Every day you notice in the
papers the names of those who
have contributed to the Demo-
cratic campaign fund and the
amount each one has given. The
publication of these contributions
is in accord with the advocacy of
the Democratic platform for pub
licity of the donations before elec-
ton. The Republicans favor pub
licity of campaign contributions
but after election. 1t is now under
stood why they want to keep the
people in the dark until after elec-
ton. the corporations have been
appealed to for generous donations
to save the states for Taft that are
rapidly sliding into the Bryan
column, and the names OF these
contributors would not look we'll
in print just before election.
Gilpin observer., 1908-10-29

Isn't it a reflection upon the
intelligence of every vcter in the
state for the Republicans to at
tempt to hoodwink the people
with such platform and newspaper
arguments as these? Such bun
combe as this is its own rebuke:
"Mr. Guggenheim is not run

Making Good.

There is no way of making lasting
friends like making Good" and Doctor
Pierce's medicines well eXemplify this,
and their friends, after more than two
decades of popularity. are numbered by
the hundreds of thousands. They have
rmade good and they have not made

A good, honest, square deal medicine of
kn9Wn ,c1%m1position Is DR.; Perees Golden

tions that have come into prominence in
the earlier period of its popularity have
rgone by the board and are never more
heard of. There must be some reason for
be found in its superior merits. When
once given fair trial for weak stomach.
or for liver and blood affections, its supe-
rior curative qualities are soon manifest;

articles have suddenly flashed into favor
for brief period and then been as soon
forgotten.
For torpid liver with its attendant
indigestion, dyspepsia, headache, per-
tongue, with bitter taste, loss of appetite,
with distress after eating, nervousness
and debility. nothing is so good as Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. It's
an honest, square-deal medicine with all
its ingredients printed on bottle-wrapper
- no secret, no hocus-pocus humbug,
therefore don't accept a substitute that
the dealer may possibly make little big
ger profit. Insist on your right to have
what you call for.
Don't buy DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
tion expecting it to prove rcure-all." 1t

w. M. Morgan, the Democratic

two years OF age. He is a grad

You should vote for George
Hamllik for coroner and we will
tell you why. He is young man
who is ambitious to forge to the
front. He does not want the po-
sition principally for the remun-
Grafton he would receive, but be.
cause it will be of aid to him in
his professional licensed embalm-
er and undertaker-which he is
desirous of following. His op-
ponent has filled the position six
or eight years. He has good
practice in medicine and the Office
to him amounts to nothing either
in the way of prestige or revenue.
In most cities the coroner is an

find a physician serving in that
position. Even if your political
affiliations are not the Same as Mr..
Hamllik's, you can give him a vote
without inconveniencing yourself
in the least.

County taxes have been reduced
the past year and with the cam.
paign of economy inaugurated by
the Democratic commissioners
another reduction will be made
next year. The Democratic board
has made record that the tax
payers appreciate and the party is
proud of. Upon assuming Office
the present administration had to
wipe out large indebtness which
came as a "hang-over" from their
Republican predecessors. The
county is now entirely out of debt,

Our competitor in some respect

Our competitor in some respects
reminds us of Zola, the novelist,
who it is said would pass whole
weeks in the belief that he was an
idiot and while in that state imag-
ined he could write. Last week he
was lamenting the practically con-
ceded election of Judge Hicks and
could see the possibility of G. j..
Hughes being shelved for U. s..
senator and Tom Patterson walk
ing off with the toga. Just dis
orders of the stomach is all that
effects our Republican friend. He
will be all right, perhaps, when it
works off.

Regarding Judge McCaIrs Candldacu.

To the Voters of the First Judicial Dis
trict of the State of Colorado:
The Golden Globe, bought and own
ed Guggenheim Machine paper and one
of the most reprehensible mud singers
in the State of Colorado, has for some-
time past been printing personal abuse
of Judge Mccall. Last weeks issue
devoted whole column of slanderous
abuse, it being evident that the intention
and plan of the machine is to have this
slanderous article republished in every
machine paper in the district, when it
is too late for an answer to be made
through the press, therefore take this
method to say to the voters of the dis
trict that upon my personal knowledge
the purported facts in said article
against Judge Mccall are absolutely
false, and to say further that had oc-
casion sometime ago to thoroughly in
vestigate this matter and that I found
them without foundation, and are now
being published at the behest of the
political machine, which is being badly
scared, with the malicious purpose of
injuring Judge McCall's chances of
election, and also injuring the Demo
cratic ticket in Jefferson county.
Judge Mccall is we'll and favorably
known in Jefferson county as an honest
and upright man and judge. His friends
know him to be true, and his record as
Judge is above reproach, and the attack
to bolster up lost cause.
GEO. B. CAMPBELL.
Gilpin observer., 1908-10-29

Just vote the Democratic ticke.
straight Tuesday. Don't try to
scratch as you may spoil your bal
lot. The ballot is large one
larger than it has ever been before
in this state on account of the new
offices that have been created-and
is very confusing when it comes to
voting for candidates Independent
of party. Write Democratic in
stead of Bryan at the head of your
ballot, for the latter only carries
the state and national tickets.
Gilpin observer., 1908-10-29

The Golden Globe says Ash
baugh comes before the voters for
reelection on the record he has
made during the past two years.
Yes, and that very record is going
to be the undoing of him. Ash
baugh has given general dissatis-
faction throughout the entire dis
trict if the attorneys who practice
before him can be accepted as
critics. In what civil cases he has
passed judgment in in this county,
they have either been appealed to
the supreme court or new trial
has been asked. 1t will be seen
where litigation is most expensive
when the lawyers and their clients
have no confidence in the ability
of the judge.
Gilpin observer., 1908-10-29

Vote for Hicks for representa-
tive and send man to the legis-
lature who has declared himself
and has the ability to back up
those declarations. What we want
is a man who will create enough
stir in that body to keep us mind
full of the fact that we are being
represented.
Gilpin observer., 1908-10-29

1t is not question as to who
will be elected on the county tick
cts as almost everyone is agreed
that the Democrats will carry every
candidate to victory, but which
one will have the largest majority.
All will have substantial MAORI
ties.

JOHNNY Vivian saws there ne,

Johnny Vivian says there never
was time when the Republicans
had better reasons to be proud of
their party and its achievements.
He makes no mention, though, of
these particular achievements and
the only one we can call to mind
is Guggenheim.
Gilpin observer., 1908-10-29

1t was very sensible in the Re-
publican managers to place the
number of electoral votes Taft
would receive at 3O6 in the begin
ming Of the campaign. 1t left q
large margin for reduction. They
now have the vote down to 214
and it is still on the slide.

The Middle Park Times says it

The Middle Park Times says it
is Republican when Republican
ism stands for manhood and prin-
ciple. but wants it strictly under
stood that it refuses to be driven
into cattle shute by any such
grafters as are now doing business
in the name Republicanism. This
is the same view the majority of
Republicans are taking of the situa-
ton.
Gilpin observer., 1908-10-29

Don't. confuse Guggenheimism
with Republicanism. The bunch
of political harlots who are trying
to deliver the state over to Gug-
genheim are merely mas9uerading
under the name Republican.
Gilpin observer., 1908-10-29

1t must be that the editor of the
