HOW IT WORKS OUT
Why Churchill Is ssIt" in Weld
County Politics.

county today to Mr.. Churchill. Just
so. Brother Hogue, he is THE
WHOLE THING.
He is a member Of the state CEN
tral committee from Weld county.
The other member from this county
is man he controls. Mr.. Bonynge
refers all applications for federal APP
pointments of Weld county appli-
cants to the members of the state
central committee from Weld county.
They refer these applications to
County Chairman Churchill. Then
! Churchill, county chairman, recon-
mends the one he wants to have the
postotfice back to the congressman,
and what he says goes. The men
who receive the appointments as
water commissioners and their dep
uties must be recommended to the
governor by County Chairman
Churchill. If any republican gets
clerkship or deputyship or appoint
ment as janitor or any kind of politi-
cal job, road overseer, deputy asses
sors, he must have the recommended
tion of Chairman Churchill, and he
must be man that will stand pat
and come to the service of the boss
just like Atkinson and Bailey have
done.
If you want an elective office, say
superintendent of schools, see him;
he will size you up and if you will
come under his control he will say,
"All right, l will require you to
bring in your home delegation for
Mr.. - for clerk; he is the only
man | am interested in The cam
didate for treasurer and all other
officers must come under the same
rule. He centers everything on his
one candidate for clerk every two
term office for political pickering.
Every candidate for Office must bring
in his home delegation to support
the chairman's one candidate for
clerk. and the controlling combina-
tion is formed, and as the delega
tions are interested in their candi-
dates, they must stay with this
chairmans proposition and leave
everything in his hands. He organ
ICES the convention by telling the
delegates who is to be temporary
chairman, and this temporary chair
man must be man who will appoint
such credential committee as will
oust any contesting delegation who
might be against Mr.. Churchill.
Then the temporary chairman must
appoint committee on order of bus
district, state and congressional con-
ventions and he appoints the ones
Mr.. Churchill tells him to, and all
delegates must be men that will be
controlled by him in all things. You
must be one of his sheep, know his
voice and follow him Churchill l
mean). A list of names for dele
gates from most of the precincts of
the county must be submitted to him
as county chairman and if you are
without blemish, one of his followers,
you will be approved as suitable
delegate to the convention. You
must reelect him county chairman
and give him members of the state
central committee that he controls,
and he will come up with the same
kind of machine next time and put
up ticket and say IF you are re-
publican, support the ticket"
Yes. he is it. He, if continued
as head of the party, will ii neces-
sary force our candidates for district
judge into his machine; if they
don't unite with his forces, he, the
boss himself, is likely to have the
nomination forced upon himself for
the office of judge, just as 1t was for
state senator. Qualifications and
moral character are no factors to fe
considered by boss: it is a plain
question as to whom he can best use
to secure results for himself.
1t is easy for man veresd in
politics to do these things which
give them control. The business
men and farmers are toiling away to
make an honest living and uusally
90 and vote their ticket in fidelity
to their party, and complain OF
taxes and conditions.
On November 8 you are to employ
your national, state and county
officers. The salaries are sufficient
for competent men. Go and vote to
employ the man you would hire 1or
your individual affairs. DO not be
so blind that you can not see amy
good in man who is not on your
ticket. Vote to make men strong
