During his congressional career,
Ed Taylor has got twelve important
measures through congress, for the
benefit of settlers on the public
lands. He has done enough for the
settlers of this county to entItle him

Charles II. Leckenby, Democratic
candidate for auditor of state, is of
the younger element of Colorado
Democracy. He is clean and able,
