VOLUME 5, NUMBER 44
Bought for politically, and they are'J
very likely to perrminenuy rocruit
Ohio's democratic ranks.
In Philadelphia it was a protest
against boss rule and the ruthless
robberies of utility corporations. The
democratic party of tho city supported
what was called tho city ticket, and
to that party, as the organized basis
of tho struggle for reform, tho thou
sands of independent republican
voters railliod and overcame the com
mon enemy.
Tho election of .. romo is another
stinging protest against boss rule
and machine corruption. A domocrat,
he demonstrated what honest and
fearless work of a true democrat can
do for the peoplo, and because he
did Tammany repudiated him. With
out a party back of him, with every
ballot cast for him a scratched ballot,
his election over his Tammany op
ponent is a prodigious victory, preg
nant with good omens for the future.
At tho present time it is impos
sible from the state of the returns
' to say whether Hearst or McClollan
is elected. The latter seems to have
a slight lead, but snould he be de
clared elected Hearst makes It
known that he will contest it, and
thus fight the people's battle to the
end.
Tho vote for Hearst Is a much more
wonderful outcome than the election
of Jerome, for Jerome was made the
nominee of the republican party,
though his name could not be put on
the offlcial ballot, while Hoarst had
no party indorsement. Indeed, it is
known, and the state of Ivins' vote
shows it, that tho republican bosses
gave it out that to vote for McOlel-
lan would do the republican organiza
tion service, and tens of thousands
of machine republicnns acted upon the
hint. William R. Hearst stands today
shoulder to shoulder with William J.
Bryan in the hearts of the patriotic
people of the country. He emerges
from the mountain of slander and
filth hi c-nemies sougnt to pile upon
him a grander man and a more re
splendent character. From today he
ij one of the few great men of the
country. His heart beats in unison
with th.)9t of the lowly. He is Ven
geance agoinst itblic crimes of every
kind personified.
The lesson the election teaches is
that democracy must purify itself. It
can no longer rest under the suspi
cion of temporizing with utility cor
porations, the greed of trusts or the
dishonesty and treachery of bosses.
The democratic party is either the
refuge of the people or it is tho
tool of corporations. If. it shows it
self worthy of the people's confidence
it will come triumphantly Into power;
if it is the tool "of corporations and
the plaything of the bosses it will
be defeated, as it should bo Denver

"DO BABIES PAY?"
("Do" Babies Pay?" is the subject
discussed by some writers of the day.)
Each night when I go homo from work,
Tired with toil of the day,
A little tot is waiting for mo
To drive the cares away.
And then she toddles down the walk
And meets mq at the gate,
And I forget I'm tired out
When she begins to prate:
"Oh, papa, I'm so glad you tome
I fink you're awful nice
Say, papa, how much did I tost,
.uir am I worf de price?"
She tells me what a "splendid time"
She's had "wif dolls and toys"
A perfect little chatterbox,
Chock full of life and joys.
And every evening she and I,
When supper time is o'er,
Can hardly wait until we've had
A romp upon the iigor.
Then, as we tuck her in her bed,
She says, "Tome tiss me twice
And, papa, how much did I tost,
And am I worf de price?"
