The Republican party should con.
tinue the management of state
affairs, ne can hark back over any
number Of years and not find as per
feet business management as has
prevailed under the Shoup admins
tration. This is because business
men have been handling things. 1t is
all right to talk reforms. but those
who yell the loudest for some mex
perienced men for public offices
would not take their Tin Lizzie to a
bum blacksmith to fix the carburetor,
nor yet would they hire bricklayer
to adjust the spring of their watch.
The State of Colorado is great cor.
poration. Every taxpayer is one of
its stockholders. All have an equal
right. to select those who shall man,
age the affairs of this great corpora
ton, and looking at the benefit that
will accrue TO them because of eff
cient management, ia harmony with
careful expenditures, they will select
the character of men now in office.
This they would do as stockholders

vator or a sugar factory. The same
thing applies, and to the same exteut,

AS the Republican Assembly draws
nearer, outside of the senatorial race,
it appears there will be but few con-
tests, and possibly no contests in the
primary. There is no opposition to
Governor Shoup. Indeed his nomina-
ton and election are regarded as
certain. There is practically no op-
position to the nomiation of Lieuten-
ant Governor Stephan, and while he
is not seeking the place, he will no
doubt be drafted. Acting Governor

ness OF the Governor, he has proven

COX DOES NOT LIKE
HARDlNG'S PLAIN QUESTIONS

Governor Cox has been asked by the
newspaper correspondents what mis-
answer Is to Senator Harding's spe-
cific questions on the details of Mr..
Wilson's foreign policy which Cox
accepts. And Governor Cox is quot
ed as giving for his answer to those
plain questions of Harding the declar-
alton that he does not intend to en-
gage in telegraphic debate with the
Republican nominee.
Governor Cox naturally does not
like Harding's plain questions. But
If he doesn't answer them, whether
by telegraph, telephone, wireless.
typewriter or printers ink, Cox will
have a ballot box collision with the
American people.
Harding says he is against Mr.
Wilson's Article X which would bind
us to use our military forces against
any peopel obiecting to partition or
boundary lines imposed upon them
by the League.
Harding says he is against Mr.
Wilson's demand for an American
mandate for Armenia.
Harding says he is against Mr..
opposition to Italy in the Adriatic.
Harding says he is against Mr..
Wilson's policy Of putting Greek
majority of population under the dom,
ination of Bulgarian minority.
Harding says he is against every
one of these Wilson commitments
and that he is against the whole
Wilson covenant unless 1t has proper
and necessary notifications.

has got to say something TO some
body? He can not keep silent ON

It becomes the duty of the Republi-
cans in every county in the state to
name the ablest men they can find
for the legislature In fact this is
year when men who say they Can
not afford to leave their business
to go to Denver for matter Of sixty
days, must be made to see that it is
their duty to forget self and business
and take hand in the management
of civic affairs. There has been some
thing of systematic movement for
many years to prevent the best men
going to the legislature, and in con-
sequence many have slipped into that
body who were not qualified by edu
cation, breeding or inclination to pass
upon the necessity or value Of legis,
1ation. The country needs. and must
have, the very best men in the legis-
lature, and it is clearly up to the
Republicans to see that they go.

6. The divergence Of hundreds
OF millions of the peoples money
for the exploitation Of the South
ern States, exemplified in the
past few years by the fixing OF
special sugar prices for Southern
sugar growers, the expenditure OF
$7O,OOO,00O for an all-but-useless
nitrate plant in Alabama, and the
waste of other millions in the de-
velopment of insignificant water
ways throughout that section of
the country
7. A continuance of the factors
that contribute to the high cost Of
living, such as currency initiation
under the Federal Reserve Sys-
tenn, gross governmental extrava-
gance, and tax laws that discour-
age industry and stifle produc-
tion.
s.. A continuation of a postal
inefficiency that puts an indirect
tax of millions upon the peopls
annually.
9. The possible cancellation IF
the $10,000,000 debt owed to us by
foreign governments, under the :
to hostile influence of the lea
que of nations council, which sum
then would have to be raised by
taxation of our own people.
10. The encouragement of Boil
shevism by extreme leniency to-
ward alien radicals in our own
country and the removal of trade
restrictions with Russia-policies
that may well cost us untold lives
and treasure in the future de-
tense of our civilization.

the proposed obligation be made
known. Here are some Of the items
included in the total: y
1. Acceptance OF all the OBJ
legations Of the league Of nations

means the immediate raising of
billions of dollars and the sacri-
fices OF American soldiers and
sailors to restore peace at ap.
proximately twenty-five points on

are now raging.
2. Acceptance of mandate
over Armenia costing hundreds ut
millions of dollars and necessitat-
ing the maintenance of a huge
army thousands OF miles from Our
shores.
8. A continuation OF the orgy
OF extravaganza in which the
Democratic administration al
ready has wasted billions OF the
peoples money.
1. The appointment Of federal Of
ficeholders, from cabinet men,
bers down, solely from political
considerations, involving untold
cost to the taxpayers in loss OF
efficiency.
s. A continuation of the supine
attitude Of the law-enforcipg
