To All Voters

For the benefit of those persons
who have been advised to tho con-
trary, and for the information OF the
voters generally thruout the county,
desire to state that il am elected
to the office OF Sheriff at the General
Election this fall, 1 will not appoint
an Undcr-shcrif who is a member of
my family, nor one who is related to
me in any manner. This statement
should set at rest the rumors which
have been brought to the attention
OF some of my friends, to the effect,
that IL elected, 1 would use the Sher-
IFS office as n means of giving en-
ploymcnt to certain of my relatives.

CarIsOn's Support

The Ministerial Alliance of Denver
has entered in an active participation
in political affairs of the primary and
general election campaigns. Letters
have been sent out sounding the
warning and urging people to vote
the defeat of the beer amendment
and vote for men who will enforce
all laws. The letter in part follows:
'"The churches of Colorado never
faced more serious problem in any
election than they will face this year
The law enforcing machinery of the
state will be elected this fall; there
fore, the liquor interests are moving
as one to elect liberal men to these
positions. They have made it their
! business to see to it that the candi-
dates of one or the other of the old
J parties represent their interests.
'The duty of the church in this
crisis is clear, and as the Ministerial
| Alliance of the city of Denver, we
believe it to be our duty to issue this
call to arms believing that our in
teresfs are common and that we
should present a united front in the
primaries on September 12, 1916.
in order that the right men may be
nominated. The defeat of the Beer
Amendment alone is not enough. 1t
is but mere incident in this fight,
for unless we elect good men to Of
! flee, our prohibitory law, if saved,
will not be enforced.
| "Unless we carry the primaries, our
votes will be of no effect in November.
1t is more important, therefore, that
we go to the primaries on September
18th and vote for our choice of can
didates than to go to the polls in
November.

Turkeys Rid Farm
Of Hopper Pests

Joe Wallace, whose farm is located
to the northwest Of Sugar City, be-
lieves that the grasshopper pests can
be done away with by the turkey"
system. He says:
'.For the past three years it has
cost the taxpayers (Which means the
farmers) of this county $5,OOO.OO for
fighting the grasshopper pest.
''The past five years 1 have sold
81 ,3Go worth of turkeys with very
little trouble and expense. This year,
so far, 1 have cleaned up the chop
perS' on 12O acres with 175 turkeys,
and they are still doing good work
and growing fat.
~ would advise every farmer in
the county to raise fifty turkeys at
least which will do away with the
hoppers and give some extra money.
what is the matter with saving
the poison expense and labor and get
ting some turkey money!"
This method of determination has
been proven by Mr.. Wallace, and rs
not a suggestion for experiment. At
the same time he has been getting rid
of the hoppers he has been making a
profit out of the turkeys.

Mr.. Hughes Answer

Those friends of Democracy who
clamored so loudly for Mr.. Hughes
opinions upon current issues while
he still held the high office of justice
of the supreme court, are now fully
answered by the private citizen, who
surrendered his judicial position to
accede to the wishes of majority of
the people as expressed through their
instructions to their delegates to the
Republican national convention.
Mr.. Hughes has not disappointed
those who have reposed confidence in
his character and judgment. In his
speech of acceptance he has clearly
set forth the vital issues upon which
the Republican party proposes to
conduct the campaign this fall. On
the platform he is telling the nation
wherein the present administration
has been at fault and what is neces-
sary to be done to restore the United
States to the place of respect and
honor to which it is entitled in the
eyes of the world.

 There never was a greater fallacy than that the farmer. the manufacturer, the banker and the railroad man should be limited to living return on his capital whether it be cash, labor, experience, enterprise. ability or a combination of all.
 A mans labor Is entitled to all that 1t can earn and mans money is en- titled to the same privilege.
