CONGRATULATIONS. BILL.

for their aid in the election, even
Though he did not emerge from the
battle of the ballots a winner. Mr..
Fullerton, our opponent for county
Judge. appealed strongly to the voter
for sentimental reasons and they
concluded to keep the old gentleman
in the office. The writer does not
feel peeved or sore at anyone over
his defeat and is just as willing to
serve the public and favor the peo-
pie now as he has been the past
twelve years or more he has resfd-
ed in the county. We have always
tried to be winner in the political
game and if not that, a good loser.
We extend to Mr. Fullerton our
hearty and sincere congratulations
and wish him a continuance of smc-
cess in the office and TRUST .liat his
health will permit him to enjoy life
the remainder of his years in our

POST OFFICE ROBBERY

The U. S. post office at Central
City was burglarized last Thursday
night and $1,000 in stamps and mon
ey taken.
The burglars gained an entrance
through a back window by breaking
the one-half inch steel bars and
forced the door leading into the main
office. They must have been expert
ysggmen, as they worked the com
bfnation OF tile safe instead of blow
ing it.
TIE robbery was discovered by tht
postmaster when he went to prepare
the mail for the morning train, whI
at once notified the post office in
spector at Denver who came UP ON
the next train, also a dispatch for
warded to the post office department
at Washington.
The burglars nre supposed to be
members of gang that have been

Colorado of late and for the good OF
the state should be run down ant

THE MARCH OF EVOLUTION

AT the time Of going to press, all
reports show that Wilson Is again
elected president by a safe majority
together with a Democratic house
and an increased majority in the U.
S. senate.
The powers OF Wall Street, and all
other eastern financial centers pour
ed their millions Of dollars into the
campaign fund in order to stem the
rising tide Of genuine Amerdcanism
thai Is SO dear to every patriotic
heart in the great and growing west.
The campaign just closed, shows
no parallel i'm history. inasmuch as
those whom we once revered and
We're mistakenly considered, as great
men, were found to be groveling in
the slough of pollution, side by side
with ward heelers whose only stock
in trade is abuse, Misrepresentation
and villainy.
The campaign just closed, shows
that for the first tine since thts re-
public was founded, the west and
south can elect a president without
the aid of the New England OF the
Atlantic Middle States. Thus con
firming the old adage, that westward
the star of empire and loyalty to q
sovereign power, takes its way. This
spirit of western loyalty is not con
fined to party, but to people whose
vision of justice is as bread as the
boundless plains that traverse this
union of states from Canada to Mex.
leo.
The financial bill, recently pass.
ed by Democratic congress, and
put into operation by Democratic
president, establishing twelve region
al banks throughout the several
parts CT the nation, is in great
measure responsible for this transi.
tion, as the great west is no longer
obliged to bow in humble submission
to tine mandates of Wall Street, or
any other eastern financial power.
With President Wilson to be Dur
guiding star for the next four years,
the country will be placed in such
an industrial condition, by the en-
actment of such wholesome laws
THAT the party will remain in power
as long as justice is done the peo.

Woodrow Wilson was reelected
president in Tuesdays election in
one of the closest contests held in
the nation in years. Not until late
this afternoon was it finally deter
mined that Wilson would have a ma
jortty in the electoral college. The
latest reports the Observer could re-
ceive before going to press were that
New Hampshire one of the doubtful
states had been conceded to Wilson
and that Wilson's lead in California
was between 1000 and 5000 with
100 precincts to hear from. The
presidents lead was so great that
the outcome of tire vote in these
precincts could not give the state to
Hughes. The electoral vote will be
close but Wilson will have safe
majority.
The outcome of the election MS to
the county ticket was a surprise to
everyone, the Republicans electing a
majority >of their candidates, despite
the fact that THE vote on president
and state offices showed the Demo
cratic sentiment to be strong in the
county. Party hines were disregarded
when it came to voting the local
tickets, conseque ntly Republicans
Who had no idea of being successful

gua's Election Under Eye Of United States

that they were too orderly because the
opposition knew the futility of trying
to make a show at the polls, or at the
urns, as the Latin-American phrase
goes. Generally. the opposition waited
until after the election and then start
ed revolution.
1t is now the openly avowed purpose
of the United States to prevent revo-
lutions in Latin-American countries.
This is considered better policy than
trying to stop them after they have
been started.
The immediate question is how far
the moral influence of the United States
will assure q full and free election, so
that no faction will be able to COM
plain that it was cheated at the polls
and is therefore not bound by the re-
suit. The moral influence of this coun-
try is still backed by the presence of
the 100 marines who have been sta
toned at Managua since the Taft ad-
ministration put them there.
Some of the factions, or groups, claim
that the only chance for fair election
is to have the United States supervise
the ballot boxes. We did that once in
Panama, and also in Santo Domingo,
but Washington does not look with
favor on it as a permanent policy. The
tendency is to discourage representa- :
tions of undue influence and unfair bal
loting made in advance of the election.
Instead, the wiser plan has been adopt
