in the third ward six. On the sec

the ticket which the TRIBUNE will

to give their time in an earnest en-
deavor to solve the municipal prob

be the best thing for La Junta.
Every one who is Interested in the
welfare Of La Junta. and its future
growth and prosperity. must realize
and believe that honesty. economy
and efficiency should prevail in city
affairs. and without intending or
even insinuating a word in dispar-
agement of any Of the other candi-
dates. the TRIBUNE believes these
principles will be best carried out by
the candidates enumerated on 'our

ownership Of light plant in La

it is a business proposition that
should be thoroughly investigated

honesty. without appeal to preju-
