TO THE VOTERS
OF MESA COUNTY.


The Democratic party of Mesa
county is entering upon the most
vigorous campaign in its history. 1t
has begun its work by placing be-
fore the people, ticket which is un-
precedented. from the standpoint of
ability. Every section of Mesa
county is represented. and it will be
distinctly a Mesa county and not a
Grand Junction campaign alone.
1t costs money to conduct cam
paign. The Democratic party has not
only declared against corporate con-
troll, but 1t has cut loose from cor
porate domination of all kinds and in
doing so has refused the contents of
the corporate purse In short this is
to be campaign "of the peope. for
the people and by the people" and
to make it such n campaign we want
every Democrat. and every other man
whatever his political belief. whose
purse and conscience will permit, to
contribute the sum of s1.00 for LE-
GITIMATE campaign expenses.
This idea of the dollar campaign
fund is not our own but emanates
from the great commoner William j.
Bryan.

which the Japanese keep carefully to

,tates that a little soil is placed in
half an orange from which the inside
has been removed. In this soil is
placed the seed which it is desired
to grew. As the roots burst through

on with a sharp ltpife. The process is
repeated until the roots evince nc

up to 1908. OF which there were 1872
