THE SLUSH FUND

The present tendency of rails
ing ever increasing campaign
funds for the purpose of carrying
our national as well as our state
elections, would naturally sug-
gest the inquiry as to where these
funds come from. According to
the admissions of the leaders of
the Republican party, they have
started drive for a fifteen mill
ion dollar fund, as starter. Do
the rank and file of the party put
up these funds or are they fur
nished by special privilege? We
know that candidates for Office
would probably donate a reason
able amount to their party, but
not the vast sums which are be-
ing spent in recent elections.
To begin with, we can assume
that the wage worker does not
furnish this money. Neither is
any great amount of it furnished
by the farmer. The small busi-
ness man furnishes but little if
any of it. By eliminating all who
do not contribute, we readily see
that those who furnish the money
compose a very small portion of
the people.
The more this question is stud
led, the more irresistible becomes
the conclusions that these fabu-
lous sums are donated by he mon
ey power and come from the spec
ial privileged classes. And why
does special privilege wish to con-
troll this government? Does any
sane man believe for moment
that it is by reason of their pat
riotism? Is it possible that all
of the true patriotism Of our land
is confined to the ranks of greed?
Let us not deceive ourselves.
These men desire to control the
government in order that they
may perpetuate the special privil-
eges which they now have and Sc
cure others. 1t is idle to call the
money they contribute gift: it
is an investment. The Rockefell-
er oil trust can afford to donate
millions to a party that will allow
them to make a small raise upon
the price of a gallon of oil. The
railway companies would give

Legislative Candidates
Get On Primary Ballot

Jay Byron attended district
court at Golden last Saturday as
the attorney for w. o. jenkins
and Louis j. Carter, who had FL
ed petitions in the district court
of Gilpin county, asking for an
order from the court directing the
county clerk to have their names
placed upon the primary ballot.
The order was given by Judge S..
w. Johnson in open court at Col
den.
From what is learned, Judge
Johnson held in effect, that can
didate who had been regularly
designated by legally constitut-
ed assembly and had filed accept
ance for the office had acquired
the right to have his name printed
on the ballot, and mistakes or err
rors whether made by the secre-
tary of state, the county clerk, or
the chairman and secretary of the
assembly, did not deprive him of
his right.
So far as we have heard, this
is the first action of its kind in
which this point has been raised.
Several actions have been brought
to keep candidates off or on the
ticket because the assembly Off
cials had or had not filed the GER
tificates of designation in the
proper place. In view of the fact
that all errors of any officials, in
regard to designations under the
primary law may be corrected by
an order from the district Judge,
this mode of procedure would
seem to be the easiest and best
manner in which to obtain relief

RUNNING ON
TWO PLATFORMS

Among the arguments floating
around on the quiet against the
Farmer-Labor candidates on the
Democratic primary ballot, you
will occasionally hear the remark
that it doesn't seem right for a
candidate to be running on two
platforms. Those who indulge in
this argument either do not un-
derstand or are misstating the
real situation.
State campaigns are not and
should not be run upon national
issues but should be decided upon
state issues. Neither the Demo-
cratic or the Republican party
has state platform in the prim-
ary election. 1t is true that the
state assembly of both parties
passed set of resolutions which
very closely resemble each other,
but the primary law provides
that a few of those who are nom-
mated. consisting of the candi-
dates for the legislature and state
officers and the hold-over sena-
tors, shall meet and make the
platform upon which they run
in the general election, after the
primary election.
The Farmer-Labor party met
under the general law, which
provides that convention may
nominate its candidates and make
its own platform, but not having
cast ten per cent of the entire
vote at the preceding election they
are not party within the mean
ing of the primary law and can
take no part in the primary cleo
tion as such party. Some time
later the Democratic party met
and designated for nomination
some of the Farmer-Labor candi-
dates in the state Democratic as
sembly, notably James NJ. Collins,
Of Weld county. Against him the
old-line politicians named Robert
II. Higgins, well-known Demo-
crat.
But let us make no mistake
about these two men. Mr.. Collins
is not running on two platforms.
He stands squarely upon the plat
form of the Farmer-Labor party
and was endorsed as a designee
for nomination for governor by
the state Democratic assembly.
So far as state issues are con-
cerned, Mr.. Higgins has no plat
form. Should he be nominated
for governor he will make his own

AMERICAN RED CROSS
TO GIVE RURAL HELP
Program for Public Health and
Community Welfare Is Now
Well Under Way.

Rural communities and towns Of less
than 5000 population benefit In very
large part by the public health and
community welfare work of the Ameri-
can Red Cross. Almost all of the
5000 Red Cross chapters have some
rural sections In their territory. There
fore the Red Cross Rural Service.
Briefly, the purpose Of Rural Serv-
ice IL to assist people to get out of life
more health, wealth and happiness. In
this purpose public health instruction
and general educational progress Of
both children and adults play a big
part
Recreation is found to be one Of the
biggest needs in rural life. There Is
lack of sufficient play-life for the chill
dren and social life for the adults.
Picnics, pageants debating clubs,
baseball leagues. community singing
and other social events which bring
the people Of surrounding communities
together have been organized and car
ried on under the guidance Of Red
Cross rural workers to great advnn-
tage. In many instances solving rec
reational problems and getting people
together proves to be the awakening
Of the community to other conditions
which may be improved by united
action.
As result Of community organiza-
tion. townships in which there had
been neither plans nor interest in
community progress have been organ
lied to work together with the unified
purpose Of bringing their community
up to the most enlightened standards.
Lecture and musical entertainment
courses have been started as result
OF community meetings, as well as cir
culating libraries Red Cross schools Of
instruction in Home Nursing, Care of
the Sick and First Aid. In the larger
towns the need for restrooms and pub
lie comfort stations is being met Play
grounds for the children have been
established and recreatIonal activities
worked out for the year.
In order that there may be concerted
effort in carrying on the programs Of
the various welfare agencies In the
rural districts. Red Cross Rural Serv-
ice helps the organizn tons already on
the ground. The main object Of the
service Is to lend a hand everywhere
and take the lead only where neces-
sary.
