BENJAMIN GRIFFIN \
For GOvernOr

The Colorado mining industry is
better protected than at apy time In
the history of the state by the Tariff
Bill just enacted by the Republican
Congress. s
As a result, old mining camps in
Colorado have taken on new life and
the population Of all sections will be
benefited.
The Republican congressman and
Senators from Colorado. strongly
supported by the Republican state
organization. have saved Colorado
miners from ruInous competition Of
Asiatic, African and South American
mines. This was accomplished In the
face OF bitter opposition by the Dem
ocrat'c party, which expects the Col
orado miner eIthsr To live on the
same Level iis Chinese cOOlie miner
or else Iliii business n favor Of for
eign interests.

The Republican immigration bill
has prevented an influx of cheap for
eign labor to compete with Colorado
miners In the gold and silver camps,
which remain strictly "white men's''
camps.
Every Colorado voter directly or
Indirectly Interested In mining
should remember the attempt Of the
Democratic party to hand over the
country's mining industry TO Asia
