OUR COUNTY CANDIDATES

When it comes to choosing local
zen has been in the habit of looking
more to the individual candidate, his
standing in the community and abii-
ity to fill the Office sought, than to
the ticket on which the candidate
runs. AS a general thing this is n
very good rule to fOIlow-with eX
ceptiOns, of course.
One Of these exceptions is now at
hand, when the Democratic party Of
Rio Blanco county presents for the
consideration of voters one of the
strongest and best tickets ever put
up since the county was organized.
The Democratic voters passed on
this ticket at the primary election;
every body who wished to run for Of
flee had chance for II trial "heat,"
and from all over the county comes
words of satisfaction with the ticket
chosen at the primary.
Some of the candidates have been
before the people before, and
others are beginners in the role of
candidates; all are worthy of the full
lest endorsement at the hands of the
voters.
A brief reference to each candidate
on the Democratic county ticket will
not be out of place at the present
time.
COUNTY JUDGE
Uncle" Tom Sheryin has filed
this office faithfully and well during
the past eight years; and, of course.
will be called on November 9Th to
serve for another term.
CLERK AND RECORDER
When Claude Wilson ran for clerk
and recorder before some Democrats
said, Hes holding good job. and
he's too young; let's vote for the
other fellow" And they did. Both
causes of complaint are now remov-
ed. Owing TO temporary breakdown
Claude resigned his position at Old
lands last spring and has been i'm
proving his dry farm on Flag creek
since then. He's now nearing thirty
years of age. There isn't IA man in
Rio Blanco county better qualified to
fill the office of clerk and recorder
than C,uad. Wilson Nnf ced
SHERIFF.
This is an office requiring as its
occupant man of courage, good
indignant and ability. All these
attributes Robert q. Lyon possesses
in mark ed degree. "Rob" LYON WAS
under sheriff OF Grand county when
the Moffat Road was building
through TINT section and handled
the unrulv mob and .bad mem that
,ccompani.d the construction crews
with consu,nate skill and minimum
cost to the taxpayers. MFR. LYON has

the ninth consecutive term. Need
less to say j. ID. will be elected to
succeed himself on November 5rh,
and rs many successive terms as he
wishes. When we get to building
good roads we will need Dan Moog.

This is another office with nothing
in it-financiaily speaking: but it is
important, nevertheless, and the
all it when they choose w. A..

test in the primary between two of
our very best citizens-W. 5. Mont
gomery and otto Metzger, the latter
won ont and was therefore made TIL.
Democratic nominee for commits
sioner for the Meeker district. Mr.
Metzger is worthy of the support of
taxpayers, regardless of party lines,
on election day.
Otto Metzger is IA pioneer IN the
White River valley, coming here
with his family over twenty-seven
years ago. Like most of the early
settlers. Mr.. Metzger didn't bring
much worldly goods in with him.
but he brought determination to
make home for himself and family,
and by bard work and strict atten-
ton to business now owns one of the
finest humes and ranch estates in Rio
Blanco county. Otto Metzger has
made good. AS II servant of the peo-
Pile he will make good in the respon-
sibie Office of county commissioner.

eight years ago. Mr.. kildmH needs
no introduction to the old timers, but
for the benefit of new settlers Will
say that he is one of the largest tax
payers in the county, being one OF
the cattle company of Baer Brothers.
Tom Kilduff served as county com
missioner some years ago: he made
good to the end that the Republicans
put nobody up against him in this
campaign. This, in itself, is com
mendation enough for Kilduir.
