MORRISON TO
CONTINUE
FIGHT
viii Petition the County Board
to Have the Funds Turned
Back Into Treasury.
TO SUE SULLIVAN AND CLERK

That his fight on Judge Walter S
Sullivan Will not be ended until that
official renders to the people full
accounting of his acts in the conduct
of the office of county judge, was the
vehement declaration today of Loren
l.. Morrison, who was defeated Tues
day for the republican nomination
for that office.
81 did not expect to get the Office"
he declared today, but | did. and
do, expect to educate the people of
Mesa county up to point where
they will demand square dealing in
public places"
Mr.. Morrison, In outlining his plan
of campaign, declared that he would
present TO the county commissioners
a petition demanding that they se-
cure an accounting of the "stenogra-
pher" appropriation in the Judges Of
fee. The board passed resolution
some time ago giving Judge Sullivan
$1,000 a year for a 'stenographer
and reporter" at the request of Mr.
Sullivan. Theo W. Primrose was
named by the Judge for this Office,
but, according to Mr. Morrison. he
has never and can not stenograph-
ically report case or transcribe evil
dence for record.
Mr.. Morrison says he is going to
demand that the commissioners call
on Mr.. Primrose for the list and
times OF cases wherein he has acted
as court reporter and demand that he
return the monies paid him for his
reporting" where he did not act
ually do the work. Mr.. Morrison says
he is going to demand that the coun-
ty get back this money from Judge
Sullivan and Clerk Primrose. But he
Will not stop there, he said.
There are other charges which
will prefer against these two gentle
men in suits which ] intend to start
in the district court" heatedly as
serted Mr.. Morrison, land when
get through with this case Mr.. Sulli-
van can have all the vindication he
wants. But he must get 1t before a
trial court and not from a people who
are not familiar with his official
acts"
Mr.. Morrison denied that he con-
templated taking this action for po-
litical effect. On the contrary, be
declared that he didn't need the
fudgeship and that his candidacy be-
fore the primaries was only a
a means to educate the people to the
proper conduct of that office.
The petition will probably be pre-
sented to the county commissioners
at their next meeting.

woke up over in Kansas after his

Dewey Will Come Back to get Revenge

That Perrin Dewey is coming back

Dewey had been killed in Pueblo, is

better known as a city detective. To
be sure, the city was not altogether
satisfied with his detecting. but none
the less he appeared in court on more
than one occasion.
Dewey. however. is alleged to have
agreed with some of the bootleggers
to swear an alibi for them in court
when he was supposed to secure their
conviction. But Dewey took time

BLANCHARD

OF CLUB
Talks Of Work With Government
Reclamation Service; Big
Audience Hears Him.
BOOSTS The HIGH LINE HERE

With 40 or more business men
seated about the well-laden tables
at the ST. Regis today noon. the
postponed luncheon OF the Fifty
Thousand club was held with c. j.
Blanchard. the publicity chief of the
reclamation service, as the guest of
honor.
w. S. Wallace presided as toast
master, and introduced j. II. Schiess-
wohl as the first speaker. Mr.. Schiess-
wohl opened his brief talk in an
Interesting manner. He dwelt par
ticularly on the value OF good roads
10 q community. He cited the expe-
rlence OF Estes Park and neighbor-
Ing cities, which found that each
touring car that spent a day in a
town expended at least $40 and us
ually great deal more. 1T pays to
have good roads" he declared.
"Of all my automobiling," deolar-
ed Mr.. Schiesswohl. confirming his
interview published in The Sentinel
some time ago, 81 found the worst
roads In Mesa and Garfield counties
and had my first blowout on this
side OF the range
II believe" he continued, "that q
good road to Grand Junction from the
eastern part Of Colorado will bring
500 tourist cars from other states
next summer and triple that number
the year following"
c. J. Blanchard was introduced as
the representative of the biggest ad-
vertising institution in the world
the United States reclamation service.
Responding, the publicist declared
that he had always had lots of friends
In Grand Junction, and made more
at every visit. He spoke very inter
estingly Of his work at U. S. R. S.
headquarters in Washington, and of
his trips over the various western
projects. He said that there were al
ways Is families for every farm un-
der the reclamation projects when
completed. Three thousand, he de-
clared. were on the waiting list for
the high line country. He favored
the extension of the reclamation SER
vice and further control over the
class of settlers by the government
than now exercised.
Mr.. Blanchard's most interesting
statements, however, were in connec-
ton with the actual returns to this
section when the project is finished.
He said that the completion of the
irrigation works meant 800 more
families here, which was equal to Z :
500 more farmers and probably an
equal number in the city. This, he
assured his hearers, means $4,000
600 a year more money invested in
the valley and an annual income on
the land of an equal amount.
Mr.. Blanchard thought that the
valley was not loser because of the
long delay in construction, but
would profit by the experience of 9TH
er projects.
Mr.. Blanchard was given hearty
vote of thanks for his address.
