others go right to work and do them.
Hon. j. Frank Church belongs to the
latter class and he does his work well in
all lines. He is a native Coloradoan

life has been spent on farm and he
is one Of the leading successful farmers
and stock raisers in this state. He re-
received his ear educational training
in the district school, then took a
course in the Denver Business college
and subsequently completing his edu-
cation in the University Of Colorado at
Boul er. Hence he is thoroughly ac-
.luainted with the needs Of our school
system both from training therein and
experience in the broader fields of &C:
tive life, and is fully equipped to legis-
late thereon in the most intelligent
manner. Himself an Industrious man,
applying himself assiduously to his vo-
cation, he is in sympathy with

Judge Flor Ashbaugh Republican
nominee for judge of the first judicial
district. is man who has proven him
SELF eminently fitted for that position.
He was born in Moundville, Mo. No
yember IL. 1870. in the spring Of 1850
he came with his parents to Colorado,
locating in Leadviile. In the following
October. the family took up a perma-
nent residence in Central City. Eight
years later young Ashbaugh went 10
Aspen, Colo, which was then at the
zenith of its prosperity. where he Sc
cured position on the Aspen tram
way, applying his earning toward the
expenses of his education in his chosen
profession.
In October. 1890. he entered the Law
department of the University of Michi-
gan, at Ann Arbor graduating from
that institution in 1892.
Returning TO Central City he engaged
in the practice of law. and in 1898 was
elected by the Republicans to the
county bench. Three years later he
was reelected by majority OF over
l,200 votes and third time he was
elected, running ahead of his ticket by
fully 1000 votes.
In 1906 Judge Ashbaugh was the
hollilte tOi ulSlIilt Vi Tie llIsi
judicial district and was only de-
feated by a very small margin. This
was remarkable. taking into considera-
ton the fact that his opponent, Judge
A. II. DeFrance had occupied the dis
trict bench for twelve years and was
very well-known and well-beloved
throughout the entire district.
In May, 1907. Judge Ashbaugh was
appointed by the governor to fill the
vacancy caused By the death of Judge
DeFrance. and has filled 1t In a credi-
table and impartial manner. meriting
the respect and confidence of all liti
gants coming before him.
When Judge Ashbaugh assumed the
duties of the office, the docket was
fully nine months behind throughout
the district, owing to the protracted i'll
health of the late Judge DeFrance; but
by untiring and conscientious -applica-
ton he has succeeded in bringing it
up to date.
Judge Ashbaugh comes before the
peop.e with the unanimous endorse
ment of his party and with the respect
OF the bar of his district.
His campaign will be clean, straight
forward and dignified and. If elected.
his aim will be to keep the bench of
this district up to the high standard
which 1t has always occupied in the
past.
