Washington Letter,
By Edward Keating,
Conjjressmuu-ivt-Liw'lf©
From Colorado.
In the first speech of his cam
paign, Dr. Hurbert Work, Repub.
lican candidate for United States
senator from Colorado, is report
ed to have used the following
language.
“Our representatives return
from Washington vowing allegi
ance to the “Wilson policies”.
What we of Colorado are most
anxious to hear about are the
“Thomas policies” and "Keating
policies”.
Evidently Dr. Work does not
read the Congressional Record or
he would discover that the “Wil
son Policies” and the “Thomas
Policies” and the "Keating. Po i
cies” are identical.
President Wilson has said that
the success, of his administration
was due to “team work” be
tween the legislative and execut
ive branches of the government.
Congress has stood by the pres
ident and the president has sup
ported Congress and both have
endeavored to keep the pledges
the Democratic party made to the
people of this country two years
ago.
The people are so well pleased
with the work performed, that
they want two more of it. They
know that if Dr. Work is elected
to the Senate he will co-operate
with Penrose and Gailiger and
Smoot and other Senatorial re
actionaries for the purpose of
hampering the president and
discrediting his administration.
They also know that if the Re
publican Congressional candidat
es in Colorado are successful they
will come down to Washington as
cogs in the Standpat machine
and that they will be found stand
ing shoulder to shoulder with the
Cannons, the Manns and the
Mondells in the lower house.
THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE.
Dodge as they may, squirm as
they may, explain as they may,
our Republican friends in Colo
rado cannot escape the real issue
before the voters.
Every man or woman who
casts a ballot in the Centennial
state on November 3 must answer
the question.
“Do you want to sustain Presi
dent Wilson and his policies or
do you want to repudaite Presi
dent Wilson and his policies?”
So far as the senatorial and
congressional candidates are con
cerned, that is all there is to the
Colorado campaign.
Having frankly given Dr.
Work the information he desired
concerning the “Thomas Policies
” and the “Keating Policies”,
I wonder would he be good
enough to enlighten us concern
ing the “Work Policies”? And
where does he stand on the
“Taft policies” and the “Cannon
Policies” and the “Aldrich Poli
cies”?
While the good doctor was “fir
ing the first gun” of his camp
aign, he did not mention any of
the national leaders of the Re
publican party.
Is it possible he is ashamed of
Taft and Cannon and Aldrich?
Or does he really admire them
but fear to give voice to his ad
miration?
CHEYENNE WELLS, CHEYENNE COUNTY, COLORADO, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1914.
A PROGRESSIVE TRIBUNE.
Here is a Progressive's tribute
to Woodrow Wilson. Arrhur R.
Rupley is Congressman-at.large
from Pennsylvania. He is the
trusted friend and devoted fol
lower of Theodore Roosevelt.
In a recent speech in the House
Mr. Rupley discussed the presi
dent’s foreign policy in part as
follows.
“Mexico perpetually revolutio
nary, disturbed our peace. Our
own people and the European
nations cried for armed interven
tions. A big figure in the worlds
arena stood nearly alone for a
firm policy and one of “watchful
wailing”-a policy which'has pre
vented war, much dreaded,
and which has made this country
the formost peace nation on the
globe.
Would we wish it to be said
that this great continental war
started with the United States of
American engaging in conflict
with a sister Republic, Mexico,
and finally spreading toGermany
England, France, Austria, Rusia
Belgium’ Servia, Montenegr-,
and Japan? That the young Re
public of the Western Hemi
sphere moved by a restless de
sire for war against a weaker
Republic, communicated this
war germ to the Eastern Hemis
phere, resulting in the greatest
war in the history of the world
and the greatest step backward
in the history of civilization?
Or would you have the United
States of America as it is to-day.
Through its ministers abroad
although our embassies are sur
rounded by swords, and guns,
canons, shrieks, and groans of
the dying upon the battle-fields:
the guardian Angel of all the
people of world at war is the one
trusted power-the one power on
which the eyes of the world are
forced to carry on the obligations
brought on by this frightful car
nage?
