet"
interests we're In complete control OF
the Democratic organization. The
only important issue between the
rival candidates for Governor before
the Republican Assembly was
whether the dry cause s.ould secure
negative or affirmative support. Tbs
majority Of the Denver Assembly d.
mandsd that the Assembly's repre-.
ssntativss solidly support one oandi-
date for Governor. but Mr.. Waterman
said mo-" and insisted that the min
Gritty candidates receive their proper.
tionate representation In the State
Convention. No more powerful plsa
was ever made In any political Assem-.
bly, In Colorado than this one made
BY Mr.. Waterman before the Denver
Assembly. This speech was one l0f
the biggest factors Of the year in fin
ally putting the Republican Party Il
firmatively and forcibly back Of the
dry issue.
Patriotism Always Preneunosd.
