Always on the Job

George Z. Colgate, the Republican
designate and nominee for Represen-
tative from Fremont county. has
proved himself a strong man in the
General Assembly of the State, and
his campaign for reelection to mem
bership in that body is being made
upon his record as legislator. Mr..
Colgate bears the unique reputation
OF having been the only member of
the last biennial Legislature that did
making body of Colorado. He took
the utmost interest in its work and
was always in his seat in the assem-
bly, chamber at roll call. A number
people of the state were originated by
him, and by his efforts were enacted
into laws for the public good. Mr..
Colgate was always on the job, and
by his intelligent understanding of
his duties and his devotion to them
proved himself to be valuable man
for the people.
Mr. Colgate needs no special enco-
MUM at the hands of the public press.
He has lived in Fremont county for
many years, and is widely known to
its people. He has been county
superintendent here and has taught
with great acceptability in its public
schools. His education is liberal and
his comprehension of state and ma
tional affairs keen and incisive. If
elected TO the Legislature. as we be-
lieve he will be. he viii take into its
deliberations a mind we'll stored with
needful facts and broad and thor
ough understanding of the require
menst of the position.
In this critical time of the coun-
try's history the Republican party is
supporting no man for public place
that is not a died-in-the-wool and an
unquestioned patriot. Mr.. Colgate's
Americanis6a is of the true-blue va
riety and SAi stand all tests imposed
upon it. He is for the Stars and
Stripes and the principles of liberty
and humanity 1t stands for, come what
may Unconditional surrender of dis
loyalty and faithful allegiance to the
flag, wherever they may be found. is
one of the tests OF his belief and his
religion. Such man can be trusted
in whatever place to which his fellow
citizens may call him. You can vote
for George E. Colgate with clear
conscience and will never have cause
to regret your action.
