The Lamar register., 1922-08-09

Prowers County have directed and con-
Quoted the business affairs of the coun-
ty, whereby, with greater efficiency,
county levies have been lowered.
I'VE deplore the lack of diplomacy
and fairness of the Democratic Caun-
ty Assembly in calling attention to
the necessity of registering warrants
against county funds when the neces-
sity for so registering such warrants
was due solely to the failure of the
Democratic County Clerk (who was i'll
and not in attendance at the recent
Democratic County Assembly to make
the necessary reports TO secure state
funds which are available in sufficient
amount to liquidate all claims.
ave commend ell Republican County
officials for the capable and business
like administration of their several of
fices.
I'VE refer to with pleasure and par
donable pride, and endorse and COM
mend the achievements of w. b. Cor
don, our Representative in the State
Legislature, and heartily endorse his
candidacy for the office of Attorney
General, for which position he is so
ominently qualified"
Chairman Hillyer was then called on
for speech and made one of his
usual clear and interesting statements
of the issues of the campaign. He
spoke eloqucntly of the comparison of
the conditions in Colorado with firm
and vigorous state administration
maintaining law and order, and in
other states. where murder, fire and
dynamite had done their work of de-
struction and misery. He compared
the rapid work Of reconstruction under
the Harding national administration
with the slow process following pre-
ceding wars and with the snail-likc
progress of European states.
A motion was then made by Judge
C. c. Goodale that the assembly en-
dorse the candidacy of Hon. w. b.
Gordon for attorney general Of Colo
RADIO and accord him the honor of
naming the delegates to the state as
sembly. A motion was then carried
that the chair name a committee of
