Candidacy Of
Governor ShOup

The candidacy of Gov. Oliver n.
Shoup for reelection to the chief
magistracy of the state, recommends
itself to patriotic citizens of Colo
RADIO as eminently fitting and proper
and will undoubtedly have the stamp
of approval placed upon it by his en-
tire party following, as well as by
many Democrats, at the po Is a week
from today (Tuesday). Gov. Shoup's
administration of the high office to
which he was called two years ago
has been efficient, constructive and pro-
gressive, and has made him many
friends among people of all political
affiliations who will vote for his con-
tinuance in office. Unless all indi-
cations fail, Gov. Shoup is slated for
a triumph at the coming election such
as few Coloradoans standing for public
place have achieved in recent years.
Gov. Shoup's services to the state
as its executive have been character
ized by patriotism, poise, firmness and
good judgment. The faithful manner
of his discharge of the pubic duties
imposed on him have redeemed in the
excellence of their quality the utmost
anticipations of the most sanguine
and admiring of his friends. He has
we'll earned reelection and the peo-
pie of the state are not in the least
reluctant to grant his ambition in that
respect. Having won the confidence
and esteem of his fellow-citizens by
his honest, courageous, statesman
like and impartial management of
nuhIic affairs Gov ChOrp will recaiye
the Endorsement of the ballot as
tribute of the respect and admiration
he has inspired. Such a recognition
will be as graceful in its bestowal as
it is deserved in character.

duration. The books of his office

which covers the term he has served.
he has turned over to the county
treasurer, over and above all sx-
penses connected with the office. more
than $4,000 to be placed to the public
credit.
This is an chievement unattained by
any of his predecessors, and sets q
new mark in the history of official ef-
ficiency. He has carried on the work
of the office with promptness, econ
omy and success unparalleled in .ts
chronicles, and has endeavored at all
times to conduct its affairs in such a
way as to give the public maximum
of service at a minimum expense.
Careful. exact and polite in the dis
charge of his duties, Mr.. Seaman has
by his devotion to the office, tried TO
make his services OF real benefit and
value to all with whom he has been
brought in business contact. How
well he has succeeded is a matter Of
common knowledge.
Ee has been frank, fair and honest
in his dealings with the public. and
has applied 10 them a training and
saeacity that have been at once pop
ular and eficacious. Mr.. Seaman's
character and citizenship require
neither praise nor ecomium. To his
friends and acquaintances they speak
for themse yes and heighten his avail
ability for public honors. To say
that he Stands high in the esteem Of
his fellows and is equipped to meet in
manly efficient manner any trust or
responsibility TO which ne may be
called, is to exhaust honorable com
pliment- To say more would be a
meaningless use OF adjectives.
A vote for Mr. Seaman for county
clerk next Tuesday will be to indorse
man for that position who is in all
respects worthy of the ballot and the
confidence 1t represents. His cleo
tion wi. be an assurance of magnif.
cent administration of the duties of
the office ne is seeking at the hands
of the people.
A review of his administration is
neither pertinent nor possible in the
course of an article of this kind. and
will not be attempted. Suffice 1t TO
say that Jonathan Seaman has met
all of his official duties in manly.
efficient manner and there all honor
lies. We believe he will be elected
by most gratifying majority.

VASCO'S CLOTHES
 TORN FROM HIM

South Norwalk, Conn.,, July 13- Deputy Sheriff Lincoln Taylor of Stamford; Deputy Sheriff Benjamin J. Crawford of White Plains, N. Y, and Peter Vasco of this city, figured in three cornered battle on Rail- road avenue here this morning at 10:30 o'clock, when friends of Vasco attempted to rescue him from the officers who had placed him under arrest on a warrant issued by Gov ernor Holcomb. Vasco, who is want ed in New York state for wife aban- donment, was seized by the two sher- ifs and pulled towards Taylor's car. One of Vasco's friends grabbed the prisoner by the legs, and a tug of war commenced, the end arriving when Vasco's pants were pulled from his body.
 He hurried to Taylor's car and an attempt was made to start so that he could be taken to Stamford, from whence Sheriff Crawford was to rush him through" to New York state. The car refused to start Vascos' lawyers. Attorney Paul Connery, known as Connecticut's youngest rep resentative in the state legislature, arrived with a writ of habeas corpus issued by Judge John J. walsh of the Court of Common Pleas, thus blocking the attempted spiriting away of Vasco. A crowd of several hundred people had gathered by this time and vasco and the two sheriffs were taken to police headouarters where matters were strengthened out. A hearing will be held on the case Thursday morning.
