Denver, Colo, August 23 1916
Dear Sir:
Section Is of Chapter 49, Session Laws Of oorado 1915,
invests the county Of the state with jurisdiction all
violations of the said law which declared therein to be
isdemeanors. The aforesaid chapter is commonly known
as the Prohibition Enforcement Act.
Therefore, the temperance forces of the state deeply
concerned in the matter Of this laws absolute enforcement
We believe that this law, harmonzng with Article d Of the
constitution Of the Of Colorado, has other intent than
absolutely prohibit the manufacture sae importation, and
handling any wise whatsoever Of Intoxicating liquor, and
any other construction is contrary the will of the people,
Therefore, asking each candidate for the office Of county
judge to state positively what his attitude will be elected to
the office he seeks
The Anti-Saoon League makes recommendation as
between candidates. but Of the features Of the organization
information bureau, giving to the voters the
attitude the various candidates, gathered from their
declarations and past records
We believe that is necessary in order dislodge the
renched oators of the law and to keep out of the state such
persons that the maximum penalty provided by law should be
imposed Upon person convicted.
Owing to the short time remaining until primary day,
ask that you give prompt reply.
Cordially Yours,
A. J. FINCH,
State Superintendent.

been, without solicitation by himself,
employed as town attorney for Ordway.
Aside from that he has had no office

Every independent voter who
approves the Presidents policies
and would aid in his reelection
may help his cause wonderfully by
helping Democrats to select strong
local candidates those who will
add strength to the party ticket.
Every Republican-real Lincoln
republican-who believes, as he
did, in the common people and
their rights and material interests,
can help retain the only common
peoples administration this coun-
try has had in a generation by
helping Democrats to nominate
only such local candidates as will
draw votes for their ticket. For
conscience sake, do it.
The Ordway new era., 1916-09-01

Both before and at the time of
our county assembly the most
active of the workers and leaders
of thought on party affairs gave
it as their opinion that it was not
fair to candidates that the assemb-
ly weed out any who had an
nounced themselves but that each
one ought to be and would be
given his chance among the vot-
ers, many advocating the justice
of a fairly equal division among
competitors and so voting. No
candidate therefore was left out
of the running, and the fact that
one had a vote or two, or a few
votes more or less than another
was not necessarily an expression
Of his standing even among the
delegates, much less among party
voters.
What was it that Ye disputed

But they held their peace; for by
the way they had disputed among

Yes, l had dinner served to all
the delegates to the Democratic
Assembly-not as any special fav-
or to them as individuals, but be-
cause l thought it the duty of all
the candidates to see that delegat-

or confusion. l took it upon my
self, early in the morning of the
assembly day, to 60 to all the ho
tells and restaurants and with each
one arrange that a certain number
of delegates would be sent for din
ner, thus favoring the eating
places by notice of extra necessary
cooking and assuring better meals
and service than could have been
otherwise provided. But not un-
til the assembly was over, the
votes had been cast and the dele
gates at home were any of them

date made inquiry as to how it

| people administration thlS cOun-
try has had in a generation by
helping Democrats to nominate
only such local candidates as will
draw votes for their ticket. For
conscience sake, do it.
Many friends have asked why |
do not get out all over the county,
shake hands and electioneer with
the people.
The income of the office of
County Judge is not great enough
to warrant large expenditure by
one who seeks it for the one pur-
pose of serving the people therein.
I'm not now in that, or any other
office, drawing pay whether l
work or not. I've no notes or
bonds drawing interest; nor hous-
es or farms yielding rents; nor
farm, nor cattle ranch, nor stock
ranch, making me money while l
sleep. or play at politics. My law
practice yields as good an income
as any county office, but only
when l work at it. The business
has been built up and prospers
every day only by my being on the
job every day and every business
hour. Not a penny does it yield
when am away from it. Like
everything else, such a business
must go forward or it will go
backward. 1t will not stand still
and wait.
Under our party's system, one
who seeks election to a county Of
flee has to make race before the
precinct caucus and primary, the
county assembly and the general
primary election, and if he sue
ceeds in getting a nomination at
last, his real race is just begun.
Should he work steadily through
all, he would be like Josh Billings
man, who may ware white
shirt a week and keep it clean,
but he CANT do nothin else"
Between Sept. IL and Nov. 7, if
the party gives me more votes
than either of the others asking
nomination for county judge, my
chance of final success will be so
good that can afford to give the
whole ticket my very best efforts.

rangenent.

Some of the prospective candi-
dates for County Judge have put
themselves on record as opposed
to having a PROBATION OFFI-
GER, others have had nothing to
say on the subject. A County
Commissioner asked me straight
out, what l would do about ap-
pointing a Probation Officer. "Will
you" he said, pledge yourself not
to appoint a probation officer?'
l said to him, Il will not pledge
myself as to how l shall perform
any duty of the office, except that
which will be in the official bond
and oath of the office, but l will
right now assure you that if /
ever find it necessary to have per-
formed any of the duties of such
an officer, the County Commission
ers, no matter who they my be,
will willingly appropriate the nee
cessary moneys to pay for them" !"
A friend told me few days
ago, that in a talk he had had with
another lawyer who is competing
for the democratic nomination for
county Judge, that lawyer told
him that there was no question as
to Stanley's ability as a lawyer;
that no one could question his per-
sonal honesty and that he, no
doubt, would make a fair and just
Judge. Sincere thanks for 90 lib
eral an acknowledgment are
hereby rendered, and l can and do
return the compliment IN the full
|est measure.
