twice owing TO its excellence and log
ical presentation of the situation We
trust every voter in the county Will
do likewise It certainly appeals in
no uncertain manner to the good judg-
ment of the people.
The Herald under no circumstan-
ces Will do Mr. Shaffr 9TH an injury.
We only give fac cts as per record Mr.
Shaffroth held on to his Office until
it became apparent that great frauds
had been committed in Denver and
that he WoIld be ousted. Now If a
man is not honestly elected can he
consistently draw a salary that be-
longs to another? This is simply a
question for the people to decide.

Hon. Franklin E. Brooks and Mr.
Crank arrived from Silyerton this
norlire and have been spending the
lay getting acquainted with our peo-

Mrs. Brooks is accompanying her hus-
band on this trip around the circle
md is enjoy ing every moment, this
being her rst visit to the San Juan
section. Republican and Democrats
ire urged to attend the meeting at
he opera house this evening and list
N to genuine doctrines.
Misrepresentation is the order of the
lay with Democratic sheets. Durango
Adams Meyer sheets are no exception
to the rule. This is evidenced by an
assertion by 9 morning paper that
money was posted at the Horseshoe
Club that the Republicans would not
elect man on the ticket. The bet as
posted reads that the Republicans will
not elect five of their nominees But
then Misrepresentation is the order of
the day with the followers of Meyer

j. E Preston, the Chicago Milwau-
kee- st. Paul r. r. man. came down
from Silverton this morning and is
spending the day in Durango Mr..
Preston has many friends in the city
who are trying to make it agreeable
for him.
No doubt efforts will be made 10
flood the country with false campaign
literature just prior to election. We
warn voters to pay little attention to
any charges or figures given the last
four or Ave days. II Republicans al
Tempt this The Herald will kick just
the same But no Republican is going
to do it and no one with decency will
do it on the opposite side, but we are
afraid of any combination that in
past years experience.
The Animas school was pleasantly
surprised yesterday afternoon by the
mothers Of Animas. When the pupils
passed out to the play ground at
recess a table spread for all was
awaiting them. Ice cream and cake
was served then all assembled in the
building where a few exercises were
held. The following women were
present.
Mesdames Huber, Swift, Alexan-
der, Johnson Effie Duluth. Minnie
Duluth, Il. A. Duluth, Olischlager,
Shields. Obereicht, Huthchings. Rey-.
nolds, Randolph, Roberts, Oadler.
Russell, Smith, McGalliard, and Miss
Amy Compton.
Ir is the policy of the Republican
party to advance the interests of every
section of every state in the union.
but the election of a Republican dele
CATION to congress both senate and
house. will do much to hasten matters
in which we are vitality interested. Or
course there is no hope for a Repub-
lican senator for a couple of years
yet, but not so in the sause as the
voters on the Sth of November will
decide whether the present grogres-
sive delegation is to remain in har-
ness The Herald is confident that in
case of Messrs. Hogg and Brooks are
reelected that before another cam
paign comes around Durango VIII he
graced by public building. We are
assured by both gentlemen that they
will make earnest efforts in our behalf
and have reason to expect success.
1t is foregone conclusion that
Roosevelt will be elected along with
a Republican house and it is easy to be
seen that Democrats from Colorado
will not have the iniiunce that Hogg,
Bonynge and Brooks will have.
REPUBLICAN COUNTY TICKET.
