lyman and Joseph Maupin of Canon
City, and John Tobin of Montrose,
probable candidates for governor, in
yesterdays Denver Post: s.
Joseph Maupin is another patriot
whose long lingering in the political
spot light has given voters a chance
to learn how to spell his name back
wards and up and down. Maupin
urges himself as a candidate for the
reason that since Peabody ruled Ere
mont county has been without recog-
milton.
Toeing the heels of Maupin comes
Thomas lyman, the greatest warden
in captivity, who will toss his straw
cupalo into the ring. lyman will
wear his record for shaving ex-
penses as his lightning catcher.
John Tobin is coming up from
Montrose county with request to
be chosen as a standard bearer. Tob-
in will base his right to seek office on
his long continued service in the
state senate and defy any legisla tor
to show reason why he should not
move downstairs.
