James S. Ferris for Congress
To the Citizens of the Fourth Congress
sional District:

1t is reported on apparently good
authority that Congressman Taylor
is to be named United States Sena-
tor to succeed the late Senator Mich
olson. 1t seems probable, therefore,
that it will shortly be necessary to
hold special election to name a
representative for this district.
The undersigned citizens of Gun
nison county respectfully urge favor
able consideration of their fellow
citizen, James S. Ferris, Professor of
History, Economics, and Government
in the Western State College of Col
orado at Gunnison, for this impor-
tant position.
James S. Ferris is admirably
equipped to represent this district
in Congress. He is man of unusual
ability, forceful personality, broad
sympathies, sterling character,
worthy ideals, and thorough training.
He possesses judicial mind and has
made careful study of governmental
problems. Few men have so thorough
grasp of fundamental principles of
government as has this man. His
knowledge of international law and
the relations of the nations of the
world would make him an ception-
ally valuable member of body that
has to decide upon matters affecting
foreign relations. He would be a
great factor in extending interna-
tional friendship and good will.
Among his teachers he has num-
bered such men as Professor Mer-
riam, of the University of Chicago,
widely known for his work in politi-
cal science and theory; Professor
Shepherd, of Columbia University, a
specialist in South American rela-
tions; Professor Munro, also of COL
umbia, an expert in international
law and diplomacy; and Congress-
man Temple, of Pennsylvania, a rec
ognized expert in international prob

is proposed to have, working with
the Commissioner of Public Welfare,
who heads the department, an advi-
sorry council of public welfare to be
appointed by the governor and to
act without compensation.
The Pardon Board would be abol-
ished, and the investigation of appli-
cations for parole or pardon would
be duty of the division of social
investigation.
This would mean saving of S4,-
492.00, according to estimates of ex-
experts.

Code of the State of Colorado, written

Public Works--Public Welfare

The Department of Public Works,
under. the reorganization of the state
government proposed by Governor
Sweets measure, would be organized
into two bureaus: The Bureau of
Highways, with divisions of engi-
neering, maintenance and records,
and the Bureau of Irrigation, with
it's suitable divisions.
The State Highway Engineer would
be made Commissioner of Public
Works. The Bureau of Irrigation
would have at its head state irri-
CATION engineer, appointed by the
Commissioner of Public Works. The
Advisory Highway Board is retained,
as at present.
Thirteen agencies now existing to
perform the states welfare work,
would be consolidated under the De-
partment of Public Welfare, with
three divisions and Re-

Captures Two Large Bob Cats
Pitkin Miner.
Harry Strauss was Pitkin visitor
Wednesday for a short time and
while here was displaying photo
graphs of large bob cat which he
recently trapped in the cliffs near
Revenue gulch. This was the second
cat he has captured in that vicinity
and says at one time there were six
came down near the road.
Mr.. Strauss traps them and his
Airdale pup Bruce, makes short work
of them when he gets on the job.
However, the big cat gave the dog a
good ten minutes tussle before the
pup managed to get hold on the
back of his neck, which ended the
fray, as the Airdale promptly broke
the neck of the feline.
A coyote has also been trapped by
Mr.. Strauss but he has been unable
to bag a mountain lion, his especial
ambition.
1t is to be hoped that he succeeds
in getting several more of these
beasts which are such enemies to all
game from deer to sage chickens.
And we have yet failed to find any
especial good in either cats, lions, or
coyotes, except for fur.
The photo Mr.. Strauss has is a
splendid one of the huge cat which
measured four feet from tip to tip,
one of the largest he says that he
has ever seen.

A splendid physique, well-poised
and decisive attitude as presiding
officer, and an ability to speak with
fluency and conviction make his out
look in public life the much more
promising.
His sympathies, if he can be called
partial at all, are with the farmer
and the laborer. His election would
most certainly meet with the un-
qualified approval of men who toll
with their hands.
On moral issues he would stand
firmly for the right as he saw it.
Through many years he has had an
active part in movements backed by
the best elements in the communi-
ties in which he has lived.
Nor is he untried in political and
community affairs. He occupies a
prominent place in local Democratic
circles and is now chairman of the
Gunnison Chamber of Commerce.
During the last campaign he fought
Vanently Tor the principles OF JEFF
fersonian democracy.
His interests and sympathies
reach beyond his local community.
AS matter of fact, his actual resi-
dence in Colorado within the last
fifteen years has included Eastern,
Southern, and Western Colorado. His
election would mean an intelligent
representation of the whole state as
well as the Western Slope. He has
resided in the "lower country" and
upon the headwaters of the Gunni-
son; he is, therefore, peculiarly well
qualified for intelligent representa-
tion in matters of reclamation and
irrigation.
For the foregoing reasons the un-
dersigned respectfully urge favor
able consideration of James S. Ferris
for representative in the Congress of
the United States.
