The Julesburg grit-advocate., 1918-07-25

This paper has espoused the candi-
dacy of Charles w. Waterman and see
no reason why it should change its
position. This is ont intended to cast
any reflection on the ability, the in
tegrity or the loyalty of his opponent,
but because of years of service to the
party; because of marker stat man
ship qualities; because his opposition
cOInes from an element in Denver that
has long caused political disgrace 10
that city, We say it is up to the PEG
pie to express their confidence in the
man who dared oppose and whip the
Denver Water Company in the inter
est of the consumers, by giving him
their votes at the primary polls. This
element is out to cruelty Waterman.
They must have a cloak of respectable
ity behind which to hide. They Sc
lected Lawrence Phipps, who however,
is not knowingly party to their
scheme. He is too big and 40 far
man to knowingly lend himself to
thing of that kind. 1t is not the
nomination of Phipps they seek SC
much as the CefeAt of Waterman, ard
if they secure the nomination of
Phipps their next move will be to doub,
le-cross him and re-elect John Shat
roth, which is their main object a,
this time. Waterman is to be nailed
to the cross; Phipps is to be made the
goat; Shafroth is to be returned t.
the United States Senate. That II
nutshell is the situation.

and
WHEREAS: All able-bodied per-

Ii our soldier boys deliberated as

Of our people at home hesitate over
doing theirs, the victory would be
doubtful. 1t is a sort of financial
cowardice to hesitate to put your
money in United States Government
securities, and TO deliberate over the
wisdom and patriotism of the invest
ment is to hesitate in supporting our
soldiers.
