honest and competent, and i
elected will do his duty conSci'
cntiously. He comes before
the. people with clear record
Mr.. Joe Hoffman, the present
incumbent, is the regular repub-
lican nominee for the office OIL
county assessor. Politically we
do not agree with him. but SC
far as We know he has discharg-
cd his duty faithfully. Having
already filed the office he seeks
to be reelected to, he needs no
introduction to the people.
Mr.. Carl Schutzc is announce
as the republican nominee for
the Office of county attorney.
He has held the position for the
past four years. He is gen.
tleman of ability. Our citizens
are well acquainted with his
official record and it is with
them TO decide whether or not
they will continue him in Office.
MIR. II. A. Harvin, probably
one of the best known men in
the county is the republican
nominee for tax collector, po-
sition he has filled for the past
four years, during which time
he has made many friend. We
have tried to beat him at the
two last elections and are going
to Try it again. The Taxpayers
all know Mr.. Harvin and he
will stand or fall by the verdict
Of the voters on the End of No
vember.
For Sheriff. Mr.. Frank G.
| Clamnifi is H. -@ss'e--demo-
ocratic nominee. He is, we be
lieve, a native of this county, is
a young man and 4 prosperous
farmer Of the independence
neighborhood, is gentleman
whose character is above re-
proach and is universally es-
tecmcd by those who know hun
best. He is not an oflicc-seek-
or or 4 politician and this is the
first time he has ever been be-
fore the public for any office.
He possesses frmncss aud de-
cision of character and is emil
nently qualified to fill the office
TO which he aspires.
District Clcrk-Mr. Sam II.
Goodlett is the regular demo-
cratic nominee for the Office of
district clerk. Mr.. Goodlett is
a native of this county, is
young man who has never
sought Office and is we'll quail
fed TO perform the responsible
duties OF district clerk. He is in
no sense a politician, and while
he, politically is democrat he
is moderate and conservative in
his views. The Office is non
political one and members of all
parties can safely vote for him
with the assurance that the du-
ties of the office will be faith
fully perfomed-if he is cleo
ted.
Justice, Precinct No. 5. Mr..
T. ]. Newman, than whom no
one in the county is better
known, announces himself as
candidate for justice in this pre-
cinct, a position which he held
in 1898 until removed by the
military. Mr.. Newman Is
lawyer by profession and con-
scquently is much better quail
fed to discharge the duties OF
the office than any non-profes-
sional. The county convention
that met last week passed the
office, and now that Mr.. New
man has announced himself, we
do not think that the democrat
cy will make any nomination.
The Office is not political in
any sense, and it is to be hoped
that every man in the precinct
who Wants an able and conscien-
tious justice will vote for Mr..
Newman.
