The Glenwood post., 1916-11-04

The campaign is drawing to close;
the chug, chug of the tiivvers will soon
be heard no more along the country
highways where the candidates have
been soliciting the support of the vot-
ers; the busy housewives will be given
relief from answering the ring of the
door hell as frustrated candidate
seeks her support; the ballots will have
been cast and counted; there will be
rejoicings and perhaps some disappolnt-
ments; another page will have been
written in the history of Garfield coun-
ty, the state and the nation. But when
it is all over and the returns are all in
and tabulated, we believe one of the
greatest Republican victories in the his
tory of America will have been won.
You have met the Republican candi-
dates for the various county offices.
They have Travelled over the county as
best they could under adverse weather
conditions, but many of you have seen
them, talked with them and announced
your intention of supporting them for
the reason you know them to be candi-
dates who are every whit competent to
give the best possible service in the
office they seek.
Let us again remind you of the per
sonnell of the Republican county ticket
for which we respectfully request your
hearty support in word and vote at the
election of Tuesday, November 7th.
There are two officials which must
necessarily work in hearty accord if
each is to fulfill the duty assigned
under the laws of the state. These are
the office of district attorney and sher-
iff.
No matter how energetic the sheriff
may be in arresting violators of the Law
if he does not have district attorney
who will aid him in effecting prose-
cutions. much of his work will be wasted.
No matter how willing the district at
tornev may be to prosecute law viola
tors. if the sheriff does not work hand
in hand with him and do his utmost
to effect arrests, nothing can be accom-.
plished.
That is why the Republicans are pin
ming their faith on R. p. Malaby for
sheriff of Garfield county and John L.
Noonan for district attorney of this, the
Ninth Judicial district. These men are
both familiar with the offices they
seek Both are determined, if elected,
to see that law violators are brought to
a minimum. They realize that together
they can better protect the citizenry
of this county and they will work to
that end.
Both of these gentlemen have bean
residents of the county for many years,
Malaby is experienced as few other
officers in the state. He has served as
city marshal of Glenwood Springs in
the days when gun men were plentiful
and he has come from his years of SER
vice as an officer with a record of
which any similar officer should feel
proud. Cool and deliberate in the time
of need fearless and willing to go the
full length to obey the will of tho
courts, he is especially fitted for the
office of sheriff.
Noonan, who has practiced law in
the county for years, knows the laws
of our state, believes thoroughly in the
courts and in the cases in which he
has been called by the court to aid in
prosecutions. he has displayed that trait
so necessary in district attorney tina,
of delving to the bottom of case and
discerning between the need Of prosecu-
ton and the wisdom of avoiding persc-
cution.
These men stand for enforcement of
law and will do their best to carry out
the will of the people as expressed on
the statute books Of the state and, by
working in. harmony, which they are.
sure to do, they can do things which.
should be done. '..''' ..,.,.
Give them your support that Garfield
county may have district attorney,
and a sheriff who can and will work in
full and complete harmony. ,.N
Doubtless, in reading the shove, 1t
occurred to you that the law-maker is,
equally necessary for the protection OF,
the people of this and other counties.
Here, again. you are right and for this
4 reason the Republicans Of Garfield,
Eagle and Pitkin counties have selected
J. W. Deane as candidate for state sen.
ator and. W. R. Lee. tBillie) Of Rifle
for state representative for Garfield
and Rio Blanco counties.
' The law-making has come. forward as
one Of the great things Of our state.
Men are needed At Legislative sessions
who will work for the best interest OF
