We have not regarded Judge Sulli-
van in the lifht of an expert shifter,
but we have come to conclusion that
he would have made a reputation as
relay racer, where lightning like
changes of position and riding ap-
paratus is necessary to success. The
judge has changed his political status
so frequently that it is really hard
to know just where he is at. We find
him riding with bold strides the social
list hobby, then he jumps to the Demo-
cratic broncho and then back again to
the Republican charger. His Demo-
cratic friends were not sufficiently
numerous to hold him in the Demo-
cratic saddle and he was left out in
the cold at the last election. His
heart was Well night broken, but by
the hand of fate he again assumed
the position of county Judge. He play
ed his hand well for the Republican
nomination this time. He drank at
the fountain in the Canon Block, in
the up stairs oil room, daily. He was
the man Friday Of the big joss and
for this homage he was given the nom
nation on a salaver. There is moth
ing like having n political garment
which will admit of frequent changes.

Charles E. Hughes, of New York.
who has accepted the nomination for
governor of New York said in his
speech of acceptance that the cam
paign in New York was not to be one
of Republicans or Democrats. but of
decency. Well and good Mr.. Hughes.
We are glad to see that you have
found out little of decency in the cam
paign principles of the Repub-
lican party in the Empire state. If
you do not know how indecent the
Republican party in that state has
been. after being chief inquisitor OF
the great life insurance companies
and who was responsible for probing
into the campaign contributions OF
those insurance companies to the Re
publican party, which debauched leg
islatures and defeatest honest Demo
Gratis for office, certainly no one
knows. IL you do not, how very in
decent the campaigns of the Repub-
licans have been. We applaud the
sentiment that you have given forth
Mr.. Hughes. You know what you are
talking about. You gave the truth to
the policy holders.

WOULD HONOR THE POSITION.

There are other lawyers who have
the capacity and the dignity to pre-
side over the county court. besides
the present occupant.
Perhaps the present incumbent of
that office is very capable official.
yet that is no argument whaterer
that there are not others who can
equally serve the people.
The Democracy knew, when they
made their nominations that such n
notion that there was no other avail
able candidate would be put forth, in
justification of the Republican party
taking up the candidacy of Judge
sought the best possible candidate for
that position and found him. in the
person of Judge l.. X. Byers, one of
the county's most esteemed citizens
and lawyers.
Judge Byers has been residing in
the county several years past, having
purchased the Chapman property
on Fruit Ridge and also the home of
our former citizen. C. p. Noland. at
the corner of 11th and Main streets.
Judge Byers has been an active prac-
titioner for many years but sought
this county to live a somewhat retir-
ed life combining the practice of his
profession also. He is a gentleman
of the old school, a man learned in
his possession and one whose person
ality invites the closest confidence
and esteem. He does not lend himself
to political yagaries and is not so in
tensely partisan that, he cannot pre-

The Republican organ, speaking
for the campaign committee of the
Republican party. is very touchy over
discussing the third term proposition
for the present treasurer. George
d. Williams. Yet that publication
boasts that it had something to do
with the defeat of a marshal here sew
eral years ago. on the sole ground
that he was after a third term. OF
course no one would expect that pub
lication to be consistent over twenty
minutes at a time.

ers in the convention. You have got
to nominate Mr.. Williams whether
you like it or not Or mother words
they might just as well have said;
What are you going to do about it?'
The average voter can stand consider
able party dictation, but he don't like
to have something pushed down his
throat by a machine gang, who pro
pose to nominate an individual. whe-
ther they like it or not. That was
the condition which prevailed in Mr..
Williams nomination.
The daily sentinel., 1906-10-05

A very peculiar situation exists, re-
garding the candidacy of Judge Sui
livan. Notwithstanding that the
worthy judge has seemingly given
allegiance to the Republican party
and is cheek and jowl with the party
leaders, he has not lost caste with the
socialists. One of their leaders was
asked the reason for the detection of
Judge Sullivan and he gave a know
wink, responded Don't you think it
will sound nice to say that the social
lists of Mesa county have elected a
county Judge" Now this is a sur
prising state of affairs il true. It
could not be that Judge Sullivan
would play his new party friends so
false as that. Yet on the other hand.
why the apparent complaeency of his
soeialistic friends.
The daily sentinel., 1906-10-05

