DEMOCRATIC, PREDICTS
CHAIRMAN PALMER

A final prediction survey seems
to indicate that the Democratic ticket
is "sittin' pretty, according to County
Chairman +. G. Palmer. Practically
all the candidates seem to have cinch
at this time, and in, only unc or two
cases will the election be even inter-
estingly close.
Sweet will carry the county with at
least 400, perhaps 600 votes, says
Palmer, and will undoubtedly carry the
rest Of the state Democratic ticket
with him. The sure thing operators in
Denver seem to have received suffi-
cient dope on Sweet to place a number
of big bets in his favor, both on carry
ing the city and the state. Conserva-
tive estimates are placing Sweets ma
jority at around 10000, but "politics
is politics., and you never can tell til
the votes are counted. A clean sweep
for Democratic state and county
ticket is Mr.. Palmer's prediction.

A. N. THOMAS knows the tax proposition
as no man in Western Colorado knows it.
Furthermore, he knows Gunnison county as
no man in Gunnison county knows it. He
served for years as our county assessor,
thoroughly satisfying every property owner
in the county, regardless Of party affilia-
tions. He Withdrew from the political arena
two years ago Of his own accord, but is now
back in the ring, and the county has never
before needed man Of the caliber Of Alex
Thomas in the county assessors office as it
does now. His mature judgment and detail
ed knowledge Of county and state tax affairs
make him an invaluable unit in the economi-
cal administration Of the county affairs.

SWEET HAS A Bis
LEAD F0R GOVERNOR

The Republicans are so badly scared
ON the state contest that they can
hardly keep up the bluff. There seems
to be little doubt that William e.
Sweet will be the next governor Of
Colorado and win on walk.
The campaign Of falsehOods and viii
lification on which the G. O. p. de-
pended to stampede the voters to Grif-
fifth has reacted. The workingmen of
Colorado are solidly behind him. Most
Of the farmers believe in his program.
With very few exceptions, the old line
Democrats are standing firm and his
election seems certain.

COWBOYS DEFEAT SALIDA
BY HUGE SCORE SATURDAY

The Salida High school team played
the Gunnison Cowboys on the local
gridiron last Saturday and got the
short end, or rather, the minus end of
what appears TO be one of, the largest
scores ever run up on the Western
slope, 1i3 to o.
The Salida boys had been out OF the
game for three years, and prior %
their last Saturdays game with GGn-
nison, had practiced but one day. Only
one man on the team had ever played
football before, and a number of them
had never even witnessed game. The
Cowboys on the other hand have a
better team than that of last year,

are generally the scourge Of the rural peace
pfficer's life. Pat has neat way of
alighting gently on would-be offender like
so many tons of brick, and has built up
reputation that keeps said offenders as far
away from Gunnison county as they can
comfortably get. An ounce of prevention is
worth a pound of cure, and we earnestly
recommend Pat on both prevention and cure.
J. II. ROBINSON, our present county sur
veyor, would undoubtedly leave Gunnison
county in bad hole should he take it into
his head to leave the county, die or refuse to
run for county engineer. He is the one and
only man in the county who has the proper
combination Of technical training and knowl-
edge Of local conditions to fit him for the
JOB, and should by all means be returned
this election.

Gunnison county stands among the leading

commissioner he, has gained an amazing
