DIR. w. II. SHARPLEY
CANDIDATE FOR

CANDIDATE FOR

Probably no candidate for this
office is better known and more
deserving of the peoples con-
sideration than DR.. Sharpley.
Always of a broad mind and lib
eral disposition, DIR. Sharpley
Immediately commends himself
to our citizens of color. During
his term OF. office as health COM
missioner he was more than
painstaking in the treatment of
our people. AntitoXin for the
treatment of diphtheria and eX-
cellent, proficient care of all
who entered the Steele Hospital,
is a legacy left by DR.. Sharpley
which especially endears him to
colored people.
DR.. Sharpley has lived in
Denver since 1876; was police
surgeon five years and health
commissioner for eight years,
and two years superintendent of
County Hospital.
He is the father of the pres
ent efficient milk ordinance and
the meat inspection ordinance.
Best of all, DR.. Sharpley is a
fair-minded, liberal man, and
has as little prejudice as is pos
sible for a man to have. The
above requisites, together with
his ability and experience,
should cause every voter to Sc
riously consider DR.. Sharpley
for Commissioner of Social Wei.
