the words "either party" for 'aggrieved

This is a merry old world. after all.
The Arvada enterprise., 1910-11-04

following reasons: First; the
men who were elected two years
ago haye all made good, . they
have been tested and tried; they
came into the Offices which had
been held almost continually for
forty years by the Republican
party; they have done well and
we now have a right, after their
experience. to expect them to do
still better, consequently, we see
no reason why they should all be
put out and a new set of men
put in, simply because those who
are out and want to get in. are in
another party. That is all bosh,
and that certainly is the only
reason thaS can be truthfully
given for a change.
These men now IN office have
the experience and in the two
years to come will profit by that
experience. ~
1t can truthfully be said that
they are as good set of officers
-as-JeHefsen county ever had
and we believe the county will
be greatly benefited by their re-
election.

Now this is attended to by the

of time to attend to it, so we

come to the conclusion that al
though the 7th General Assembly
ought not to have voted the ex-
cess warrants, yet now that they
have been purchased they are
considered legal state debt and
the interest is steadily growing
SO we may expect to vote yes

general uprising on the part of
the people against the party then
in power. for the reason of the
open and shameful sale of a seat
in the United States senate to ST.
mon Guggenheim.
We believe the reason for that
uprising still holds good in a
large measure although there is
a change of front, apparently to
catch votes, and because it was
necessary so as to get back
nto power, yet it cannot beover-
ooked that Simon Guggenheim
was praised and extolled at the
State Republican convention and
without a single protest from
my of our Jefferson county dele
gates. Furthermore they chose
as nominee for governor John B.
Stephen who is a Guggenheim
follower and voted for his cleo
ton. ~
That vote ought to send Mr..
Stephen down to oblivion. Nc
Guggenheimer should be elected
to any office in the gift of the
people and especially to the high
office of governor. We do not
know of anything more shameful
n the history of Colorado politics,
and that is saying a great deal.
The man for governor, is the
courageous man who defied all
the corrol ations and the ma
chimes in both parties, and gave
us a chance to vote on the Initi-
ative and Referendum, John F.
Shafroth. He has stood between
the people and the milestone mo-
nopolies and now the people have
a chance to stand by him and re-
elect him on November 9Th.
We shall expect great things
from him: His reelection this
time will mean his freedom from
the machine politicians who have
done their level best to kill him
off politically.
Ready Kenehan, the black
smith auditor, was the peoples
watch dog during the past two
years, and will no doubt have a

James B. P cree, in the secre-
ia Us Office, has surely made

thousands of dollars.
Judge James G. Garrigues, who
is running for the Office of Su-
pre- ne Court Justice, said in Den
yer, soon after the burial of
Judge Steele, who was his oppo-
nent for Supreme Judge, Il
knew Judge Steele well and
knew the confidence in which all
parties held him, and
would rather be Judge Steele,
dead, carrying with me to my
grave the affections of a great
people which the uprightness and
purity of Judge Steele's judicial
life won for him, than be Chief
Justice for a lifetime filling a
polluted chair" 1t looks as
though candidate of that kind
could be elected with safety.

THE REPUBLICAN STATE
AND COUNTY TICKET
Is Made Up OF AS Fine A Set Of Men
AS Ever Solicited The Votes
OF Audubon County People.

There was time when the news
papers were in the habit of running the
full ticket every week from the time it
was nominated until the time of the
election But that custom has passed
away partly because it is not necessary
and partly for the reason that news
papers are filled with more profitable
stuff. Elsewhere in this issue, however
may be found the entire list of Repub-
lican candidates for state, district and
county offices; and we take pleasure in
saying that no better bunch of men as a
whole ever asked for republican votes.
The indictment of Governor Carroll
for libel caused something of cloud to
overhang the head ofthe ticket; but his
acquittal last week by twelve men
made up from all the parties, disperses
that cloud and he stands forth as the
splendid man and strong political
leader he has been for many years
Then taking all the candidates on the
State ticket, the Congressional and
Judicial and they are gentlemen who
have already shown their ability and
honesty by doing good service in public
life. The legislative ticket is composed
of A. NJ. McColl of Dallas for State
Senator and Ole H. Jacobsen of Kim
ballton for State Representative and
they are candidates whose ability and
loyalty to the principles of the party
should secure for them the full party
vote.
No better County ticket could have
been chosen. Some of them are candi-
dates for a second term, having faith
fully performed their official duties
during their first term and nominated for
second term without opposition. Others
are seeking a first term for which they
were duly nominated at the Republican
primary election. Whatever charge
or accusation may be made against any
one of them that of being plutocrats viii
not hold good. Most of them are
poor men. But it stills obtains that "A
good name is rather to be chosen thar
great riches" even in running for office
These candidates for county Office should
: should receive the vote of every Repub
lican in the County.
