1.-The republicans of Clear Creek
county in convention assembled renew
their pledges of confidence in the prin-
ciples of the republican party, the darty
of Lincoln, Mckinley, Roosevelt and
Taft. We express our unbounded con-
fidence in the administration of nation
al affairs with VIM. H. Taft as the
commanding spirit.
We heartily endorse the platform
adopted by the Republican State Con-
vention at Color ado Springs on Septem-
ber 20, 1910, in state affairs.
We are in full accord with the ''good
roads" movement, believing it to be to
the interest of the people of this state,
not only in the valley but in the mount
aims as well, and we point with pride
to that portion of the Republican state
platform pertaining to the building and
maintaing of good roads, and we here
by pledge our nominees to support any
movement in that direction.
We ask the voters of this county to
compare the Republican administration
of county affairs with the present ad-
ministration which we have had for the
past two years. Examine the records
and compare the amount of money
earned and turned over by the Repub-
lican county officials to the treasurer of
this county with the amount turned
over by the present officials, and if this
is done, we believe the people will be
ready and willing to change the man
agement Of county affairs back to the
party that managed the affairs in a
business-like manner.
We hereby pledge the nominees of
this convention, when elected, to give
the county a faithful and economical
administration.
