Cheyenne County Democratic.

At Tuesdays election Chey-
enne county was swept from the
republican to the democratic
column. For more than two
years the people have wanted a
change and now they have it.
After January l. 1913 the
political destiny of our county
will be in new hands. That the
integrity of those candidates that
were made the peoples choice on
last Tuesday is of the highest
order goes without question, and
that their service to the people
will be satisfactory, is assured
by the fact that all of them are
possessed of a native honor the
general public has confidence in.
The vote was the largest ever
polled at any election, and the
selections made shows the good
judgement of the taxpayer in
making out his ballot. We want
to congratulate Cheyenne county
on the manner in which she voted
and think we are perfectly safe
in saying that the candidates
selected will make good. We
didn't get everything we wanted
neither did we want all we

sent him to see if l had a little in
the bottle to send her and l being
of an obliging nature and being
possessed of a good stock of drugs
ranging all the way from sooth-
ing syrup down to strychnine, l
set out a dozen or more bottles SO
he could have his choice, he took
the largest bottle and started for
home six miles distance and
landed there some time after
sun up the next morning cursing
every democrat in the county for
stealing Uncle Joe's potatoes,
but said nothing to his wife about
the whiskey he had lost. About
noon Hooley again made his ap-
pearance at the ranch, when he
finally reached the door he said
"U-uncle J-joe Mae didn't want
wbiskey it was soothing syrup"
Now this was too much, I could

must find some other excitement.
Why not take an easy chair, pen
Gil and paper, and figure on what
you have done the past five years.
You came to Colorado with
nothing. no money, no land, no
home, a very slight idea of con-
ditions here and no health. Now
what? You have IA or IL Sec
ton of the best land on earth,
you understand the soil and sea-
son, you have horses, cows and
implements, abundance of fod-
der, a good home and last but
not least good health and a splen-
did robust healthy family.
Figure just a little with con-
siderable reason and see where
you could have done better. The
decision must be, no other place.
Once more could you not have
done a little better here? Put
out some trees, build a dolby barn
and a DOLBY fence for a yard to
house and protect your stock,
feed the stock a little more and
a little longer, plow the ground
a little deeper and work it ten
times more, in fact build a home
and when your neighbor gets
his little hammer and begins to
knock, tell him to move back
from whence he came and live
off his wife's folks the same as
he did before he came to Gods
Country. The time will come
when the days will be brighter,
the home will be happier, the
land will be higher, and you can
sit in the beautiful sunshine and
smoke your ten cent cigar and
say 1T is we'll done, l am con-
tent"

Ever prosper,
In a country far or near,
Did his knocking,
Or his mocking,
Ever help him there or here.
If the knocker does not prosper,
Why hear his tale of woe?

And his knocking,
And, the knocker himself go.

Ross Ranch Cheyenne County.

Ross Ranch Cheyenne County.
In your issue of October 25th,
Mr.. Hooley Davis is quoted as
saying I told him that "Some
onery democrat" had stolen my
potatoes. Now when I tell a man
anything and he wants to give it
to the public he aught to give it
as it was told to him, lest the
public should think l am as big a
liar as Hooley, for he is the
meanest man and the biggest liar
in Cheyenne county.
told Hooley that he was the
democrat that stole them because
he only took half of them and
that he either had no strings to
tie his sacks or his vehicle was not
potato proof for they leaked out
so that was able to track him.
If he had been a republican he
would have thrown all safe guard
around his venture. The pota-
toes dug from four rows 300 feet
long instead of two rows 100 feet
long as stated by Hooley.
Then just at the time Hooley
was in Cheyenne Wells, or to be
more exact, two new children a
boy and girl made their home
with Hooley which gave him a
very detected appearance, he
came to the ranch early in the
evening and said his wife had
