congress could not order him to cease
firing. it has managed to compel him
to mark time.
Meantime, the profiteers, feeling se-
cure in the trenches so carefully plan
ned and dug for them by this same
Republican congress, have become
buccaneers. Yes, even worse than
buccaneers, for while the pirates and
highwaymen of old robbed people of
any wealth found upon them, they did
not demand an option on the future
earnings of their victims.
1t is to the Democratic party alone
that our people may turn for redress
and for relief from the expressions
and burdens that have been unloaded
upon us through Republican greed
and misrule. This is not to say that
because man votes the Republican
ticket he is an enemy to good citizen
ship, any more than we may say that
because man votes the Democratic
cket he is entitled to u free passport
t, the Celestial Realms. But the very
foundation of the Republican party is
builded on wealth, and on wealth alone
And no matter how honest and we'll
meaning the ordinary possessor of
great wealth may be, he soon learns
that gold has no conscience and SO
he naturally joins the Republican par
ty.
Here in Colorado at the last election
we felt in full force and weight of this
Republican wealth of gold, just as we
have felt its fayaging touches-more
is the sliame-in previous years. 1t
was but n sample--a spring shower,
as it were-when compared with the
deluge that is to come this fall. Take
my word for that. The Republicans
want this state. And IL money will

the Republicans still will have Stand
ard Oil and the Guggenhcims to fall
back on. st
But will the people of a great state
again allow themselves to be stultilied
and bought st public auctioa7. ab-
soiutely refuse to believe they will.
In fact, KNOW they won't. And L
know, too, that we will win in Colora-
do beyond shadow OF doubt if the
Democrats of Denver will do their
part. I single out the Democrats of
Denver because know that the Dem.
ocrats throughout the state are togeth
er and in better lighting shape and
spirit than in years. In fact, they are
armed: mounted and rearing to go.
But they must have the loyal support
of the Democrats here in Denver. II
the Denver Democrats are to remain u
house divided, we will lose the state
because our allies outside, while loyal
to the core, cannot win the battle alone
II TIN. Denver Democrats will devote
themselves to the selfish endeavor of
placing men above party and party
principles, the fight will Ne lost before
We enter the arena. II the Denver
Democrats are to turn their backs up
on recognized leaders OF real worth he
cause they object, perhaps to the cut
of their hair, or the color of their
neckties, or the style OF their clothes,
or some equally triiling reason, our
banners will go down to q just defeat.
Concerted action, however, fidelity
to party and to candidates. the cast
ing aside of petty personal difference y
and fancied grievances, not to mention
the gassing OF the knockers and mall
contents in our political family circles
will bring victory and prove that we
are worthy in national patty victory

scendants OF the political Messiah in
honor of whose memory we are assem-
blembled tonight. And this is partic.
ularly true Ut this time because the
Republican leaders in Colorado are
SO badly split on a golden .eef thai
there is not enough left of their ship oi
state to salvage.
II the men of the party in Denver
continue to refuse to act together il

We know too that they will put su.
