BAIRD AND CONGRESS

report has been circulated by
Democratic papers that Henry ]. Baird
is desired by the stand pat" element
of the Republicans in this district for
congress, and further that Mr.. Baird
is not wanted by the 'progressives."
We would like to enlighten the Demo-
cratic brethen of the district that
there will be no "stand-pat" or pro
gressive" element this year but it
will be solid Republican party for
Americanism and American institu-
tions.
Mr.. Baird Is not a candidate and de-
clares that he does not seek the nomi-
nation.
Mr. Baird was twice n candidate.
Some of the issues in his 1916 cam
paign, namely the Adamson law, and
the Mexican situation were aggres-
sively attacked by him as a most dan
,gerous trouble breeder; the Adamson
law then pending in congress and sup
ported by his opponent and the Demo
cratic party was characterized by Mr..
Baird as law primarily to catch the
railroad mans vote; unprincipled

equal rights" to all classes of labor.
He fought the porkbarrel scheme Of
federal graft. There was no hesitancy
upon his part in declaring where he
stood on prohibition, at that time q
leading issue. He did not speak for
prohibition in dry territory and dodge
the issue where sentiment in the dis
trict was adverse to prohibition. Baird
had the same issues all over the dis
trict. He did not promise a public
building or pension to this or that
locality to obtain votes He stood for
budget system OF expenditures, and
an economical administration for the
people of the entire country. Baird's
program at that time did not appeal to
the voter for the reason that his oppo-
ment for congress had his pocket full
of promises, enough for Tom, Dick,
Harry and Aunt Mollie and Cousin
Jane; and coupled with the campaign
was the grand old slogan OF someone
who said, "He Kept Us Out of War"
There is considerable speculation
among some who will be the candidate
put up against Mr.. Taylor now that
John Ramer will manage the cam
paign. You may rest assured that the
candidate will be n thorough Ameri-
can, and will meet the issues pending
before the country squarely without
fear or favor.

BIG MAN FOR BIG JOB

The Democratic Delta Tribune. in
its announcement that John g. Ramer
of Hotchkiss had been elected chair
man OF the Republican congressional
committee for the Fourth district.
stated that he would find he had a
mighty big job" on his hands to do
anything in this district against the
present incumbent, and the Democra-
tic Grand Junction Sentinel, proved
an able second to the idea expressed
by the Tribune.
Since it Will be a mighty big job"
to root out the present congressman,
the Republicans decided to select a
mighty big man to do the work and
they did it when they choose Johnny
Ramer.
He is capable of handling big job
that's the kind he eats up. He was
found that kind of a man in the office
of secretary of state. He knows about
everybody in the state, has an ac-
quaintance second to none.
And when he throws his force into
the campaign of organization and has
back of him a rejuvenated party,
which he is bound to have, his keen
organization ability will reap a splen-
did harvest next November.
We are glad Mr.. Ramer has a big
job on his hands-it will test his
'mettle-and he has plenty of it.
