the democratic party in the en-

who know Robert NJ. Work know
that his morality is beyond 1ues-

man is at present in Washington, DC.
wnere he went week ago to repres-
ent the city of Denver before the
United States supreme court as special
counsel in the case of the city versus
the Denver Uuion Water Company,
MIR. Waterman is anxious oget back
to Colorado to enter the campaign. He
has not thought of withdrawing as a
candidate. Before going to Washing
he tried in every way possible to Sc
cure delay of the hearing of the case
but was unsuccessful. AS result he
was forced to abandon his private and
party desires to attend to the interests
of his client, the city.
AS soon as the hearing is held before
the court and he makes his argument
Mr.. Waterman will return and finish
the few remaining days of the cam
paign with speeches in every section oe
the state that he can reach. He wired
to Denver yesterday that he expected
the case wonld be heard within the
next two days and that he would be
able to return tc Colorado within a
week. The state republican managers
are eager that he return as soon as pos
sibie, as there is constant popular de-
mand for Mr.. Watermans appearance
Regardless of the fact that the dem
ocrats are using Mr.. Waterman's en-
forced absence from the state against
him, we believe that every voter should
cest his vote for Mr.. Waterman fer
United States senator for the short
term. His distinguished ability as an
orator together with his knowledge of
the needs of Colorado will help to in
sure to Colorado the prosperity which
comes by the protection of our infant
industry.

Where His Bread Is Buttered
Lawyer Gives Excellent Reason
For Supporting VanBradt

The best recson we have heard for
the support of Irving VanBradt, demo-
cratic candidate for District attorney
against Robert NJ. Work, the repub-
lican caEdidat for the same office. was
given by a prominent attorney in this
district, when he said: Il am for
VanBrsat because am in the law
bls n SIS for what money can make
a I'D figure that VanBradt is easier to
beat in lawsuit than Work. +"
Evidently this attorney expects to
have some practice as the counsel for
the defence il the district court in his
district and he also evidently knows
which side of the trezd his butter is
on.
Robert NJ. Work is an attorney of
recognized ability in this district. He
is an indefat tigablc worker, a close stud
ent of every case he tries. and stands
for the rigid enforcement of the laws.
He is absolutely clean in his character
as man and not only deserves. but

On The Sad Results of The Last

Woodrow Wilson the historion. had
occasion in his History of the Ameri-

election of MIR. Cleveland in 1892. Speak
ing of the years of 1893 and 1894, he
wrote:

Clyde c. Dawson for United
States Senator

The selection of two United States
senators is a matter of vital Importance
to the voters of Colorado and Sedg-
wick county. Ha it not been that the
republicans held a majority in the last
United States senate we would have
had reduction of the tariff on i'm
ported sugar that would have meant
the &c ;truction on the sugar beet in
dustry and we cannot afford to take
any chances on having democrats who
have absolutely pledged the reduction
of the tariff if elected to the United
States Senate from Colorado. Mr..
Dawson has grown up in Colorado and
knows the needs of the state and his
devotions to the state ard the republi-
can party makes him an ideal candid
ate and Will make him most valuable
representative in tie senate.

About The District
Judgeship
Burke's Record ,

In former articles under this heading
we have taken up and disposed of every
thing worthy of consideration in the
Brown letters. We have demonstrat-
ed the unrellabilty and untruthfuiness
of these letters; proven from the
court records that the charge the Judge
Burke is partial to corporation is utt-
erly false and without foundation;
|, that the author of these letters pro-
badly knows little about the Judges S
political opinions, and has misrepresent-
ed what he does know; and we now
propose, after brief glance a, the
Judges history prior to his election. to
give to the voters of his district the
'only information on the subject which
is really material in this campaign,
and information which except in ager-
eral way, is difficult for the average
person to obtain the record of what
he has accomplished as Judge. ard
the record upon which he should be re-
elected by an overwhelming majority.

