DIES SUNDAY

■ i»y The Associate! litre)
D13NVEK, June 25, Former
[United States Senator, Charles S.
Thomas, aged eighty-four, died
here early Sunday of Infirmities
and old age.
Ah a last move of his stormy car
ecer, he defied the government tt>
prosecute him for having in his
1 possession more gold than was al
lowed under the anti-hoarding act.
No government action was taken.
A widow and three sons and two
daughters survive him.
There is an action against his
daughter, Edith Thomas, for
hoarding three thousand dollars in
gold, which is still pending. ,
Following is a sketch of his life
as submitted by the Associated
Press:
Twice United States senator and
jonce governor of Colorado, Charles
8. Thomas was vigorously individ
ualistic all through his life. „ He
liked the sound and fury of a fight
over a principle.
When he was 84 and retired
form active life, he stepped back
onto the national stage when he
defied President Franklin P. Hoose
velt’s anti-gold hoarding order
which followed the banking erls's
in 1XL3XJ..
The aged slui-maii piup >'lv

ol the yellow metal allowed an
Individual and 'Mien notified the
federal government. He wrote
“I have qualified for the peni
tentiary and am at your service.''
His “hoard”—$ 1»— was ignored
as too Insignificant.
His firm convictions on subjects
ranging from teh feasibility of bl
metalisiii as a monetary system to
simplification of laws made him
the center of several state-wide
and national controversies.
Though a life-long democrat,
Thomas, while a senator in the
Wilson administration, opposed
United States' participation in the
League of Nations and the Ver
sailles treaty. He decried as “un
democratic’' the widb powers given
to Franklin D Roosevelt as pres’
dent in 1933.
Thomas was born in Darien,
Georgia, Decemer <i, 1819, and
went to Colorado in l$lt. follow
ing his graduation from the Uni
versity of Michigan. He practiced
law first in Denver and then In
the roaring mining Camp of I,ead
vtlle .later returning to Denver to
make It his home. The Influence
of those rugged, man-making days
of Leadville left their mark on
him.
He already had a repuatlon of
being tolerant, sincere. loyal and
fearless. To thcee qualities hs
