CALVIN COOLIDGE
To The Voters of Colorado

State Central committee has just is
sued an address to the voters of Colo
RADIO, in language unmistakable in
meaning, that is calculated to open
the eyes of the formers of the state
To tn" real purpose and object OF the
Non-partisan League. In this address
the chairman openly charges that
James NJ. Colli~s has selected "St.
Paul, the home of Townley, Socialist
president of the League. as his reposi-
tory of trust" He then asks this very
pertinent question:
win, if Collins is elected governor,
the capital of Colorado still be Den
yer or will the state archives be NOV
ed to st. Paul, Minnesota ?" and then
adds: I'VE cannot, in all seriousness
see st. Paul become a mandatory for
the State of Colorado"
Some may regard the statements
and expressed fearg of the chairman
rs groundless, but those who do, have
not been keeping in touch with the
public utterances and statements of
Mr.. Collins and his League associates.
The chairman of the Republican state
central committee las. He calls at
tention to letter written by Mr.. Col
l:ns to State Senator Agnes Riddle,
and quotes therefrom the closing lines,
in exact reproduction of Mr.. Collins
writing and signature, as follows:
II HAD RATHER TAKE MY
CHANCES WITH THE BOYS UP AT
ST. PAUL. THAN WITH SOME
OTHERS"
Who are the boys up at St. Paul in
whom Mr.. Collins places such implicit
confidence? Tha headquarters of the
Non-partisan League is located in st.
Paul. and is in charge of Mr.. Town
ley, who was convicted by jury in
a court of competent jurisdiction, of
disloyalty to his country during the
late world war. He is the same
Townley who lvailed himself of the
Bankruptcy Act to avoid paying his
too trusting creditors their just de-
mands Mr. Collins may be satisfied
to take his chances with such men,
but do the people of our state enter
tain the same feeling? Would the
business affairs of Colorado be safe in
such hands?
However Mr.. Collins is not alone in
the purpose to "make st. Paul a man
datory for the State of Colorado"
Other members of the Non-Partisan
League in Colorado are evidently
cherishing the came hope.
THE DENVER LABOR BULLE-
TIN which claims to be the Official
paper of Organized Labor in Colorado
and the Rocky Mountain Region" on
September 18th. last, gave front page
space to the following:
MON PARTISANS CAPTURE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN DENVER
AND COLORADO"
Then, after gloating over the COM
plete defeat in the primary of the
Democratic party. it made this very
significant statement:
THE ORGANIZATION Demo
cratic) WAS CAPTURED BY THE
NON PARTISAN LEAGUE. IT WILL
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE
CAMPAIGN, FUNCTION AS A
CLASS PARTY DIRECTED FROM
OUTSIDE THE STATE BY A SAL
AIRED ORGANIZATION CENTER
ING AT ST. PAUL"
There we have it. The campaign OF
Mr.. Collins and his Nonpartisan as
sociate candidates, is being directed
by salaried organization centering al
st. Paul, directed by Mr.. Townley, the
disloyal citizen and debt-dodger and
hic radical associates at st. Paul, the
same Townley who was the head OF
the Socialist state organization OF
North Dakota and boasts of being 6
Socialist.
Must Colorado be made a seconC
North Dakota. whose farmers are
fleeing to other states to get away
from the exorbitantly high taxes thai
