Elwood M. Moscript's name has been
suggested by several business men IS
first class timber for candidate for
county treasurer. His nomination
would mean a thorough business ad-
ministration and his long and high
standing in this community, morally,
socially. financially and from a busi-
ness standpoint, would inspire conf
dence in the voters and make him
strong candidate and vote getter.
Frank Moonan's name was among
those who would make successful
county treasurer as published in the
Siftings-News last week His friends
are urging him to be candidate for the
house of representatives. Frank will
fit into any position and will make
success in any Office he may be called
~ bon to fill.
1t is reliably reported that w. A.
Dies, of Golden will not be candidate
for district judge OF the first judicial
district. If this is the case there seems
to be no opposition to Judge Flor Ash
baugh and he will be his own successor.
His record has been clean and charac-
terized by diligence, promptness and
thoroughness. He belongs to the class
that makes good"

The convention should not neglect to-
day to select it's chairman for the en-
suing two years and its new precinct
committeeman. 1t is essential that
this should be done in order that the
campaign should begin at once. This
will be done if the nomination for
county officers are made at this session
but in the event of an adjournment for
future nominations, this matter of
committeeman should not be overlooked
In addition to this the chairman
should have the privilege of selecting
his own secretary as it insures hearty
cooperation and between these two
officials there should be the most cor
dial personal and official relations.
At the Republican congressional con-
vention, held in Pueblo last April, Hon.
w. A. Haggott was renominated as his

as the law provides that the certificate
of nomination must be filed atleast thir-
ty days prior to the election and not
more than sixty days prior thereto, 9

proper filing with the Secretary OF
State as provided by law. This com
