DR.. milford is another one of
those democratic candidates who
never has been an office holder and
who has been paying taxes and aid
ing to build up Weld county for the
last 80 or more years.
Some careless wag once stated
that the Doctor had probably been
the means of bringing more people
into this world and, incidentally.
aiding them to get out of this mum
dane sphere than any one in Weld
county.
Anyway. DR.. Mulford will make
splendid county treasurer. He
doesn't need the office for a living.
He wants to serve the people as
collector and disburser of their
taxes. He will personally give his
attention to the conduct of this

office. The county judge has sole
and exclusive jurisdiction of all the
property and estates of deceased
persons He appoints all guardians
of minors and conservants of insane
persons and has charge of their es-
tates. The county judge is sole
Judge of the juvenile court, that
deals with youthful offenders of the
law and in addition to these the
county Judge has jurisdiction in
misdemeanor and in all civil actions
extensive with the district court
up to $4,000.
For this important office the
democratic party presents Herbert
NJ. Baker, that splendid, brilliant
lawyer of Greeley known to almost
everyone in Weld county. He was
educated in the Greeley schools and
is a graduate of the law department
of the Denver University. For years
Herbert, as he is known, was
deputy clerk of the district court
and in that capacity he became es-
pecially familiar with all court
trials and procedure. For several
years he has actively practiced la"
as a member of that we'll known

1t isn't the vote we dread
But the mannish air and parted hair
And out-of-my-way.there tread.
1t isn't the vote We grudge, my dears
But womanhood undefled,
Maidenly grace and the gentle face
The wife and homeland the child
1t isn't that you're not fit, my dears,
1t isn't a point Of WORTH
But the driven snow is white, you
know,
Till smirched in its fall to earth.
We love you just as you are, my dears
With modesty's sweetness wiled;
'Tis the woman we want, not vote t.
tlaunt-
Just the wife and homeland tn
child.
II isn't that you're not wise, my dears
1t isn't at brains we balk;
But the homing dove is the bird VT
love,
Not the fierce and soaring hawk,
Tis the God,giyen woman we want m,
dear,
With some innocence undehled
Not the hapless fate of an Amazol
mate
But q wife and homeland the child
So we've leaving it all to you m!
dears,
We're leaving it all to you;
If your hand unlocks the ballot box
Will it rock the cradle too?
If the vote you gain, will the hear
remain
Unsullied and undefiled?
Then vote if you will-only leave II
still,
The wife and homeland the child
