THE NEWS AND TIMES REFERS
to US plebian farmers and city wage
earners as bolshevik because it takes
for granted that all US plain people
who are not in the multi-millionaire
class are supporting the state Demo-
cratic ticket by reason of the progress
sive platform promulgated by the
candidates of the faith of Thomas
Jefferson and Woodrow Wilson. This
careless use of foreign terms of sup
posed derision is likely to make. them
popular in Colorado. Even former
Governor George A. Carlson arises
from his political grave to apply the
term "bolshevik" to organized labor
because of demand for repeal of the
cossack law placed upon the statute
books to coerce and intimidate labor
ing people. The o. p is of opinion
that the Times and News are going
to aid in solidifying the "plain citi-
zens" for the Democratic ticket.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON OF LAST
week pleasant surprise was given
the six generals, one major and one
colonel of the Denver Liberty Loan
army. In true military fashion, Field
Marshal Will McPhee and General
Chairman Karl c. Schuyler sent out
a hurry up telephone call for these
officers to mobilize promptly at 4
o'clock in the directors room of the
Colorado National bank. Not a gen
eral was missing at that hour. Field
Marshal McPhee made a few i'm
promptu remarks concerning the
Fourth Liberty Loan drive, in which
Denver went over the top with more
than 81 100000 to spare. Chairman
Schuyler then expressed his apprecia-
tion in a few "well chosen remarks"
handing the buck back to Bill. The
field marshal then grew a wee bit Sc
rious, and in sincere tone of voice
told how the work of the generals,
major, colonel, captains and lieuten-
ants of the mems army was appre-
clated. This expression was empha-
sized when each general, major and
colonel was presented with a beauti-
full hand worked silk American flag,
a joint gift of Chairman Schuyler and
Field Marshal McPhee. The fortunate
Recipients were Generals L. B. Brom-
field, George A. Vallery, E. H. Brock
man, H. M. Stoll, C. B. Whitehead and
Theodore Smith, Major George o.
Wolf and Colonel Clint C. Houston. 1t
was decided to make the Denver Lib
erty Loan army a permanent institu-
ton, ready for service after the war
in advancing the interests of this city.
These 440 men, the live wires of Dem
yer, will stand ready to put any big
proposition over the top that may
have for its purpose the progress and
prosperity of this community.
ONE OF THE FIVE REFEREN-
dunn propositions to be voted upon
Tuesday, November 5, is known as
the "bone dry" amendment. 1t will
eliminate the permit law which has
been so viciously abused, and which
has made perjurers Of hundreds of
Colorado citizens since its enactment.
Both the Democratic and Republican
parties, in their platform declarations,
have endorsed this measure, and it
will no doubt carry by an overwhelm-
in the coming general election to elm
mate the booze traffic by constitutional
They are Ohio, Califor-
mia, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming, Mime
sofa, Missouri and Florida. In prac-
tically all of these states the "drys"
have every assurance of success. Up
to date fourteen states have ratified
the national constitutional amendment
to prohibit the manufacture and sale
of liquor in the United States. They
are Mississippi, Virginia, Kentucky,
South Carolina, North Dakota, Mary
land, Montana, Texas, Delaware,
South Dakota, Massachusetts, Arizo-
ma, Georgia and Louisiana.
THIRTY-FOUR UNITED STATES
senators are to be elected November
in the Senate is eight. If the Repub-
licans gain four of the ten seats,
where it is claimed they have a chance
to win, they can tie the Senate, and
success in five of these contests would
give them control of the Senate, as
suming that they do not lose any of
the seats they now hold. The Demo-
Gratis claim a chance to win seven
seats now held by the Republicans.
Their party leaders believe that this
prospect offsets the possibility of Re-
publican control. The states where
the Republicans claim to have a chance
to win seats now occupied by Demo-
Gratis are Indiana, New Hampshire,
Kansas, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado,
Montana, Kentucky, Missouri and
Delaware. In some Of these it is ad-
mitted the chances are slim, particu-
larly in Colorado. The states in which
the Democrats claim a chance of cap
turing seats now held by Republican
senators are Michigan, West Virginia,
Rhode Island, South Dakota, Nebras-
ka. New Jersey and Oregon.
