Republicans Save Only the Offices They
Have Heretofore Held and Ma
jorities Are Not Large
NAPIER WINS BY A SCRATCH

Garfield county's biennial election
which was completed last Tuesday
evening held but few surprises to the
ordinary citizen. Both parties had
and the latter weighed the qualities of
each candidate and made their selec
tion and that IS all there was to it. The
usual amount of campaigning was in
dulged in, but it was reasonably clean
and square on both sides, free from
unmanly accusations, vituperation AMI
mud singing.
In the race for governor the com
bined vote of the republicans and pro
gressivos had majority over Ammons
of 229, indicating clearly that they
could have carried this county against
the democrats had they not listened to
the words of the destroyers from the
| east.
On the county ticket, notwithstani
ing a united effort, the republicans
| were only able to save three offices, the
same ones they have held for the pas
two years, sheriff, treasurer and repre-
y - s-------=-.- y -
For district judge and district attor-
ney A. l. Bearlsley and J. E. Ethel
held the adverse majority down to Il

thought possible, losing the county by
205 and POS respectively.
Notwithstanding the very heavy OF.
position to Senator Napier within his
own party he was able at a great ex-
pense to carry this county by 223. His
majority in Eagle county was about
$50 while he lost Rio Blanco county
| by about 800. lea wing him ma ior ty
n the district of about 100 which $
certainly little CROUCH considering tn ,
| democratic landslide toward other can
didates. Frank f. Sheridan made a
splendid fight and came so near win
ming that the 1.-THE senator from this
district was very uneasy until the Off
cial count of Eagle county assured h M
a small margin.
| For representative Horace Mann
came up to GlenwoO1 by handsome
majority which Barlow whitfield down
as the returns from the Glenwood pre-
cincts came in, Barlow CARRYING three
of the Glenwood and Mann getting the
south precinct by one, the west pre-
cinct going to Barlow by only Is votes.
The result on this office was though.
by some to be in doubt until the final
col-.t was made. but Barlow conceded
his defeat on Tuesday night.
| J. w. Bell, the newest candidate in
the county, made many friends during
the campaign, but Judge Smith has
many friends and it was impossible to
dislodge him at the end of his first
term.
For county clerk and recorder c. -.
Canady made an excellent campaign
and gained many friends, but Charley
Hubbard has made an excellent officer
and his record for honesty and faith
fulness to duty pulled him through by
. nice majority, in the face of the fact
that he has already served two terms
