LEE BURGESS is COMMENDED.
a Democratic Attorney Pays Tribute
to the Work and Record of District
Attorney Who Is Candidate for Re-
Election,

To the Editor OF The Daily Sentinel:
| ask the indulgence of brief
space in your paper for few words
on behalf of the candidacy of Lee
w. Burgess to succeed himself as dis.
trict attorney.
The office of district attorney is in
no sense political office. It offers
to the incumbent no opportunity to
practice or exploit his political or
party views; consequently through
a member of the democratic party, I
have no hesitation in supporting and
recommending the support of Mr..
Burgess for reelection. He has held
this office for two years. during
which time he has given indisputable
proofs of his abilities and of his quail
ifications for the important and try
ing duties of public prosecutor hqy
ing district of seven large counties
In the course of his service It has
happened that he has been called up
on, to prosecute an unusual number
of murder cases, and in no instance
was the accused acquitted. In the
trials of these cases, as elso in other
cases. he has had opposed to him
many of the ablest criminal LAWYERS
in this district. and his success in
the verdicts is no moan proof of the
possession Of hie' order of oh'I;+r
as criminal prosecutor. There has
never been any sureestior trot NJ,
Burgess has been remiss in his du
ties, nor any question 49,
quor laws. as we'll as all others haze
received at his hands the fullest nos
sible enforcement. No shadow of sue
picion as tn his integrity and incor
ruptibility in the administration of
his office has ever rested upon Nv
Burgess. He is known in Mesa coun
ty to be an honest and devoted nur,,ic
servant and no good reason can he
advanced why he should not be re
elected
As an attorney at the bar, who has
had an opportunity to observe and
appraise Mr.. Burgess's work as Dis
trict attorney, I am eled TO urge hi
endorsement at the polls.

Swan Linman for Commissioner.
BY ReY. Valentino Deich.


In selecting man for county COM
missioner, the voters should make
sure they are not experimenting. To
make a good commissioner man
should not only be successful man
in his own private business, but
should also be a man well acquainted
with the history and resources of his
county. by long residence in the same.
The Republican Party is offering
to Delta County Just such d man in
the person of Swan Linman Of Craw-
ford Mr.. Linman has not only been
a resident Of Delta County for thirty
five years but as a citizen, he Eas
been a factor in bringing about many
progressive measures in his local com
munity.
While a member of the Crawford
School Board he was untiring in his
efforts in securing the present splen-
did building which would be credit
to many larger communities. He fav-
ors paying adequate salaries to ade-
uuately trained teachers, that our chill
dren may have the very best educa
tional advantage. But his keen busi-
ness sense will not permit him~to
favor paying good money for poor SER
vice.
A man can be judged by the posi-
tions of trust he holds in his own
community after long years of resi-
dence therein. Mr.. Linman has for
The Delta independent., 1920-10-29

many years been the President of The
Crawford Clipper Ditch Company
and to the entire satisfaction of the
many ranchers whose lands are wat
cred by that system. Then when The
people of Crawford and vicinity began
to talk seriously of flour mill and
electric light plant, Mr.. Linman was
one of the first to assist in bringing
the dream out of the clouds by lend
ing his hearty support to the organi-
zation of one of the finest co-opera-
tive enterprises on the Western Slope.
Mr.. Linman was elected Vice-Presi-
dent of the Company, in which cap
acity he has served so as to merit
and secure the full confidence of tie
nearly two hundred stock holders.
Mr. Linman is a loyal member Of the
Farmers Union, and is interested in
every movement for the betterm mt
of farm conditions.
When he Is elected Commissioner,
those who know him, know, and those
who do not know him can be assured
he will give to the office the same
diligent attention that has made him
the leader in his owl community that
he is. and that has made him one of
the outstanding successful business
men and ranchers Of Delta County.
