TWO MILLIONAIRE CAN
DIDATES FOR THE UNIT
ED STATES SENATORSHIP

Lawrence c. Phipps, the Republican
is millionaire. he does not deny or
conceal it, but has the record of being
one of the most philosophical men
of Colorado, which has been his resi-
dence for sixteen years.
John +. Shafroth is generally con-
coded to be millionaire, but conceals
it. He is a man of wealth, and for
many years an office-holder in this
state. Although he has amassed a
fortune, he still runs for office-he has
had this habit for thirty-six years
as poor man." and as the poor
mans" friend. In long years of office
holding, with highly renumerative SAL
aries, and lucrative law business, he
has also made valuable investments
until he is a reputed millionaire. Ac-
cording to his own Bolshevil<i plat
form, what right has he to run for
office He owns a considerable part
of the old "Kaiserhof" hotel on Seven
teenth street, Denver. 1t is now known
as the Remark" that still uses its
china and table linen on which is en-
graved the coat of arms of the I'm
perial German Government. He also
has other valuable investments.
Shafroth has been a Republican, a
Silver Republican, Populist and a Dem
ocrat. He is now a Bolsheviki Demo-
crat. What next? Any old thing or
any old party to hold office. If Shat
roth has ever done anything for the
public he has made the people pay for
it in good silver. Whatever Phipps has
done for the public he has literally
given from his own pocket.

WHAT A DEMOCRATIC
REPRESENTATIVE SAYS

Jay Byron, Democratic member of
the Twelfth General Assembly from
Boulder County recently read 7. j.
O'Donnell's epistle to Democracy con-
corning Shafroth, lyman, Heating,
Taylor and the rest of the office-hold-
ing crew and wrote him as follows:
Il was a little surprised at the pol
itical stand which you have taken, and
at the same time pleased, because in
the main l agree with you. | never
saw the politics of Gilpen County in
such a peculiar condition as they are
at the present time. The county is
safely two or three to one Democratic,
but l am quite sure that one or two
workers carefully selected from each
precinct could defeat every one of the
candidates whom you condemn, but we
are not doing much talking up here,
we are afraid of hurting our local
ticket"

A special editor for the Sparks was
imported by the democrats from Den
yer last week to tell the voters of
Prowers county how to vote. The Post
is afraid to trust the local democratic
papers and is sending its paid editors
all around to see the work is done to
suit the taste of Tam and Bon. With
secret committees appointed from
Washington to run the campaign and
Post editors to furnish the dope there
is nothing left to the rank and file but
just to vote as they are told. The
stuff dished out by the wandering
editor had a familiar ring to it-but
there was a missing note. He had
the same old long family history and
slush about Jimmy holland and Char
ley Leckenby, but Hubbard's spasm
was missing. Perhaps Leslie has too
much family history-surplus of wives
sometimes cause n bad mix-up in per-
sonal write-ups-or maybe Leslie got
wise and quit paying. Anyway Jim
my and Charley were about the whole
show.
