cost Of taking are of the county's
For $z,2S9 above what was spent for
that purpose in 1920.
1t is reasons like the above which
influenced Mr.. Osborne's decision to
become a candidate. Like every 9TH
er rancher he has earned his money
through hard labor and learned the
value of a dollar. He feels hat the
taxpayers should get a proper return
for every cent expended and that the
people of Park county are in no posi-
ton to be more philantrophic than
their n%eighbors.
Mr.. Osborne served as commission
er when Park county was still a part
of Big Horn. He made a good record
and no charge of Partially, extrava-
gance or Indifference was ever brot
against him. He was born in wyom-
ing and from being a stockman as
well as a farmer knows the needs of
this section
The voters may be sure of lair
and considerate treatment and rest Sc
cure in the knowledge that their tax
money will be expended with good
judgment and economy If they elect
him.
We have for some time been at a
loss to understand the preternatural
dignity which has settled upon our
fellow townsman and county assessor,
Mr.. Ora Sonners. One of the things
| fn ruhioh MN have nnna - na1..
ly look forward around election time
was Mr.. Sonners' friendly greeting
and tender solicitude concerning our
health and general ~well-being- This
year we have waited vainly for one
of his warm, prediction h~and-clasps.
We were at a loss to understand it.
Now the news comes that Mr.. Son.
ners has definitely been promised the
position of postmaster and is no long
er at the mercy of the tickle voter
There's always a reason if you car
Just find it.

The fact is ~filtering into the minds
of hte people that Colorado has for
her governor a man who looms up
like a tall tamarac in a scrub-oak
country.
While other chief executives, in
Guiding the president, have been at
their wits end with strikes and every
known brand of labor trouble Oliver
II Shoup has kept order in a. state
which is one of the great mining and
railroad centres of the Union.
He has proved equal to every emer-
gency; he has stood each test as it
has come to him; he has handled diff
cult situations with a firmness and
wisdom which has been surprising
even to those who expected much #
him. He has grown and developed
in office until this solid. smiling, inn
perturbable citizen with his unfailing
! sense of humor, has come to be recog-
nized not only as the best governor
Colorado eve had but as the biggest
chief executive west of the Mississ-
ippi, or east of it, for that matter.
He has shown himself to be firm
fearless and impartial. He tells the
laboring man that his brother has the
the right to work unmolested and or
ders the employer to quit p~rofiteering.
He has won the confidence of all
classes by his courage and honesty.
He has the qualities which make
great presidents, and, while they are
-ombing the country for a successor
to Mr.. Harding In the event that he
is not a candidate for reelection, we
feel inspired to lift our little voice in
a squeak from Buffalo Bills Home
Town out here at the foot of the
Rockies, and ask what is the matter
with a western man for that high of.
