Gilpin observer., 1916-10-26

For the benefit Of the many read
ers OF the Observer we will place
before them a list OF the Democrat
ic candidates for county office, that
uhe public may readily see that the
list OF men and women chosen, have
seldom been equalled, and never ex-
ce,.ed IN lie history CT t. 3 ccI-sy.
The first ON the list is w. o. Jen-
Rins for Representative. NIr. jenkins
las served this county one term in
that capacity, and knows full well
the methods by which favorable leg
islation can be obtained For many
years he has been connected with
the First National bank, and also an
enthusiast in the promotion of min
ing in this county, and has a person
al knowledge of mining and the
needed mining laws, so essential at
this time to aid in a new mining era,
the like of which tile country has
seldom seen. Nlr. jenkins, will no
doubt be elected, and the mining in
dustry will have tie benefit OF hts
best sefforts.
Fer county judge, w. ]. Stull is
tco we'll known to the voter as re-
CARDS his fitness for this important
office. His ability as a newspaper
man cannot be questioned and his
intimate connection with probate and
other law through newspaper pub.ica-
tions for the past twenty years fits
him we'll for the position. His ready
discernment between right and wrong,
tempered with universal observation,
makes him, not only an ideal candi-
date, but one on whom the people
may safely rely. Mr.. Stull ought to
command the vote of ALL irrespective
OF party.
Norris Hazard, the Democratic can
didate for county clerk and recorder,
is one OF the few surviving pioneers
of the county in early days. AS a
youth he came, and has devoted his
time and energies in the upbnilding
of the county's man industry, and
for the first time, he now comes be-
fore the people to solicit their pat
ronage, and ask their aid in his cleo
tion. Mr.. Hazard is known by all
to be thoroughly competent for the
office he seeks, and all good Demo
= Gratis. as we'll as his friends, should
put an X opposite his name.
Albert S. Gundy, the present sher-
if, should be reelected. MIR. Gundy
has conducted this office for the past
two terms, wisely and we'll. His dig
nified bearing, and at the same time.
his kindly treatment towards those
who are SO unfortunate as to come
under his charge, have won the res
pect of not only those who onave been
consigned to his care, but the entire
popurace. Mr.. Gundy's fame as an
efficient officer Is not confined to
his county, but Is far reaching In
state, as no papers are ever placed
in his hands that are not served if
the offender Is still within the con-
lines or the S.ate. his SWdi9ntIoi-
ward business principles and his
courteous treatment towards those
suspected though not yet found guilty
has won him myriad of friends re-
gardless of political lines, that will
see THAT he is elected by an over
wthelming majority, as he is a native
born CT the county. and his life, as
well as his deeds are an open book.
Henry P. Altvater, as county, treas
urer, will receive nearly the unani'
nous vote OF the county. His record
as an efficient officer and tax col
lector stands without a peer. He
was born from hardy stock, Graded
in the shadows Of cur giant and
everlasting golden peaks. and ar
rived at manhood's useful years
with that health and vigor that only
those who have access to cur salubri
ous end invigorating chme can hope
to attain. HIS record as an astute