1t is possible that the socialists of
this county have been shrewd enough
to secure the nomination of one of
their leaders to the important posi-
ton of judge of the county court. II
would seem almost so. from the ad-
mission of some of the leaders in the
socialist party. II is said that every
socialist vote win be cast for Judge
Sullivan and that if elected, he will
consider that he is the servant par
ticularly of the party whose schem-
ing brought him to the position to
which he again aspires.

party that gave him their support.
The Sentinel wishes that every
citizen of the county might meet
Judge Byers. If they have any doubts
about him professionally or his ca
pacity to serve the public in that i'm
portant position, all they have to do
is to ask any member of the bar OF
Mesa county and if he is true to his
own honor and the profession, they
cannot possibly do anything else than
give him that mede of praise as
citizen and as an attorney which his
life long service TO his profession de
mands that they should do.

The Democratic party pledges its
candidates, if elected, to turn the
revenues of their respective offices in
to the county treasury and take their
pay vouchers from the general county
government and not from their Offices
as they see fit. There is Just that
condition prevailing in the county
government at the present time. that
arises from too long lease Of power.
1t was just that condition that Wash
ington wished to avoid, when he made
the precedent which has ever since
prevailed, of holding office but two
terms.

The Republican party could now in
corporate that sentence which has
served them so frequently in their
high sounding campaign resolutions:

uished careers of our senators from

JUSTICE FOLLOWS
STRAIGHT PATH.

That was quick justice that was
meted out to John, alias George Nc
Garvey, the murderer of Jailer Ed
ward Innes. Nor was there any un-
due haste in the proceedings leading
up to his conviction for the capital
crime of murder. Judge Stevens felt
the gravity of the situation and he
was loath to have it considered that
the young murderer was railroaded
through the courts, even though the
crime he committed was revolving and
struck the pople with horror, when
they learned of the cowardly kill
ing.
In making the appointment by the
court of an attorney to defend McGar-
vey. Judge Stevens appointed one Of
the leading attorneys at the bar of
Mesa county and in the district. The
man, James S. Carnahan, Esq, the
court knew would make every pos
sible effort in his defense. even
though he accepted the trying posi-
tion with much reluctance. Nor were
the efforts of Mr.. Carnahan under
rated. He made a splendid fight for
his client and McGarvey may feel sat
isfied he had counsel who was unafraid
to make supreme effort, even
though the popular clamor was
against him.
Undoubtedly it is being discussed.
the correctness of the verdict. from
Il purely legal standpoint. on the
tent or not in the commission of the
crime. But the fact. aside from what
ever the intent might have been of
McGarvey. remains that Edward In
mes, the jailer whom he killed stood
in his way for freedom and he made
no calculation what the consequences
of his blows would be. when he de-
livered them.
1t will be said we opine throughout
the state. if there was more justice of
district court of Mesa county yester-
day, there would be less crimes of
that kind committed and more regard
for human life.
Throughout the west human life
has not been held as it should be. Too
many men have been too handy with
the revolver and have adjusted their
personal difficulties at the mouth OF
the gun. 1t is well that such time Is
passing and that all men have due
regard and respect for the law.
We do not like to make it a matter
of Judgment. but the wholesale man
ner in which the supreme court o;
this state overrode the law, that the
political party which seemed to con
troll its judgments might retain pow
er, is to some extent responsible for
the contempt in which the law has
been held. There should have been
dozen or more convictions for muir
der in this state and thereafter We
believe there would be no reign OF
terror and human life would have
been held in the respect that II il
entitled to the world over.

If the money that Judge Sullivan
has spent in paying for sending that

While the Republican party of this
county may pretend to think that the
question of third term is not SER
ious matter, it is so serious that the

not temporize for one moment, when
others wishing to profit by his accept
ing a nomination for third term, in
sist that he accept such nomination.
The daily sentinel., 1906-10-05

The stability of the government
has come from the short terms of its
officers. Washington when he took
such decided stand against permitting
his name to be used for a third term.
did so on the premise that the rights
of the people and the safeguarding of
the Republican form of government,
could only come through short terms
of public officers.

Oficers holding long terms of Of
flee forget their responsibility to the
people. Short terms of office keep
officials constantly in mind of their
responsibility. 1t is not good policy
for one officer to hold position for an
indefinite term of years.
