mated by the Republican county

five years, part Of which time he
has been identified with the Union
National Bank Of Greeley rs Cashier,
and for two terms he held the Office
of county treasurer, which position
he filed with much credit to himself
and advantage to the county.
His fairness and broad policy in
this capacity won him hundreds OF
friends.
His experience as farmer and
rancher and III financial matters
should fit him for the position OF
commissioner and enable him to handle
the business Of the county in an un-
usually competent and business-like
manner.
1t should be extremely gratifying to
the people of the northern and eastern
end of the county that Mr.. Adams is
as we'll versed in the needs, of this as

of this district. However if popular
choice ia tn he made. it behOoves every
