Denver, Colo. Oct 27-Despite the absence of a United States Senatorial contest in Colorado this Fall, the Con- gressional and State campaigns that showed much apathy in the first few weeks following the elections have - developed widespread interest, and most active campaign ever known in Colorado in off year..
 With varying interpretations by the two major political parties, the lead- ing issue of Law and Order" has brought out bitter criticisms on both sides in connection with the mainten- ance of the State Rangers.
 The Democratic platform, endorsed in it's entirety by William E. Sweet, candidate for Governor, strongly fav- ors the repeal of the Ranger law, while the Republican platform, upon which Benjamin Griffith is passing his cam paign for gubernatorial honors, con- tains a plank strongly endorsing re- tention of the State police law.
 Both Sweet and Griffith have stumped the State and outside speak i CTS of prominence have spoken in seV- eraI cities, Secretary of Labor James l Davis being the leading Republican William Gibbs NcAdoo, former Secre- tary of the Treasury, delivered one Of the principal addresses in behalf ot sweet, and in denOuncing those who < fcharge the Democratic gubernatorial candidate with being a radical with '.Sociahstic" ideas, McAdoo declared that both Theodore Roosevelt and md
 
 charged when they advocated liberal, { Econstructive and forward looking kpolicies."
 Sweet, who is a wealthy banker of sDenver emanates from his advocacy eof State-owned warehouses, The Dem ocratic platform on this question pledges to undertake in a limited and reasonable way the erection and operation of storage warehouses fot farm products" The Republicans charge that this scheme is fashioned after the Non-partisan programme ot North Dakota. While denounc1ng State-owned and State-operated ware houses, the Republican platform de clares for legislation that will ald the farmer to construct, own and operate cooperative warehouses at central dls- tributing points
 Sweet has resulted in little apparent 6iseffection in the Democratic party I+ser. though it is believed to nave rootiyated the formation Of what Is nsIled the Colorado Business MelS Association, an orEanlzatloh lhil hs'' openly denounced sweet -.,z
