George E. McClelland, the high
man in the congressional assembly OF
the Republicans held at Golden, car
ried eight counties in solid vote, got
half of Bent county and fourteen out
of twenty in Otero. Peterson s
strong vote was in Pueblo, his home
which, however, speaks we'll for him
in that respect.
Both of Mr.. McClelland's oppon-
ents are lawyers and with five law
yers now in congress, two in the SEN
ate and three in the house, the cleo
tion of Peterson and Stanley would
make full delegation of lawyers in
congress. This was one reason why
McClelland was given so strong a
vote. The desire of those interested
in the development of agriculture,
mining and manufacturing to have a
his favor.
Being business man himself he
stands for those things that will ad-
vance business of all kinds. He has
been engaged in mining in Colorado
for thirty-five years and during all
this time has never had trouble with
his men, having always paid the high
est going wages. His strongest back
ing right now is among those who
have worked for him in the past.
He is the father of what is known
as the McClelland tunnel, now in the
mountains 5000 feet. This is one
of the largest projects of the kind in
the west, having for its object the un-
watering of large mining area and
the development of rich mineral
district.
George E. McClelland is the first
mayor in Colorado, and probably the
first mayor Of any mining town in
the United States, who made the sa-
looms close on Sunday, and who has
always insisted that all laws and Or
dinances regulating the liquor traffic
be rigidly enforced. He favors pro-
hibition in Colorado and is against
saloon dominition in the nation.
