roth. His administration of the high
office he holds has more than justi-
fled the confidence the people placed
in him when he was elected. We be-
lieye the PEOPLE of the state desire
to retain his services for another
term, and We feel that our party can
do no greater honor to itself than to
place him again at the head of our
state ticket. We therefore, intsruct
the delegates selected by this conven-
tion to 90 10 the state convention to
vote for John F. Shafroth for gov
ernor on each ballot that may be
taken so long as he shall allow his
name to be before the convention.
We believe that those officials
whose terms expire this year and who
have been conspicuous in the service
they have rendered are entitled to an
expression of the sentiments of this
convention. even though there may
be no opposition to their renomina-
tion and we, therefore, instruct our
delegates to the state convention to
vote for Honorable Robert w. Steele
for judge of the supreme court, and
for Honorable Edward T. Taylor for
congressman at large, and we also
instruct our delegates to the congress
sional convention of the Second con-
gressional district to vote for Hon
orable John A. Martin for congress
man from this District.
We commend the action taken by
our representative, Honorable Will
liam Weiser in both the regular and
special sessions of the legislature.
He has been consistently true to the
promises he made before election, and
his ability has made him one of the
leaders Of the House of Representa-
tives.
We congratulate the general as
sembly for their action in submitting
TO the people of Colorado a consti-
tutional amendment providing for the
Initiative and Referendum in Colo
RADIO and we urge the special session
of the assembly to pass all other
measures promised in the state plat
form of 1908. Should they fail to
pass any of these measures we pied ge
our representative and senator If
elected in November to strive to enact
Legislation at the next general as
sembly which will carry out each of
those promises to the end that the
government of this state may be re-
stored to the people.
We heartily commend and endorse
the county officers who were elected
by the people from our ticket two
years ago, and we promise that those
Officers who are elected from our
ticket this fall will carry out their
trusts as faithfully as have those
elected in the past If given control
of the board of county missioners,
we promise that the affairs of the
county will be transacted with the
trf,
that the road fund will be expended
in a systematic and economical man
ner so that every section of the coun-
ty may receive its proper share, taxi
ing into consideration the character
of the roads, and so that every dollar
of the taxpayers money shall produce
full value in road improvement.
These resolutions, together with
our national and state platforms, we
believe express the principles of true
democracy and the pledges thereih
contained are binding obligations
upon all candidates who are elected
-;pon eur ticket, We therefore, SOL
emnly pledge our party's honor that
any candidates who may be nominat-
ed in this convention. will If elected
in November, endeavor to the utmost
of their ability to carry out these
pledges and on the record of our of
ficers we base our appeal to the vot-
ers of Mesa county.
We further emphatically endorse
and recommend the submission of
constitutional amendment similar to
the Oregon Measure for the recall of
all elective officers, whether state,
district or county.
