Sizing EN- Up

Next Tuesday will be held the flrst
primary election. Under 1t tho vQt-
ers can make their own choice for
national, state and county officials.
Turn out and vote for candidates Of
your own selection or candidates on
ballot. Show that the present polfti-
cal awakening interests you.
On the Democratic side THE HEH-
AID favors the following national
and state candidates-you can look
the ballot over and make your own
selections:
For U. s. Senator dong term) =
Alva Adams, and for the short term,
C. 8. Thomas. No flaws can be pick
ed in the records of either man. Both
are men Of mark abilities and would
be credit to Colorado In the United
States senate. Both are progressive
and lifelong Democrats.
For Congressmen-at- Large : We
favor Edward T. Taylor of Garfield
county, and William L. Clayton Of
Weld comfy. The latter 10 not
known In this part of Colorado. but
he served two successive terms ~
. Democrat In the state senate from
the strongest Republican district In
the state. And AZ for Ed Taylor-if
the Democratic voters of Colorado
should give him 10000 majority by
way Of endorsement, next Tuesday,
they wouldn't give him any more
than he is entitled to. Ed TaylOr's
work on the three-year homestead
law and twenty-five other federal
measures for the benefit of Colorado
ought to insure his reelection to con-
gress.
Those of our readers who read the
sketch Of H. H. Seldomridge in last
weeks HERALD can readily see that
In Mr.. Seldomridge we are recon-
mending mighty good man for con-
gressman from this, the second dis
trict.
The supreme bench needs an able
jurist and upright man. John R.
Dixon Of Denver county meets these
requirements in every way.
When 1t comes to governor, Demo-
Gratis have two splendid men from
which to make q choice-Joe Maupin
of Fremont equity, and Elias M.
Ammons Of Grand. On account Of
his years Of fighting Pinchotlsm, Mr..
Ammons il entitled to the support Of
the ranch and cattlemen OF north
western Colorado. ,... - !.
F. For ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, no better
selection could be made than Colonel
B. F. Montgomery.
THE HERALD has frequently COM
mended the record of James b.
Pearce, as secretary of state. On
Tuesday, vote to retain Mr.. Pearce
In the office he has filled SO well and
to the entire satisfaction of the tax
payers of the state.
For auditor of state, be sure and
vote for Charley Leckenby of our
neighboring town of Steamboat
Springs. He is capable and worthy
of the strongest possible endorse
ment.
For representative, Bob Norvell of
Hayden, Routt county pioneer, solid
business man, and always a Demo-
crat, is our choice.
Barney Napier has no opposition
for state senator, but vote for him
just the same.
Show your good will for J. G. Cen
try by casting your vote for him for
district attorney.
Judge Shumate has no opposi tion.
When it comes to county officers,
we have no suggestions to make.
For clerk and recorder, Claude
Wilson has no opposition; It's a Will
son year.
For county judge, Uncle Tom Sher-
vim; for sheriff, Bob Lyon; for super
intendent of schools, Mrs. Lyttle;
and for surveyor, Dan Moog, have
no opposition, but few votes by
way Of encouragement, will brace
them for the tussle with the ''enemy"
later on.
For county treasurer, Democratic
voters will select F. N. JoHantgen or
c. F. Brown.
The choice for assessor Is between
r. Hartke and Fletcher Hay.
For commissioner in the Meeker
district, the Democrats have two
good men in Otto Metzger and w. S
Montgomery, to select from.
Tom Kilduh has no opposition in
Buford district.
AS to the Republicans, we presume
the Review has fully advised them
what to do next Tuesday, but THE
HERALD will suppliment that by ad-
vising them to stay at home and at
fand to the having: this In a Demo.
