Democratic Candidates

The absorbing interest being taken
In the momentious happenings on
the various battle fronts In Europe
and Asia, and the Fourth Liberty
Loan campaign, has so eclipsed pol
itics that very little interest is being
taken In the latter. But we believe
that 1t is we'll to announce that We
will have general election on Tues
day November 9th. 1t is also proper,
In our opinion, to refer to the Dem
ocratic candidates and their qualifi-
cations.
First. 1t Is In order to note the Ma
tional candidates-senato and re-
preventative In Congress, for this dis
trict.
John F. shafroth is the only man
In Colorado, in recent years, who has
served two consecutive terms as gov
ernor Of the state. This fact attests
his popularity with the masses OF the
people. He received = strong endor.
sement at the hands Of Colorado vo-
ters when they sent him to the Unit
ed States Senate six years ago. He
has stood by the President In every
war measure, both before end since
this country entered the World War
and the people Of Colorado will again
show their confidence In him by re-
turning him to the Senate Novem-
Der 9th.
For the first time since Ed Taylor
was sent to congress- the Republicans
are putting up a bitter fight against
him. To run against Taylor this time
the Republicans have put up an able
and wealthy Grand Junction lawyer
the "Grand Old Party" always puts
Its faith In wealthy men when 1t
starts out to make . killing"
But wealth, mixed with = goodly
portion Of partissnship. will not cause
tho masses Of people TO forget Ed
Taylor and the good work he has
done for the Fourth district and the
state Of Colorado In general on elec-
tion day. We pedIct that when the
ballots are counted he will have TO-
600 Tor more) votes to the good. Vote
for Ed Taylor, the man who can and
does do things for you at Washing
ton.

COUNTY

For clerk and recorder, you will
notice Claude Wilson's name on the
ballot. You know what to do.
S. p. Wear is the Democratic can
didate for the important office OF
sheriff. He needs no introduction
In brief, it would be hard to find a
better man for Sheriff than Sam
Wear.
1t is a safe assertion that John
Shepherd is about one OF the most
popular men In the county. This
Ia II valuable asset in candi-
date for public office. But J.
W. c. Shepherd is equipped with a
more essential asset-that of thor
ough qualification to acceptably fill
the Office Of county treasurer.
John F. Hay, of Powell Park, is
Democratic Candidate for assessor.
In addition to being very well quail
fed to all the office, Mr.. Hay is one
of the earliest settlers In White River
valley. He Is well and favorably
known by all the old timers.
1t would have been hard to have
found n person better qualified for
the Office OF county superintendent
Of schools than Mrs. Goldie NJ. Steph-
enson. Az girl, Goldie Wilson WAS
raised and educated in this commun-
ity. She graduated from our Grade
School; then entered the Rio Blanco
High School. and In schedule time
graduate from that with honors; she
entered the University of Colorado,
and took the full four years collegiate
course. graduating witt, the degree
ofyA. r. Returning from the unt-
versity, she taught In the Meeker
school till her marriage. Coupled
with her marked ability, Mrs. Steph-
enson is quiet and unassuming. There
isn't any doubt as to her eminent
qualifications to hll the Office OF
county superintendent OF schools.
DR.. Farthing Is the Democratic
candidate for coroner. The doctor is
qualified and popular.

moRt important office in the county

THE WAR

of the shellfish (both at so cents) will
be required for the fritters, scant half
pound of cheese at SO cents a pound for
the au gratin dish and two dozen and a
half of oysters at Is cents q dozen for
the fricassee in the chatting dish served
for the Sunday night supper.
Apples, which sell at Is cents a quart
for the cooking variety, are used gener-
ously (these are cheaper when purchased
in larger Quantities). 1t is said that
there are over two hundred ways Of pre-
pairing apples, and now that they are the
cheapest and best fruit on the market
they should be used daily. Cooked with
few raisins or dates, they require but
little sugar, and honey, maple sugar or
syrup even corn syrup, may be used as
the sweetening medium
Further prices that will guide the
caterer when she goes to market" are as
follows: Butter, SO cents a pound cleo,
80 cents a pound; fresh mackerel, 80 TO
20 cents pound, and smoked beef tongue,
30 cents a pound.
4 two and half pound mackerel
should be sufficient for the following days
luncheon. Very small mackerel, with
many bones and much waste, sell as low
as 16 cents a pound, but the larger fish
at the higher price are the best buy.
In selecting the tongue purchase
small, compact one, rather thick through
the centre. This will give good, meaty
slices and there is not so much waste as
IN the long, thin ones, which are rarely
satisfactory when cooked. Soak the
tongue overnight as when cooking ham,
and simmer slowly the next morning,
adding q bay leaf, small onion stuck
with whole cloves one sliced carrot and
broken stick of cinnamon. These cooked
with the meat give it a particularly good
favor

a S a conservative measure the
n canape is worthy of consideration,
particularly in the large house
hold where leftovers are often difficult
to manage. A cup or two of vegetables
might furnish an ample made-over dish
where two or three are gathered to-
gether but would require expert manipu-
lation to satisfy the appetites of twice
that number.
The canape is usually thought of in
terms of elaborate entertainment, but
connection so easily prepared, so savory
and, moreover, so economical, deserves
greater everyday popularity. 1t is usu-
ally served as the introductory course,

form the main dish of luncheon or Sun
