Grown For | nHwe Oouiauy DAILY SENTINEL , GRAND JUNCTION , COLORADO THE DAILY SENTINEL Office of Publication. Sentinel Building, 547 Main St., Grand Junction. Colo. Entered at the Postoffice in Grand Junction, Colo., as Second Class Matter. I. N. BUNTING, Editor and Owner WALTER WALKER, City and News Editor. SUBSCRIPTION RATES Mail or Carrier, one year in advance $5.00 Mail or Carrier, one month in advance 50 ADVERTISING RATES ON APPLICATION Using the Mails in Politics The republican county central committee is sending out great quanti ties of mammoth postals, under a congressional frank of Hon. H. C. Lou denslager of New Jersey, attacking the political career of William Jen nings Bryan. If the sending of these postals is within the pale of the law govern ing franked matter, we want to say right now that it is the most gigantic lraud ever perpetrated upon the people. Loudenslager made some remarks reflecting upon Mr. Bryan in con gress which were printed in the Congressional Record on the 29th of May of this year. These remarks have been reprinted upon this postal card, to gether with four outline maps of the United States showing what states have left the democratic column since Mr. Bryan became the practical head of the party. We question very much if the maps were a part of the Con gressional Record; but they are here reprinted with the article being the leraarks of this same Loudenslager. Now this attack upon Mr. Bryan was also published in the New York World and this card so states; but why the statement that the article was printed in the New York World should appear on matter that has been franked through the government mails we cannot conceive. We absolutely believe that it is a gross violation of the great privilege granted congress men to transmit matter relating to congress free through the mails. On the front of the giant postal, in a small box where usually appears the little return card, is the sentence "Part of Congressional Record Free." This card bears the postmark of Grand Junction. It has evidently been received here in great quantities and has the signature of Louden slager appearing where the stamp usually appears, having been transmit ted through the mails free of all charge. If such a campaign document may be sent through the mails, be cause perhaps a part of what is contained thereon was spoken in the halls of congress, but the whole of which contents were not part of the record printed, then we say that the government is lending itself to a fraud; that the representative is stretching the great privilege of franking, and that it is an underhand and despicable manner of attack. Perhaps Loudenslager may have the right to have repeated upon a card what was printed in the Congressional Record or what he may have said in a speech. But we know that such speech was not illustrated by maps, nor did Mr. Loudenslager have the right to make reference on this franked public matter that it had been printed in the New York World. Can men of sense and judgment wonder that anarchists and socialists! are being created in this country in great numbers each year when such gross violation of a privilege accorded for certain specific purposes is 1 abused by congressmen and senators and made to do duty in a campaign ? It is also a great surprise that such language as Loudenslager made j use of against Mr. Bryan should have been given publication in the Con gressional Record. In what manner it could bear upon public measures j we cannot for the life of us see. Anyhow, it is being used for strictly political purposes and sent through the mails with the frank of the Hon. Mr. Loudenslager upon same to save postage to the republican campaign committees. ** The subject of the remarks is “Twelve Years of Bryan." This matter 1 runs down on the right hand side of the postal lengthwise, and then be &ide this article or rather extracts from the Journal, appear the maps | showing what is purported to have been the effect of the leadership of : Mr. Bryan. All that an intelligent American has to do on seeing that postal is to put his wits together to understand that this is simply one of the thou sand ways the republican party has of perpetuating itself in power. It is {* shame, a piece of successful thievery from the government, to which Mr. Loudenslager has loaned himself. While he may technically be within the pale of the law governing in such cases, it is nothing more nor less than 1 away that the republican party has of using the government mails to J send out campaign matter. Fostmaster Price undoubtedly stamped the Grand Junction postmark I upon that great quantity of post cards with undisguised glee: but Post- \ master Price, who poses with a number of other gentlemen in the repub lican party as men of high character and honor, knows that the post card 1 was a deliberate fraud, which had no rights to the mails free of duty. i This is one of hundreds of other violations which must bring the downfall of the republican party, which has been in power so long that it believes it owns every avenue of the government and that it is main- j tained solely for the benefit of that* party. If you get one of these postals, see if what we have said is not the truth. Teddy’s “Dreyfus” Theodore Roosevelt has had his way of creating an "American Drey fus." Col. Stewart, the hermit officer who has been marooned upon a practical desert for the past few years, will he retired from the service of the army because President Roosevelt don’t like him. Nowhere has it l been found, or is it a matter of record, for what reason Col. Stewart has been isolated from the rest of the army. No charge has ever been made against him, save irascibility. Now. it might be true that Col Stewart had said at some time or another that Teddy was not the real hero of San Juan hill. Or. again, it may he true that Col. Stewart knew that Richard Harding Davis was the Roosevelt war correspondent for Teddy and kept his name in the limelight. Or. perhaps, someone has said to Ted dy that Col. Stewart gave th6 credit of the victory at San Juan hill to the Fort Douglas (Salt Lake City) regiment that really did storm San Juan 1 hill. Any one of a half dozen reasons might be suggested why Col. Stewart had incurred the enmity of President Roosevelt and why he has persist ently pursued Stewart, like a Comanche Indian, until finally he has run Stewart (when he found he could not make him resign) up against the army medical hoard, who have discovered that Stewart has a weak heart. This same Col. Stewart has been riding anywhere from 10 to’ 30 miles a day for a number of years and walking from 4 to 10 miles a day, yet this complaisant medical board has found that he has a weak heart. Well, it is the beginning of the constitutional monarchy that Nicky Longworth spoke of in his Rock Island speech. When it becomes necessary, the Republican of Denver, which is prized by a very few ultra-conservatives in Denver and throughout the state for its extreme conservatism and because also of its entire and wholly unselfish devotion to the corporate power of the state, can become the vilest sheet in the state of Colorado. It dees not stop at misrepresentation whatever. It goes far beyond anything of that sort —it lies, lies maliciously and be comingly: but it continues to lie throughout any campaign in which it takes an interest. Senator DeLong is being taken to a far distant part of the state to do his campaigning. The republican committee desires that he be given such sections in which to campaign as will not be acquainted with his railroad rate bill record From the understanding we have of the constiution that governs the Grand Army of the Republic organization, it is that no partisan politics are allowed. But it seems that the republican party of Colorado holds a mortgage of some kind on the state organization, for the party is sending out members of the Veterans’ Association and attempting to capture votes for that party under the name and the prestige of the G. A. R. organiza tion. Several old soldiers came to the Sentinel office yesterday and pro tested against the manner in which their organization was being used. There is a decided sentiment gaining ground every day that therei should be a change in the personnel of the commissioners* board. No laises the question of the ability and capacity of the gentlemen named by the democrats to succeed John Hypes and William Ditman. Certainly Albert Bessire and Mr. Humeston measure up in business capacity and mentality with the two retiring men. The democratic party has promised and committed itself to giving the people a court house. Let us have the change. DEMOCRATIC TICKET. For President: WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN of Nebraska.
