Direct legislation is making or re l pealing law by the people directly When the legislsture sofnase ...| enact or repeal measures the people ¢ mey do these things directly, regard less of the legislature, by the initia- l tive. To initiate is to start f When the legislature paseses measures the people do not want the | referendum will prevent thew trom becoming laws. The referendum is to stop watil referred to the people. To initiate a law by the people under the amendment which is sub mitted at this election, is to prepare and have a petition signed by eight V cent, of the voters of the state When properly signed, such petition is filed with the secretary of state. He will submit the initiated meas wres for the to upon at the next mm o Under this amendment, all meas ures passed by the legislature and signed by the governor become laws unless a petition signed by five per cent of the voters ask that they be M’Hfldl t«;lh next election for ap proval or nnnm-l.

It! has not. That debt was ordered paid by the past republican la'id--‘ ture, the bill signed by McDonald and the legacy of some seven hund red thousand dollars left for the voters to foot the bills. These war rarts now under consideration were illegal warrants for excess appro riations which the so-called “Rob {mr Scventh” made twenty years ago s l R A Hoffwan, field secretary of the Colorado Prison Assn. made his annual visit to Gunnison this week, and collected a good many dollars for that laudable emterprise which assists the unfortunates who issuve {rom our state reformatones getting started upon level ground once they are out from the walls Mr Hoff man also addressed the high school and grammar school upon phases of the rescue work.

Editor News-Champion, Gunnison, Colo. 1 am enclosing herewith some cards of Attorney General Bar et jor distribution among peo ple coming into your town and around the hotels, as well as to vour personal friends. 1 am very much interested in General Barnett's reelection, as he has made a splendid record -*: office, i y asa of the Brate Land Board and the Board of irh. tion. It ie well known tit was mainly through hie efiorts that the var ious connties throughout the state received their just share in the distribution of railroad taxes in this administration, instead of Demver receiving the largest share on acconnt of terminal propertien, as hervetofore. Many people overlook the fact that there are good candidates on the ticket other than the head and knowing that you want %o wee that Mr. Barnett receives his due proportion of votes, 1 take this method of acquainting my friends in the various counties with the fact that 1 shall conmwid or an a personal favor anything ‘they can do to secure the reelec tion of Mr. Barnett. Thaunking you for your atten tion to this matter, | am, Yours Truly, B. L. JEFFERSON. Every effort, every energy and | every trick of politics in to be | used at the last moment to do»‘ feat Deacon Hurley. Not be-| cause they have anything against him or can say anything, lmt‘ they think it may be possible to secure this important office by trading half a dozen of their can didates. Don’t buy a gold brick by trading. Don’t be deceived by any promises. The domwl cratic candidates are standing solidly together and the Deacon should get every democratic ivn\o. He will get them, too, and lalso many republican votes | where he has pleased by his cour |tesy and good conduct of the | office. | The first fellow you hear com. | plaining about the cost of the jextra mession, ask him if it 'nnloum«i to over ten cemts |apiece for us.
