NOTE AND COMMENT.
It is being persistently rumored that
Senator E. O. Wolcott has been offered a
cabinet position by President Roosevelt,
and that Postmaster General Smith will
Joon retire, Mr. Wolcott taking his
place.
We are of the opinion that the rumor
iJ unfounded. In the first place we do
not believe the president has offered him
a position, aud in the second place we
believe that the senator is out of politics
and that he would not take the position
if offered to him.
During the late campaign we heard a
good deal of talk about the bills of one
of our candidates during his first term
in office. Some people talk as if he
ought to have been beaten because he
drew from the county all that the law al-
lowed him in payment for the faithful
performance of his official duties.
They did not seem to take into consid
oration that if some one else had been
elected in his place he would do the
same thing, which is no mote than right.
But the result of the election shows that
the majority of voters are willing that a
public official shall be paid his right
dues, and that because he takes it is no
reason why he should be turned out and
another put in. This candidate received
as many votes as anyone on either ticket.
The way that campaigns have been
conducted in this county ever since the
days of Otto Mears, when it is said to
have cost him $15,000 to be elected a
repr~ntative to the state assembly, is
rather disgusting to the average citizen,
and momewhat discouraging to the poor
man wbo aepirem to public office. As soon
ae a man is nominated for office he is
considered good and rightful "picking"
for every Tom, Dick and Harry. Those
who never work, and some that do; some
who have influence, and all who have
none. Many of his friends 'whom he
never would have thought it of, turn
'*grafters," and his leg is pulled--yes
both legs, for all he is worth, and some-
times for all that he can borrow. Fre-
quently candidates are nominated for no
other reason than that they have a "bar-
rel."
It is high time that a change was made
in the methods of conducting our cam-
paigns in this civilized and progressive
country. Some plan ought to be adopt-
ed whereby one would not have to buy
his office, aud then frequently not get
what he pays for. Either all parties get
together and put up one set of good can-
didates, or the candidates agree to stay
at home and spend no money and let the
voters decide the election.
We notice that a good many politi-
cians of the state are jumping on C. H.
Brickenstein, of Copejoa county, for
holding so many offices. He is surveyor
of customs in Denver at a good salary,
clerk of the district and county courts of
Conejos county, and has just been re-
elected county treasurer for the sixth
term, by virtue of which office he is also
public trustee.
From a pohticai standpoint we don't
see anything wrong with Charlie. He is
in politics, and in that profession "to the
victors belong the spoils." ['he most of
the kicking is done by those who are
"out" but would lille to get "in" just as
deep as he is. No one can say that he is
not capable of conducting his offices to
the satisfaction of the people and until
someone comes along who is smart
enough to get them away from him he
is welcome to them. The writer has also
held office, sometimes more than one at
a time, but he has now voluntarily given
them all up, as he has more congenial
work, and he knows from experience
that many will call one a hog if he holds
more than one office, but these same peo-
ple, together with many others, will call
him afoolif he gives any of them up
just to please his enemies.
Much has been said during the past
few years, and especially in this county,
about third formers for office, but ~ve no.
tics that most of the talk is made by the
politicians, who find it to their interests
to discourage continuity in public
office, and get up new candidates fre-
quently. The people of Saguacbe county
have been led to believe that a man
could not be elected for the third term,
and it has become a sort of an unwritten
law that an official shall not hold more
than two successive terms.
We have also noticed tbat a "third
former" in other counties, if he is honest
and capable, all other things being equal
has as good a show for election, if nomi-
nated, as a new candidate, and fre-
quently gets a bigger vote than first
termers on the same ticket. Leaving
out of the question the counties of Cone-
jos and Costilla, who re-elect their officers
for many terms without opposition, we
find that in the last election Fay, of
Chaffee county and Brothers, of Gunni-
son county, were re-elected county clerks
f~,r their third terms, also Carpenter, of
Rio Grande, for supt. of schools; and we
presume there were many other third
termers elected in the state. It is a sig-
nificant fact that all the candidates just
mentioned were either democrats or pop-
ulists. We believe that if an official is
honest, capable and accommodating in
office that the majority of voters will
support him regardless of how many
terms he has held.
Many of the republicans of Denver and
other parts of the state are laying most
of the blame for the defeat of the repub-
lican ticket in Arapahos county this
year to the part taken by the federal
office holders in the campaign and their
management of the affairs of the party
generally. It is said that 185 of the dele-
gates to the Arapahos county convention
were federal office holders, their clerks
and members of their families, and that
they absolutely run the whole thing. It
is reported that state chairman Ford
national committeeman Stevenson, and
many other party leaders will be asked
to resign, and turn over the party leader-
ship in the state to able republicans who
are not influenced by federal office hold-
ers
While many public officials are well
qualified to conduct and control party
affairs, aud would do so for the best in-
terests of the party, if there were "no
strings on them," still the people gener-
ally will not fdllow self constituted
leaders, and they resent any interfer-
ence from what appears to be outside in-
fluences in the conduct ot local cam-
paigns. If the republicans expect to
carry the state next year we believe there
will have to be a change in the manage-
ment of the affairs of the party, and
possibly a change in leaders. In this
county the republicaus had an example
of what appeared to be outside interfer-
ence during the last campaign. An old
resident of the county, and one of the
beat postmasters, was removed from
office for no reason apparently, and a
man placed in his office who has been iu
the county less than a year, and was not
even known by half the patrons of his
office. The only reason why he got the
office was because he had a "pull" with
headquarters. And only a short time
after he was appointed he came into our
republican county convention with a
contesting delegation from his precinct
and asked to be seated. The convention
very promptly and rightly seated the
regular delegation, and thereby saved
the party from defeat iu the county.
Public officials should besatisficd to con-
duct their offiee,'and let others manage
party affairs.
Colorado Women in Office.
Tweuty-two counties in Colorado elect-
ed women for county school superinten-
dents at the late election. In two coun-
ties a woman was elected county clerk,
San Juan and Logan, one of them for
her fourth term. Also in San Juan
county Miss Nellie Tulley, sister of de-
puty state treasurer Tultey, was elected
county treasurer for her third term.
loot Races In Two Towns.
Manuel dc Herrera blew in from Tabs,
Thursday ostensibly selling chile and
when it leaked out that he was also
hunting a foot race, a match was soon
made up with Glen Cochran, and all
sorts of money placed on the result. The
distance was eighty yards and the Mexi-
can now owns the coin.--Del Norte
Prospector.
Manuel's advance agents came to Sa-
guache the first of the week and match-
ed a race between him and Art Creger.
Distance 100 yards, $60 on a aide was
put up. The race was run Wednesday,
and the Mexican now has some Sa-
guache coin also.
