The Republican party presents
to the voters of Clear Creek county
a list of candidates for county Off
ces for whom no apology is needed
In their respective calling they
have been tried in most cases in
official positions and have proved

should administer the duties per-
tanning thereto in the most care

sesentations should be carried out
when elected. They believe that
the public is entitled to their best
efforts and that the interests OF the

guardel and economically ad-
mlnistered. They believe it a
solemn duty to work in harmony
for the betterment of the county
affairs and the returning OF the
county affairs and the returning
of the greatest possible good for
the salaries they receive. Believ-
ing these they have the honesty,
the deter mination aud Jealous de-
sire to carry out such beliefs and
they will do it to the most eX-
acting degree. Their services
will be loyalty given and they will
place duty above selfish consider
ations. 1t is on such platform
that they ask the suffrages of the
voters OF this county and in re-
turn therefor they are going
to render a just and economical
account Of their stewardship.
