The Meeker herald. [volume] (Meeker, Colo.) 1885-current, 1894-11-03

qualified to fill the governors chair and
administer the affairs of state in the IN
terest of the whole people. His leading
opponent, Davis IL. Waite, is about
seventy years of age; he is police court
\ lawyer and was justice of the peace
at Aspen for number of years prior
I to '92, when he was accidently caught
on political tidal wave and carried in
to the executive chair. According to
the Rocky Mountain News. the great
I Populist paper of the state, his chief oc-
cupation, before his elevation to unex-
pected honors, was that of stirer-up
of petty neighborlY quarreIs and con-
sequent law suits, on which he lived.
| For the past two years he has been en-
gagged chiefly in raising hell and has
been more successful in that occupation
than in anything else he has undertaken
during the seventy years of his life.
THE HERALD is in receipt of mark
ed copy of the Aspen Sun, containing
card by Judge Rucker, in which he
denies being an a. p. A. The card was
not necessary so far as the voters of
this section are concerned. Nobody has
accused tine judge of being a member of
that more or less dark lantern society.
People here do not believe in the A.
z. A. or its methods; they look upon it
as a political scarecrow, used by I'M
scrupulous politicians for selfish ends
The judges own party lthe Populist)
was the first to raise tue A. p. A cry in
this campaign, and il its carion-smell-
ing birds are now coming home to roost
the judge shouldn't deny them entrance
to their own barn-yard.
John L. Noonan and George D. John
stone are recognized as among the lead
I ing lawyers on the Western Slope
During his incumbency of the county
I iudgeship in Garfield county for two
terms Judge Noonan has never been re
versed By the supreme court. This is
| the kind of a man we want on the dis
I trict bench. George d. Johnstones
ability as prosecuting attorney is too
well known to need rehearsing at the
present time. AS heretofore asserted
by The HERALD, he will be reelected
by large majority.
Believing that John W. Lowell's
/ services in behalf of his constituents
merited another term in the legislature,
/ the Democrats Of the districts put no
candidate in the field against him. This
action was in keeping with the history
of the party in Rio Blanco county,
where recognized ability coupled with
faithfulness in the discharge of public
duties have always been appreciated
and properly rewarded. Democrats, be
true to your record and see To it that
Mr.. Lowell's labors in our behalf are
duly rewarded on next Tuesday.

This office is in receipt of a number
of letters from Populist senators lamong
them Senators b. Clark Wheeler of
/ Pitkin county. Fred Lockwood of Boul-
der, and David BOYD of Weld county
all of whom emphaticaily deny that
I Senator Graham was compelled las he
claims) to assume the hostile attitude
toward our bridge that he did at the
dictation of his party. One by one Mr..
Graham's mendacious statements are
met and properly branded
a vote for Cliff Parks is vote for one
of the cleanest and most capable Young
men on the Western Slope. He is the
Republican candidate for state auditor.
He is also heavy taxpayer in Rio
Blanco county, having bought the
Thayer lots in this town and ranch be-
low last summer. He is honest and
capable. Vote for him and you will
never have occasion to regret it.
People who have interests at stake
and intend living in this district want
I Mr. Lowell returned to the legislature,
not because of his well-known abilities
as legislator, but because of what he
has, can and will do for his contituency.
a vote for John w. Lowell is a vote for
your own interest, because he will surely
look after the interests of Rio BIanco
and Routt counties.

4 George d. tombstone has made a good
prosecuting attorney and of course will
succeed himself.
Every Democrat who sincerely wishes
to down Waiteism ought to vote for
Judge McIntlre.
