ALFRED c. KLINE
Candidate for Treasurer

Mr.. Kline came to the Valley in
March, 1904, to reside permanent
ly. He settled on hay farm east
of Monte Vista, and taught school
for five years, not neglecting the
Improvement of his ranch.
During this time he also worked
up an enviable patronage as auc-
tioneer and through his success in
this line has become widely known
overtime Valley. He enjoys the
confidence of both buyer and seller
and probably has larger speaking
acquaintance than any other man
in the county.
In April, 1909, after a strenuous
auction campaign conducted from
the ranch, Mr.. Kline purchased
his present home in Monte Vista,
moving here few months later.
He has served as secretary OF the
school board in Monte Vista since
May, 1911, filling that position
with credit. AS treasurer of Rlo
Grande county, Mr.. Kline would
render most satisfactory account
ing of the public funds.

In the fall of 1894 he came to
Rio Grande county to accept the
SUPPLEMENTARY of the Monte
Vista schools which position he
held for three years. For his work
in these schools and the teachers
institutes of this district he was
honored with life Teachers Ger
titicate by the State Board of Ed
ucation. He gave up his work
here to return to the State Uniyer-
atty and later to Columbia Univer-
sity, New York City, for post grad
uate study.
For his original research along
educational lines he was granted a
double scholarship in Columbia
University and u fellowship in
Clark University. This work also
brought him the reward of being
enrolled among Americas Men OF
Science" an honor which has come
to comparatively few men in the
country.
He returned to Colorado in 1901
but i'll health made it necessary for
him to give up active school room
work and adopt an outdoor life.
In 1904 he was elected County
Superintendent of Schools and
upon entering the duties of that
office was appointed by the Gov
ernor of Colorado a member of the
State Board of Examiners for the
Normal school. Since 1905 he has
not been actively engaged in school
work, but has always maintained O
lively interest in educational mat

that our schools should be brought
more closely in touch with the
home life and activities of our peo
ple; that we must get away from

 When President Mckinley was shot the subject of better laws for the pro- lection of the President was taken up by Congress.

To show it's utter freedom from bosses, it's repudiation of the very worst elements in American democra- 2y, the Democratic party has suffered him to control a candidate for vice president and to the National Commit teeman from Indiana.
 If you do not know who Taggart is, what position he occupies in Indiana,
 is tribute to your decency. He is primarily the keeper of a Casino, that being pretty name for gambling re- fOrt, at French Lick Springs, Ind, and secondarily head of the state machine

And he ,hows admirable team work in making each of these branches of his activities lelp the other. The funds by which e maintains the Democratic machine Ire raised in the old, familiar method. They are gathered, in the beginning, n the dregs of society, from which
 hey are passed up to him, receiving ncrements on the way from the near respectable gentlemen who have an in terest in seeing the laws overlooked.
 Governor Thomas R. Marshall, of h. iiana, Democratic nominee for vice resident, figured in the beginning as n opponent of Taggart. His OppOsi-

Woman suffrage has meant much to many households, especially where there are children. Husbands and ives now discuss political questions before their children. They absorb this knowledge and it creates an early interest in government and politics. It is not unusual to find the most divergent opinions held by husband and wife. One mother of three sons told me that her husband and two sons voted one way and she and the younger one another. All was done after thoroughly good natured discus sion and with entire mutual respect.
 Women high school teachers say the change in the attitude of boys to them has been great.
 Girls are taking a greater interest in their "civics" and are now debating political questions with the boys just as if it had always been the custom.

 When one considers that democracy itself is still more or less an eX- pertinent and that in the history of government and the development of society, democracy is in it's infancy, it is premature to expect any remark able results from an experiment in the extension of suffrage that only GOV CTS period of ten months.

 No Homes Disrupted
 The anti-suffragists prophesied all manner of evil to the home. Inhar- mony was to be the general rule. Forz tunately this has not been realized.
