QUE COUNTY rICKEr

after this week before cleo
ton, and that number may not reach
all of our readers before the 9th of
November, so we have decided to
make this week a somewhat extended
notice of the candidates on the Re
publican county ticket.
FoR REPRESENTATIVE stands the
name of Dan L. Smith, of Long Is
land township. Mr.. Smith is well
known to the general public. He
held the Office of County Treasurer
two terms and such satisfaction did
he give, that he earned the title of
Honest Old Dan" He is a miller
and has all his life been a Iaboring
man. He is cs7e Of those frank, hon
est, out spoken men that everybody
of good intentions admire. All legis-
latglres and congress are Beseiged by
pestiferOus, cunning and oft times
conupt lobbyists, who are bent on Sc
cufing class Legislation, not in
theinte C Of the people, but Of the
few The voters should send men to
the law-making bodies who are in
eorruptable Honest Dan Smith is
that kind Of a man. We do not be
ieye he can be swerved from doing
his duty by the slick, intriguing lob
yist. He is a forcible taIker and clear
thinker. Mr.. Smith was a good sol
der in the war for the suppression Of
the rebellion, where he suffered hard
ships and priTations innumerable
that the COVE, ment might not be
destroyed. E record as soldier and
citizen is un sailabIe He is the
friend Of the lasses; he is just the
man Phillips county wants in the
general asso~l IDLY. Let him be elect
ed by a WI oping majority.
For CLERK OF THE Court, we have
J. D. Matteson, of Crystal Esquire
Matteson is. an old and highly re-
spected cit en- and farmer Of this
county, having been here for fourteen
years. He has been a Justice of the
Peace for the past ten years. At one
time he served as assistant Clerk of
the Court, and Judge Pratt and
others who know say he is splendidly
qualified for the place He was a
good Union soldier, is a laboring man,
a good Republican and a most val
liable citizen. The opposition tried
to injure his good name in the early
part of the campaign but the at
tempt we believe was fruitless and
he will be elected by a rousing ma
jority.
For COUNTY ATTORNEY is
Hon. r. 7. Shearer, of Logan, for
County Attorney. The HERALD has
from time to time since his nomina-
ton published extracts from Iowa
papers and other journals very com
plimentary to Mr. Shearer. He was
a few years ago an influential mem
Der of the Iowa Legislature and en-
joyed a good legal practice in that
state. His speeches in this campaign
are very highly spoken Of; they man
ifest splendid ability. He is in the
prime Of life, is d good lawyer, is a
temperance man, is energetic and
just the man to see that violators of
the law shall not go UNPUBLISHED.
Let all the Republicans be diIligent
from now till election day and give
him big majority,
For PROBATE JUDGE. is Capt.
| n. Polling for Probate Judge. The
Captain is an old settler, coming here
from West Virginia when the country
was new. In Virginia he served two
years as County Treasurer to the en-
tire satisfaction Of the people. He
commanded a company in the union
army for the suppression Of the re-
bellion. For many years he worked
on a farm, but for several years o.
late he has been engaged in mer
chantile business. He IS a well IN
formed man, social and accOmmodat
ing, rigidly honest, and viii make Z
capital Probate Judge. Let every
old soldier especially, go to the polls
early and stay late, and see to it tina
the gallant old Captain is not neg
lected- We all owe a debt of graft
tude to the soldier who left wife anC
children and took his life In his hand
and went to the front to save this Re
public Let US see to It that the ole
soldier gets 200 majority.
