First-TO Start Right

The Republican nominee for presi-
dent, Mr.. Hughes, in a statement un-
der the caption, MY Conception OF
the Presidency" says this in part:
On the eve of Election Day the
American people are entitled to a
summary of the things l have stood
for in this campaign, as they are the
things l shall stand for as President.
No man can tell in advance what
unexpected demands the next four
years may present but one whose con-
ception of the Presidents duty rests
upon fundamental principles can de-
scribe with entire sincerity how the
problems of administration would be
approached and in what spirit they
would be solved.
A man charged with the duty of
reaching a desired goal knows that
the road to it is found in following
that path which sound judgment and
clear vision open up step by step. l
can show the road expect to travel.
propose first of all to start right.
That is identically what the Re-
publican nominees of this county have
said They propose to start right,
travel right and end right.

The funeral services for c. r.
Leighton who died on Thursday
of last week were held last Satur-
day forenoon at 1890 o'clock. Rev.
c. II. 1nman. formerly pastor of the

II Farmers are quite generally,
according to information receiv-
ed from various parts of the
county, in favor of o. S. Mitchell
for county treasurer. They con-
tend that Mitchell is more entitl-
ed to the office than is his oppon-
ent. and many of the opposition
party are recalling the fact that
when aspirants to the various
offices were making their an
nouncements Martin Hasstedt
had entered the race with much
encouragement from his many
friends and was the only candi-
date in his party for some time.
Later, however, he was contest
ed in the primary campaign by
Mr.. Ferguson who was then and
is now drawing a salary of 5000
per month"; as secretary of the
Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal
Co.
Mr.. Hasstedt's friends hoped for
his nomination inasmuch as he is
most capable young man, a far
mer. and a taxpayer nthe coun-
ty for several years. They could
not quite understand why Mr..
Ferguson, with a position pay
ing him 5000 per month, would
want the treasuryship Of the
county at less salary, unless he
intended to retain both offices.

Our Representatives

When you go to the polls on No
vember 7th remember that we are
much interested in our senator and
representatives, as you know we have
Inge on the other side of the river
who is running for senator. and Mu-
eller for representative, also on the
other side of the river, Crowley and
Otero being in the same district, they
are good men and should have the
support of the voters on this side as
we will and expect to get from them
for our man here, whom you all know
is M. f. Bashor.
Bashor has lived here for several
wears, and has been resident or
Colorado for 35 years. He has grown
up with Colorado, and is in position
to know the wants and needs OIL the
people. He is an upright, conscienti-
Gus man, always ready to do the fair
square thing by everybody. and will
take advise and council from the peo-
nile of this district. A vote for these
men will help Governor Carlson in
administering the wants of the peo-

Carlson Opponents

The Gunter supporters are getting
mighty hard up for campaign talk
when it becomes necessary for such
papers as the Pueblo Star Journal and
others to throw mud at Carlson's pro-
fessional services before becoming
governor. Such useages are not per-
missable not even in politics, and the
good people should give Carlson their
support because such interests are
opposing him. The Denver Post also
has some selfish purpose that they
do not portray to us when trying to
make us believe that they are so much
interested in our welfare that they
will spend thousands of dollars and
every effort to defeat Carlson who is
the peoples choice and the peoples
governor. A vote for Carlson is a
vote against those people who would
usurp our school land and the coal
that lies under it, together with other
rights, if possible.

