Miss Ada Horton, Candidate
For County superintendent

The work to be accomplished in
the office of County Superintendent
of Schools, is none the less important
because it is not brought before the
public gaze as much as that in other
county offices.
Miss Ada Horton. the Republican
candidate for this office, is an active
and efficient teacher in the Delta Pub
lie Schools, and is thus prevented
from ma king a personal campaign
throughout the county.
Notwithstanding this obvious hand
leap, Miss Horton is prepared to make
the race-and win-on her fitness for
the position gained from years of
study and tuition. Miss Horton has
had five years experience teaching
in the various grades in country
schools, in graded schools. and in the
Delta Public Schools since January
], 1907. She is further qualified TO
supervise the work and organization
OF the Delta County Schools by vir-
tue of her normal training in the East,
in addition TO holding a life certificate
and Pd. b. Degree from the Colorado

Ever since his coming to our coun-

identified with the fighters against

the leaders in putting the saloons out

to assist in rolling IN the big Delta

CLANCY Bowen for Commits
Z ESiOner of the Third District

County. Mr.. Bowen yielded to the earn
est solicitation of his many friends,
all of whom consider him to be the
best qualified man in the District for
that important position.
Mr.. Bowen is man OF few words

among electors by means of specious
pledges and promises-a method now

was Gods presence and blessing was
with them. So will it be today if we

to his children the heritage of a
good name-mOre precious than
