The piece contrasts Republican and Democratic eras, noting $903 000 spent by three Republican administrations on state institutions and improvements, versus $949 672.38 in two Democratic years under Shafroth. It claims Republicans mismanaged finances, cites bond issuance of $960 000 for Cripple Creek debts, and recalls November 1910 voting to pay warrants with $2,115,000 in bonds, with interest $63,000 annually, before state salaries.
