Splendid Victory in Sight.

So far the Republican campaign in
this state has failed-to disclose a sim
Gle Republican disscnter. If there
are any Republicans going to vote for
Alva Adams they are keeping mighty
quiet about it. The Democratic rank
and file are so lukewarm in the sup
port of Democratic issues that they
can not muster the courage to ask
Republican orators any questions at
Republican meetings.
Two years ago Democratic inter-
'ptions of Republican speakers oc-
c"rrcd at every meeting in almost
every part of the state. This year
hey have lost their interest. The
Espublican arguments are unanswer-
able. Even the Democrats can un-
derstand them.
The splendid attendance at Repub-
lean me tings throughout the state
and the prompt and spontaneous re-
snonsc of the people to the good
points made by the Republican ora
tors, show an extraordinarily salts
t5ctory condition of the public mind.

A Democratic Lie Nailed.

Senator Patterson and the Demo-
cratic state press. which. parrot-train-
ed. reiterates the campaign lies pro-
mulgated by his Denver Yeliows, have
been busy circulating the fai.chood
that the famous Prosperity Special.
on which Chancellor Buchtel and the
Republican state candidates have been
touring the state. has been paid for by
the railways. This is an absurd lie.
for II has already been announced
BY Chairman Vivian that he contract.
cd with the different railways for this
special At the regular mileage rate.
and paid in cash for the service on
some roads before II was performed.
The Republican party is under no OBJ
legations to the railways for this
train and ii is paying its way as Il
goes.
Aiva Adams Is backed by at least
two railways, one Of which he sup
ported in its fight for railway trust
law making mergers possible in this
state. II Is by the means OF such lies
as this that the Patterson party Is
trying to keep he public mind away
from the fact of Adams infamous
railway alliances.

Whit Sal the Voters.

The only argument used so lar by our
Democratic Niends against County Clerk.
Garwood and Deputy Treasurer Downer
is that they have seen four years service.
and should be retired.
OF course this seems too silly 10 talk
about by full grown men. and no one
pays the least attention 70 it.-Why
should they?
The people realize fully the value of
experience in directing county affairs. as
witness the fact that Geo. Barr has been
sheriff for nine years, and Mr.. Besrbohm
mas been comfy treasurer for the same
length Of time. Each Of those gentlemen
could have had another nomination had
he desired ii. for each discharged the
duties Of his Office with greater efficiency
year after year.
How absurd the claims Of our Demo-
cratic friends. Does tho farmer dis
charge good man simply TO maze roam
for an untried hand? Or does tho mer-
chant discharge his old and trusted clerk
for new man Of whom he knows moth.
ing? The idea Is preposteFous. and only
needs 10 be stated 70 be ridieulsd.
We arc inclined to think that our friends
are insinesrs In making this argument. or
else they forget things.
They must have overlooked tho fact
that the democratic Clerk Of the District
Court in this county has held that posi-
u on for over twelve years past. and has
not resigned even unto this day."
The present County Judge will have
served seven years at tho close Of his
presnt tsrm. and his party has no, insist
ed on him giving somebody else q
chance"
Their candidate for Sheriff has served
two terms In that capacity previously.
and yet he received tho assistance Of the
party in his campaign. and no doubt az
poets its support at tho polls. He does
not seem to figure tha, hs ought to pass
Il round" as their orators declare.
Isn't Il too transparent entirely?
They want tho rule applied to Rspubli-
cans only-don', fis in their case. At all
at all.
Tho people arc no. deceived. They
know that training and experinee in the
two Offices named are required and they
know also that tho Republican candidates
have tho training and tho experience TO
properly discharge tho duties Of these Of.
fees.
Because Of tho fact ,ha. Mr. Garwood
and Mr.. Downer have had this experience
and arc in every way qualified TO fill
those Offices, and In addition 70 those
qualifications Ero pleasant and agreeable
gentlemen with whom to transact busi-
moss. wo urgo tho voters o! o,ero county
to their best interests by keeping these
gentlemen in those Offices.
The Republican party requires ofiiei-
eney and honesty in its officials and these
gentlemen "f,ll the bill' in every partieu-
lar.
In giving thcm your support you make
no mistake. notwithstanding tho rawlings

Be Careful Abou. me Judiciary.

