Political Pointers

They are two candidates in the field
for the County Assessor, Chas. A.
Crosson, the present incumbent, and
W. J. Guard, Of Silver Plume.
Ben J. Catren, Jr. and Dave Kenne-
dy, both of Georgetown, have been
mentioned as suitable persons from
which to select a representative.
Both are good men and would fill the
bill.
E. R. Lumley and John r White are
the two names most frequently
heard for nomination for county treasur-
er. There are many persons who
would like to see Frank Moonan placed
on the ticket for this important posi-
Dion-
Judge Roy H. Blackman, who is
now satisfactorily dispensing justice
in the county courts, seems to have no
opposition for the nomination and his
election is foregone conclusion.

By request of a host Of friends,
Frank G. Duffy, of Dumont, has decid-
ed to be a candidate for representative
and will make an active campaign for
the republican nomination. Frank
was born in Colorado and this state
has always been his home. He came
to Clear Creek county over three years
ago and is extensively interested in
mining operations. He is hustler,
thorough business man, loyal to his
friends and would be vote getter.
He would make fearless and straight
forward member of the legislature.
He was in the city the first of the week
shaking hands with his many friends
and admirers.
From some unknown source report
began to be circulated that John r.
White, present deputy county treasurer
had made the statement that if he was
not nominated for treasurer he would
contribute towards the defeat Of
the successful nominee. The Sift-
ings-News interviewed him Monday and
the report was branded by him a. alb
Alutely false and that whoever got the
nomination would receive his most cor
dial support along with the entire
ticket. This paper takes pleasure in
publishing his denial of this unjust
rumor.
George Campbell, present deputy,
is a candidate for the Office of county
clerk and recorder. His familiarity
with the duties of the office along with
his acknowledged competency and
accommodating ways, makes him a
formidable candidate for the position.
Mrs. Lift Orth Garrabrant has been
suggested as an available candidate for
the position of county superintendent
of public instruct ton and she is thorough
ly equipped to perform the duties of
the position.
There is a report gaining ground rap
idly that DR.. H. G. Haeseler, of
Georgetown would fill one of the sem
atorial chairs with becoming dignity
and loyalty. 1t is further stated that
the genial and wide-awake doctor
would not object to having this honor
conferred on him.
From this range of view it looks as it
Frank A. Maxwell and w. H. Jones.
Nho are now on their first term as
county commissioners, would be re-
nominated for second term without any
opposition.
For chairman of the republican county
central committee the name of Royal
r Graham il mentioned. He would
make a pushing official and the opposi-
ton would realize that there il an ac-
tive campaign on hand. He does
things and does them thoroughly. No
better selection could b made.
Bert LaMunyon, Of Dumont, has nu-
merous friends who would be pleased
to see him nominated for Sheriff and
it is stated that he would not be averse
to accepting this honor.

By means Of the grape vine telegraph
it has leaked out that dark horse is
being carefully and quietly groomed
for the race for one of the county
official prizes. The name of this racer,
