COLLINS AND SHOUP

The candidates who were al
lowed a voice in the matter and
the hold-over officials of the two
old parties with the assistance of
some of the leading politicians
have, as by law required, gone
thru the formality of drafting the
party platforms. 1t is now up to
each voter to analyze the situa-
tion and decide how his vote will
be cast 1t is waste of time to
enter into an argument upon
which platform is the best.
Neither will be seriously consid-
cred by the rank and. file of the
voters and both were drawn with
the sole purpose of getting votes.
There is no getting away from
the fact that the only real issue
at stake is, shall we elect Collins
or Shoup? Do we favor private
monopoly of public utilities and
special privilege, or are we op-

are needed. A nation that ceases

Ireland and the League

There is no phase or feature of
the whole plan of the League of
Nations which is more explicit
than that which deals with the
self-determination of the peoples
of the earth. Before the League of
Nations was devised came the
armistice. That was founded up
on fourteen principles, and major
among them was the principle of
self-detrmination.
"The philosophy was that the
League of Nations desired not on
ly the peace of the world now, but
continuing peace. The provision
in Article x against external ag-
gression was to protect the small
err nations against the bullying at
titude of the big nations. You
can't take the mountains and riv-
ers as boundary lines and try to
break up the homogeneity of a
people and expect them to be hap
py.
81 am in favor of the applica-
tion of the principle of self-deter-
mination in Japan, in China, in
Turkey, in Ireland or anywhere
else. ."-Governor Cox.
Governor Cox showed later that
by the terms of the covenant of
the League of Nations itself CAR
ticle Ky it is declared to be the
friendly right of each member of
the league to bring to the atten-
tion of the assembly or council
any circumstance whatever affect
ing International relations and
good understanding between men,
ber nations, and that when the
United States becomes a member
of the league this nation might,
in all propriety and good feeling,
plead Ireland's cause before the
council of the league.

posed to it? Governor Shoup is
an ideal representative of the re-
dictionary factions who favor
private monopoly and oppose pub
lie ownership of public utilities,
Collins typifies the class which
favors public ownership of all
public utilities and opposes all
special privileges. The people in
the primaries where the issue was
raised and fought out, by an over
whelming majority indorsed Col
Inns and by so doing pledged the
Democratic party to the principles
for which he stood. Incidentally
it might be mentioned that the Re-
publicans in their state platform
went on record as being strictly
opposed to public ownership and
also as favoring it. They oppose
the Collins idea of establishing
warehouses and storeage houses
to prevent big business from
monopolizing the markets and ex-
acting exorbitant profits from the
consumer but are favorable to
state ownership of railway tun-
nels.
None will question the right
and propriety of state ownership
of railway tunnels, but will our
Republican friends explain why
state ownership of railway tun-
nels is right and state ownership
of other public utilities in the in
terest of the people are wrong,
revolutionary and un-American?
If public ownership is desirable
the system should be extended
wherever it is needed. If it is un-
desirable we should return to pri-
vate ownership in all matters. We
have public ownership of schools,
our postoffice system, parcels post
and our public highways, and
many of our cities and towns own
their tramways, their lighting
system, water works and other
public utilities. Would it be bet
ter to have all these things re-
turned to private ownership and
monopoly or would it be better to
extend the system of public own
ership wherever the interests of
the people demand it?
Collins represents change and
progress and the best interests of
the people. Shoup would build a
Chinese wall around our indus
trial system would perpetuate all
of it's evils and make an abject
surrender to the money power.
The issue is clearly defined. Each
citizen must decide for himself
upon which side his vote will be
cast.

SCHOOL NOTES

(By E. S. and G.. F)
Our report cards were given us
on Tuesday afternoon. This ev-
ent caused much excitement
among the students. Groups were
gathered here and there, all talk
ing at once and trying to compare
grades. Altho the marks were
not up to expectations, we have
vowed that we will do our level
best, and bring our marks up to
the highest possible point.
The typewriters, having been
repaired in Denver, have been
placed in the Commercial room,
and the classes have again resum-
ed their work under the close sup
ervision of Miss Altvater. One of
our most trying trials is to keep
our eyes away from the machine
and our fingers. But as the say
ing goes: "If at first you don't
succeed, try, try, again"

CAMPAIGN FUNDS

If we can place any reliance
upon reports coming thru the AS
sociated Press dispatches, the fl
nancial condition of the national
Democratic committee is in de-
plorable condition. Even the Re-
publican press gloats over the
idea that the proposition was SER
iously considered of closing the
doors of the national committee
for the reason that there were no
funds with which to carry on a
proper campaign. Under the cir
cumstances it would not seem to
be necessary for the senatorial
committee which was appointed to
investigate the lavish use of mon
ey in the elections, to spend any
time in investigating the Demo-
Gratis. This may be one of the
reasons why we do not hear any
thing further concerning the ac-
tions of that committee.
But aside from accounting for
the sphinx-like silence of the SEN
atorial committee the scarcity of
Democratic campaign funds pre-
sents other interesting problems
for consideration. The office of
president of the United States is
too important to be overlooked by
the big interests. The candidate
of either Of the old parties who is
friendly to the big interests will
always have plenty of money for
campaign purposes. A shortage
of campaign funds is the strong
est evidence that could be produc-
ed to prove that James M. Cox is
loyal to the interests of the peo-
pie and has not sold out to the
money power. If big business is
trying to buy the presidency it is
evident that they are making no
effort to buy it for Cox. But can
the presidency be bought? Are
the American people so blind to
their own interests that they will
line up behind a candidate who