In talking up their ticket Repubii.
cans should not neglect to keep in
mind the great importance Of lending
strong support to the judicial ticket.
Without the right kind OF judges
on the bench much that would be of
interest to the public would be lost.
as the people OF the Tenth judicial
distrie, who have been up against the
proposition know.
We want no corporation judges
next time. no judges OF extreme par
tisan views. no judges who spend
their time working politics instead of
giving their time to the duties of their
Offices.
And so now that there is afforded
an opportunity to place on the bench
such men as Lyman !. Henry and
James a. Park il should not be over
looked nor thrown away. for they are
men who will do their full duty by
all persons concerned regardless OF
partyisms or anything else.
The poor man will stand just as
good chance before them as the
rich man. for they arc cast in the
right mold and will no, be unduly in-
ilucnced.
Puebloans have the greatest conf
dcnce in Judges Henry and Park, and
they can and do bcspcsk for them TO
the voters of Otero and Kiowa eoun-
ties good word; for these two coun-
tics arc also in the Tenth judicial dis
trict along with Pucblo.-Pucblo In

Chairman Vivian of the Republican
state committee. although extremely
short Of campaign funds. has organ.
ixed systematic plan OF reaching
the voters through speakers and also
daily bulletins issued to nearly 1000
precinct committeeman and other par
~ workers. The state press Is also
doing magnificent work and Is abso-
lu,eiy unanimous for the state ticket.
The Republican party in Colorado has
never been so solidly united for
ticket as il is this year. The only
possible danger lies in the over-con-
fidencc Of the average Republican
voter who feels that the party will
win whether he votes or not. This
is a mistake. No Republican can af-
ford to rob his party OF his support
on election day. II only comes once
in two years and he owes Il to hh
party to give il few minutes OF his
time on that day of all others.

Has he Had It Long Enough.

The only campaign thunder that w
can learn OF Mr.. r. c. Todd, democratic
candidate for County Clerk and his
friends. using against County Clerk Gar
wood. Is that he has served two terms
and has held Office long enough, and tina,
it should be passed around. What dc
you think Of that?:.
What would Mr.. Todd think IL the COM
pany by which he is employed would say
to him "You have served this company
faithfully for several years, your work
has been perfectly satisfactory, we have
no fault whatever to find with your SER
vices. However. we feel that you have
held tho position long enough, and should
step down and out SO that we can pick
up new and inexperienced man and
teach him the business. What would Mr..
Todd think Of deal like this? What
would a business man, farmer or any
other person who employs help think of a
proposition like this? Yet Mr.. Todd and
his friends are trying to place Mr.. Gar
wood in the above light before the peo-
pie.
The office of County Clerk is one of
the most important in the County. The
title to our homes depends upon the cor
rectness of the records made in that office,
and no matter what business experience
man may have had before, the duties
in the Clerks office are entirely different
from any other line of business, and no
matter who may be elected, he goes in as
an entire stranger to that line of work
and has it all to learn, and if he proved
to be the right man in the right place,
the longer the public can retain his SER
vices, the more valuable he becomes to
the public,
After all that has been said on this
subject MIR. and Mrs. Voter it is up to you
to decide and is merely plain business
proposition. Is it good business Judgment
to turn down" a thoroughly experienced
and capable man las all the voters re-
gardless of their political faith, acknow-
ledge Mr.. Garwood to bel to give the po-
sition to an inexperienced man in this
line of work, who would nave the business
all to learn at the tax payers expense?
We do not think it is. Please think this

Chairman John F. Vivian Of the
state central committee urgently calls
upon every Republican to get out to

He says: Every Republican owes it
to his party and his country to give

at least few moments every two
years to- cast his vote. Every party
worker is in duty bound to make an
extra effort to get Republican voters

"A Constitutional Amendment to Be

a matter which has been given
practically no attention in the news.
papers is the Constitutional amend.
ment upon which the voters will be
called to pass judgment next month
1t appears that the last legislature
was prevailed upon to submit this
amendment by those who wish to in
troducc voting machines into our
elections. The constitutional amend
mcnt was not needed to make some
OF the suggested changes in the bal
lot laws, but it was necessary to per-
INIT the use of voting machines. The
amendment of course does not re-
quire the use OF such voting machines,
but it does authorize city councils
and county commissioners to buy
such devices when they deem it nee
cssary and provide for their use.
The. Pueblo Post does not approve
this election innovation, saying that
While its use might eliminate some
forms of fraud, it would have no
power or even tendency to prevent
the frauds which are most gigantic
III their nature. The Post thinks that
IN the hands of such a gang as has
ruled Denver for many years, it would
become an instrument to facilitate
fraud and make its detection more
difficult.
We do not know enough of the
mechanism of the voting machines
to venture an opinion as TO whether
or not they would give the Denver
gang increased power for election
rascality, but if the machiue can be
iraudulently manipulated the Denver
crowd would surely find it ont and
work the mechnism to the limit AT
least that is a reasonable supposition,
Judging the future by the past. On
the whole it will doubtless be better
to carefully amend our present Aus
tralian ballot law rather than provide
an amendment to the Constitution.
