GUARD WE'LL YOUR VOTE,

With this issue the political contest ends so
far a the lSpic AroR Is concerned.
The importance of clecting the republican
state and county ticket Is great and the res ult
will be or-reaching.
To the people Of this judicial district the issue
whsch oyer-tops all Others. the issue beside
which all otaers are dwarfed into insi gnihcancc
a the judicial ticket. II we are to have corrupt
courts; II we 10 have juries illegally and
ruptly foi-ted upon lligants for the purpose Of
this or that ease; II the trial Of lawsuits In the
district court is made mere matter of chance,
or To be determined in advance-by the clerks
OF the court-thcn It can make but little differ
enee who Is governor or who is United States
senator.
The election of either Elweli or Dixon means
the retention in the clerks office of Scavcr and
Mccoy and a continuation of the same corrupt
methods which have obtained In Elwell's divi-
-ion. The election of c ollins means the success
Of the same corrupt gang which Is makin, the
brazen attempt to fastcn itself like lceeh on
the taxpayers of Pueblo county. The integrity
Of the courts. common honesty among public
officials. common dccency in pylitics, in short,
the best Interests of the entire community de-
mand the defeat of Elwell, Dixon and Collins.
The very lifcof the republican party in Pueblo
county depends upon their defeat, for If the
gang of pap suckers whose positions pepcnd
upon their election are allowed To entrcnch
themselves in office and thus consummated their
villiiny begun at the primaries and continued
