THE REPUBLICAN TICKET
COULD NOT BE BETTER

1t will be a pleasure to vote the Re
publican ticket this year for there
is not man on either national ol
local tickets who will not do honor tc
the office to which he aspires if elect
ed; who will not conscientiously anG
continually serve the people who put
him in office with their confidence
Never in the history of the party has
there been such fine ticket in every
particular placed before the voters.
From President Coolidge downward it
will be a delight and a qualification
to every thinking man and woman to
place an X after each Republican
name on the ballot at the November
election.
President Coolidge will not consent
to a downward revision of the tariff,
which will remain the same as it is
now. This is a step toward benefit
ting agriculture, and a step which is
appreciated by everyone who is inter
ested in the success and progress of
the country, not of self, of his or her
community's interests rather than the
narrow interests of each individual
Lawrence C. Phipps' achievements
during the time that he has been in
the Senate as a representative of the
people of Colorado are many. He was
instrumental in obtaining the appoint
ment of DR.. Hubert c, Work of Pueblo
as Secretary of the Interior, who has
taken hand in righting and straight
ening out the evils and mistakes
which have occurred largely under
Democratic regime of the Reclamation
projects. He was active in laying be-
fore the Senate and the President the
necessity of adjustment for the Recla-
nation project and in this way alone
did much to gain recognition of the
true state of affairs in this valley and
at Grand Junction. Mr.. Phipps is a
man of big affairs. He is well known
in the Senate and in Washington. He
has active and important places on

Men recognize his ability and leader.
ship and he is constantly increasing
this. 1t would be sad mistake for
the people of Colorado not to return
Senator Phipps to the seat he has held
with such credit and such help for
Colorado. He is especially active in
matters of taxation and is constantly
striving to help the little fellow in this
way. Next week we will have a fuller
resume of the work of Mr.. Phipps and
the things he has accomplished during
his office.
