full of dry humor, tender toward wo-

charge. In fact, he seemed to enjoy the
search made after his stills by the OFF,
GERS Of the department blamed sight
more than the officers themselves
There were several things to admire
about the fellow. He was strong
factor in state and local politics, and
with his strong following in the noun
tain districts and towns he was able
to elect anybody he chose.
"He was an odd genius, this thorn in
the side Of the revenue department for
fully twenty years and would be to-
day but for the merest accident. III
fact, Athol owed his final downfall as
moonshiner to nothing more or less
than an onery, long nosed, slab sided,
common sand digger wild hog. I be-

scrawny old sand digger hog.
II was about to turn away in DISCUS

my attention. He seemed to have
struck something nightly attractive

fitness for the position.
The Sentinel takes it that the NOM
ination of Mayor Sampliner is an
honor to Grand Junction and to the
entire western slope of Colorado. 1t
believes that local pride in his selec-
tion should invite the vote of the citi-
zen generally. without reference to
party. Here in his own county a
splendid majority should be given him
But better yet. in the city over
which he has presided as its chief
magistrate for two terms, the vote
cast for HIM should be unmistakeable
in its overwhelming numbers. 1t
would be a splendid compliment to his
untiring efforts for the city's welfare
to make his vote in this city an almost
drawn. but generally ignored. when
Mr.. Adams was a candidate on the
state ticket. there should be equal 10y
atty on the part of the voters in this
city and county in rolling up a splen-
did majority for Mr.. Sampliner for the
same position. The election of Mayor
Sampliner would mean much for this
city. The banks of the city would be
made the repositories of la ge sums of
the state funds and in many other
ways resulting benefits would come to
this city.
1t is to be hoped that the voters
of all western Colorado will take a
broad view of the honor conferred up
ON this section of the state, in having

claims of the western slope and roll NJ

ty for the candidate and the only one
on either of the two tickets.
The daily sentinel., 1904-09-26

Such a general feeling of jubilation
over a state ticket. has seldom been
witnessed, as that which is mani
fest over the ticket placed in the field
last week by Colorado democracy.
Desperate efforts to find vulnerable
points of attack have been made by
the opposition, in the press and by
their leaders. but their effort is SO
palpably strained that it strengthens
the ground of democracy by each at
tack.
The Denver Post could find nothing
wrong with the ticket, save its head
for years and down through the Arkan-
sas valley he will roll up vote which
is sure to make him congressman from
the second district. He is known as
"honest Joe Maupiu" and he has
never beliud the name.
But it would be impossible just
now to go down the line and present

the candidates. Every man on the
ticket is forceful and capable gen.
tleman and no words which we can
say will make them any more formid-
able candidates than they are.
The Ides of November will see a
great change democracy proposes to
win by the honesty and integrity and
the usefulnesss OF their candidates to
the public good, and on no other
grounds. In Colorado democracy is to
be made to stand for something and
that something is to be the general
welfare of the state, the maintenance
of law and order. not law and order
for one side of the internal fight that
has been waged, but a law and order
regime that shall make all, whoever
they may be. bow to the majesty of
the law. On these grounds democracy
unfurls her banners and will fight it
out on that line until the decision by
the vote of the people.

The State Treasurership.

The united democracy of Mesa |
county has hardly ever been quite SO
proud. as they are right at the present |
moment, in having been able to Sc
cure recognition on the state ticket, |
for Hon ]. NJ. Sampliner, mayor of
Grand Junction, as the candidate for
state treasurer. What work was en-
tailed to secure recognition for the
Western slope. only those who assisted
in fighting the battle can know.
Every moment of the time of the
delegation from the time of its arri- ,,
val in the convention. until the vote
of the treasurersbip was recorded, was
devoted to securing such recognition.
1t acknowledged its strength through
out, and confined its criticism of it as
whole, by attempted humorous luibs
at Alva Adams. Democracy through
out the state is entirely satisfied that
any attack possible shall be made
against Alva Adams, as his p-rity of
character, upright business methods
are so we'll known that. any such false
assertions will fall by the wayside and
do more injury than good to those who
! have framed them.
Aside from the official head of the
ticket every man thereon is individ-
ually strong. 1t was the purpose of
the convention that this should be so.
1t did not propose to make mistakes
! anywhere. 1t wanted every other
candidate, in his way, tob as strong
as the head of the ticket.
