PARTY PLATFORMS

1t is very probable that the Re-
publican platform will be written
by the committee of I'll before the
convention meets and adopted
without serious opposition. So
far the only objections to this
plan comes from Senator Borah,
of Idaho, and Senator Johnson,
of California, but owing to the
first-class condition of the "steam
roller" of the party, it is very
doubtful if they will be given a
voice in framing the platform.
Whether these leaders will quiet
ly submit to being ignored in
their party councils or will de-
eide to bolt the convention, the fu-
ture alone can determine.
So far as harmony is concerned
in relation to the platform, the
position of the Democrat party is
in marked contrast to that of the
Republican party. 1t is certain.
even at this early date, that the
platform adopted by the Demo-
Gratis will not be "a cut and dried
affair" Judging from the present
outlook, the platform adopted at
the San Francisco convention will
depend upon the outcome of one
of the most bitter struggles which
the party has experienced during
it's existence.
Many of the great leaders of
the party hold widely divergent
views upon the issues of the day.
Some will strongly advocate gov
ernment ownership of all private
monopolies, while others will be
just as insistent in their opposi-
tion to such a course. Also upon
the prohibition and many other
questions, there will be a wide
diversity of opinions. Can all
these warning factions be recon-
ciled or harmony result from all
these discordant notes? The task
would seem to be an impossible
one.
Can the Colorado Democrats
agree with the Democrats of New
Jersey upon the liquor question
Can those who favor government
ownership of public utilities agree
with those who favor private mon
opolies? The views that will
be held by different factions can

he Is on the rim of the world. Some OF
the turns are so sharp 1t Is impossible
TO see 20 feet ahead, and We seem to
be perilously near the jumping Off
place. We wonder IL 1t Is safe to lean
out and peer into the canyon far below.
and when we do we are perfectly sat
isfied we are flirting with death. Yet
the trip Is a safe one, providing our
driver has better nerves than our own.
All too soon We reach the outskirts
OF BaguiO, city among the clouds,
and are rather surprised at the modern
city we find 1t to be. In ten years Ba-
guio has grown from a village of huts
to the now justly famed mountain re-
so&t OF the Philippines, sometimes call
ed the Philippine Simla. 1t is un-
dOubtedly destined some day to become
large city.
Baguio ranges in elevation from
4.5OO to $500 feet and Is surrounded
practically on all sides by high noun
tain ridges and "hOgsbacks" towering
into the skies ut height Of almost
5000 feet.
Aside from the scenery, which Is
noteworthy, the great blessing of Ba-
guio Is Its temperate climate, which Is
indeed II godsend to those impoverish-
ed by the tropical temperatures of the
lowlands. Not only is the mountain
air rich In ozone, but 1t has been DEM
onstrated to be extraordinarily free.

Each year during the hot season the

spend month ut the teachers camp
In Bagulo for recreation and confer

not be reconciled and should not
be compromised. The Democratic
party has come to the parting of
the ways. 1t must get rid of the
influence which the money power
has exerted over it in the past and
come out openly and squarely for
the people or else abandon itself
body and soul to the private mon
opolies and the special privileged
class of the country. No party
can serve two masters. The two
roads lie in different directions.
Which one will the Democratic

COMMUNICATION
To the Hon. w. J. Stull,
Editor of tho Cilnin oh

Editor of the Gilpin Observer.
In behalf of myself and the
other candidates on the Citizens
ticket, l wish to thank the people
of Central City for their hearty
support given us in the recent ell
ection. l cannot but believe the
real reason for our defeat was
the raging snow storm that pre-
vented many of our supporters.
particularly the elder ones, from
coming out.
take this opportunity to make
a few remarks regarding the Citi-
zens ticket and why it was placed
in the field. First, everybody
knows that for the past few years
the condition of the sewers and
sidewalks was such that they
were not safe or sanitary, and the
existing city council made no eff
fort to repair or improve the
same. Second, knowing such con-
ditions existed and that it was
impossible to interest outside par
ties in our resources, a few pub
lie spirited citizens, without any
other motive than the welfare of
the city at heart, met and talked
the situation over, and decided to
place a Citizens ticket in the field.
Third, l personally consulted
three of our leading attorneys re-
garding the legality of the Repub-
lican ticket and they one and all
said that they believed that the
nomination of said ticket was il
legal.
Now, having given my views
and the views of others on the
conditions that led to the birth of
the Citizens ticket, l would like
to make few remarks regarding
several articles published in the
Register-Call: When our ticket
first came out, the clean sheet and
the printers devil concocted in
their fertile brains some mud to
sling, some scheme to beat an
honest, clean ticket. They will
fully lied in stating that the pur-
pose of the Citizens ticket was
to fill the appointive positions
with certain men who neither
sought nor would have accepted
these positions had they been ten
dered them. Last week they false
ly stated that the Citizens ticket
worked early and late. AS far as
l know, no one eXerted themselves
outside of myself. If they had.
| am certain that the result would
have been the other way.
Of course, | have seen the smile
of satisfaction on the face of the
Register-Call editor and devil
alike, but | doubt if it was for the
glory of the success of the Repub-
lican ticket. Was it not, rather
that they still retained the city
printing and that a measly little
sum of $4,000 or $4,000 would
continue to flow into their lean F,
and hungry treasury?
Now, Mr.. Man of the clean
little sheet, l have expressed my
views. | have been upright aAd
honorable in all my dealings with
the public, and if you have any
thing to say regarding myself,
shoot, for | do not believe you can
tell anything the public does not
already know.
Respectfully yours,

the trip to Baguio within the means OF
hundreds of thousands Of FilipinOs.
Not only is there sufficient power in
this river to electrify a line from Ma
nila to Baguio, but to operate the
street railways Of Manila, light the
city and furnish power for manufac-
turing concerns.
But we have now arrived at Camp
One. From this point the scenery
rapidly changes as the elevation in
creases. We are travelling over the
famous Benguet road, the construction
of which through the mountains is a
most remarkable engineering triumph.
AT places the road is blasted out of the
solid granite. Riding on the edge of a
100 foot precipice makes one feel like

we do our full duty that future is
assured but the time to act is
