A. Rex MOllETTE.

Pagosa Springs New Era.
The nastiness of the Durango Dem
ocrat's attack ON Rex Mollette reflects
the kind of warfare that paper and
Mollete's enemies are waging against
him. We can answer for the Repub-
lican candidate for district attorney
the question propounded him by the
Democrat-"Were you not disturber
in Archuleta county?"-in the affirma-
tive. Yes, Mollette was a disturber
here; he disturbed the peace of sew
eral people who desired to graft un-
molested. and when he was candI
date for district attorney several years
ago the people rewarded him for his
activity in being a disturber by giving
him over 500 majority in Archuleta
county. Yes, Mollette is the kind of
d!sturber the people want, but the par
| asites cut him out.

Montezuma Journal.

MonteZuma Journal.
In making your choice for district
attorney there are many things to
lake into consideration, and the voters
are asked to give the matter careful
thought. Many think there should be
change in this office, and to these
A. Rex Mollette especially appeals.
or conceded ability and unimpeach-
able standing as an attorney he will
carry out the will of the people in the
administration of this office, and en-
deavor to safeguard their interests In
every way. The convention which
nominated him believed that the best
interests of this district demanded tlii
election OF Mr.. Mollette to this Office.
which he is eminently qualified to fill.
We believe the voters will take this
view of the matter as against either of
his opponents, and place their cross
after the name of A. Rex Mollette.
Give him your vote.

new While Mr.. Mollette resided here
and after his removal the Times
Observer was against him politically
and contained the usual attacks made
in the heat of political debate, but we
want to do him the justice to state now
that while living in this county his
character and habits were above re-
proach and Pagosa Springs would well
come him back as a resident and at.
torney If he should return to our
midst.

his abstract office. Further, no one
has known Mr.. coston to stint himself.
You, Mr.. Farmer, have been HAVING =
hard time Of It. This spring cold
weather and rains cut down your hay
crop, then along came heavy rains
about harvest time and you sustained
another loss and last but not least,
week ago along came severe freeze,
catching many of you with potatoes In
the ground. Some Of you have not
paid your taxes. The county will not
wait. You must sacrifice again or
your lands will be sold, while Mr..
coston has been drawing a big salary,
rain or shine, and still he says It's
wrong to make him pay his taxes. He
irtimates he should go tax free-trat
the farmer and the smeiter is the only
ones who should be assessed.
In conclusion, Mr.. Taxpayer, we de.
sire to say that personally we have
not one word to say against Mr.. Co.'S
ton. He may refer to us as a smelter
peon. a favorite term, and he may
continue to mislead the voters, and
still we have, will have nothing to say
against the man as a man, but his
official actions are open to publicity
and If we have not published facts we
will ask to have Mr.. Coston placed in
office for life.
The Herald will take up the land
and cattle valuations tomorrow. both
in La Plata and other counties.

Clark Protected
Dave Days Joint

Whenever political friend or
foe, of JOHN CLARKE says, he
ever did an official wrong, that
citizen lies. John Clarke goes
down the line of duty and he went
all the way with Dave. We have,
and are entitled to no considera-
tion other than extended to an
ordinary, an everyday culprit, and
God knows we are with, of and
for the common people.-DemoS
crat.
The above shows that Day is still
explaining. He is shielding Clarke from
wrong doing. Clarke shielded David
F. Day and turn about is fair play.
Day was running whisky joint. The
authorities considered the protests of
the people and refused him a license.
What difference did this make to the
self-righteous Day? None. Why? Be
cause he knew his men-knew the dis
trict attorneys office and the sheriff
was on his side and would not molest
him. True, they could arrest him.
Nc harm in this-so long as they did
not close his joint. The facts prove
that Day knew just what he was do
ing. Any other man would have been
up against the real thing There is
no warrant of law permitting saloon
to run without license and Day and
Clarke and the district attorneys Of
fee knew this and that it was the
duty OF the sheriff to close the place
is known to every man and Clarke
will not deny that he is that ignorant
that he does not know it. For this
protection Day is backing Clarke.
Clarke must be elected, is the slogaS
of Dave. To elect Clarke alone will
not do. Day must have willing tool
for district attorney. He must also
have a majority of county commits
sioners willing to do his bidding.
These men are Coston, Scouton and
Tovrea. What cares Day for the law
If backed up by willing tools? This
is a plain proposition for voters. If
they want Day to be permitted to
violate the law where any other man
would be sent to jail, then re-elect
Clarke and the men who stand with
him.

