STAND UP MR.. REESE.

W. A. Reese had card In the Dem

feet that he was not candidate or
was not the issue in this campaign.
To part of this. we agree-as to can
didacy. but otherwise Mr.. Reese has
taken a part that makes him an issue
along with Mr.. John Coston. In the
first place Mr.. Reese is the city at
torney and is supposed to look after
the interests of the city, scan the
bills, the large ones, especially those
out of the ordinary, seeing that no
gratis are worked, etc, and at the
same time as city attorney he ap-
proved the filching of over $500 by
Mr.. Coston from the city without any
right or law for it, 1t was straight
ont gift. Later on Mr.. Reese takes
great pleasure in the Democratic con
yention in nominating John p. Cos
ton, the poor mans friend. for asses
sor." 1t thus seems that Messrs,
Reese and Coston are working to-
gether.
Mr.. Reese will you say over your
signature Mr.. Coston was paid the
$500 and over as matter of law?
AS lawyer of reputation will you
decree under your signature that Mr..
Coston was entitled to the money un-
der the laws of Colorado?
The Herald informs the taxpayers
of Durango that Mr.. Coston was made
present at their expense and, in or
der to cover up his cunning, attacks
the smelter management. VIII the
taxpaying farmers and business inter
ests be gulled?