Toe allace For
Commissioner

Joe Wallace, candidate for Commits
sioner of the Third District on the
Republican ticket, is man who has
always had the interests of Ordway
at heart. 1t will be recalled, that
when the question of location for
the new court house and Jail was
brought up, the citizens of Ordway
objected to the location which was as
first contemplated by the Commits
sioners. A committee of a dozen or
more called upon one of the Commits
sioners, Mr.. F. r. Phillips, who is the
representative from this district, and
laid their views before him regard
ing the location of these buildings.
They said they wished to see the court
house placed on Main street, and that
inasmuch as no definite location had
been decided upon, they said they
were united in wishing to have it
built on it's present location. Mr..
Phillips very coolly ignored their re-
quest however, and said he intended
to vote in favor of the location in the
east part of town, out in the alfalfa
fields, unhandy and inconvenient to
everyone who has occasion to use it.
The committee then gave up hope
of being able to do anything with Mr..
Phillips, as it seemed he was deter
mined to do exactly what the resi-
dents of Ordway did not want him. as
their Commissioner, to do. They
therefore made visit to the home of
Joe Wallace, whose home is in the Su-
gar City precinct, and laid the mat
ter before him. Mr.. Wallace at once
assured the committee that inasmuch
as the court house was to be built in
Ordway, he believed it should be
placed SO as to benefit the town in
the greatest possible manner, and
that he was bound to vote in favor of
any location which seemed to the
citizens of Ordway most advantage
GUS. He stayed by that promise, and
consequently, against the vote and
wish of Mr.. Phillips the court house
and Jail were located on their present
site.
II 1t had not been for help from
Commissioner who does not even live
or represent our district, the court
house would now be over on the East
side Of town, where no one would be
able to find it without help. The
people OF Ordway have not forgotten
this failure OF their Commissioner to
help them when he had . chance.
A vote for Mr.. wallace means .
vote for NAH who will represent the,
whole county and leave his personal
|prejudices behind him when he has
county business to transact. I

DO YOU KNOW THIS?

Edward Keating is not real resi-
dent of the Third Congressional Dis
trict of Colorado. The only home
he maintains in this district is a
room at the Congress hotel in Pueblo
when he happens to be in that city.
The records of Pueblo county fail to
show he has any property or pays any
taxes. Here is a case of represent
alton without taxation" Geo. E. Nc
Cleliand has lived in the Third Con-
gressional District of Colorado for SO
years. He owns much property in
this district. He has paid personally
together with the companies he has
formed and in which he is large
stockholder during his residence in
this district, not less than $4,000 in
taxes. Frankly, can a man who does
not live in the district, owns no pro-
perty and pays no taxes in the dis
trict serve the people and the indus
tries at Washington as well and as
faithfully, as man who has lived
here for many years, owns property
and is a large taxpayer?

that l would be influenced by $50

certainly cannot think that he would

1 ito take over this fair because he has
a little measley seventy dollars in

The matter of the county fair was

1.-The matter until campaign time, then

CAN The DEN" CoATS
WIN IN The NaTI-N?
NEED A MILLION MORE VOTES
THAN THEY EVER GOT TO WIN,
SAYS JOURNAL, WITH WILL
SONlAN LEANINGS.

Can the Democrats win?' asks The
New Republic, a journal of opinion
published in New York, whose editors
have expressed desire for Demo-
cratic victory After such a question
the publication publishes an article
showing that the odds are clearly
against the Democrats and in favor
of the Republicans.
Twenty years ago William Jen-
nings Bryan polled for the Democracy
6,5O2,925 votes" it says. This was
slightly less than AZ per cent of the
total vote cast. Four years later the
vote fell off 144,136 and the percent
age dropped to As. In l." 4 with Park
was 5,077,971. In 1908 Bryan polled
6,393,1S2. This was more than in 1900
but did not equal his vote of 1896 and
the percentage, "A, was less than ever.
In 1912 Wilson's vote, 6,293,454, was
less than Bryan had in any of his cam
paigns and the percentage of the total
sank to AZ. During this period OF
Democratic decline the country in
creased in population from IS to "a
millions, three states entered the
Union and the total vote cast rose
from 13,s23,37s to 15,036.542.
1T is upon this basis, AZ per cent,
that the Democrats must build in the
present campaign. Presumably they
may be certain of this vote as basis
for effort, first, because 1t has been
faithful in these twenty years and sec
ond, because 1t remained Democratic
in 1912 when the temptation to break
from the party was greater than it is
in 1916
"It is clear" says the article in con.
clusion, that a Democratic victory
this fall must result from a tremen-
dous increase In the total vote cast,
Of which by far the bulk must go to
Wilson, or from realisnment of the
former vote in such q way rs to break
the habit Of practice Of the past
twenty years. After all It ID the Dem.
ocrats, not the Republicans, who must

constitutional amendment to apply

the people who favored this measure
are now opposed to it and wanted to
withdraw it from the ballot but found
it too late.
That measure would, If passed, be
