Of liquor
During the year and three-quar-
ters during which Mr. Finch has held
the office Of sheriff, he has cleaned
the county Of booze and gambling as
it had never before been cleaned in
history, and he enjoys the distinction
Of being the only sheriff who has ey-
en- made a thorough cleanup Of Ea-
toms "Ragtown.
The records show that more fines
have been collected on charges in
volying booze and rambling during
his administration than during the
combined administrations Of all the
sheriffs Of the county heretofore.
For his work in these lines Mr.
Finch has received high commrnda-
ton from the Denver authorities, the
chief Of police and other officials Of
that city having repeatedly made the
statement that Weld county is in
fact The only county in which they
have received full cooperation their
efforts to prevent the Illegal ship
ment Of liquor into Denver for boot
Logging purposes.
Beside the normal demands for law
enforcement which have fallen upon
this office during his incumbency
and the heavy work made by the
efforts Of bootleggers to evade the
prohibition law, Mr.. Finch has served
as chairman of the local draft board
for the southern division, a work re-
guiring time, energy, judgment and
close study, since the board was first
appointed. In this connection the
sherff's office has been called upon
to undertake a vast amount Of inyes-
tigaton Of alleged Stacker cases, Sc
ditious acts and utteEances. and has
coped with all these conditions in
such manner that the county has
not had a single lynching or riot, a
record Of which the entire county is
proud.
The sheriff has never been too tired
or the night too cold for him to
answer any call for his services, and
in fulfilling the manifold demands,
three automobiles. new when Mr.
Finch took office two years ago, have
been worn out, affording an interest
ing index to the activity which has
characterized his administration.
All this has been accomplished &c
onomicaIly. The sheriff has the same
number Of officers with which he be-
gan operations. two years ago, and
even during the strenuous times be-
fore the coming Of the constabulary
when sheriff and officers worked day
The Raymer enterprise., 1918-10-24

and night and slept only occasionally
as an opportunity afforded, the num-
ber Of men on the payroll remained
the same.
No other official has given closer
study to the work OF the draft board
and il can be said with confidence
that few draft board officials any
where are as fully conversant with
the requirements OF the draft regula-
tons and none more active in their
enforcement than Mr.. Finch has
been in his capacity as chairman. In
view of the probability that most of
the men now registered must be class
flied and indueted into service the
value Of Mr.. Finch's experience and
the good judgment he has constant
~ exhibited in important draft de-
cigi0ns can hardly be estimated, but
the desirability Of such qualities be-
ing constantly available is manifest
to the most casual observer.
On the whole the record Of the pre-
sent sheriff has been such as 10 in
spire the fullest confidence in all who
believe in law enforcement and cffici-
ency in public office. There has been
nothing Of the brass band policy about
his administration has been too
busy fulfilling his oath of office to
press agent his eEploits-aud he has
performed his duties without favor
and without partially for the political
religious or other affiliations Of those
upon whom he has been required to
execute the law.
The Democratic party has made no
mistake in its unanimous choice Of
Mr.. Finch to be one Of its standard
bearers, and if he is reelected Weld
county can be certain that the funds
and the men at the command of the
sheriff will be used to make and keep
the county safe for all honest men
throughout his ineumbency.

1900 CUBIC FEET OF GONFSCATED BOOZE N STORAGE

Sheriff c. A. Finch Of Weld county
has made, during his less than two
years in Office, a record which in
many respects is unique, not only in
Weld county, but in the entire state
From a financial point Of view his
administration has been remarkably
successful. 1t has yielded in rev
enue to the county, in the way of
total earnings, fines assessed and paid
through justice, county and district
