DEMOCRATIC "LANDSLIDE"
FAILS TO SHOW UP
IN OFFICIAL CANVASS

Washington.-1t is quite obvious
that the last Congressional elections
were decided upon national issues
upon the record of the Republican
Congress. Republican candidates for
Congress, ninety per cent of whom
were present incumbents up for re-
election, ran upon their record and
the record of their party in Congress
and in control of the federal admins
tration.
Democratic politicians and news
papers have been chortling ever since
the election of the Democratic land
slide" and counting the presidential
election of 1924 as already won upon
the basis of the elections last fall
This Democratic enthusiasm may be
well intentioned but it is undoubtedly
based on misinformation. The official
returns of all congressional elections
have been canvassed by the officials
of the respective states,-and they fail
to show any Democratic Landslide"
For example, Democrats are counting
Michigan in their column, but the Of
ficial canvass shows the aggregate
vote of the Republican candidates for
Congress in Michigan was 1887 lar
ger than the aggregate vote of the
Democratic candidates!
Democrat "dopesters" talk about
New York and New Jersey being
safely" Democratic since the land
slide last fall. The official canvass
shows the aggregate vote Of the Dem
ocratic candidates for Congress in
New York exceeded that of the Re-
publicans by only 1,316,--which is
not much of a landslide! The recent
special election in the 18th New York
district showed a meagre 2O6 Demo-
cratic majority as against Democra-
tic majority of 1926 last November,
which shows the drift,-a drift which
will wipe out many times that land
slide" Of 51,316! The Democratic
landslide in New Jersey congressman
an aggregate vote of only 81 over the
aggregate vote of their republican op-
ponents-not much to go on even the
most optimistic Democratic must ad-
nit.
The following is the tabulation of
the aggregate vote for Republican and
Democratic congressman in the sever
al Northern states, as compiled from
the official returns furnished and GER
titled to by the secretary of state.

Is This Pretty Good?

Allen C. Nash of Spring Creek has
a small flock of purebred Hampshire
sheep. On March 18th, 25 of his ewes
had lambed, producing a total of 61
lambs or an even 244 per cent Four
lambs were born dead and a few
others were lost but over 200 percent
were living This is one of the few
punches of purebred sheep on the
Western Slope and one of the best
flocks in the state. The head of the
herd is a son of a Chicago Interna-
tional champion as we'll as a Wes-
tern National champion, a ram bred
by the Kansas Agricultural College
and purchased by Mr. Nash
On March 18th Maurice Dawson,
county sheep club champion of Mont
rose county in 1921 and again in 1922
bought one of Mr.. Nashs registered
ewes. The next day the eve present
ed Maurice with three husky lambs
which Maurice says is good enough
for him.

CRAWLING.

Some complaint has gone up over
the proposition of the grayeling dis
trict. The matter is now officially be-
fore the city commissioners for action.
The petition to create the district was
duly circulated and over so per cent of
the property owners within the dis
trict favored the proposition. The
city officials acted according to law
and gave the required public notice.
For the benefit of those who desire
to discuss the matter President Rob
inson of the Chamber of Commerce
has called meeting of the residents
of the city for tonight. dinner will
be given promptly at o'clock after
which the graveling proposition will
come up for consideration.
The sgners of the protest, at least
those with whom we have talked, de
sire it to be emphatically known that
they do not propose to be party to
killing the improvement district. In
fact they favor it. The objection
which has been raised is the matter
of assessment on corner lots.
The immense benefit which the i'm
provement district will be to every
property owner should be given care
full and sane consideration this even
ting.
Get together! Let's have the old
streets put in good shape and do away
with the many .wash-board" avenues
and streets. There is hardly a day
but what someone from Grand juno
ton or Montrose, or some other point
calls the Independents attention to
the deplorable condition of our streets.
The city should now look into the
future. The Main street paving must
be faced within the next few years.
Perhaps sooner. Levy for this should
be included in our next years city
budget and a start made in this direc-
tion.
Our towns on either side are ad-
vancing and getting more up-to-date
right along while we are making no
provisions for the future.
Shall we stand still for move ahead?
