DON'T BE DECEIVED

In the coming election there will
be two men by the name of Col
Inns on the ticket, running for
governor. w. p. Collins name
will appear as a candidate on the
Socialist and the Farmer-Labor
ticket. His vote will probably be
light and he has no chance of an
election. The real fight is be-
tween James M. Collins and Oliv-
er H. Shoup. James M. Collins
name will appear on the ballot as
a candidate of the Democratic
party. He is progressive Demo-
crat, he is very friendly to labor,
is farmer by occupation, and is
opposed to all private monopoly
or special privilege of any kind.
He is also in favor of legislation
that will eliminate the commits
sion houses that have built up a
monopoly in handling the prod
ucts of the farm and are the dir
ect cause of the present high cost
of living. James M. Collins will
in all probability be the next gov
ernor of Colorado, but the voter
should remember that in order to
get the full benefit that we should
derive from his election it is nee
essary that legislature be elect
ed that will work in harmony with
him. Should Republican legis-
lature be elected they would en-
deavor to discredit him and thus
minimize the amount of good
which he could otherwise accom-
plish.
Other reasons why the voters
of Gilpin county should favor the
Democratic candidates for both
representative and senator is that
the Democratic platform favors
the placing of the smelters under
the Public Utilities Commission
and the Republican platform is
silent upon this point and prom
ises nothing. Also if the Repub-
licans are in control, the state
will be reapportioned and Gilpin
county will lose her representa-
tive.
The legislature also has the
power to create new counties
from portions Of other counties.
Should such a bill be introduced

SCHOOL NOTES

The record of the G. G. H. S. in
attendance surpasses that of any
other school in the state. There
have been no tardies and only
three days absence in the past
two months.
The dread week for examina-
tions has again arrived and we
are expecting to have them sprung
on us at any time.
A music test was given on
Tuesday and the grades were
much better than those of the pre-
ceding tests.
The school was visited by Mrs
Fitz Patrick and Mrs. Seright on
Monday afternoon.
Ethel Sandell was absent on
Tuesday afternoon on account of
illness.

county, being elected in 1908 by
about 800 votes and again in 1912
by nearly 4,500 votes. His record
in the state senate is familiar to
all who recall the fight of the So
called Platform" Democrats to
redeem the party's pledges. His
record for vigorous, intelligent
and conscientious work in the in
terest of the people has never
been excelled by a Colorado sena-
tor. At Washington his efforts
will be as untiring and he will get
results. Because of his knowledge
of the needs of the district, his
sympathy with the ambitions of
the people, his strong personality
and his unusual capacity for work,
Mr.. Burris should be elected. He
will early become one of the
strong men of the lower house and
will put this district on the map.

McGintie Brings Up $1,000

VIM. S. McGintie, candidate for
district attorney, was in Central
City the latter part of last week,
looking after his campaign. In
cidentally he brought with him,
for the county, the sum of one
thousand dollars which he had
collected from forfeited bonds.
Mr.. McGintie has his office at
Littleton in the county court house
and saves the district one thous-
and dollars per annum, as that is
about the amount it would cost
the district to maintain an Office
in the city of Denver if his op-
ponent was elected who is Den
yer lawyer and moved his family
over in jefferson county so that
he could qualify to run for the
office. McGintie has lived in the
district for years. His name ap-
pears twice on the ticket, once
for the full term and once to fill
vacancy. The voter should not
forget to put an X opposite his
name in both places.

WHY ELECT BURRIS?
Democratic Candidate for Con-
gress Is Splendidly Equipped
for Place.

But few men, if any, in Color
ado are more familiar with condi-
tions in the % counties compris-
ing the Third Congressional Dis
trict than Samuel j. Burris, Dem
ocratic candidate for Congress.
Mr.. Burris has lived in the dis
trict for more than 80 years, and
has engaged in business enter
prises in various parts of the dis
trict. AT present he is the owner
of several irrigated and dry farms
in the Arkansas Valley as we'll as
being interested in mining and
stock-growing in other parts of
the district. During his long resi-
dence in Pueblo, his. home city,
Mr.. Burroughs has been recogniz-

men, and as citizen of the best
character.
Mr.. Burris served eight years

THE GREAT ISSUE

Enough emphasis has not been
placed upon one feature of the
League of Nations which viii
have an important bearing upon
the financial condition of the
world. Many of the nations which
were engaged in the recent war
are virtually bankrupt. Not only
are they confronted with enor-
nous debts, but their man power
for upbuilding their wasted re-
sources and the creation of new
wealth has been greatly decreas-
ed. 1t will require the joint eff
forts of all the wealth and labor
of these countries to meet present
conditions and restore to the
whole world the prosperity of
ante-war days. To impose upon
the world another grievous bur-
den would be suicidal.
Without the League of Nations,
in addition to paying off the large
indebtedness incurred, we must
also take up the burden of pre-
pairing for future wars. We must
build large navies, we must erect
coast defenses, we must maintain
large standing armies, we must
have universal military training
in short we must prepare for war
upon an extensive scale. We would
be compelled to do this for self
defense. To do this would entail
the loss of billions of treasure
would impose burdensome taxa
tion-would draw upon our de-
pleted man power which is needed
for the work of reconstruction and
the creation of new wealth.
The League of Nations instead
of increasing would cut down
standing armies, would abolish
universal military training, would
limit the extent of our navy and
would leave us free to use all our
man power and wealth to advance
peaceful pursuits. To improve
our schools, build our roads and
reclaim our waste and arid des-
erts. Adopting the League of Ma
tions is a declaration for peace
and prosperity-rejecting it is a
return to the old error of war,
waste, famine and bloodshed.

