Golden History Moment
For as long as the Colorado Transcript remained in family hands (which was nearly 100 years), it was a Democratic newspaper. That sentiment was particularly strong in the October 29, 1936 edition. Franklin D. Roosevelt was running for his second term, and the paper’s editorial column took some strong potshots at the opposition:
There are going to be many voters, who have been publicly advocating Republicanism, when alone in the voting booth will recall Hoover’s “bread line,” “Brother can you spare a dime,” “The firing of the veterans’ camp at Washington,” “Mines closed,” “Farmers losing their farms by foreclosure,” “Industry stagnate,” “Millions out of work.” With American good sense they will vote the Democratic ticket so that these things may not occur again.”
They had some choice words about Charles Armstrong (Republican candidate for governor) too:
If Armstrong thinks the Armstrong method of using Armstrong tactics on election day, the employment of smashers and bruisers at the polls, will win him the respect of respectable voters–he has another think coming.
In case readers failed to read the editorials, the paper also had front page articles about two new buildings being funded by Roosevelt’s Works Progress Administration–the new Central School on 12th Street and the planned field house on the Mines campus.
In other news, the Maroon & White column (news from Golden High School) advised readers to expect the usual Halloween “capers and jokes…the soaping of windows, the knocking over of cornstalks, the moving of wagons and small buildings, gates, fences and what not.”
The Golden Gem Theater had a special late show planned for Saturday night (Halloween). They were showing Boris Karloff in Frankenstein, Bela Lugosi in Dracula, and both Karloff and Lugosi in Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven.
Many thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
