The Greeley tribune., 1910-09-15
DEMOCRATIC TICKET ONE
OF GREATEST STRENGTH

There can be no doubt as to the
strength of the ticket which the
Democrats placed in the field at the
convention held in this city last Sat
urday.
S. S. Poe of Ault, the nominee
for sheriff, is man fully capable
of handling the job and has pledged
himself to carry out the duties OF
the office, in the event he is elected.
in the most thorough and impartial
manner Mr.. Poe has had expert
ence in dealing with criminals which
is most necessary requisite in one
occupying such an office, for despite
the reforms which have found favor
with both men and women in var
ious parts of the country. the time
is not yet ripe to turn over the hand
ling Of the criminals of the country
to sentimentalists and theorists.
Mrs. Alice Beckwith has had ex-
perience in the office OF the county
clerk and recorder and she would
take Office fully aware of the duties
which would be hers to perform.
Hubert Reynolds, candidate for
county assessor. Is a man who is
known throughout Weld county and
has been a citizen of Greeley for the
past fifteen years. He has proved In
his business life here to be a man
of integrity and ability and one emil
nently worthy of accepting the work
which is incumbent upon the office
OF county assessor.
w. H. Delbridge.. Sr., is too we'll
known to the people of Weld county
to need any introduction here. He
made an excellent run against P. w.
Allen for the office of county treas
urer four years ago and refused to
run last election. As business man
Mr. Delbridge obtained a reputation
in this city after years of service to
the citizens. as one of square prin-
ciple and untiring energy and there
is no doubt but that he would carry
the same qualifications into the Of
fee of county treasurer. in the event
the people of the county see fit to
place him in office.
A B. Copeland of Eaton, the can
didate for the office of school super
intendent, is recognized as one of
the first educators of the state. He
has been honored time and again by
educational societies of the state
with high offices and he has always
filled them in a manner calculated
to inspire confidence.
Probably no two candidates could
be picked more capable of represent
ing the people of Weld county in the
state legislature than R. G. Strong of
Greeley and George j. Smith of Fort
place by sterling characteristics
which will ensure keeping of prom
ises made to the people and the
working for the peoples good in the
state house.
Asa Mcleod is we'll known in
Weld county and while he has never
been in the limelight as politician.
there is no doubt but that, as a cor
oner, he will serve the people and
not the railroads.
Fred Bien, democratic candidate
for commissioner from district No
comes from Sunnyside and is known
to the people of his section of the
county as a man of ability and one
who stands for the square deal.
r. G. Mcdonald, the candidate for
county surveyor is a good man who
understands the duties of his Office
thoroughly and is recognized as one
of the first civil engineers in the
state.
On the whole the democratic ticket
is the strongest undoubtedly. which
has ever been placed in the field in
this county by any political party.
