the claim that the Democratic state
and congressional tickets just nomin-
ated are the best that any party has
heretofore presented to the people of

Always on duty. always exertinc
themselves to promptly meet the wish

service at Washington for the humbl-

have behind them hosts of grateful
and admiring Republicans.
II was a fitting and merited recog-
milton by the convention of the ability
and popularity OF Alva Adams. when.
though he was not n candidate for the
position. II nominated him by acclama-
tion for congressman-at-lar Nomin-
ated before by his party three times
Tor governor of Colorado he was twice
slected-both times when the state was
Republican. His administrations were
both models which executives Subse-
quently strove TO follow. He will add
to the luster of Colorado's delegation
in Congress and prove powerful fact
or in promoting Colorado's interests.
OF Mr.. Stimson for governor only
words of generous praise have been
spoken. A scholar. a judge. an upright
man. lovable companion. graced with
fine social qualities. he cannot do 9TH
erwise than win friends and keep
them. As a public speaker he is very
much above the average. and as the
responsibilities of the campaign and
the seriousness Of the great questions
involved grow upon him he will ex-
pand into one of the most impressive
and convincing speakers in the coun-
try.
The nominee for lieutenant governor.
Thomas Annear. is among the most
sterling men of the state. As senator
from San Juan and Ouray counties he
was the peer of the most gifted of the
senatorial body. His very presence
commands confidence His grave and
thoughtful face shines with the inner
light of integrity. He is one of the
rare characters that toll has broadened
and refined. The unionized labor in
| Colorado knows that in him it has a
friend whom neither threats nor bribes
can swerye. and who is as true to his
conviction as the needle TO the pole.
Horace w. Havens, the nominee for
secretary of state proved his great
strength of manhood and character by
| the fact of his nomipation. The one
great machine of the convention had
determined upon another man for that
| position. and the almost annihilating
vote of Arapahoe county that respond
ed to the decree of the machine was
cast against him. With Lake county
as his sponsor, he rallied votes from
about all the small counties in the
state. and from among the delegations
| of the larger counties until to the cha
| grin of those who thought they owned
the convention. he was swept to the
nomination. To the friends he made as
assistant secretary of state and Us
private secretary to Governor OrmaL
are due his great victory. He is Il
young man who has earned by the eX
cellence of his life and the sterling
| qualities of his nature the distinction
he won and wears.
| Harry Il. Insley went into the con
vention without the faintest eXpecta
tion of even standing as n candidate
1t was only when the choice of the
Arapahoe delegation for secretary OF
state was beaten, that. turning to re
deem the prestige of the county. they
naturally centerer upon Harry Insley
to nominate for auditor of state. Few
men are better known in Colorado
and fewer yet are more popular Will.
the cares of business command his
time, he is yet sportsman of the gen
uine type. The excellent game law.
of Colorado are chiefly his handiwork
member of the last Legislature. II.
stood for every measure that conduced
to the general good and the welfare OF
the labor Of the state. Harry Insle,
has all who know him for his circle

was estimated that state treasureres

Garlic, guided by his old-fashioned no
