try, destined to challenge the atten-
ton of the world with it's tremendous
output of valuable ores. He made the
most of his early opportunities, and
in due time became identified with
the prominent men of the camp.
He was also one of the men who
succeeded in opening up the camp of
Robinson in the early eighties, being
for ten years manager of the Robin
son Consolidated Mining Company. He
also held large interests in the Rein
deer property, an active producer of
the Leadville district.
He served three times as mayor of
Leadville, enjoying the confidence and
esteem of his home people first of all,
as he now enjoys that of all Colorado
citizens. He was elected to the state
senate in 1902, and temporarily un-
seated in favor of his Democratic op-
ponent, Daniel Healy. Later Healy
was unseated, and Mcdonald given the
seat to which he was justly entitled.
In 1904 he was elected lieutenant gov
ernor, and became governor upon the
resignation of Governor Peabody. At
that time he was an unknown force
in state affairs, but his able manner
of handling affairs of state soon made
him we'll and favorably known.

Jesse F. Mcdonald, now candidate
on the Republican state ticket for
second term as governor of Colorado.
is one of the most beloved men in the
state today. He took his office for his
first term in the midst of turmoil and
confusion. At the time it looked as
though his administration must be
failure-in fact, as though no man
could hope to put Alright the confusion
then existing.
But he succeeded in doing all this
and more. He not only poured oil
upon the troubled waters of Colorado
politics, but in a few weeks he was
conducting affairs of state in a quiet
and orderly manner, and so successful
was he in continuing this condition
that his administration became widely
known for it's force and quiet accom-
plishment.
Mr.. Mcdonald was born at Ashtabu-
la, Ohio, June 80, 1858, being of Scotch
Irish parentage. He moved with his
family to Pennsylvania when he was
six years old. He was given pub
lie school and academic education in
the neighborhood of his home, and
then decided to come West. On March
1, 1879, he arrived in Leadvlle, then

In 1906, Governor Haggott was
elected by a plurality of over 5000 to
represent the Second Congressional
district in the SiXtieth Congress. and
at the beginning of the first session,
December, 1907, Speaker Cannon
placed him on the committees on post
office and post-roads. and expendi-
lures of the Treasury Department. The
committee on post-office and post
roads is the third ranking committee
of the House of Representatives, and
it is very seldom that a new member
of Congress is placed thereon, as men,
berships on the three ranking COM
mittees of the House are usually saved
for promotion of older members who
have served on the lower committees.
Congressman Haggott was thus given
high rank in the House at the very be-
ginning of his first session.
