Vote for Thomas A. Rucl1er.
---.-
A vote tor H. G. Kennedy for County
Commissioner is a vote for good roads
in the Crystal River Valley.
With defeat staring them in the face,
the Democrats will resort to any un-
derhanded methods to win.
Is there any reason why the Miner
at Placita and Coal Basin have not as
much rigkt to vote as the Miner in
Aspens
The only hope of Democratic sue
cess lies in fraud and corruption. They
realize that with fair vote and honest
count they will be buried out of sight
on November 9th.
The Democrats of the county must
be in close straits to resort to the de-
.spicable means employed to prevent
the voters of this precinct from exer-
.cising their rights as citizens.
Be sure to see for yourself that you
are registered. The Board of Regis
tration does not intend to register any
one from this part of the precinct if
they can possibly avoid it.
The illegal democratic registrar
in Denver, which has been so glaringly
advertised by the Denver press, is no.
thing compared to the fagrant attempt
of the Democratic Board of Commits
sioners of this county to disfranchise
this whole community.
The voters in this section ask nothing
of the Judges of Election except that
they should conform to the law in the
matter of registration. They might as
well go to China for election laws as
to accept Callicott's construction of
of the Colorado election laws.
The edit has gone forth from Demo-
cratic headquarters to win at all haz-
ards. The hazard lies altogether with
the tools who do the underhanded work
while the benefits, in case of success,
will accrue to the benefit of Governor
Thomas and his illl.
To "govern without the consent of
the governed is, according to the
democr attic view, very reprehensible
when applied to the Philippines, but is
quite the proper thing at home. 1t is
evident that such is the view taken of
the matter by Johnson and Bourg.
They are perfect. willing to govern
the Crystal river valley regardless of
the consent of the residents thereof.
The roads in this part of the county
will not compare favorably with the
trails around Aspen The only road
in rsie valley which is even passable is
the old Elk Mountain grade below the
Hot Springs. Johnson and Bourg
think it quite the proper thing to take
all the road tax collected in this part
,of the county and spend it where they
can derive some personal benefit from
it.
1t is an odd fact that Bryan in his
letter accepting the nomination for
president by the Silver Republican
party does not even mention silver in
that letter. Under the tuition of Hill,
Croker, German and the other leaders
of the Democratic party he has con-
.cluded that silver is not an issue in
this campaign.
With glaring headlines and most i'm
macculate gall the Aspen Democrat
publishes an account of an alleged
colouizati scheme in Crock Creek
District" The most noticeable thing
about the whole article is the total alb
senee of truth. At least 95 per cent. OF
the voters in this district have been
residents here for from six to eighteen
months. Among the employees of the
C. F. & 1. Co. all of the political part
les are represented. The Superintend-
ent of the Coke Ovens is radical
democrat and openly announces his
intention to vote that ticket, and his
right to do SO has never been question
ed by any of the officials of the com
pany. Any employee of the company
is allowed to think and vote as he sees
fit without prejudice to his position
with the company. We defy the AS
pen Democrat to point out one single
case in which any attempt has ever
been made to coerce an employee OF
the company to vote any particular
ticket. AT least 95 per cent. OF the re-
,gistered voters in this district are pro-
minent residents of the district and
many of them have built for themselves
homes, thus showing their intention to
remain. A more intelligent and peace
able community cannot be found any
where in the state. During the eight
cen months that the work in this dis
trict has been prosecuted not one act
of lawlessness has been committed.
This speaks volumes for the good
chara acter and intelligence of the hund-
reds of men who have been employed
on the works. This is the class of
citizens whom johnson and Bourg,
under instruction from Gov. Thomas,
would disfranchise.
