strong enough to lead tie independ-
ent forces to victory.
Summing 1t up we have choice
of two evils. Elect Adams or Buch-
tel Adams will make the best gov
erDor nd his election will mean re-
forms in certain directions. So,
while he don't quite fill the bill as
l look at it. I'm going to vote for
him.
Now about the man Gabbert. SUI
preme court candidate. He has 50

sacrifice TO hold him on the beflch
another nine years. 1t is we'll known
among the best Informed that one
of the surest ways for an ambitious
and INSCRIPTIONS lawyer TO rise in
the world is to consistently favor the
corporations. There is no height TO
which thoroughly posted corpora
tion lawyer may. not aspire. There
are some jobs in this world that are
so nasty that you hate to think about
them, and you want to get through
as soon as possible and take bath.
Giving Gabbert his due is one of
them, SO I'm going to quit right
here. 1t is too many for me.
! wish l could turn around and
point with pride to Judge Gabbert's
opponent. Judge Seeds. But | can't.
If / discredit Gabbert / must double
discredit Seeds. Gabbert isn't fair,
neither is Seeds. Cabbert represents
Capital, Seeds represents Labor.
| What we want Is man who repre-
sents neither, but who will stand for
the Square Deal. Not every poor
man is honest, not every rich man a
thief. A man who wears a union
label can be just as unfair, Just as
| prejudiced, just as rank in his deci-
sions as any man with corporation
collar around his neck So it is
with Seeds. He has risen because of
| his union sympathieS just as surely
as Gabbert is favored because he is
the friend of the corporations. and
he don't practice the Square Deal.
In my humble opinion his election
! to the supreme court judgeship would
be something to shame the state.
There is one other thing about Seeds
that l don't like to speak of but he

should know it. His wife recently

( But there are two supreme Judges
to elect this fall, so there are two
more candidates besides Gabbert and
Seeds. One is George X. Harten-
stein of Chaffee county, democrat,
and the other is Charles f. Caswell
OF Grand Junction, republican.
