The Democratic voters of Colorado
showed good judgement In picking
from the four candidates running In
the primary election, Ed Brake, for
secretary Of state. An experienced
man Of strong convictions and whose
honesty and integrity have never
been questioned. He is just the
right man for this important office.
Enemies he may have, and what
strong man has them not? But these
enemies have been made by his fear
less fight for the rights Of the people,
the masses against the special privil-
legged classes.
We can safely depend upon his
sound judgment In all matters at
fecting the taxpayers Of this state In
his handling of the important office
Of secretary of state. We want no
experiments In this Office and the
Democrats made no mistake in pick
Ing Ed Brake rs their candidate.
