candld.s. for Commissioner of Property

Candidate for Commissioner Of Property.
Through the earnest solicitation OF his
many friends, Mr.. Charles L. Kirk has
agreed to become a candidate for the
important office of Commissioner of
Property. Mr.. Kirk is a native of
Colorado, and during his thirty-fve or
more years he has given of his time and
energy in carrying to a success every
venture that was his undertaking.
While in the Cripple Creek district in
1894, his ambitious desire to see the
great knights of Labor strike carried to
a successful termination. wrought upon
him the painful humiliation Of being de-
ported from the city. He was for JUS
tice. though, and upon arriving in Denver
from the corporation-controlled Cripple
Creek district, he kept on giving of his
efforts to bring to the strikers their just
demands.
Mr.. Kinks early training In the busi-
ness world, started in a laundry ofice,
and his efforts have been fruitful of
gratifying results to himself and his
many well-wishers. He is the pro
prietor of the Colorado Laundry, and in
the operation OF same, employment is
given to $50 people. He holds his EN-.
ployes in the highest regard and has
never experienced labor troubles since
his inception in business. And being a
staunch believer in the organization OF
working people. he lent his efforts upon
two separate occasions in an attempt to
have his employees band themselves into
an organization chartered by the Laun-
dry Workers International Union. Each
of these attempts were fruitful Of getting
the organization started, and Mr.. Kirk
feels that II the workers themselves had
taken as much interest in their union
after II was sfarted as hesdfd in its or
ganization. it would be flourishing today.
In soliciting the votes OF the citizens
of Denver. Mr. Kirk wishes to state that
he has never held a political ONCE in
Denver. and will. II elected. be free from
any political influence His slogan is
to serve the people. first, last and all the
time.

this amendment provides for more sci
entific and efficient health board, and
Whereas, This amendment is designat-
ed on the ballot, For better Health

Resolved, That We depreciate this
wording as being misleading. as all citi-
zens wish to vote for that which makes
for a better condition, and, were the
facts known to the voters. there are
many who would not consider the pro-
posed changes for the better, but to the
contrary: and be it further
Resolved. That we oppose the provi-
sion of this amendment which seeks to
place the Municipal Health Board in
charge of the State University medical
school. condition which would central
ize all authority in matters of public
health in one institution, thereby lessen
ing the restriction upon the license of
teacher and student in the public clinic,
and removing another safeguard for the
protection of the unfortunate sick who
are compelled to seek relief at the pub
lie institutions. And be 1t further
Resolved. That we condemn the sug-
gestion that 1t is necessary to 90 out
side the City and County of Denver and
the State of Colorado in order to find a
health officer who is sufficiently "scien-
tific and efficient" to head the Health
Department of this city. We see in this
suggestion a plan to bring our State un.
der the control of the federal medical
monopoly which is seeking to extend
its power from a central seat at Wash
ington to embrace allthe states of the
Union. and we believe such outside con-
troll of local health and sanitary affairs
to be a menance to the welfare of the
people. We repudiate the suggestion
that the great municipality of Denver
is not better able to care for its own
health affairs than any hired outside in
terest, and We denounce this proposed
change as being inspired by greed and
political ambition. And be 1t further
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
tions be presented the public press of