AFTER MORE GRAFT

Anti-Jag Finch is busy holding
a club over candidates for the leg
islature, with the purpose in view
of providing for himself and few
mole choice grafters, nice fat
job at the expense of the state. He
has sent out letters to every legis-
lative candidate asking whether
they favored the prohibition law
and if elected would they vote for
an adequate appropriation for
its enforcement. The more ex-
perienced and better informed
candidates have usually disre-
garded these letters, but new and
inexperienced candidates who did
not understand the questions and
failed to see the graft but saw an
opportunity to get few votes, an
swered the inquiries of Mr.. Finch
in manner that was satisfactory
to him.
In response to these questions,
w. E. Renshaw and Louis j. Car
ter, Republican candidates for
state senator and representative,
both replied that they favored the
law and would vote for an ade-
quate appropriation for its en-
forcement. Senator Fincher and
w. o. Jenkins. Democratic candi-
dates for the same Offices, saw
thru the graft and ignored the let
ters.
Prohibition is an established
fact and is the law of the land and
should be enforced in the same
manner as other laws are enforc-
ed. The state is already over
burdened with the expense of en-
forcing these laws. We have our
judges, our district attorneys,
our sheriffs, our juries, our Unit
ed States marshals, to say moth
ing of their clerical forces and
deputies, and innumerable other
expenses. Why should we add to
this vast expense the cost of an
other commission and a big ap-
preparation for the enforcement
of this especial law? 1t would be
just as reasonable to create a
commission for the enforcement of
the law against larceny or bur-
glary or murder or any one of the
multitude of our penal laws and
give each one big appropriation.
We have ample provisions now
for the enforcement of all our
laws and no appropriations from
the state are needed for that pur-
pose. 1t would be needless and
endless expense in the form of

COUNTY OFFICERS

AS stated in a former article, in
a restricted sense, the county cleo
tion is fully as important as the
state or national. We cannot hope
for good county government
without we elect live, energetic
and efficient men of upright char
acter as officials. County govern
ment is county business and the
rules which govern in other lines
of business should prevail in con-
Quoting the county affairs.
A public official should have
both the capacity and the willing
ness to serve the public. He
should attend to the duties of his
office with the same fidelity he
would show if he was working for
a private corporation or individ-
ual. In last weeks issue we gave
you a brief outline of some of the
qualifications upon which the can
didates upon the Democratic ticket
base their claims for your support.
Our aim was to give you nothing
but facts with the expectation
that those facts would demon
strate that all of our candidates
were fully qualified to assume the
duties of the offices to which they
aspired and that their character
and reputation was such that they
could be depended upon to fulfil!
those duties. We gave this in
formation because we believed
the voters were entitled to know
.his. 1t is now up to them to make
the final decision and the verdict
they render will determine the
character of our county govern
ment for the. next two years.

CAMPAIGN BUNK

The Register-Call complains
bitterly that it does not have
monopoly of the county printing.
1t says that the Observer during
the last sixteen years has received
twenty thousand dollars from this
source. Like many other cam
paign statements the amount is
greatly overestimated. The great
er part of the so-called county
printing is not paid for by the
county but by the individual and
the larger part of that portion
which is paid for by the county is
printed in both papers. All legal
advertising, such as sheriff sales,
mortgage foreclosures, applica-
tions for tax deeds, all probate
notices, forfeiture notices, not
ices connected with obtaining pat
ents and many other forms of ad-
vertising too numerous to men
tion, are called county printing,
but is paid for by the individual.
Sometimes the various county
officials direct where this adver-
tising shall be done but quite of
ten the individual, or his attorney.
The rate for this advertising is
fixed by law and was fixed in nor
mai times before the high cost of
paper and other commodities had
scared to the skies. The result is
that the printer is only getting
about half what the work is worth.
He is in the same condition as the
producer of gold. The printer,
like the merchant, doctor, lawyer
or men of any other calling should
enter the field of competition and
base his claims for business upon
his own merits.
The Register further advises
the voters that they should vote
for Thomas Atkinson and Richard
|. Hughes for county commission
ers, not because they are any bet
ter, it admits that they are not.
The principal reason that it gives
as their claim for support is that
they would give what little adver-
tising they control to the Register
Call. Is that the paramount reas-
on why they support Harding?
Do they anticipate that in the ev-
ent of Harding's election, he
would appoint new land office of
ficials and a little more advertis-
ing would find it's way to their
columns? We sympathize with
the Register in it's efforts to OBJ
tain business. More business
would be acceptable to many of
the newspapers that are operat-
ing in the mining districts but
the Register cannot expect that
the national government and the
government of Gilpin county will
be run for the sole purpose of OBJ
tanning advertising for it's col
umns. And candidates running
for office should have other quail
fications than furnishing adver-
tising for it or any other news
paper.
