The CANDIDATES.

ON November 4, the of Grand Junction will
~ be called upon to fill for period of four years,
thesofces of commissioner of public affairs (mayor
and commissioner OF water and sewers
OF the five commissioners who form the governing
power of the municipality, these two officials are in
many ways the most important.
A number of candidates in the field for these
two offices.
The Sentinel has nothing personal against single
one Of these candidates.
Every one of them has perfect right to aspire to
office
The Sentinel has gone the list carefully, max
ing conscientious effort to ascertain which OF these
ddates would prove the best officials.
We have made up our mind that there are two men
among these candidates who ARE better qualified to fill
these offices than the other aspiring citizens.
The eleventh hour announcement of a. gentleman
who contended for weeks that he in the but
whom believe has always been at least receptive
didate, has not changed our opinion in this matter
The Sentinel believes that the best interests of the
city of Grand Junction will be served by the election
November 4 of
CHARLES E. CHERRINGTON AS COMNIS-
SIONER OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS (MAYOR), and of
B; w. XEDDER AS COMMISSIONER OF
WATER AND SEWERS.
The Daily Sentinel will give these two men its con-
scentious and enthusiastic support and all honorable
in province to bring about their election.
Charles +. Cherrington has been citizen of Grand
Junction for good many years. His private life is above
criticism. His integrity has never been questioned He
of excellent business qualifications and pleasing
personality He has been of the most active and
loyal of the Grand Junction boosters He has been
identified with practically every public movement since
he became citizen of Grand Junction. He of
progressive IDEAS active, forceful and vigorous In many
othey ways he is particularly qualified for the office.
In our opinion Charles E. Cherrington would make
splendid chief executive for Grand Junction. We be-
cve that he would give wise, conscientious and credit
able administration and believe that he is better fitted
for the office than any other of the several candidates.
and say this without any personal dsparagement of
any of the other worthy citizens who aspiring the
office of Commissioner of Public Affairs Al ~
b. w Vedder is the present Commissioner of
Water and Sewers
Grand Junction would be gaining nothing by remov-
ing him from that office Under his administration and
direction Grand Junction has today the best managed
the most economically administered the satisfac
tory water system and plant owned and operated by
city this size in western America.
There is need for to discuss Vedder's record
Vedder's experience, Vedder's work. They well
known and his record his experience and his work all
stand forth convincing proofs of the contention that he
reelected the office of Commissioner Of Water and
Sewers at the coming election.
For the past four years B. w. Vedder has been one
of the strongest and abest of the board of city
soners Il him the four years held the biggest task that
tell to OF the commissioners that of building Grand
Iunctons great and costly mountain water system and
how well and conscentously did he perform that big
task all of our citizens know.
There should be doubt about Vedder's re-elec
ton. We hope to see him win by handsome majority
vote.
The Sentinel shall earnestly and emphatcally urge
the of the city choose from among the quite
numerous candidates at the November election
CHARLES E. CHERRINGTON FOR COM
MISSIONER OF PUBLIC AFFAIRS; and
b. w. VEDDER FOR COMMISSIONER OF
WATER AND SEWERS.
