That was splendid meeting of the
Republican county central committee
held at the court house last Friday
evening for the purpose of meeting
George Fl. Shaw of Fort Collins and
George A. Crowder of Denver, chair
man and secretary, respectively, of the
Republican state central committee,
WHO during the past few weeks have
toured the state by auto, visiting prac-
tlcally every county, learning of the
local needs Of the party, with view
of recommending course Of action
that will accomplish the greatest good
for the party and the people in gem
eral.
The first stop made by these gentle
men in Garfield county was at Rifle
last Tuesday when they met few
Republicans of that section, going in
the afternoon to Meeker where an in
teresting meeting and banquet had
been arranged for by the Republicans
of Rio Blanco county. After trip to
Craig, Steamboat, Hot Sulphur Springs
and Eagle, they motored down to Glen
wood Friday afternoon.
Chairman Ole Thorson called the
meeting to order and expressed the ap-
probation of himself and the Repubi-
cans of Garfield county in the interest
which the state organization is taking
in the country sections, as evidenced by
the visits Of these two officials in the
remotest districts Of the state. He
considered it good sign, and believed
the effect would be very wholesome
throughout the state, He then intro
duced State Chairman Shaw to the
audience.
Mr.. Shaw is man. of most pleasing
personality and he carrys message Of
interest and value to his hearers. His
remarks are free from abuse, and there
are no bombastic utterances and un-
reasonable statements such as too often
political addresses.
He said he and Mr.. Crowder were
touring the state to get slant on con-
ditions in the counties and before the
state assembly meets on the 9th Of
August they will have personally visit
ed every county with the possible ex.
ception of three. He said the state
organization 8 business was to work in
harmony with the county organization
and to represent it. Only through
that means could anything tangible be
accomplished.
The Bepubhcan party stands for
good citizenship. Good citizenship
should be free from partisanship. It
stands for homes, good schools and
orderly government. The people who
represent good citizenship are inter-
ested in higher type Of government.

A CREDITABLE BUILDING

The new office building of the Glen
wood Light & Water company is al
most completed, the finishing touches
being applied to the interior woodwork
this week. This is strictly modern
little office building, the interior fin
ish being in oak, and the arrangement
being ideal for facilitating the work
for which the building was constructed.

that his candidate did not fear God,

this guaranty of bravery would add
strength to his favorite, but the vote
indicated that it had the opposite ef-

sured the assembly that his candidate
was some sprinter, and said from the
enthusiasm present he was made to
wonder where in the pesky Repub-
licans would get their votes this fall.
Something of surprise to some of the
candidates came minute later when
Mrs. Lucie Fravert seconded Rusty s
nomination. A vote was taken with the
following result: Baxter Al, Pattison
21, Pugh 45.
For the office of county treasurer,
Judge Shumate, in very neat speech,
placed in nomination Chas. H. King,
and at once motion was made and
carried to the effect that Mr. King be
designated by acclamation.
In like manner P. W. Divilbiss
named Walter J. Frost Of West Glen
wood for county clerk and recorder,
and his designation was made by ac-
clamation.
The same procedure was had when
Chris Miller named R. w. McGuirk of
South Glenwood to succeed himself as
county assessor.
b. t. Napier, ,Jr., named Mrs. Gretta
Pottenger of South Glenwood to sue
ceed herself as county superintendent
of schools, and her designation was
also without opposition.
Q. b. King named w. H. Trumbor
of North Glenwood as his own success
sor in the office of county surveyor,
and this designation was made without
contest
For county coroner, Z. L. Hubbard
named DR.. G. A. Hopkins of South
Glenwood, but this honor did not go
uncontested, for after short pause
in the proceedings Dr. Lockard sug-
gested DR.. A. d. Hepler of New Castle,
and ballot resulted as follows: Hop

After the various precincts had des-
ignated their precinct officers and the

Manor Elisha of the Jerome hotel
of Aspen was also present and spoke to
the club in regard to the future Of
Aspen. He stated that Aspen was
slowly and surely coming back; that
nine mines were now working, and that
it would not be long until the "Laun-

Aspen and Glenwood as in former days.

Splendid Meeting Of County Central
Committee Held in G|enwood Springs
to Greet State Officers
HARMONY AMONG COUNTIES

