state of Colorado, in said district, re-
spectfully represents that on the 18th

has duly surrendered all his property
and rights Of property and has fully

said acts and Of the orders Of the court
touching his bankruptcy; that he has
not done, or suffered or procured to be

His Election Seems Certain.

W. d. Reilly for state senator of this
district is gaining ground every day and
his victory over the old Republican war
horse is an assured thing. The only
question is the majority Bill is going to
get. The country over gang rule meth
ods are being thrown into the rubbish
pile, and it will be happy day for the
Republican party when the "Matt Quay
OF Eastern Colorado" is dethroned. His
political days are numbered and will
soon be counted on your hands. The
people do not care to fill man with po-
litical pie for over 25 years without some
termission.-Limon Express.
From the above it will be seen that
W. d. Reilly's chances for election to the
state senate from this district are ex-
tremely good. The voters of Elbert
county can be represented in the upper
branch of the next legislature by one OF
her influential and respected business
men il they will only lay aside their party
prejudices and vote for the man instead
of the party. Since the election CT
United States senator has been taken
out of the hands Of the legislature the
incentive to stick to party is not 80
strong, the tendency being to choose
business men rather than politicians for
that place.

To THE VOTERS OF ELBERT COUNTY:
In becoming a candidate for re- election

motives: First, my liking for the work. \
Second, my wish to standardize the

has given an experiences which can be
made useful to the schools Of this county.

elapsed before the contest was settled.
For any or all Of these reasons, your
support in the November election will be
gratefully received and heartily appre-
ciated. Respectfully yours,
