behind the movement Of certain in
dividuals, who come along Jeffer-
son county's highways and tear down
all Of VIM. E. Sweets pictures on the
telephone poles and substitute the
pictures Of BENJAMIN Griffith. This
seems to US as . dirty. sneaking''

REASONS FOR VOTING THE
DEMOCRATIC COUNTY TICK.
EFT THIS YEAR

BENJAMIN Griffith said in his COM
paign in 1914:
1.-THE Republican party has been
and Is now-the party Of special
privileges in Colorado, and is draw
ing it, compaign sustenance from
the great corporate and public utility
interests Of this State."
This statement was true At the
time II was made and everyone
knows that It Is true today. 1.-THE
great coal companies Of the State
have subscribed $4,000 to the Re-
publican compai9n fund.)
The Republican party has been in
power in this county continuously
with the exception Of the years
1909 and 1910) for more than thirty
Year,, and from the very nature OF
things, has become careless Of the
peoples interests. It has become
boastful and arrogant, drunk with
power, and 10 sure Of the election OF
it, candidates that there II no e.
fort made to select the best persons
but the selection II left to one man,
who chooses the candidates not for
their fitness for office. but solely to
boost his political fortunes. Every
one Of the candidates on the Re-
prblican ticket h bound TO take his
orders from the man who "allowed"
him to get on tie ticket. Why not
vote for . chsnGsf It certainly
cannot be any worse. and the chances
are that new people. new blood in
the county offices viii be all for the
better; that they will be more likely
t. give better service and endeavor
r. reduce the burden Of taxation.
The Democratic candidates are all
to the reduction Of taxation
and to strict economy In County af-
fairs; the Republican,. are pledged to
nothing. They promise nothing and
II you vote for them you will get
nothing but the same old record OF
high taxation and extravaganza that
has raised taxes more than sixty per
cent in four years.
Women Of jefferson County; The
Democratic party have given you the
first chance to vote for n woman for
ons of the most important offices in
The county; that Of County Clerk and
Recorder. Why not show your APP
probation by all voting for Miss
Laura G. Manly, and make II unan-
|mous.
Farmers Of Jefferson county: how
DC you like tire Republican policies Of
you 30 cents per bushel
for your wheat and 30 cents for your
potatoes? Why II II you have to
pay more for bran to feed your
stock than Won ret for your wheat
nj the mill? Ask some Of the VI
Wan sspd'dntes who are travelling
over the County lat the County's cx-
pense) to explain these things in this
lay Of Republican "prosperity."

An influential Republican farmer
seeing some callouses on the hands
If William Bratton, Democratic can
didate for Commissioner. said to
some Of his friends, who were also
Republicans, that Bratton was de-
serving Of their votes inasmuch ~
he is farmer and 4 worker. This
gentleman is unquestionable right,
inasmuch As "Bill" got those cal
louses digging "spuds" on his ranch
near Evergreen.

ment to induce you to vote the

years ago. Note the increase, and
then remember who is responsible
for this difference.

We wonder why II Is that Boss"
Vivian can control the Republican
PARTY in this county when he has lost
cut state and nationally. Evidently
his principles Of party management
are all wrong when compared with

publican leaders. How much longer

English Rider Gaining
 Fame By Work Here

One of the jockeys whose consist
 ent saddle work has featured racing at
 the New Orlans track this winter Is
 A. Wilson, who has ridden upwards of 6 winners since he scored his first victory at Mobile one year ago. Six teen of these victories have been scored i'll the last couple of weeks at the fair grounds.
 Wilson is native of Birmingham, Eng, and is IS years old. His family now resides in Canada and he plans to return to the dominion at the conclu- sion of the winter season here. While riding in Kentucky last year, Wilson had four falls within a brief period, but none of them ever les sened his courage or his gameness. In one of the accidents-when he fell with the horse Randall-he was un- conscious 48 hours, but three days after he left the hospital he rode again and brought his horse home to victory.
 There are many who regard Wilson as the best of the young riders there, not even excepting some of the real
 stars Wilson has no such choice
 mounts as generally fall to the lot of
 some of the other leadnig apprentices,
 but when the day Is done the young Englishman usually has as good rec
 ord as any of the riders

Fadeaway Is Used By
 Only Few TWirlers

Carl Mays says there are two fade away pitchers in the American league.
 Dick Kerr of Chicago is one, Sam Jones now of New York, is the other.
 There's a good deal of misapprehen- sion about what the fadeaway-made famous and most skilfully used, if not discovered, by Christy Mathewson- really is. Some pitchers think the or dinary down and out-breaking curve is a fadeaway. It isn't-not by jug full.
 The fadeaway as pitched by Matty and this description came from Matty's own lips-was thrown with a fast ball motion at moderate pace and to a right-handed batter broke down and in. It was not mere ball with hop or shoot, for 1t wasn't fast enough for that, and it was a distinct ball of it's own.
 That is the kind of fadeaway Jones uses, the real kind, Mays says, and that Kerr throws, except that Kerr's would break in to left-hand- ed batter. Kerr breaks 1t in to left handler like righthander's curve breaks at a right-handed batter

BOSTON WILL NOT

Bay State Commission Opposes Pro-

Boston, March 1o.-If Harry Fra zee's offer of $35o,ooo to Jack Demp- sey for bout with Harry Wills Is accepted the battle will not be held at Fenway Park, members of the state boxing commission said. The owner of the Boston Red Sox mentioned either the American Leaguers home grounds or Boyle's thirty acres in Jersey City as sites for the proposed match.
 Eugene Buckley, chairman of the commission, was quoted as saying that such bout would hurt local boxing.
 "The attitude of the commissioners from the start has been not to allow such bouts," said MT. Buckley, "and l know the commissioners have not changed from that stand. The pro- motors want to hold the bout for the money they would get out of it, while the commissioners are against 1t for the sake of the sport here"

Huggins Spots
 Two Good
 Rookie Pitchers

New Orleans. - The Mite Manager was i'll a contenp1ative mood as he sat in the grandstand at Heinenann Park, New Orleans. There, now,' he mur- mured, "see that big boy Culp. Looks like he might be pitcher some day. Plenty of size, moves about like Howard Ehmke, only more so This boy is a real underhand pitcher, which is a good way to pitch if you really have the stuff, Now there's Jolley, looks like Sherry Smith whole lot, has a good free mo- ton for lefthander, and is fine big strapping lad.
 But, shucks, I'm through raving about ball players, they disappoint you so often. They may look good, but I want to see their fast one and their curve when I call for it. And control, too, that's the most important. Look at Jones out there, he has sling shot motion, the ball is on top of you before you know he has thrown it. Tough to hit"

Ball Players Get Dimes
 Posing as Opera Stars

Lou Barbour, travelling secretary of
 the White Sox, was a ball player him self in the long ago, and had a chance to accompany the Hose and Giants on their trip around the world. Lou was with party of transformers in Texas one fall and, after playnig a game, caught an early train for Houston. They paused about an hour at a small town which was a junction point. As usual, many of the citizens of
 the place came down to see the trains come in, and there was quite gath ering on the station platform. As so often hapuens, the ball players start ed a song just to pass the minutes, and while their harmony was nothing to brag about it wasn't so terribly bad.
 At the end of the refrain, one of the loiterers came up and said, Be you fellows a opery troupe?"
 "Yes," replied one of the players. "Ne've had long run of bad luck and are trying to pick up enough money to take us to the next town" He doffed his hat and passed 1t around, gathering a collection of nick els and thin dimes. Late that night the money was spent in an up-to-date candy store on the usual ice cream sodas.
