II is with commendable pride and
satisfaction that we review the record
made by all of the Republican office
holders in the county of Clear Creek.
That the administration of the affairs
of the respective offices have teen car
ried on with economy and in an able
and conscientious manner Under the
supervision of Republican hoard of
county commissioners during the past
four years, in which they have had the
able assistance and hearty cooperation
of Mr.. L. l.. Ellis, the Democratic men,
Der of said board. during the past two
years, our county has been relieved
from the incompetent management
formerly in control. Under the Repub-
lican management of the past four
years, current expenses have been
paid, county institutions and roads
have been supported, conducted and
kept in repair Bridges have been
built, at less expense than Under the
Democratic administration. The cur
rent expenses of the county have been
paid, not ii single warrant has been is-
sued bearing interest and during the
last two years the assessed valuation
has been decreased and by January /.
1909, nearly $4,000 of Indebtedness, all
of which was incurred under Demo-
cratic administration of the county af-
fairs, has been paid, and on that date
the county will be practically out of
debt. We believe there is no county IN
better administration of county affairs,