Judge II. P. Burke was born IN the
state of Iowa in 1874; procured his
education by his own efforts: studied
law under one of the best. know law
yers of that state, who was for two
terms its Attorney General; read law
and studied shorthand at The same
time; taught school to pay his expenses s
aed was admitted to the Bar in Iowa
at the age of 2l and in Colorado with
in year thereafter. He has made his
own way since long before he attained
his majority.
He came to Sterling in December.
1899, with cash capital of $3.50.
Within one gear thereafter, his posi-
ton in the community was so well
established that on the recommended
ton of the local organization and many
Leading citizens, he was appointed
xClerk of the District Court.
He served in that capacity two years,
resigned to resume active practice, and
after three years more at the bar he
received the unanimous endorsement of
the Republican conventioa of this
county for District Judge, and the
unanimous nomination from Repub
lican judicial convention, against three
of the best and most widely known men
II the district.
I'm the election that followed he re-
ceived nearly all the votss in his home
town, carried Logan County by almost
500, carried every county and the dis
trict by 400, and carried the county
and.precinct.of his opponent. and with
this sort of record behind him, in
January, 1907, he took office as the
youngest Judge in the State of Colo
rado.
~ This has been the greatest six years
in the history of thes" counties. As
sessed valuation, business activity and
population have more than doubled.
Sterling and Fort Morgan, the two lar
gest towns in the district, have grown
from 1900 to 1000, and the business of
the courts has kept abreast of this
sgrowth.
Although the Judge has handled
during his term of Office more business
than had heretofore passed through
these courts in their history, there is
not a County IN the District where the
Docket is behind, ard there is no DIS
trict in Colorado today where the work
of the Courts is in better condition.

c. F. Parker For Representative

Positively no mistake can be made
by every voter, voting for C.F. Parker
for representative to the state legisla-
ture from this district. Since coming
to Colorado in 1892 Mr.. Parker has al
lied himself with the work of building
up and developing his county and
northeastern Colorado. His work in
promoting and getting into operation
the Jumbo reservoir system has added
many thousand dollars value to Sedg-
wick county.
His work in the legislature has al
ways been for the development of his
district and especially his home county.
He has been a life long republican, but
broad enough in his views to not let
party interests interfere with the in
terests Of development. He being a
man of sterling qualities and ripe
scholarship and knowledge of men and
affairs together with his wide acquain-
tance over the state gives him prest-
lge as member of the legislature and
especially qualities him to represent
his counties in the state assembly. We
can conceive of no man better qualified
morally or mentally to represent north
eastern Colorado than Mr.. Parker and
we believe that democrats, republicans
and progressives will be glad of this
opportunity of returning him to the
state legislature.

SALOONS DOING BUSINESS,
Although lioense Year Expired Nov. i -6osquet's Liosnss Not to Be Re- neWed.

By virtue Of their having previously flied applications for renewals. the liquor dealers in Putnam continued to do business Friday, the beginning of q new license year, for which licenses have not as yet been granted by the county commissioners, An interesting statement made Friday was that the license of Henry Bosqust, who was accidentally killed while hunting Thursday afternoon, would not be re- neWed, although he has regularly filed an application for renewal The claim is based on the fact that Putnam, which has not been a no-license town since previous to the time that the present law limiting licenses to one to each 300 of the population was passed, now has more licenses than it is enti- tied to under that law. Though the county commissioners have made no ruling on the matter, some people who feel that they are right in their con tention say that Bosquet's untimely death means the permanent cutting out of one of the cltys 21 licensed places.

Bells and .st.snIe.

The church spire at Shalf1eet, Isle of Wight, is now being pulled down. There is a curious coUplet relating to this spire which runs: '"The Shalfleet poor and silly people sold their bells to build a steeple." And the local tradition is that about century ago.
 when the building of steeples was the fashion, the parishioners sold the peal of bells which hung in the fine old square Norman tower to the inmates of a French monastery and with the money thus obtained erected a steeple on top of the tower. The erection has been an eyesore to archa aeologists ever since; and much has been written deprecating its existenceIrut the par istioners have been satisfied with their steeple until just recently, when 1t was discovered that it was in a very dangerous state, and it's weight was seriously damaging the old tower beneath It has therefore been deoid- ed to pull down the structure and an urgent appeal Is being made for funds to remove it and to renovate the an | eient tower,-Lendon Standard.