Why Cline and
McEwen Should Win

The Herald is earnestly working for
the election of DIR. w. w. McEwen
and G.. T. Cline to represent the peo-
pie of this section in the senate and
lower house of the general assembly.
The Herald feels that all prejudices
should be cast aside and the men and
women of the two counties elect men
who will in turn work for La Plata
county The election of the Democrat
ic nominees means voting for Charles
j. Hughes, who In turn stands pledged
to vote to remove the duty on sugar
and thereby close every factory IN
the state. All things being equal,
therefore, this one proposition should
insure the election of DR.. McEwen and
Mr.. Cline. Both are able men-aole
to debate on the floor of the senate
and house, and we all know that DIR.
McEwen is experienced In legislative
matters and knows how to go to work
to secure the passage of measures
beneficial to the county and the peo-
pie in general. Let us state right
mere that we have nothing personal
to say against Messrs. Weaver and
West. Private dealings and private af.
fairs of Mr.. West are not issues in this
campaign, but official records are open
to criticism. We have been offered
n oh IT, gr
to certain land matters and otl.ei
things, but we do not consider them
issues in this campaign. Mr.. Cline ia
clean gentleman and he wants a
clean-cut and mauly fight-wsnts to
win on his merits and the merits of
the issues he stands for. On these
issues we feel that Mr. Cline sh oulG
be elected Regarding Mr.. Weaver.
the Democrat has made 1t plain on
many occasions that he should not
be elected And If the followers of
Dave Day take him i'll earnest let
them look up back files. As for The
Herald attacking Mr.. Weaver, we are
not going to do II so long as the
campaign is conducted decently be-
tween opposing nominees. If the vo.
ters are not willing to elect members
OF the legislature on the issues con.
fronting them. especially when they
have an opportunity of voting for good
men. then they will not elect them by
abuse of the opposition. Again we
say vote for West and Weaver ia
vote for Charley Hughes, and here
is what Dave Day had to say Of Mr..
Hughes less than two months ago:
1--WE trust the San Juan dele
gates will find it harmonious to
support Thomas J. O'Donnell for
United States senator-certainiy
not Charles J. Hughes. Guggen-
helm represents the Hughes idea
of corporate rulel-Duranso Dem
ocrat editorial of Sept. s, 1908.
And, again, the following:
"Charles j. Hughes is a Wall
street Democrat-he has the price.
Democrat Of Sept. 10.
Conditions have not changed
Hughes is still the corporation candi.
date-the man who fixes things. Bat
the corporation part is not half SO
bad as electing a man who Will keep
our industries down and forever keep
sugar factory out of our county.
The farmers should be unit on this
proposition. They should bear IN mind
that farmers are solidly for the Re.
publican ticket in every sugar beet
district in the state. They realize the

Center Dispatch.


A. r. Mollette of Durango. former
resident of Alamosa and well known
throughout this part of the state, last
week received the Republican nomi.
nation for district attorney of the
Sixth judicial district at the conven.
ton held in Durango. The editor OF
the Dispatch being personally ac.
quainted with Mr.. Mollette, feels safe
In saying that the Republicans of
that district might easily have made a
worse choice and would have hard
work in making better one. For
several years he was county attorney

merly resided, and that county never
had more conscientious and pains.

The Democrats campaign of false
hood has met with many mishaps.
First the Democrat attempted to pis-
lead voters by stating that Messrs.
Scouton and Toyrea paid taxes ~
$4,000 worth of realty. Records SNOW

$4,000 worth of realty and personal
holdings.
