ORDER EXTRA COPIES OF
NEW WS-CHAMPION IN ADVANCE

One of the regulations of the War
Board conc" ring weekly newspapers
is that We are not TO print extra
copies" in the expectation that some
one will come in and buy them, in ex-
cess of one per cent of the subscrip-
tiOn list. That makes only ten a week
extra, for tho News Champion and we
frequently have had calls for the en-
tire % copies this office has been in
the habit of saving each week and then
some. This means that when our
friends want extra copies. because Of
wedding, or a funeral, or a party, it
will be necessary to order in advance.
Just phone Is, and leave the order pos
itivcly by Wednesday night. We print
the first half Of the paper Thursday.

IT'S lyman FOR GOVERNOR

During the primary News-Champion
consistently supported Governor Gun
ter for denomination not because We
expected him to win, but for the good
and sufficient reasons that he had been
good war governor and particularly
had shown himself the friend of Gun
nison county This last with the gov
erning reason. We would do it again
tomorrw, for he deserved the support.
However, all that has nothing against
Tom lyman. who is now our demo
cratic candidate for governor. That
is one beauty of the direct primary.
You can support your friends, even
when the nomination was plainly from
the first a political mistake. and then
join the majority with clean hands
and jolly good will.
So here's for lyman, the next gov
ernor of Colorado. There is only one
thing that can defeat him. and that is
the friendship of the Denver Post.

\ TRIUMPH FOR
THE DIRECT PRIMARY

Occasionally we hear people com
plain about the direct primary. Il is
expensive, they say and too much
bother. These forget the evils Of the
old convention system. 4 splendid
example IS the nomination Of Tom
lyman He got a bare ten per cent
of the votes in the democratic state
assembly. Under the old sy,:-n fnis
would have ended Tom, but with the
primary ballot, the voters who wanted
him as their candidate for governor
land they apparently numbered very
large per cent of the democratic rank
and tileJ had the last word, and they
made it effective. After all, isn't It
worth the expense and the trouble?

-OF THE INTERESTS

Surface Creek Champion: The Pa
oman has placed itself in the same
class with the Champion and other
publications which have dared to show
up the Non Partisan League. All be
long TO and have been purchased by
Big Business, according to the
league theory. The league cannot
stand criticism and anyone that does
not agree with its methods is branded
representative of the big financial
interests which have sought to control
the country for years. 4 denial of this
allegation is useless as far as the
League membership is concerned but
like the Paonian we are going to state
that the charges are absolutely false
We recognize the fact that the farmer
is the foundation of our country and
that he has not always received a
square deal, but when he sanctions
the methods used by the League he is
on the wrong track for redress. There
are right and wrong ways of remedy
and the Champion merely feels that
the wrong method is being used at this
time when the country should be work
ing as a unit and not be torn with
class strife.

Denver Ncws:-
If the people Of the United States
of America are perm tied to work out
our own national life without being
amalgamated with intcrnationalism
with the loss Of Amcricanism, we can
in all probability, help bring up grad
ually the lower order of some of the
other nations.
We have been making rapid strides
toward we'll disseminated higher
level of life, generally recognized as
distinctly American.
The evolution to this end was un-
mistakably rapid.
In the midst of the popular cry,
however, of democracy for all the
world, we hear in America under the
slogan of War Necessity" are now
rushing at most dangerous speed to-
ward autocracy.
The ideal balance we were steadily
approaching has suddenly given way
born of Russian depotism.
1t is well to bear in mind that auto
cracy exists the moment any country
is controlled wholly by the higher ups
or wholly by the lower downs.
Sudden transition from either to
the other is revolutionary and anarch-
istic.
The great question for the Ameri-
can people to decide is whether we
shall continue the sound course which
has given our national success the
American brand, or are we about to
revert to medieval procedure, when
the state will completely obliterate
American initiative and American in

That is precisely what the public

sense Of humor imagines The Honor
able Gentlemen mentioned has any
claim to be called a democrat. But
passing that, which was what We

also knows that both Hetherington
and Rawalt deliberately spread the
lie Both of them knew better, Heth-
erington himself being a delegate TO
the assembly, or they have both pass
ed into the stage of senility.
But this is sample of their style
of campaigning. The Empire now
goes further and retails an imagined
street conversation concerning what
the editor of the News-Champion
stated about lyman. All of which is
again gross and unadulerated fabn-
cation.
