VINCENT GOT SCARED

Denver, Sept. 3.-Owing to the fact
that Merle ID. Vincent dilly-dallied and

to his original subject. the debate be-
cent on the question as to whether
progressive republicans should partici-
pate in the republican primaries has
been called off. At the time Mr.. Vim
cent sent his challenge to Mr.. Stevens
for a debate he named the sub ject
Shall Progressives Participate in Re-
publican Primaries?' Mr.. Stevens ac-
cepted the challenge and told him to
name place and time. Then followed
men in which Mr.. Stevens insisted thas
Mr.. Vincent confine himself to tho
original subject and in which Mr.. Vim
cent insisted on changing the meaning
of his original subject to include al
most everything upon which he desired
to speak. At last Mr.. Stevens sent
him final telegram demanding that
the debate be confined to the subject
originally named to which Mr.. Vincent
Mr.. Vincent was thus able to get los
of publicity out of the entire matter
without coming to showdown on the
question at issue.

GOOD KICKS ON
BRENNAN REGIME

Dear Editor of the Glenwood Post:-
Valley, to the voters of Garfield coun-
ty.
1t is now your chance to act, and do
something for our country, for the Jim
Brennan McGuirk political combination
have oiled their machinery and have
their workers all over the county.
Brennan himself is politically dead,
but he has living head in the form
of r. w. McGuirk, his right hand man,
that has been drawing our county
funds of dollars together with his
brothers, Frank and Jim; and many Of
us down here wonder why the people
have been so patioent. Hundreds Of
dollars have passed from the count"
treasury into the Brennan McGuirk
pocketbook, and what have we been
given for our money? SHAM BUIl4f
BRIDGES and ROADS in most part Il
disgrace to any country. | once enter
ed complaint to Mr.. Brennan when
he had X. w. McGuirk for road over
seer. | told him that McGuirk, accord
ing to my judgment, was only wasting
the county's money and many ranchers
agreed with me. Yet Mr.. Brennan
turned deaf ear; and for years the
McGurks have had very free hand,
hn,
Road Overseers, Bridge Inspector and
Water Commissioner. The McGuirks
have had the heart and ear of jim
Brennan and Garfield county has paid
the bills. "Dick,' or R. W., McGuirk
made very poor road overseer-tnis
opinion is held by many of us-ani
has made very poor water commits
sioner This is the verdict of many
of us, and if R. w. McGuirk gets the
nomination for county assessor you will
see after election day how many of US
here in his home precinct think him Il
good man for a place of public trust.
| hope the new method of selecting our
pupI' phlNldis Will SlIdlS SHteH ot!l
some of the Crooks that have bee
made in our politics. Brennan and the
McGuirks do not represent the people
at Grand Valley and | believe they
will know that they stand no show Of
being elected to Office in this end Of
the county Voters, WAKE UP. This
is not a letter from a politician nor a
leader in politics. From one that has
only best wishes for all. Voters. ]
don t ask you to take my word without
investigating the record of James
Brennan as county commissioner. Go
to the county treasurer office and see
how Mr.. Brennan has shifted the taxes
of the New Castle coal lands from {,
rich company onto the farmers. OF
course Mr.. Brennan had others to help
him. | say see what Brennan has done
since George Bell was assessor, and
then you can guess with more accuracy
the principle that R. w. McGuirk will
work on if elected assessor.
Yours

result may be one thing is certain and
that is that the present democratic
administration is responsible for the
mix-up. -Four years ago that party
pledged the initiative and referendum.
After an entire session of the legisla
ture it was not submitted and Cover
nor Shafroth called ali extra session.
However, he did not call it in time for
the provisions of the state constitution
to be followed. Had the governor
called it in time for the amend
ment to be published in the ses-
sion laws, the present mix-up would not
have occurred. 1t must be remembered
also that Governor Shafroth used his
extra session to force his second nomi.
nation for the governorship.
Governor Shafroth insisted on follow
ing the letter of the law which gave