The American flag does nojt
appear upon many ships, but that
flag to-day appears upon the
breasts of the German in Russia,
the Russian jn Germany the
German in France, and the
Frenchman in Germany, the Ger
man in Great Britain, and the
Englishman in Germany, and the
German in the Japanies Empire
and the Japanese, in the German
Empire-to all of whom it affords
safety and protection, Is not
this glory sufficient for our flag.
VOTERS READ THIS.
Amendment No. 1, which will ap
pear on the November election is one |
of the most dastardly attempts ever
made by tlie special Interests to hobble
the free use of the initiative and refer
endum.
Every friend of popular government
should strongly oppose this proposed
amendment (No. 1 on the ballot) as
it is a restriction upon the free and
untrampled exercise by the people of
the reserve powers by voting their con
demnation of Amendment No. 1.
The proposed restriction provides
as follows,
“Whenever any measure initiated
the authority of this section shall be
rejected at such election, sucn measure
or any other measure of the same sub
stance, character or purpose or design
to accomplish the same end, either di
rectly or indirectly, and eitner by
State Legislation or by amendment to
. the Constitution, shall not be initiated
nor shall any petition thereof be filed
for submission at any election held
within six years from the election at
which rejected measure was submitted.
Ah an illustration in Jie present
election, should Amendment No. 1
curry, und should Prohibition Amend
ment (No. 2) also carry there is noth
in# to prevent the liquor corporations
from initiating a new law to re|>eul the
Prohibition amendment at the next
election.
Hut should Amendment No. 1. carry
and the state-wide prohibition amend
ment be defeated, then a measure pro
viding for stat.-wideprohibitioncould
not be initiated or submitted within
six years, or until 11120.
The origin of Amendment No. I, of
course, is known by ull to have been
primarily conceived in the interests
of the brewery and whiskey gang as
other special interests in order to per
petuate the saloon in Colorado just
as long as possible.
Vote "‘No’’ on Amendment No. 1.
The above article was sent us by the
Y. M. C. A. of Denver.
William D. Reilly, of Kiowa,
Democratic nominee for state
senator, was a pleasant visitor at
this office last Saturday evening.
Mr. Reilly is a businessman of
Kiowa, he has been in business
there for the past nineteen years
and his name is thoroughly en
graved on the hearts of all those
in his community as a public ben
efactor, and a man that will work
for the interests of his fellow
man. Mr. Reilly is meeting with
much encouragement from the
voters of the district, he has
been out canvassing about three
weeks and his success at the
polls is a foregone conclusion.
Mr. Reilly possesses all the req
uisites for being an able repre
sentative of the people. His ac
quaintance with the needs and
wishes of the people could not
be better and he is the best qual
ified man to send to the state
house as the first real state sen
ator from Eastern Colorado.
Many of the Republicans are
going down the line for Reilly be
cause they believe in putting a
man into office who will not do
injustice to his best friends.

Thursday of last week was
meeting day of the Ladies Social
Circle they met at the Chapel in
tending to paint the chairs, but
as our town was being honored
with the presence of several of
the higher railroad officials. The-
L. S. C. members were also hon
ored with the privilege of invi
ting the honorables to lunch with
them, they accepted the invita
tion and seemed more than de
lighted with the spread of good
things, they showed their appre
ciation by announcing to the la
dies that they might name the
sight for the new depot they are
going to erect for us in the fu
ture. They were also looking af
ter other improvements. Let the
good work go on.
Grandma Walker has been very
poorly for several days, there
seems to be no improvement at
this writing. It appears that it
means only a question of hours
how long she will be permitted
to be on earth, although we are
never ready to give our loved
ones up, we cannot help but
know see has served a long mis
sion here on eaith and it really
seems it will be a grand thought
to know she will soon receive her
reward in Heaven, and leave this
world of sadness. She lacks on
ly a few months of being one
hundred years, and how that
makes us feel, how carei'ui we
should be in our actions toward
the older people. Think of the
wonderful things this dear old
lady has done in those numbers
of years, how many good deeds
she has done to others, and have
we all done our best to make her
last days full of sunshine.
Later: She died on Tuesday,
and was buried on Thurday at 10
o’clock a. m. Obituary next
