An Able Speech.

The Pueblo Chieftain (Republican)
says editorially Of Mayor Speer's in
augural address:
'1rhe inaugural address delivered
by Mayor Speer Of Denver on
Wednesday is the ablest public
speech we have ever read emanating
from the Mayor of any American
city. Mr.. Speer shows n comprehen-
sive and clear cut understanding of
every phase of municipal government
and particularly Of tile needs of the
city of Denver"

MEEKER COLO, SATURDAY, JUNE 1904.
Mayor Speer and
His Administration.

The Denver Republican, which op-
posed the election Of Bob Speer as
mayor Of Denver on party grounds,
made the following editorial CONF
ment the day after his inaugural rs
the first mayor Of Greater Denver:
"If Mayor Robert w. Speer gives
the city an administration like the
one promised by him In his inaugural
address there will be no ground for
complaint. and he will bring credit
upon himself and his supporters.
while every man naturally
would prefer to see an administra-
ton in harmony with the views Of his
party, the chief desire after all with
good citizens is to secure good gov
ernment. An administration con-
Quoted in the interests of the whole
city and promoting its growth and
prosperity is what all people who are
loyal to Denver desire, whethether 1t
be conducted under Democratic or
under Republican auspices.
''There Is no question that Mr..
Speer is capable of giving Nh admin
istration of this kind. He Is proba-
bly, better informed in regards to the
needs of the city government than
any other man in Denver. He pos
sesses superior mental ability and he
Is distinctly IA strong man."
The Meeker herald., 1904-06-11

1t is amusing to see the Denver
News and Times in their patronizing
way trying to take Mayor Speer un-
der their wing. These alleged DEM
ocratic sheets fought Mr.. Speer and
the entire Democratic ticket with
much vindictiveness during the re-
cent campaign In Denver, and In
spite Of the opposition he and his
ticket were elected by good majori-
ties, and will now doubtless make
appointments and begin his admins
tration without ever once consulting
Mr.. Patterson.

Mr.. j. w. Turner of Truhnrt, Va,
says that Chamberlain's Stomach

more good than anything he could
get from the doctor. If any physi-

used in preparing this one medicine.
