N. ]. MAYES

Should NJ J. Mayes, one of our bus
mess men, be elected to the office Of
trustee of this city, the people Of the
town can rest assured that he will
work for them. What is best for the
whole people will be best for him and
he knows it, and will have that as his
guide.
He holds that the people Of the town
have given their verdict regarding the
light and water plants. His word can.
not be doubted for minute by any
fairmnded person. Mayes is with ths
people all the time and with that IN
mind will do all in his power to have
the town cleaned and the aai,on L.
censcs raised to a good substantial
amount.
Give Mr.. Mayes your support ani
place him in position to serve you ~
trustee He will prove faithful to the
trust you have in him.

PAUL H. oLDENBURG

When Mr.. Oldenburg made the mo
tion in the council meeting some weeks
ago to increase the saloon license, he
cast bomb among the members of
that body. He asked that the license
be increased, and with the vote of
Councilman Cardnell to assist him, he
went down to defeat in his first bat
tic for better conditions. When he ac-
ccpted the place at the head of the re.
publican ticket another bomb was hurl.
ed, but people are now seeing that
Paul is in earnest and means what he
says about the raising of the license.
He is one of our business men and
has the future of our city at heart.
He believes in clean town and a town
for homes as against a town for un-
desirables. The people who are trying
to clean up the city ask you to vote
for him for mayor

DO We Want
THE NORMAL SCHOOL?

once before defeated Glenwood Springs
claims to this school, and twice de
feated the county high school propo,
sition?
Bear this in mind when you cast
your ballot on Tuesday, you voters OF
Glenwood Springs. Remember this is
Glenwood Springs last chance. The
town has every natural advantage over
other claimants for this school. Down
in Grand Junction, our most formid-
able rival, they are having a fight for
a clean town without any clouding of
the issue What chance, think you,
will Glenwood Springs have before the
committee when it selects a site for
that school if present conditions in
Glenwood Springs are allowed to con
tinue? Vote for the men on the re-
publican ticket and you vote for q
clean town and normal school in
Glcnwood Springs. And vote for the
whole ticket, or you will lose the nor
NAL school Don It be mised by an"
private promises by democratic candi'
dates who are afraid to make the
pledge public as the republican canli'
dates have done.

Glcnwood Springs again has chance
to get the western slope state normal
school, and this will be its last chance.
On Tuesday the senate passed bill
proyidinp for n normal school on the
western slope, the site to be selected
by a committee composed of the gov
ernor, the superintendent of public in
struo.ion and the president of the nor
NAL school at Greeley. 1t is reported
that the bill will undoubtedly become
law. 1t carries an appropriation oil
$4,000, enough to put up good build
ing.
This will settle once and for all the
prob able location of the school, and by
rs action the legislature practically
passed up the location to the towns
which are competing for the instltu'
ton, for it is certain that the COM
mittee will exercise care and not make
the decision until after the proper in
ve-tigation.
Does Glcnwood Springs want TINS
school? Senator Napier has worked
for Glenwood in this particular, and
now will his democratic friends back
him by removing the conditions which

LOCAL FIRE BOYS
ELECT OFFICERS

Chief, r. f. Bryant.
Assistant Chief, J. p. Rittmay-
CT.
Secretary, II. G. Kennedy.
Foreman, Archie Farley.
Assistant Foreman, Ira Burge.
The above are the officers Of
the Glenwood volunteer fire de-
partment elected at the annual
meeting held last Friday night
The boys composing this de-
partment have had but little to
do in the fire fighting line but it
is due to their promptness in re-
spending to calls and fast telling
work on the scene, that Glenwood
has not had some big blazes.
1t will be rem embered that the
Farnum undertaking establish
ment narrowly escaped destruc-
tion recently. The boys made
quick work of it and this, no
doubt saved that part of the
business section. 1t is true that
the boys receive no pay for their
services and often practically de-
stroy their own clothing, but they

there, for he was helpless and not un-
til the dread pneumonia had fastened
its clutches on his vitals did friends
find him and remove him to his bed.
1t was too late and on Wednesday he

Sad it is indeed, that Glenwood
should be the scene of such, but

Great God counts up the good deeds
of James Duff He will find enough to
far outweigh anything that may be
said against him. Peace b the old

POLICE HAVE MADE ESTIMATE


"That we have some undesirable cit
izens here is doubtless true, and that
we have some vices that ought not to
be no one will attempt to deny."-
Mayor Drach.
The information comes to this office
that the city police force has made
now estimates that there are 100 of
these undesirable people, who include
the tinhorns, hangers-on and FOUNDERS.
1t is also charged that they are being
colonized in the saloon rooming houses
for the purpose of voting at the cleo
ton to be held Tuesday.
These people will every one vote for
Mayor Drach and the entire democratic
ticket. The good people of the town
viii have to overbaLance their vote or
conditions will not be improved for at
least another year.
This class Of people does not want
a normal school and will do all it can
to defeat it.
This is the class of people that conf
pels decent ladies' to either keep off the
streets or dodge them as they pass
along. This rs the class of people one
of which approached Glenwood lady
the other night and with drunken
grunts asked her to allow him to ac-
company her to her home. This is the
class of people some of whom have
tried to force their way into Glenwood
homes at night.
This is the class of people that will
control Glenwood for another year un-
less there is cleaning. 1t is the duty
of the good people to vote for the PC
publican candidates, and thus protect
their homes and children from these
human flies.

We're in 1906. when the entries al New York

months OF this year the !mportations of

FAVOR OCEAN PARK.
Or. Fefr 4dier and Laurence
abbott Approve Plan.

DR.. Felix Adler came out yesterday in
favor Of the establishment OF an ocean park
at Rockaway. over which there has been
much discussion. DR.. Adler said:
i am heartily and completely in favor OF
the immediate resumption by the city of its
suspended proceedings TO acquire the mile
and half OF Rockaway beach property
for use by the public as a park. 1t is pos
sibly the last opportunity to obtain a suit
able site for such a park
The Legislature has acted and the Board
of Estimate has approved the site in con-
formity with the united opinion of the
charitable societies and persons interested
Let there be no further delay in comforting
this great benefit upon the masses OF our
population. l cannot conceive that any
public spirited citizen should fail to give
his support TO a measure so wise and so
urgently needed.
Americans are said to know when they
are getting their moneys worth, and to
be especially keen when a good investment
is within reach. Can New York make bet
ter investment to-day than the securing OF
an ocean park for its enormous popula-
tiOn?'
Lawrence Abbott. In an editorial IN THE
Outlook" says:

ApportiOnment OF the city Of New York

complete one piece of unfinished business

its wisdom and efficiency that will be a
source of just pride to each of it's men,

which is already surveyed for location on
the ocean front at ROckaway Beach, which
is within the city limits. This Is a beauti-
full stretch of beach, as open 10 the winds
and waves OF the sea any of the great
beaches OF the world. and yet II can be

voted 10 a modern building and equipment

we believe, appeal to the board and we
hope that the individual members Will see
