Candidate for County Treasurer
II is by no means an unworthy am
bition that a young man like Earl
Wilson should come before the people
OF Delta county as candidate for
county treasurer. Having held down
the chief clerkship in that office for
four hard working years in the most
satisfactory manner. should not and
does not disqualify him Tor such can
didacy: rather, it has served to better
equip him for the position. No one
will question that the county treasur-
er's Office has been in extra good
hands. No one doubts but that 1t
will remain in equally good hands
in case Earl Wilson is elected. and
that is one OF the reasons he was
so unanimously chosen by two polit-
ical parties OF the county as candi-
date for that office. That is also
a reason why he should carry the
county by a leading majority. Don't
make the mistake of accidentally

Delta Boys Make
a Clean Sweep

The Delta High School foot ball
team added two more games to their
string of victories when they defeat
ed the high schools of Hotchkiss and
Gunnison during the past week.
Last Friday the Hotchkiss boys
undertook to win a fast game from
the locals, but were unsuccessful.
They put up good fight and the
game was full of ginger from begin
ming to end. The Delta team was
much heavier than its opponent, but
in speed and fancy plays the boys
were evenly matched. The final
score was 16 TO in favor of the
home boys.
Monday the Gunnison team met the
home team on the gridiron and were
taken into camp with ease by score
of 80 to 0. The Delta boys played
in better form than in any previous
game. Phil Harding made several
fine plays during the game. Other
star players were Parsons. SweitZer
and Little Ted" Widney.
The local boys have several other
games to play during the remainder
of the season. The next will be
played here between the Delta team
and that Of olathe. The last game
between these teams was a walk-away
for Delta. the score being 81 to Z.
on November the locals play in
Montrose and a good game is ex-
pected.
The Grand Junction-Delta game
will be staged on the home gridiron
on Saturday. November II. The
Junction team has not lost a game
so far. and a great game will no
doubt be played.
The Delta boys average 15s pounds
this year and are all coming to the
front. They will be in splendid form
+, for the Grand Junction game. They
have a winning team this year and
there is but little doubt that they will
carry away the Western Slope cham
pionship. The citizens of Delta ought

of the most critical of the county po-
