La Junta tribune., 1908-10-31

two year term. we cannot conceive
how the people OF Colorado can do
aught but endorse him again. He
presents the very unusual spectacle
of former office holder against
whom even his most bitter oppon-
ents can bring not charge--not a
syllable to sully or mar his Off
cial actions In a single instance
Can as much be said Of his oppon-
ents, We certainly hope that our
people properly appreciate men Of
this type. and We believe they do.
Let us all do all We can for Cover
nor Mcdonald.
Next in Importance to the head oil
our state ticket Is our state sena-
tor, and in the selection OF candi-
date for this high office the repub-
ican party is singularly fortunate.
You know whom We mean. We all
know George w Swink Well. he's
the man. He's been there before.
and he made good. He'll do II
again, too, We are only telling you
"wha, you yourselves do know.
when we say that no man has done
so much for the Arkansas valley.
SO much for our irrigation systems. .
so much for our beet industry, as
Geo. W Swink. is II any wonder that
the people ali over the country loN-
ingly call him Uncle George" or
course, IL we have to have Beau
Brummell to represent us. or pol
ished and graceful Lord Chesterfield
to make our laws. why. then We have
the wrong man. that's all. lie Is
not this type of citizen neither at
home or abroad. Uncle George"
can't tell you much about the late
styles in clothes. possibly can't go
exhaustiveiy into the merits of the
latest novel: would no doub, fall
down" on a discussion of many :
stract propositions and theories. but
he can tell you the capacity of our
canals and their priorities, the prop
er method of constructing reservoirs
and conserving our water supply. the
value OF sugar beets as a profitable
crop for our farmers He understands
the laws we require. and will work To
get those laws. He is. above all,
honest, straig ight-forward and reliable.
and with his great knowledge OF the
needs OF our valley we believe him
superior In every way to all who
now aspire to that office. We only
do justice To our best Judgment by
supporting Uncle George"
Naturally we want representa-
tive who understands our needs too,
and who can work In full harmony
with Senator Swink. Right there on
the republican ticket you'll find Glen
" Ryan. He's that man. Those
who know him best love him most.
and the very fact that he has not
been criticised In any way ty his
opponents speaks volumes for him.
He must be q. X. Best way to
find out about Mr. Ryan? Ask a
farmer. oh yes, they all know him.
and they are with him, too. You se'
he's one of 'em. that's why. Let's
help them elect farmer once.
Must have county Judge, too
Well. how about Judge Minor2 We
asked lawyer about him as We
dom, know him very well ourselves,
Lawyer said Hes a good lawyer. a
good man, and will make mighty
good county judge. and don't you
forget it." We shall remember it..
and suggest to our readers that they
also remember it. and .act accord
ing" when the great day arrives.
The one office in our county that
requires thoroughly trained and
efficient man is the office of coun-
ty treasurer He is the man that
collects our taxes. takes care of our
money and pays our bills 1t is OF the
very greatest importance that good
book man should preside here
In this connection we call the at
tention Of our readers to the re-
publican candidate for treasurer. Mr.
Chas. r. Evans. No better or more
efficient accountant In our county
than Mr.. Evans. In the language of
young America Hes there"
Mr.. Evans has filled the most re
spopsible positions with credit to him
self and the satisfaction Of his en-
ployers. His one desire II to do
the right thing. and that only. In
