George Nelson, Employed at
Golden Club, Tells of
Russian Prison Life.
WAS INCARCERATED FOR
TWELVE LONG DAYS.
Bats and Rats Made Life Miser
able For Prisoner in Under
ground Dungeon.

George Nelson, employed at
the Golden Club, was once i'm
prisoned in Russian prison, and
told story the other evening
about the treatment he received
while there that would turn
all sympathy away from the mis-
covites. The story as told by
Mr.. Nelson is quite interesting
at this time and shows up very
plainly that the Russians are
none too good to those who hap
pen to come under their displeas
ure.
81 was taking a trip from Nor
way with my uncle" said Mr..
Nelson, "who was captain on a
steamer that made regular trips
between the two countries. We
started from Stavanger, Norway,
and latter an uneventful voyage
reached our destination, Ryga,
Russia. Upon our arrival at
that port the Russian officials
came on board the vessel to in,
spect the captains papers, and
upon not finding any name up,
on the clearance papers hurried
me off to a hole that could not
properly be called a prison.
81 was chucked into the place
with little ceremony. the officers
repeatedly jabbing me with their
bayonets. Here l was left for
twelve long days before the
matter could be Strengthened
out, and [ can honestly say that
never before nor afterwards did
spend SO many weary. hours. |
was given little to eat. and the
place, which was nothing but a
dungeon without light or venti
lation, was literally alive with
bats, rats and other vermin that
kept me awake nights and were
worse than torture.
"Much cruelty was displayed
by those in whose charge [ had
been placed, and when I emerged
from the place where had been
confined I more resembled a
skeleton than a human being.
''That is one reason why I am
so against the Russians. They
are a barbarous people and |
hope that the little JapS will win
out in the present war;"

urivate and business career will tend
to strengthen his position with the
people who may not be familiar with

So closely has James Stanton been
connected with the growth and de-

Should the business men and farm
ers of Weld county want man in
the treasurerS office, thoroughly COM

personal interests would coincide with
theirs, they could nd no man better
qualified to fulfill all these require

the lumber business, but not overly
SO to indicate that he had employed
nothing but the best business ability
and integrity.
AS Mr.. Clayton was born in the
south in the closing days of the Civil
War. he could be born only demo-
crat, and he has adhered to the true
principles of this party at all times.
Nothing further need be said
about this candidate. He has been
tried, and found to fulfill every re-
quirement of the Office; has an
abundance of good solid sense. hon
esty; is a college graduate and a
thorough business man.
The Greeley tribune., 1904-10-26

Another measure for which Senator
Clayton worked with untiring energy
was the much discussed eight-hour
law. No measure has been more
generally discussed here in years,
and vet it is one of the least under
stood. The bill. which was passed
by the senate, largely through the
efforts of Mr. Clayton. to die in the
house the last days of the session,
contemplated an eight-hour day for
men employed il underground work
ings. blast furnaces and reduction
plants. where the labor is a positive
menace to health. and providing a
penalty of $3.50 day for violation
of this law. otwithstanding this
fact. that the constitution of the
state had been so amended previously
that it was made mandatory for the
Senate and House to pass an eight
hour law. the interests affected had
the power to have this bill killed on
in the House. a bill was offered by
the House almost identical with the
senate bill, with the exception, that
there was practically no penalty,
and if a conviction at the end OF
wears violation of the law could be
had. the total fine might not be over
SO and might be Sloo.
Another bill that Mr.. Clyaton put
through the senate was one to permit
cities of the second class. Such as
Greeley. to pave and sidewalk streets,
with the consent of two-thirds OF the
property owners along the street, ana
assess il against the property TO De
paid as regular taxes. This meulloo
is employed by cities of the nfst
class. and is unusually satisfactory.
This bill also died in the House.
The different bills recommended
and voted for by Mr.. Clayton would
REQUIRE pages to tell about, but one
of the most important TO NeIu
county people direct was the Irlga-
tion measure, described as An Act III
Relation to Irrigation; prescribing
certain penalties in relation thereto
and defining certain duties OF the
state engineer and superintendentS
of irrigation. The law is the pres
ent satisfactory one covering meas
urements. maintenance, OF ditcheS,
reservoirs, etc, with the powers ol
the tate engineer and deputies IN

During all these years that he lived
in Colorado he was greatly interested

out and stayed all night with the

closed up his store for the dav to at

| lation, or to bury dead friend.
Before a methodist conference in
| 1869 MI. Stanton was examined by
Rev B. L. Vincent, one of the best
known ministers in Greeley, now OF
Golden, Colo, and was licensed to
preach, and in lS7O-7l was sent on a
circuit covering Huerfano, st Charles
and Greenhorn creeks. In 1887 he
was q III h'o
ter, and entered the missionary field.
He continued this until 1889 when
he was called to the Congregational
church in Eaton and was there six
years. To the people OF Eaton be
needs no introduction as his woIK
there is known to every resident OF
that city. From Eaton he went to
Cripple Creek and remained there
two ard a half years. The state OF
his health, however. would not per-
nit of his remaining in that high al
titude, and his heart turned to
Platteville again, and he moved there
to stay.
During all the years since 1873 Mr..
Stanton has been a heavy taxpayer,
owning two farms and considerable
town property, and for ten years
carried a large stock of merchandise.
During all this time, too, he has
been one CT the leading farmers and
leading business men of Plattevilie.
He was the leader in the fight against
The Union Water Company, OF Dem
YER, which it was claimed was TAX
ing the water from the Platte river
that should have come to the country
about Platteyille. He, with his COM
mlttee. appeared before Governor
Peabody for his aid in this connec-
ton. The farmers were turned down
by the governor, itself sufficient rea-
son why every farmer along the
Platte should turn down the present
governor at this election.
In every way Mr.. Stanton is a self
made man. and he has made his
name and property honestly, and
consclentiousIy as ne saw his way.
Summing up the qualifications OF
the candidate it can be said that he
is a farmer, business man, a minis

There is no trouble IN giving good
and valid reasons why every man on

should be elected to the Office lie

purpose is graft. His motto is: "a

there are not more men OF his kind
willing to accept public office.
Why w. R. Adams Should Be Re elect
ed County Clerk.
A few reasons why W. r, Adams
should be reelected.
He knows the business OF the office
in detail and attends to it. He has
put the Office in the best condition OF
any in the state. He has had eighteen
years experience with county records
and titles He knows the nature and
power of any paper filed inthe office.
His judgment on legal papeIS and
records of the Office is the best avail
able. He has brought business judg-
ment and ability OF the best order to
the office. His judnment and coun-
sci with the mmissioneiS in busi-
ness matters before them has saved
the taxpayers none.
He prepares any contract or agree
ment the comm iss sion2rS require. He
Is safe counsel in al! matters of
business for he is practical. He has
taken records that have been thrown
aside and overlooked in the office for
years and has had blanks printed and
is filling them up. He says these
records cost the taxpayers $40 each
and must be utilized as the space they
occupy is valuable. There are many
