STALEY Of Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, for District Representative com prising the counties of Cheyenne, Lincoln and Kit Carson. A WORD TO THE VOTERS. I feel that the voters in the above counties wish to know that the man they support has had the opportunity to acquire the ability that would do justice to the office, and know what every man’s interests are, so far as the correct representation of the district is concerned. I was raised on a farm and for the past five years have been in the Banking Business in Chey enne Wells and have had every opportunity to become familiar with the needs of all the people of this district. I have favored the Home steader, the Stock Grower, the Business man and have worked for the advancement and up building of the County in which I live. I have studied the inter ests of this entire district and feel that I am competent to re present the people in an efficient manner, and bring lasting results to our district. Democrats.

The following i* a letter from the State Sup’t to the (Jo , Sup’t and will lie oi interest to all applicants at the August Examination; The same has been carefully carried out in the grad ing of said problems. Kniniu M. Johnstone, Co., Sup’t of Schools. August 24, 1014. My Dear Superintendent: *1 have discovered with regret, that there are two printer’s errors contain ed in the arithmetic questions appear ing in the August Examination, and in the desire to be perfectly fair to all applicants, I am advising that all Co. Superintenbents give full credit on questions seven and nine, to such ap plicants as have worked the problo ms in a rational and full manner, even though the exact answer lias not been given. The printer's blunders referred to are as follows:—What reads should read “faces” in number seven, and in number nine instead of reading ‘•*A, B &(”* it should read “A.& 11”, . I regret extremely that these errors should have oecured, as I believe that the examination is fair. I‘lease assure any who may confer with you about the arithmetic* ques tions, that tliey have all been taken from an eighth grade arithmetic and ore such as eighth grade children in various parts of Colorado have solved successfully. Also please note that there are. twelve questions given, and only ten tab.) solved, thereby alTord ing a choice that makes it the appli cant's own fault if the more dillicult problems have been selected for solu tion. Trusting that your candidates for certificates may prove successful and with all good wishes for you person ally and officially, I am Very sincerely. Mary C. C. Bradford, State Sup’t of lhiblic Insjbru£tiajv In poJiti.es Jt is generally conce ded hy all fair minded men that a party should reward its work ers, according to. services ren dered, a man who has worked vyith the party in some capacity for a number of years and given a good account of himself is ad mittedly more deserving than one who never worked with the party in any capacity, and for that reason can have no legiti mate claim on it. When it co nes to nominating for office, a man may be ever so able and ever s.o good a party man-but let him prove it—most people like to be shown in these matters. This paper has possibly incur red the enmity of a certain indi vidual, by strictly adhering to the merit system in politics, and . while we are sorry to know that there should be any feeling in the matter, we are firm in the stand we have taken. Let the aspirant for office prove himself in the community and by faithful yvork for his party earn a place on the ticket. This will explain a s former ar ticle recommending E. J. SNY DAL as the logical man for the nomination of Clerk and Recor- 1 der, and we believe the RECORD has taken the right stand.
