All of the above candidates
stand on the following section OF
the Democratic platform. Sec
ton 10 OF this section reads as
follows:
1--WE are in favor OF the strict
est economy in the management
of countv affairs, and believe that
every official and employee of
the county should devote their
whole time to the service of the
people when in office. and every
dollar paid out as wages and sal
aries should be earned. They
opboscd TO the appointment and
pavment Of deputies or other
offices Of the county who do not
actually earn the morev paid
them. and in this connection they
call attention to the fact that the
Under Sheriff Of this corntv re-
ccivcs salary of $500 per wear
for which he renders no service
whatever to the taxpaver."
OF all OF the candidates up for
office in Jefferson county GER
tainIv none of them possess
stronger qualifications for the
nosition sought than does Viii
liam Bratton Of tverereen. Dem
ocratic candidate for Commits
s;oncr in the Third District Mr..
Bratton has lived in that section
of the county for the past eleven
wears and durino all Of that time
has been one Of it's most pro-
pressiva citizens. Fc has been
IN active member of the Ieffer-
son County Farm Bureau as well
as serving as Master for the
Evergreen Grange. In both OF
trese positions he learned Of the
MANY needs OF the farmers in
that locality and is fully prepared
TO help them in every way pos
siblc as commissioner.
AS all Of YOU know a commits
sioncr must have a knowledge OF
roads and roadbui! ding If he is to
render satisfactory service to the
people of his district. Mr.. Brat
ton served as a road overseer
under Reconnaissance Cruise.
In this capacity he earned the
reputation of being the best road
ovcrscer the mountain territory
of the county has ever had. What
more could be said about his fit
ness for the position that he
sccksY Bv reason OF his past
performance many Republicans
in that section OF the county are
going to vote for him.
Furthermore Mr. Brattor has
made the pledge that he will not
collect anv mileage from the
citizens OF Jefferson county.
This fact alone should cntitlc him
Il the support of every citizen
and tNpavcr in the county.
The voters OF Jefferson county
will make no mistake when they
east their ballot for William
Bratton
We wonder il 7. A. Hogan, the
candidate OF the Republican par
tv for assessor. feels he is doing
the square thing for the taxpay-
crs Of the county when he cam
paigns at their expense. This
action on his part we claim is
"prcty soft" To our knowledge
he has been doing this sort of
thing for the last six months at
least. How about it. Mr.. Hogan,
We will bet that the "boss" said
It was O. X.
Mr.. Voter. some time when
you have the time We wish you
would journey to tho corner of
Colfax and Sheridan boulevard
and take a look at the Silver
State "Cigar Store" After you
have looked the building over de-
eide for yourself how many men
would he required to arrest all Of
the occupants therein. Next
week we will tell YOU how manv
Sheriff Kerr used. You will
find that that he used consider
able more than needed.
