The editorial endorses Judge Campbell for re election as Colorado Supreme Court justice. It praises his nine year record since 1894, integrity, learning, and fairness, arguing voters will renew his seat on the upcoming election day.
The Record contrasts Republican government and tariff policy with Democratic measures. It credits government stewardship for trade growth, cites the Wilson tariff as disastrous, and praises the Dingley law for revenue and prosperity, noting Spain's wartime impact on the nation.
A political statement defends continued U S sovereignty over the Philippine Islands and territorial expansion as part of manifest destiny. It argues fears at the Treaty of Paris were unfounded and credits the Republican party with decisive action, tariff and financial policies, and reliable promises.

The higher land values are offset by these compensating advantages.

Prices varied from sixty five cents to one dollar ten per box depending on variety.
