ARTHUR M. STONG, REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE FOR STATE AUDITOR

TN THIS issue the Colorado States.
man takes great pleasure in endors
ing the candidacy OF Arthur Nj
Stong, of Alamosa, colo, for the office
OF State Auditor on the Republican
ticket, and recommend to our suDscrlD-
ers and readers that every effort be
made to secure his election on Novem-
ber 5th next.
Having a personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Stong extending over per
lod of several years, we have just
reason to believe that the Republican
party has made a wise selection IN
placing man of such wide experience
and capability on their ticket, and
when elected which we have reason
to believe he will be, the state will be
represented in the auditors office by
one of the most capable officials that
has occupied that office for years.
Politically, he has been identified
with the Republican party for many
years, and has taken an active inter
est in the welfare of the party.
For a long period of years with the
Associated Press, later in the railroad
dispatcher's office, and in late years
lin commercial pursuits and account
ing.
An American by inheritance, as his
family dates back almost two hundred
years as citizens of the United States,
and long before the Revolutionary
war, in which his forefathers partici.
pated. He is a supporter of all war
measures that will bring final triumph,
by victory and not by compromise, to
our forces in the cause OF world lib
erty.
Advocating and supporting every
plank in the platform as adopted by
the Colorado Republican party, his
further principles are worthy of com
ment as personally declared:
First-Enactment of just and ade-
quate sanitary as well as physical
laws for protection of labor in every
department, and this to apply to wum-
en- as well as men.
Second-Better care and protection
of school children and higher wages
for teachers, so that proficient and
satisfactory instructors for every dis
trict in the state can be secured.
Third-Approves of the national suf
frage amendment.
Fourth-Better highways, and that
the state and federal governments
should cooperate to bring about such
results.
Fifth - Commercial organizations
and clubs to boost for a GREATER
COLORADO.
Efficiency in the conduct OF
public as well as private enterprises
He believes that all enlisted men re-
turning from service following the
winning of the war" should be given
title to certain agreed acreage of pub
lie lands and financial assistance from
the Federal government to improve
and cultivate same.
The office of State Auditor. which
commands the responsibility of guard
over our state finances, is one of the
r,ost important officials in the state,

pert accountants we have reason to
