The democrats were successful
at the municipal election held in
Denver Tuesday. Their entire
ticket, with the exception of few
aldermen, was elected by major
tiles ranging from four to eipht
thousand. Gigantic frauds were
committed by the workers for the
democratic mach inc; thousands of
illegal ballots were cast and count
ed, many republicans were dis
franchised and were not allowed
to vote, and many other things
were done which will invalidate
the election if it is contested nv
the republicans, as seems likely
to be done.

All Official statement Of the carrying

Tie some Of the points in controversy
between the ditch company and the
people. There are always Two sides To
every question, especially where the
question is serious enough to produce
a lawsuit, and it is often the case that
both parties TO the suit are sorneThat
In the wrong. The GTit-AdvOcate has
held the opinion for a long time that
the best and most satisfactory way 20
settle the differences existing between
the people and the ditch company was
to settle them in court. Believing
that this would be the ultimate re-
course taken, and believing further
that it is not the province OF any news

the bar Of public opinion before the
issues are presented TO the trial court,
we have refrained from discussing in
our editorial columns the controversy
now existing between the two parties.
The following letter is published pure
ly as a matter of news:
Denver, Colo. May y. 1904.
Mr. l.. +. Loyeland,
Sec'ty Petersen Ditch Co.,
Julesburg, Colo.
Dear Sir. From the gaging OF the
Petersen ditch made I mile below
Sedgwick, at 10 O'Clock, on Wednes
day, May II, 1904, find the following:
Discharge 1865 sec. it. Area Of cross
section 81 % So. IT. Average velocity
2.39 IT. per second. The Petersen ditch
will safely carry a stream OF water 2
tenths of foot deeper than when gag

taken out 10 the laterals.
Very Respectfully,

A Move in The Right Direction.

A large majority OF the people in
Sedgwick county may always be count
ed upon to choose the right course in
every emergency. This fact was never
better cxcmpltied than during the
past week when majority of the resi-
dent frccholdcrs Of the county north Of
the South Platte river signed petit
tion asking the county commissioners
to call an election for the purpose Of
organizing an irrigation district.
These people took this step because
they believed it to be the best way to
solve the problem OF securing more
water for irrigation purposes; they
took the step after careful cOnsidera-
tion, und with a clear understanding
OF the Importance of the undertaking;
and in taking this step, which is des-
tined to add SO greatly to the future
prosperity OF themselves and to the
county, they paid absolutely no atten-
tion to the few people in Julesburg
who lave sought to dscredit
the Jumbo reservoir proposition, by
Misrepresentation and distortion of
facts, ever since its inception. They
followed the dictates of their own good
judgment, and they have chosen wise
ly.
The petition for the formation OF the
Julesburg Irrigation district is pub,
lishcd in another column Of this pap,
A number Of things are recited in the
petition which MAY be done by the
district organization after it is effected.
Among these is the purchase of the
Petersen and Settlers bitches. How
ever, the district organization is not OBJ.
ligated to do this nor any Of the things
recited in the petition. In fact it can
do none Of them until the question is
submitted to the people and funds vot.
ed by them TO do the thing proposed
1t matters not what any board Of di.
rectors might desire to do, no money
can be expended until it is provided
by the people With them, and with
them alone, rests the decision As to
what money shall be expended and for
what purpose 1T shall be expended.
Action upon the petition will be
taken by the county commissioners at
a special meeting OF the board June &.
At this time al election will be called

Tn. Grit-adyocate's Policy

The policy OF The Grit-AdVocatc has
ever been, and will always be 50 long
AS the present owner controls Its des-
TIMES, 10 DO all in its power " help
build up the country: 10 foster and pro-
tect existing Institutions and u en-
courage the establishment OF new en-
terprises and the investment or ne"
capital in Sedgwick county The poll
cy Of the paper nescr has been, ana
never will be 20 long as u ID under its
present. management, TO place any OBJ
slacles whatever in the way OF the full
and free development OF Julesbu!g
and Sedgwick county. 1t is not the
policy OF the paper to attempt 10 tear
down existing Institutions. nor 10 dis
credit the establishment OF new indus
tries. even though the promoters OF
these enterprises do not happen TO be-
long To the same political party, or
have the same religious faith as the
editor Of the paper. In short the mis-
sion Of The Grit-Adyocate is to push,
not TO knock.
1t was in pursuance Of the above ex-
pressed policy that this paper favored
the Camfeld reservoir proposition, aud
the influence Of its editorial columns,
as well as the personal influence OF the
editor, was used 70 further the estab-
lshmcnt Of this enterprise. The sue
cess of the first step towards the build
ing OF the reservoir mcntioned-the
organization OF the Julesburg lrriga-
ton district for its purchase when
ComLlcted-is assured, as may be seen
from the notice OF the petition pub
lished on another page OF this paper.
This has been accomplished in spite OF
q iew-a very few-disgruntled indi-
viduals, who, because of real or fan
cied grievances against some body or
some thing. have exerted all OF their
strength to knock out the prOpo-
sition. That these individuals have
failed 30 far in their campaign OF OPP
position is due principally to the fact
that large majority OF the people in
this county are intelligent and are ca.
pable OF Judging what is best for them
selves and for the community.
The Grit-Advocate does not seek to
take any Of the credit for the success
of the organization of the district to
itself. We are content with the
knowledge that we have contributed
our mite TO the success OF an enterprise,
which we believe will result in great
and permanent good TO every resident
OF Sedgwick county.
