Halsted l.. Ritter was assistant city
attorney during 1900 to 1903. His rec
ord for winning suits for the city has
not been equalled since. He became
thoroughly familiar with the city af
fairs and has been a student ever
since of city government and has been
influential in moulding every charter
adopted since 1900. He has been in
the public eye for years as an advo-
cate of clean politics and higher cit
izenship. He has consented to run
for commissioner of safety only after
repeated urging by many people who
are determined to make Denver clean
city by having the laws enforced
equally on everybody. Mr.. Ritter be-
lieves that city government should be
non-partisan and that a commissioner
of safety has no discretion to decide
what laws he will and what he will
serve the people in doing what they
have declared shall be done in ordi-
nances and statutes. If he is elected
on October 10th next he proposes to
have a police and fire department
freed from politics and "chair warm
ers." Every policeman and fireman
shall be trained for and used only in
the public service and shall be always
on the job He will have steady plan
of operation. Not lid on today and off
tomorrow; modern business system
of accounting for every dollar spent;
economy consistent with efficiency.
Mr.. Ritter is fighter for the right
and he can't be fooled or scared away
from his principles.
