ing election is practically its last
struggle in Audrain county.
Its consistence can be no better il
lustrated than its attempt to defeat
Judge Alex Carter, Democratic NOM
inee for presiding Judge of the Au-
drain County Court. The liquor ele-
ment in his party is appealing to the
voters of the Republican Party for
aid in his defeat. Party lines are
gone, as usual, the liquor element
seeks to prostitute the voter to gain
its end. Every fair-minded citizen
Of this county who stands for prog
ress should vote for Judge Carter,
not only because he advocates open
ly every good influence OF wnlch we
are proud, but to show the political
bosses that fright is might and the
day of liquor dominance in politics in
good old Audrain has gene.
1t is to our credit that man who
stands for home, church, schools, Ii
braries, hospital and other institu'
tions that build for the betterment Of
society, heads the County Court.

COUNTY GETS BUT
TWO THOUSAND

Mesa county is TO receive but s2,-
600 for its road fund, according to
the last apportionment of the State
Highway Commission and the county
commissioners are exceedingly wrotn
thereat. Chairman Snyder wrote a
letter yesterday asking why no ap-
preparation had been made, and this
morning the board refused to approp-
riate thirty dollars for circulating
the half mill tax bill, and will not
support the bill.
Practically every county in the
state was represented in Denver last
week to demand slice in the state
fund, but the Mesa commissioners
could not go because of the recent de-
cision of Judge Cayender prohibiting
the use of county money for trips out
side the county.
Altogether $4,000 were approp-
rated and Mesa does not even get its
proportionate share although the
sixth largest county in the state.
