Cañon City record., 1908-10-08

II is no disparagement of its past
acts to say that the ticket nominated
by the Republican party in Fremont
county this year is one of the very
best in the history of the organization
and that it has an excellent prospect
of success at the polls in November
cannot be denied by its opponents. Its
personnel 10 above criticism. and the
honesty and efficiency of those who
compare ii Is such as to appeal TO
voters of whatever political afti1ia-
| tion.
The candidates for the various Of
fees to be filled by the election this
fall were carefully chosen by the Re-
publicans. and the party has NO ex-
cuses nor apologies to make for those
who represent it: they are all worthy
OF public confidence and will not be-
tray any trust imposed upon them.
Pre-eminent qualifications for pub
lie office are integrity. honesty and
ability; characteristics Of which the
Republican candidates have shown
themselves to be possessed. Against
their honor and their efficiency no
question has been raised. nor none
will be, as they stand with reputa-
ton unassailed, and. in the strength
Of their upriKhtness of character fear
no slander. They believe In the prin-
ciples Of the party which has honored

lieve in themselves. A vote for any
