called "beer amendment" which Is to
ber election. We deem its purpose
vicious and its passage a calamity.
The Prohibition Law as passed by n
Republican legislature is a most COM
mendable one and we brand the "beer
amendment" as a blow to its every
purpose.
We pledge our candidates to II most
economical County administration
and for detailed reports by, and care
full audits of all reports of our Coun-
ty officials.
We recommend the policy of good
roads thruout the County and the
most judiciOus expenditure of money
for making and repairing same.
We favor the strict adherence to
the law governing the letting of all
contracts for furnishing the county
supplies, including provisions for
feeding prisoners and Jail supplies,
on competitive bids open to all re-
liable bidders. And with conditions
equal we recommend that the County
Commissioners give first considcra-
tion to Crowley County bidders in
letting contracts for furnishing sup
plies or providing public service of
any nature at public expense.
We regret the County is unable at
this time to erect Court House in
keeping with its needs, and in lieu of
this we recommend that the resident
iaI portion of the County Jail building
used as such until such time as the
County is able to build.
We deem 1t extravagant to pay
monthly rental on the present Court
House quarters, which are, to say
the least, unsightly and inconvenient,
and at the same time furnish one
County Official with a home superior
to the finest residence within the
County. Therefore, we pledge Re-
publican Officials to do everything in
their power to bring about this
change and thereby very materially
decrease the taxpayers burdens.

Urge Lower
ing Burdens

Following are the resolutions as
adopted by the Republican party Of
Crowley county at the county assemb-
ly held in Ordway on Saturday of last
week. They are most commendable
and specify one plank which will
meet the approval of every taxpayer:
RESOLUTIONS
We, the Republicans OF Crowley
county assembled, deem it appro-
pirate at this time to express our
pleasure because of the reuniting of
the Grand Old Party. We foresee a
a national victory in 1915 wherein
we viewed defeat four years ago. The
nomination OF Charles f. Hughes for
the Presidency has brought about,
this reunion in a way that will wrcst
the affairs Of this nation from the
hands OF Democratic officials, who
have by their "Watchful Waiting"
policy allowed our nation to become
the victim of widespread criticism,
quately protect our industries caused
them to face ultimate ruin.
We favor the principles enunciated
in the 1916 platform of the National
Republican Party in its entirety and
as embodied in the letter Of accept
ance OF our Presidential Candidate
Charles E. Hughes.
We favor the protection of our in
dustries of whatever nature, and we
especially urge the maintenance of
the sugar tariff for the protection of
our beet growers.
1t is with pleasure that we are able
to point out the work of the past two
years in Colorado under a Republican
been placed on an excellent industrial
and financial basis thru the business
like administration of affairs. The
State has been brought out Of turmoil
and strife into peaceful existence;
her coal mines have been turned into
scenes Of activity wherein at the time
the Democratic officials turned over
the affairs of the State to this admin
istration there was civil strife which
caused loss Of life, destruction Of
and financial depression, dis
couraging capital from Investment
within our borders and driving labor
from our State. We, therefore, heart
lily commend the present administers
tion's conduct Of a1IAtrs and pledge
our support for > continuance Of tl,e
strides for tnpsoved coAtittons.
We deplore She initiasAoa d the %

him position on the primary ballot,
when he arose and stated that he
pledged there in open assembly that
his personal support would be thrown
to Lewis Worker, the assembly NOM
inee. Delegates who had a warm
personal friendship for Mr.. Bouldin
had favored Mr.. Workers nomina-
ton very early in the game and had
urged him to make the race, there
fore they were not in a position to
support Mr.. Bouldin, and many ex-
pressions of commendation were ten
dered Mr.. Bouldin when he announc-
ed that the nominee would receive
his backing in the fall campaign.
Another surprise was that of the
extremely heavy vote cast for Frank
Peterson, candidate for the nomina-
tion to the Office of commissioner Of
the Third district. Mr.. Peterson was
the selection made by the farmers of
the unirrigated districts in the north,
northwest and northeast portions Of
the county regardless of politics. The
farmers had held numerous meetings
to decide on a candidate, with the
understanding that their selection
would be made without party affillia-
tions being taken into consideration.
What ever the politics of the candi-
date happened to be he should then
go before the assembly of that party.
Mr.. Peterson was chosen. He was
Republican and therefore went before
the Republican assembly last Satur-
day. 1t was known that he would
get the undivided support of the far
mers from these sections and would
be given good vote from delegations
in the irrigated districts but the vote
thrown to him from the irrigated
districts was even stronger than had
been estimated even by MIR. Peterson's
most loyal supporters. He got AZ
votes of the assembly, exactly two

