RAINIER LEADING CANDIDATE
FOR SECRETARY OF STAT

Our own John E. Ramer is making
promises to land him easily in possess
ion of that office.
And Ramer is the boy for the place,
too-he's Johnny on the spot
1t most not be concluded because he
is a Delta county orchardist that he
is not qualified for such an impor-
tant position. AS matter of fact he
is especially qualified. by both educa-
flee in which he served two or three
terms as chief clerk virtually having
the management in detail of all its
business and affairs
Two years ago John E. Ramer ran
for this same office. and. against all
handicaps then existing. missed cleo
tion by just few votes. This year
things are different. His race is
against Pearce for reelection. and the
administration of the secretary's office
by Pearce has not been at all salts
that's putting it mild)
On the other hand Ramer has been
received in the present campaign by
the best feeling and most pronounced
enthusiasm of any candidate on the
state ticket. All classes are for him
and even a Democratic paper like the
Denver Post. has gone out of its way
to say complimentary things of him.
John E. Ramer is all right. He
should and will be the successful
choice
