#Boulder Daily Camera, October 27, 1897: a list of political parties competing on the November ballot. Note the iconography used for the political parties, and the number of different parties represented on the ballot: ten. The Democratic party symbol is a strutting rooster (!) and the Republican symbol is an eagle clutching olive branches but standing on top of a shield laying on the ground. Truly bizarre. #COpolitics #ElectionDay #NineteenthCenturyPolitics