Assembly Of Republicans
Develops Some Surprises
OF a Commendable Nature

The Republican county assembly
held here on Saturday of last week
brought some few surprises. In most
respects the result was about as had
been forccastcd by various dclcga-
tions and precinct committeeman.
One OF the surprises was the ter
mination OF the race for the nominal
ton to the Office OF county supcrin-
tcndent. Mrs. Thornton II. Thomas,
the eleventh hour candidate, came In
for "A strong vote and thru the cOur-
tesy OF Mr.. A. G. Bowers she is the
nominee who will go before the peo-
pie at the November election to con-
test for the position against the DEM
ocratic nominee. Mrs. Thomas was
placed before the convention in n
nominating speech by Mrs. ID. G.
Roberts. She captured 30 Of the 63
votes OF the assembly. Mr.. Bowers
got Do and Prof. G. F. Richardson
five. Mr.. Bowers had stated to the
New Era and to some of his friends
previous to the assembly that the as
Sembly vote would determine whether
or not he went on In the race for the
primary nomination. He favored, es-
pecially in this Office, the candidate
who secured the highest number Of
votes be given the uncontested nomi-
nation and 1t was commendable
move on his part when he arose in
the assembly and stated that he
would withdraw from the race to
leave the field clear for Mrs. Thomas
final primary selection. Some Of his
friends had urged him to come in the
race and he consented to do SO with
the understanding that the assembly
vote determine it, II possible, rather
than carry 1t on to the primary.
Another commendable act on the
part of a candidate was that of ]. P.
Bouldin, who received less than the
required number of votes to permit

Among the Exhibitors

S. l.. Sneed of the Grandview dis
trict and whose farm is known as
Longview, has raised some excellent
sudan grass despite the drought of

display for the New Era window
which was over five feet tall, cut
sixty days after planting. Mr.. Sneed
stated that there was very little mois-
ture, just enough to get the grain
sprouted and up, and it is typically
dry land growth. He has eight acres
of this which will produce him a lot
of fine feed.

The assembly was presided over by
w. c. Hanen of Olney Springs, with
Harry E. Mast of Ordway as secre-
tary. Ernest F. Greene was assistant
secretary for the checking of the bal
lots during the voting. Full delega-
tions were sent from every precinct
and the business of the assembly
went off without contest or disagree
ment in any way. Expressions during
Saturday evening and since from
every hand were to the effect that
everything was satisfactory, and the
candidates for positions on the pri-
mary ticket who failed to get the re-
quired number of votes and those
who withdrew, expressed themselves
as being pleased with the prospects
for Republican victory this fall.
There were no ill-feelings on the
part of anyone, and the ticket will
have the support of Republicans on
every hand.
COMMENDABLE RESOLUTIONS
The resolutions as adopted by the
Republicans for the fall campaign
are most commendable. They place
the Republican party on record for
the lowering of the burden on tax
payers, and do not leave it general,
but thru resolution, specify some of
the things in particular. Aside from
this various candidates have their
own platforms of economy on which
they will run, announcement of
which, in some cases, have already
been made Others will be made
public in due time. The resolutions
are to be found on first page Of this
issue.

Begins Season by Defeating
Leland & Gray Team by
11-3 Score
DISPLAYS GOOD
BATTING STRENGTH
Randall, Center Filder of Visiting
Team, Contributes Sensational One
Hand Running Catch-New Men on
Local Team Show Up Well

After having tried for three days to
play the opening game of the season
Brattleboro high and Leland and Gray
seminary teams got together on the
Valley fair grounds yesterday after
noon. Brattleboro high won, IL to 3,
in game in which there was nothing
sensational except running one-hand
catch by Randall, center fielder of the
visiting team.
Bond, who had never played on the
local school team before, developed an
exceptional batting eye. The first time
up he hit to short and was thrown out.
The next time he singled and when he
tried again he Bothered that attempt
one base. A long fly to center was his
next offering and on his last appear
ancc he doubled again thereby collect
ing a batting average that would sat
isfy most any youth on his first at
tempt.
Adams twirled the first three innings
and allowed one hit in each of the
first two innings. A double and a sin
gle aided by two luscious errors gave
the visitors two runs.
Shea next shifted from center field
to the pitcher s slab, Adams retiring
to the middle garden. The first thre"
men to face the new twirler famed the
air with freedom and viciousness. The
next three retired on infeld taps. In
his third inning two singles and two
passes showed the last run for the Wis
itors over the plate Shea regained
control of the situation i'll the seventh,
the last inning he twirled, and re
tired his opponents in order. Stowell
pitched the last two innings, allowing
one single.
1t was not until the fourth inning
that Brattleboro high started scoring,
but once started they did the job in
punches. Three runs in the fourth on
good hitting were followed by three
more in the fifth which developed from
two errors, a pass and a single. y hit
by pitcher, base on balls, two singles
and Bonds second double developed 8
bunch of Four in the seventh and in the
eighth Gallup S triple and passed bal
showed across the last tally.
Sammy Plumb was again behind
the bat and was handy With the willow
for he pasted the bah for three singles
Harry Plumb, brother of the catcher
like Bond, made his first appearance
on the team and in five attempts mad
three singles, was hit and famed. Fo
first attempt the batting strength o
the team looked to be better than
has been in some recent seasons. TIL