He mentioned the regulation of the
packers and the cooperative marketing
for farmers, as well as the government
aid for road projects.
There is no unemployment in the
country at the present time of anyone
who wants work except the instance
where they are voluntarily off the job.
In Washington carpenters are today
getting $12 per day.
The Republican administration Is
carrying forward safe and definite
program looking toward permanent
prosperity
Speaking locally, Mr.. Shaw said
there was ample justification for the
present Republican state administra-
ton in the passage of the highway
bNl, for without exception, he has
found that everybody favors this law
and while the county commissioners
were nearly all against it at first, they
are now strongly supporting it. They
had travelled by auto thousands Of
miles over splendid highways, such
highway as the state has never before
had. There is the utmost cooperation
and the people are feeling now they
are getting dollars worth of work
for dollar spent.
He mentioned the state ranger law
that is being attacked by the Demo
Gratis. He said Governor Gunter, a
Democrat, first got the law passed and
the next legislature changed it a b
and gave another appropriation. A
coal strike has now been in progress
for several months, yet with the pres
ence of four rangers in Huerfano and
Las Animas counties ut has been quiet
and there has not even been a fist
fight. The state has saved the calling
out of the militia in that field and the
los of life. The Democrats are not
saying so much against the rangers
since the atrocities at Herrin, III. We
have been spared a possible repetition
of that terrible affair, through the
very fact that we have law which
provides for state rangers.
We are now paying interest ON
$1,700,000 insurrection bonds of many
years ago and this interest would pay
half the cost of the rangers. The
other half comes from corporation
flat tax, so the people pay very little
tax to maintain the rangers.
10 maintain our state government
we pay $4.37 out of every $1,000, $1.47
of which was voted by the people di-
rect. The balance is levied by the
schools and counties and cities. You
cannot send auto buses into the coun-
try 12 miles, bring the children to
school and carry them home again,
without paying for it. You cannot
have the kind of a government you
want without paying for it.
1t is the same in our state as in our
nation. When the nation or state got
on its uppers the people turned to tho
Republican party to rehabilitate it.
The nation is being rehabilitated and
the state is likewise by the Republican
party.
The Republican party has always
stood for law and order, he said, and

Good Representation on Part
Of the Unterrified Of Gar.
field County
FULL TICKET is NAMED

The Democrats of Garfield county
held their county assembly at the dis
trict court room last Saturday, with
very creditable representation from
the various psrecincts of the county.
At II O'Clock Chairman H. o. Switz.
er called the convention to order, G.
w. Taylor serving as secretary. The
customary committees were appointed
and adjournment taken until 2 O'Clock
when the committees reported and the
assembly proceeded to the business of
designating candidates to be support
ed at the primary election.
The resolutions committee offered
the following which was unanimously
adopted:
Resolutions
Convening today in Democratic
Assembly, we are inspired and assured
with renewed hope and confidence for
a successful future for the party that
was the immortal vision of Jefferson
and Jackson; and establishing, un-
der Woodrow Wilson, its sincere devo-
ton and true allegiance to American
ism Throughout the world-a school
matser able and willing to lead the
war-sick people of the earth to rest
under the eternal sunlight of liberty
and equal rights for all mankind. Be-
lieving that Democracy has in the
past and will continue in the future
to afford relief to the people of those
United States, and especially to sug-
gest stable reconciliation in the
economic situation.
Therefore, Be It Resolved, That we
condemn the policies Of the Republi-
can party and brand their actions as
vicious and as retarding to progressive
Americanism, as evidenced during the
past two years in falling to give relief
to the people of this land as promised,
which has resulted in the present un-
certain economic condition and extreme
hard times now prevalent throughout
our country.
We therefore feel deep assurance Of
the success Of the Democratic party
at the approaching election for the rea-
son that this party has never failed
in its promises nor denied the people
justice but has ever proved faithful
to the great mass of the American peo-
pie, rather than the servant of the se-
1ect few.
Be 1t Further Resolved, That we
look with pride upon the record estab-
lished by our beloved Congressman,
the Hon. Ed T. Taylor-his work on
behalf of his district and the whole
state and the nation, stands out in
bold relief on the records of our ma.
tional congress-; therefore, be it Re-
solved that we give him our unani-
nous endorsement.
Believ ng that the prospects for the
election of full Democratic ticket in
both Garfield county and the state this
November were mover 70 favorable:
Therefore, Be It Resolved, That we
make every honest effort to secure for
our candidates a majority unpara1-
leled in the history of our party.

STRATTON GREENHOUSE
WONDERFUL INSTITUTION

Strattons Green House at Lanca5-
ter is a busy place just now. Keeps
Charlie and his good wife jumping
to supply their many customers. Sun
day afternoon, like other folks often
do, they decided to take little ride
out in the country. When they re-
tsrned about four o'clock, they found
a big bunch of Fennimore, BoscObel,
Sitter and othe folks clamOring to
get in and be served. One nervy cuss
even went so far as to try all doors
at both residence and green house,
but could not gain entrance-Mrs.
Stratton had seen to it that every
thing was securely fastened A bur
glar would have mighty slim chance
at the Stratton place.
The green house at this season
surely presents beautiful picture
thousands of Towering plants, ferns,
etc, to say nothing of the millions CT
cabbage and tomato plants. No neeI

the Strattons can take care OF you
and no matter what the rush may be,
they never become ruffled always
courteous and obliging and giving the
best possible service.

caster is one of the big institutions
in which Grant county folks take par
donable pride.-FennimOre Times.
