Dow Newman is an old stage man
who is probably known to every old.
timer on the Pacific slope as thorough
ly honorable and competent to trans
act any kind Of business. Although
he has always paid hundred cents
on the dollar, and been as liberal as
the most of the Argonauts, he has the
reputation of being little "close"
now; AMI his friends say that if he
freezes on to the county's money as
he does to his own the taxpayers will
have no cause to find fault with him
as Commissioner. His election is a
foregone conclusion.
Who in Alturas does not know Joe
Rupert to be really first class man,
no matter how you take him? He
helped to build the first log cabin in
HALEY, took up the first collection for
the public schools and been keeping
it up ever since, and has been, first,

Denver or at New Orleans-Rupert
has been sure to spend hundreds of
dollars. much valuable time, and to
put forth every possible effort to make
a creditable display; an onslaught of
jivisionists to be resisted, Rupert was
sure to be found in the front rank,
fighting with might and main, and at
no matter what sacrifice, for Alturas
county. In his laborious efforts to
secure specimens for exposition at
Denver, New Orleans and elsewhere,
he has visited almost every mine in
the county and travelled over every
toll-road, wagon-road, and mountain
trail, and thus acquired the most need
full qualification. But how is he as a
man? Is he honest? Ask anybody
who has had dealings with him. Such
b man rs he is will prove indeed to
be "the right man in the right place. -
and the people, always true to them
selves, may be relied upon to cleo,
him by large majority.
In casting about for a candidate
for the Third District, the Republi-
can County Convention selected G.
20. Glenn, Of Glenn's Ferry, as the
man whom they (who are principally
railway employees and farmers) de-
sired to represent them on the Board.
Mr.. Glenn is man who is not very
widely known, but who grows in es
TEEN as he becomes better acquaint-
ed. Although scarce 43 years Old he
enjoys the distinction of having
served over FIVE years in the Union
Army, of having twice been honor
ably discharged for physical disabi|:-
ties resulting from wounds received
while at war in defense Of his
country, and Of having honorably
earned his promotions from "high pri-
vate in the rear rank through the va
rious non commissioned offices to that
of second and first lieutenant with a
captains brevet. A stone and brick
mason by trade, Mr.. Glenn has at
times engaged in mining, and can

present he keeps the ferry owned by
his brother, Gus, than whom better
man was never made, and puts in his
own time (his family attending to the
ferry) working 70, the railway COM
pany in the yard at Glenn's Ferry.
Mr.. Glenn should be elected, and he
will be unless the Republicans of his
district allow themselves to be split
by an independent movement which
would inevitably result in the election
