El Paso Wins the
Money and Hatred
Of Soldier Boys

That the National Guardsmen are
being held on the border for an un-
due period through well-organlzcd
system OF deception, instituted by the
commercial interests of Ell Paso who
are reaping a harvest on the soldier
boys coin, is information given to W..
c. May OF Gothenberg, Ncb,. by a
close friend OF his who has just re-
turned from the border country.
The FL Paso merchants multiply
prices by two, three and sometimes
four when a guardsman enters their
establishment, it is said, and that larg-
er figures are used as time progresses.
One week, it is said. a jacket coat
might sell for $6-regular price 81 or
$3-wil be $S the following week and
$40 the next.
That the guardsmen realize the rea-
son for their prolonged stay on the
border is manifested by an assertion
attributed to a major in a Pennsyl-
vania regiment: 81 wouldn't lift a
hand to help FL Pasoans," said the
major, If | knew that the Mexicans
were about to blow their city to hell"

STATE SENATOR

Sewers Fincher, the Democratic
float senator in the 26th senatorial
district, comprising Gilpin. Clear
Greek, Summit and Grand counties,
should be elected for several reas-
ons.
Mr.. Fincher was elected to the
Nineteenth General Assembly from
Summit county in 1912, and at once
Sprung into prominence as one of the
leaders of the house. He was again
elected to the Twentieth assembly,
and that body having a Republican
majority, he was selected by his
party to be the minority leader of
the house.
During his four years of service.
Mr.. Fincher was ever found voting
and champicning those bills that
would be of the utmost good to the
state. He was reared in one of our
great mining counties, and his whole
life has been devoted to the inter
est OF mining.
His Thorough knowledge of mining
and his great influence as leader
In parliamentary bodies, coupled with
the fact that all his interests are
closely allied to mining, makes him
an ideal candidate for this section
Of the mining counties, and, as here
tofore, he will ever be found on
the alert to protect this great indus
try.
HIS knowledge Of legislative bod
les, and his personal strength of con-
viction in debate, gives him an ad-
vantage that no novice can hope to
attain. Every mirera producer in
the county should cast their vote for
Siewers Fincher If they want these
