Tho fundamental principle OF the Re-
publican party is progress, and every
thing that tends to advance has beer
earnestly advocated by our leaders.
When |. comes to timo for tho cleo
ton Of president and state officers Il Is
no. tho time to hesitate. nor arc tho par
ties who scratch tho nominees Of national
and state officers good Republicans.
We can well bc proud Of our President,
ho has done SO much for tho advance
ment Of our nation that Il is useless to at
tempt to compass II in the limit Of an ar
tiele.
Tho nominee for governor has been the
warm friend Of tho working man. in that
he insisted that any man would be pro-
toe.ed in doing an honest days labor.
All good Republicans should vote solid
ly for the nominee for State Senator be-
cause he is good. conscientious man and
further. because during his administra-
ton a United States Senator is to be
elected and. it's impossible for the President
to sail the "Ship Of State" to a safe har-
bor and avoid the rocks and dangers
about him unless ho is ably supported by
the congress Of the United States.
II you are Republican and have had
disappointments. this is no, the time to
air them-Forge, tho personal qriev-
anees and petty iealousies-Put your
shoulder to the wheel and work for the
great Republican Party and you will feel
better than venting your feelings on some
unfortunate individual who may not be
responsible for your supposed wrongs.
Remember that you are Republican
for tho party principles and do as you
know to be right.

An enthusiastic meeting was held this
afternoon at the home of Mrs. C. F. Ev-
ans for the purpose Of organizing a Wom-

were already interested in the success OF
the Republican ticket and in upholding
the party PRINCIPLES. this bond Of union
and corporation was needed to make
work more effecti!e and inspiring; and
awaken deeper loyalty. 1t was also felt
the organization would give the women of
Rocky Ford opportunities of hearing excel
lent speakers and truor insight into the
political situation and its needs, and a truer
appreciation Of what Repubiicanism has
done and can do.
