There is nothing that indicates the
weakness of the Democratic county
ticket more than the fact that two
candidates have been nominated omit of
doubtful politics. One of these, up to
short time ago did not know whether
he was Republican or Democrat and
it only depended on the way the "cat
would jump" in order for him to de-
termine. The other nominee might
have known what he was himself, but
many people have long since placed him
in the Socialist ranks. Both these
candidates were doubtless selected be-
cause they were supposed to be good
fellows" but we do not believe that
the supporters of any party will support
a candidate, if they know it, whose
nomination is necessary to tell them
what their politics really are. If men
who have affiliated with political
party for years are to be turned down
for men who have no political faith or
political principle, then politics are a
failure.

Elias Wenger is known to be true
and honest man both in politics and
otherwise. What about his opponent,
Dan Doughty? 1t is a fact that he
was financial secretary of the Social
ist local at this place only short time
back and has been pronounced Social
list for years. Just previous to his
nomination by the Democrats he took
up to Cedaredge a lot of Socialist litera-
ture to flood the Surface Creek country
with the teachings of his political faith.
Would it not be best to vote for Elias
Wenger who has been true to his
friends, his party and will be true to
the public if elected?

The office of district attorney should
be filled by vigorous, painstaking law
yer, just such man as Hugo Selig.
No one but a live, active and energetic
man, who is well versed in the law and
as practitioner should hold such posi-
tion. The great volume Of business that
comes before this district needs the
attention of one who is alert and COM
petent and who can stand the continual
grind of the court routine. This dis
trict has been represented for years by
one who has made record as being a
poor prosecutor Such men in posi-
tions of this kind creates a disregard
for the law. Give the attorneyship to
Hugo Selig and the evil doer will be
suppressed so far as it is possible.

If Welland Jeffers is elected one
will fill the Office Of county treasurer
that is already familiar with the duties
of the office. Although Republican
he has been employed at different times
during the past year in the treasurer's
office. Notwithstanding the fact too
that he was employed by Democratic
treasurer. Under these conditions if
he has been the only available compe-
tent man that could be secured why
not elect him? A Democrat would not
have selected Mr.. Jeffers if he could
have secured more competent help, you
can rest assured of that fact, and his
opponent lives in Delta too. For a
thorough and painstaking official and
one who is competent Welland Jeifers
cannot be beaten. Although a young
man, he has lived in Delta county for
the past II years and his many friends
know that he is honest and capable and
can be depended upon to attend to the
duties of the important Office of county
treasurer.

From reports over the county c. 5.
Gibbs, the Republican nominee for
sheriff, is sure winner. Mr.. Gibbs is
a man that takes well with the public
and he is doing some good work
electioneering these days. The more
the people know him the more con-
vinced they are that he is the man for
sheriff of Delta county. He has been
employed for the past year both as
water commissioner and marshal of this
city and the people here know his
worth and will support him accordingly.
He is thorough Republican and is
entitled to full party vote.

While Judge Milton r. Welch, was
not, like Judge Lindsey, of Denver,
endorsed by both the Republican and
Democratic parties, there is no doubt
but that many Democrats will vote to
retain him in office. 1t is not everyone
that can fill the office of county judge
and do it as it should be done. 1t is
becoming more and more the custom
that when a man of judgment and de-
cision is once secured for offices of a
judiciary nature, to retain them as long
as possible. In the United States ST.
preme Court they are kept in Office for
life. This is evidence that all men
even men of learning are not supposed
to be capable of filling Offices of this
charactar and that it is best for the
public to have those men who can
satisfactorily serve the people as judges
hold such positions. Judge Welch is
just such man and Democrats as well
as Republicans recognize this fact.
When man goes before judge of any
station he wants justice therefore, let
US have no experiments in an office that
is of so much Importance, especially
when it is a well known fact that a
more suitable man for this particular
office cannot be found in Delta county
or on the western slope, for that matter.

All that money could do was done, but

In other words, You'll never
miss the water till the well runs
dry or words to that effect. Get
a move on; hurry up; rustic; or, to
sum up life's duty work yourself
to death. Then, when the time
comes for you to lie down to
pleasant dreams you will have a
nightmare with the thought as the
chief rider in it, that you have tried
in every way to improve your
financial condition in life; that you
have labored increasingly and
deliberately violated the first law
of nature; that is, to make yourself
and those around You happy; that
through the habit of laboring TN
ceasingly you have made those over
whom You have had control labor
increasingly, and that your horse
which you drove, and your wife
whom Won made bow to the god of
accumulation, are both perhaps
glad that your race is run; that
your children feel that now, for
the first time in their young lives,
they will be permitted to enjoy a
morning nap, which they have
pinned for and demanded ever since
they were born. This will all be
pleasant to you in your last mo-
ments. Hence, go to work at once
and work increasingly. Have for
your only rule that which coarsely
dictates that this world is made for
labor and labor alone. You will
perhaps make money, but you will
not carry any of it away with you.

THE tale-bearer is the most des-
picable creature in the sight of Gold
and honest men. We know a few
who would make themselves
solid with influential and power
full personages by systematic abuse
of their fellow. They lie about
him, stealing his good name and
reputation. Some consolation is
contained in the thought that the
fires of damnation are getting hot
ter day by day for casting therein
the b carer of lies.-Hidalgo Ad-
