TO TAXPAYERS AND PATRONS
OF THE TREASURER'S OFFICE

AS your present treasurer and as a
candidate for reelection, l desire to
state, that while | have no desire to
equal the eight year record of my
able predecessor, | am an active
candidate for one more term, on
platform of absolute efficiency, cour-
tesy and promptness, in the conduct
of the official business of the Office
It seems that the principal argu-
ment, in favor of the candidacy of
my opponent for the office, is the
promise that, in case he should be
elected, that he will endeavor to op-
crate the office without the assist
ance of a regular deputy.
In answer to this, I would simply
say that, after four years of expert
ence with the work of the office, l do
not believe that it would be practical
nor satisfactory to the patrons of the
office, to attempt to run the office
without duly commissioned deputy,
under bond, who should be RESPONSE
BILE under that bond for errors which
might occur in the records of the Of
flee, which often involve the very
titles to your property and mine.
The business of the office now
amounts to $250,000.00 per year and
will be more next year, and require
an accurate knowledge of the details
of the work, in order to be handled
properly, SO that in case of tempo
rary or permanent disability of the
treasurer it is vitally important that
some one thoroughly cOnversant with
the work could take charge at once
During the semi-annual tax col
lecting periods and at the time of the
annual tax sales, it would be utter
folly for one man to attempt to do
the work, so that inexperienced help
would necessarily have to be en-
ployed for those periods at least.
In fact the matter of the employ
ment of deputy is not within the
province of the treasurer or those
who by their votes place him in Of
flee, but is at the discretion of the
Board of County Commissioners
who are the sole judges of the need
of a deputy and of the salary to be
paid.
Further; the expenses of the prin-
cipal county offices in this state are
provided for by the fee system, which
system must provide for the expenses
of the different offices.
The Treasurer office in this coun-
ty has paid the salary of the treas
urer and the salary of the deputy
treasurer and we have a surplus of
earnings over and above expenses of
nearly 100000 per year, which is
turned back into the county funds
for use in other departments of the
county government.
No other office in the county has
shown a surplus of over $4,000 in
the last two years and yet deputy
is employed without question.
Thus we believe that the ices
earned amply provide for, and the
business done demands the employ
ment of an efficient deputy, all of the
time, in order that the property in
terests affected by the business OF
the treasurer's Office may be properly
protected, and upon this platform
solicit your vote, and if you will give
| this simple statement careful study
| | will cheerfully abide by your deci-
sion on Nov. 9TH.
Sincerely yours,
A. F. COOLEY.

VICIOUS ATTACKS ON THE
HON. JAMES p. VEERKANIP
Democratic Candidate. for District
Attorney, 18th Judicial
District.
WHY :?

In his candidacy for the office of
District Attorney for the 18th Judi
cia District, State of Colorado, the
vicious and malicious attacks made
upon him by his enemies and his
vould-be friends should not in any
wise disturb the Hon. j. P. Veerkamp
Of Monte Vista, Colorado.
The petty jealousies of his con-
ireres in the legal profession seems
10 be manifesting itself in a perfect
deluge or rancor and hate as eX-
pressed through the medium of the
press and the personal activities of
the individuals.
The vital questions to the voters
rn the 18th Judicial District is
whether or not the office of District
Attorney shall and will be admins
Tered in an honest efficient and eco
pomical manner, without corruption
of graft. 1t is needless to expatiate
upon the abilities of Mr.. Veerkamp
rs lawyer, for the records of not
only his former state of Missouri but
me records of the State and Federal
lourts of the State of Colorado in
Fne last twenty-five years give ample
Evidence of his successes.
his platform of honest, efficient
aha economical administration with
.ul corruption or graft and without
,taf or favor is sufficient to startle
us opponents into feverish activity
their attempts to besmirch his
eputation in the estimation of the
'o'er. 1t is incredible that such ac-
