Gilpin observer., 1904-10-13
since, and now holds. He came to Gil.

has since that time been engaged in
mining and blacksmithing, which trade
he learned in his early boyhood. He is
one Of the staunchest of labor's friends,
and to know him is to support him for
the position of assessor. He was the
nomipee on the Democratic ticket two
years ago and ran against the present in
cumbent, Richard Murley, and was de-
feated by only 240 votes in tho county.
Mr.. Thompson is the right man in the
right place, and every labcring man and
woman and every friend OF labor should
support him.
Few public offices require of an official
the intelligence and knowledge as does
that OF county judge. 10 the candidacy
of F. c. Miles person better qualified
to fill the position could not have select
ed. He is highly educated attorney
and has not only practiced law exten-
sively in this state, but had unlimited
experience before coming to Colorado.
Mr.. Miles, while not having resided in
Gilpin county as long as have some OF
the other candidates, during his resi-
dence in this community he has proven
himself to be loyal Democrat and de-
serving of the position to which his
party is most hopeful Of electing him.
In the celebrated Galbraith case last
spring in assisting the prosecuting at
torney he demonstrated that his know
ledge of the legal profession was equal
to that of any of the lawyers interested
id the trial and there were some very
prominent disciples of Blackstone pres
ont from outside points. With the
ability he possesses the voters should
see to it that he is our next county
judge.
Mr.. Edward Lippert, the Democratic
candidate for coroner. came to this
county from Canada, and has been con-
nected with the A. L. Anderson Furni-
ture company for the past eight years.
He is an undertaken by profession and
is eminently qualified for the duties OF
the Office. He is a prominen: member
of the c. T. 1. society and has large
circle Of friends and acquaintances
among the Austrian and Italian voters
OF the county. Mr.. Lippert lie q tax
payer and friend of the cause Of labor
and the mining industry Of the state.
Mr.. L. G. Todd, our candidate for
county surveyor. came to Colorado from
Illinois when he was six years of age
and has literally grown up with the
country. He has enjoyed prosperity
and suffered adversely with the ebb and
flow of our country's advancement. He
has made money here and has spent it
with the people who have chosen him az
their candidate. He was elected in 1900
to the same position for which his party
has again chosen him, knowing from
past experience that he is thoroughly
capable in every respect to discharge
the duties Of the Office. His work
throughout the county in his official
capacity as we'll as his long residence
here has brought him in contact with
nearly all the voters, and his candidacy
cannot help but add greatly to the
strength of the ticket.
Miss Ida B. Kruse, the present and
the next superintendent of schools OF
this county, who was nominated for the
position she has 80 ably filled during
her incumbencv by the Democratic con-
vention Tuesday. is the only representa-
tive the tender sex has on either OF the
tickets. In extolling the worth and
adaptability OF Miss Kruse one could
write columns, but as the young lady
enjoys the acquaintance Of almost every
man, woman, boy and girl in the county
it isn't necessary to attempt nn extern
sive eulogy. She is the person for the
Office and the office is the position for
her and upon her wise and faithful sup
porters will rebound the credit for her
re election on November 9Th.
