SIS there any reason in the world
why Republican and agricultural
county should be represented in the
state senate by Democratic bank
er? That condition exists in this
county through the suffrage of Re-
publican voters and farmers"
There are various ways of Farm
ing the Farmer" The time has long
since passed that the farmer demands
ct the hands of our legislative bodies
special privileges or special enact
ments. He stands today, shoulder
to shoulder, the equal in intelligence
of any class of our citizens. All
he asks is square deal. He is not
asking for any official built to order
for his special benefit. He is no
longer represented with a wisp of
hay in his mouth, his pants suspend
ed by one suspender held by one
button, the legs of which are stuff
ed into a pair of cowhide boots.
He is not deceived by the camouflage
of Farmer Candidate" He ana
Lies the fitness of the candidate for
the position he seeks and says, as
his vision broad enough to grasp
the needs of the diversified inter
ests of our county and state" And
when they find that man, the farmer
the merchant, the miner, the banker
and the labprer, says, "Thou art the
man." Now this is answer No. to
the Republican seeking knowledge,
We admit the candidate opposing

land owner. Henry Ford of oliver"
fame is the owner of 5000 acres of
land. If we consider the net income
of Henry for the year 1919 viz:
SO million dollars, we conclude he
spent every minute of 365 1-2 days
of that year farming" not only the
farmer" but every other class I'M
der Gods blue canopy. Of course
Henry reduced the price of flivers
and Rockefeller raised the price of
gasoline. So you see the public
can fliver merrily along and continue
to "pay the freight" This Demo
cratic Banker" was elected by the
votes of the diversified interests of
jefferson county, because his term
in the House demonstrated his
strength and fitness. He is man
of broad vision. He is not hide
bound. He was directly responsible
for the passage of the Bridge Bill
which would have saved the people
Of Jefferson county 100000 in the
next ten years. This measure was
vetoed by Carlson, the man who was,
at that time, rafting around in the
chair that had been filled by such
men as Shaffroth, Adams and
Thomas. He, more than any man
was responsible for the "Flat Tax"
Enactment. Although this was d.
rectly against his financial interests,
it meant some millions to the people
of Colorado. He was directly re-
sponsible for the passage of the
pheasant Bill" in the interest of the
farmer and gardner. He was direct
ly responsible for the purchase Of
the Hoyt property for the State
Industrial School, which means
thousands of dollars for the state
He, by we'll directed effort, secured
ample appropriation for all statet
institutions located in our county.
In short this Democratic Banker"
has "made good" and deserves and
will receive the support of thinking
citizens irrespective of party. He
is not only FARMERS candidate"
but he is peoples candidate. who
will by intelligent, well directed. eff
fort safeguard all interests. A can
didnte who can without the slightest
fear welcome the searchlight thrown
upon his record. A man into whose
hands sall interests will be safe.
blessed is the man, and beloved
of all the Gods who feareth no man,
and of whom no man is afraid" We
trust this will be sufficient answer
to the query propounded by the
Republican" He says, Church has
been n Farmer since the memory of
man, ri meth not parallel thereto"
We would think that he had attain
ed sufficient age e'er this to enable
him to see the "hand writing on the
wall" At all events he must serve
nj apprenticeship of Mt least four
years more before he can camouflngc
the farmer by the plea "A Farmer
Candidate" The people will retain
tho Democratic Banker" The man
whom the "lust for office does not
kill" The man whom "the spoi's
Of office cannot buy"
