U. H. VanOrsdale is a good man,
)ie js a good citizen, we have pot a
word to say against bim,|we know
of nothing mean he ever done to say
pf him, if we felt so disposed, but
that is not the point, O. G. ILv-s it
not only a good man, but he is the
kind of a man we need for mayor,
there is no spntimeut about this, its
business.
Arrangements are being made for
a ditch pelebration here next month,
we expect a large number of visitors,
others the ipenibers of the
Denver Real Estate Exchange. It
will be the duty of the mayor to re
peivo the visitors and extend the
courteciej of the city to them. Is
there a man iu Lamar more fitted for
ibis duty than O. G. Hess, will not
the action of the mayor on this occa
sion be of peculiar advantage to us,
ivhat to say, how to say it, and when
to say it, is a qualification we claim
for Mr. Iless.

O. G. Hess the people’s candidate
for mayor has a soldier record that
he may well be proud of. He enlist
ed in the eighth Illinois cavalry in
| September 18G1 when he was but j
j sixteen years old, he received a bad
hip wound at Culpepper Court House
in the poring of 1662, he was wound
ed in his right elbow at Beverly Ford,
Virginia, Juno 9th 1563. After see
ing a great deal of hard service all
of the tune suffering from his wounds,
jhe was detailed as an orderly and
i while on such duty his horse fell
with him and broke his wounded
! arm again and broke one of his
i =
; ankles. After serving his country
two years and eight months his disa
-1 ability from these wounds was so
j great that he was discharged from
! the service. Every acquaintance of
i Mr. Hess is well aware that he is a
j sufferer from his wounds, and yet no
< man has ever heard him complaiu,
and there are men who are not aware
that his injuries were received in the
service, such is a brief sketch of a
boy soldier, now a man who should
be honored for the service lie gave
‘ his country.
The time has again come when we
must choose a mayor and in doing
so it behooves our people in making
a choice to not only select a repre
sentative man of our prominent little
city, but one of recognized ability,
who is particularly well adapted to
fill the position not only with credit
to himself but to the credit of the
city, the course of particularly a
young city is under the guidance and
direction of the mayor. We all have
to admit that the opportunities afford
ed to a mayor alone to advance the
city by his tact and judgement in
the course of a year are many, ami in
making our choice we should cast
our votes as a matter of business, and
vote for a man who is fitted for the
position, one who can accomplish
what wc want done, which is every
thing possible in the interest of the
city', one who is identified with us,
and who cannot be influenced by out
side interest in anyway. In looking
over our city for such a man, and in
some cases passing personal prefer
ence, a number of our people decided
that Mr. O. G. Hess was the man tbe
city needed, a man who posscsed the
qualifications in every particular so
; much desired, a gentleman who has
j had experience in the management
‘of municipal affairs, a gentleman
whose profession has kept him in
public life for years, and one no mat
ter what the emergency would be the
j peer ol any mayor in tho state such
a man is O. G. Hess our candidate
tor mayor.
Everybody is pretty well satisfied
with the candidates for council, the
majority on both tickets are the
same men.
There has been an effort made
several tunes daring the week to
have but one ticket next Tuesday,
but all efforts in that direction failed,
, and there is nothing left but to elect
I O. G. Hess major.
i Lawrence Sweetman came up from
I the ranch Tuesday, he is an applicant
■ for the position of county commis
; sioner of Baca county and has a large
! petition recommending Lira. We
understand that the principal towns
of that county have united on Mr.
Sweetiuau a£ their choice which
should secure his appointment, he is
an old settler, a large tax payer and
is entitled to recognition.
