WE in receipt of two kilograms from Mr. Phpps
gleefuy announcing that he Andrew Mellon think
they going to do something for silver certainly
hope but would have confidence matter if
they had given it attention at date distant
general election.
OUR forefathers fought against without rep
resehtaonA We would fight today any foreign or do
mestc force should attempt deprive the ballot
Yet in the last presidential only per cent of
eligible citizens voted and in primary elections
than 25 cent cast their ballots This Indifference to
of fundamental civic menace to repre-
sentative government Those who deliberately disfran-
chise themselves unworthy of citizenship.

THE following quotation by Arthur Brisbane might
interest some people who think government control of
railways is purely most radical" movement No one
will admit that the Canadians among radical class:
la Follettes says Canada has reduced freight
rates agricultural products prices prevailing before
the war And yet she pays her railroad
pay them in this country that RAILWAYS owned
by the Canadian people have changed deficit of 81 mil
lions in 1921 under private management surplus
than 20 millions 1929 under government owner
ship. How do you explain THAT?
Here the government can't manage anything appar-
emily 1t can't even manage to keep its high en-
ployees from stealing its own naval reserves"
LOOKING at the situation from every view point, it
that the people of Colorado will be safer in
voting for La Toilette and Wheeler for President and
Adams and shafroth for the senate than other
We disagree utterly those who say La
1ette for Coolidge because forsocth if the
ton to Congress- this state could and would its
for Coolidge What difference would it make if
did? In the electoral college this states six might
be potent In the house they reduced and
that utterly impotent for the house
dent Five states have vote neither party can
muster majority Of the states But the and
will elect vice president is almost certain to
be Bryan. We should play for this big stake The per-
centage is all in favor
FOR unexplanable friend Webster
Whnney who running for Congress against Ed Taylor
is electing make the tariff very prominent ISSUE if
the only His chief argument is that Ed Taylor
voted against the Fordney McCumber tariff bill If
understand the sentiment of Colorado people they would
be about $50 against that bill if they understood it, The
bill blanket covering nearly 5000 items. Prac
ticay all aided the who supply Colorado people with
goods to skin them numerically Perhaps it is republi
ethics and principle to skinnng matches for
their friendswe recall that Mellon it with his
reduction bbut the people usually resent the treat
times think Ed Taylors great popularity is based
the fact that he selected carefully those forms of i'm
position to support and which to oppose Perhaps
should say that personally opposed to tariff
tion except instance of revenue production. We
have always believed with James G. Blaine, Gin a tariff
which leads ultimate free trade" Also recognized
long that the tariff Gen Hancock declared ais
local issue" In this connection Ed Taylor supports
tariff He also contrary to Mr.. Whnnerys sup
porters statements, supported tariff hides. The
tariff but that hides defeated by
Taylor and his other western colleagues but by the
Lodges and the like from manufacturing New England
who cheap hides and dear shoes The French
Talleyrand said that Tariff taxation
cd for extracting the largest amount of feathers
with the least amount of squeal 1t is also the
medium for the wickedest discrimination between
classes of people. Ed Taylor knows that, has
voted and worked to keep Colorado citizens nearly
possible in equitable position: So long as we utilize
the tariff FOR PROTECTION, part of the people are
ing robbed to enable the others-usualy small number
to unduly prosper. Unless miss guess Mr. whin-
making promises tariff matters which he would
deeply regret it for the patent he will
not for yet be in position redeem them
The tariff, best bunco stuff invented cobweb
protection and bulwark against general prosperity Mr.
Whnnery is not fortunate in his selection
else is being mstreated by his political advisers
