FRAMES AND TRI
TIE CANDIDATES.

The Republican County COnven-
ton that met at the Court House last /
Saturday, was one Of the largest that /
ever assembled In the county. 1t was /
a fine looking gathering Of men The |
resolutions passed are up to the high !
water mark Of progress and reform. /
The ticket nominated Is upon the /
whole, a good one.
FOR REPREsENrATIvE. D. i. Smith, /
Of Long Island township, was nOmi- /
mated by reclamation and unanimous
ly. Mr.. Smith is we'll known to the
general public. He has 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 labOring man. He is frank,
! open, and honest, Is well informed on
! all the important issues Of the day,
and while not much of an orator, has
a good command Of language, and
speaks when he does talk, right to
the point. He viii be true to the peO-
pies best interests, will stand for the
right as he understands it, and will,
as a legislator, we believe be incOr-
ruptable. For months the HERALD
has been urging the nomination of a
candidate for the Legislature who Is
opposed to TRUSTS" and other COM
binations of men associated together
to flch from the people,-an anti
monopoly, progressive, republican,
who is In full sympathy with the great
tOiling masses. We believe Mr..
Smith is such a man. Let him be
elected by a rousing majority.
For CLERK OF THE COURT, we have
J. D. MattesOn, Of Crystal. Esquire
AattesOn Is an old and highly respect
cd citizen and farmer of this county,
having been here for fourteen years.
Some years ago he served as assistant
Clerk, and the attorneys who are
familiar with his work on the records
and legal papers, say his qualifca-
, lions are first-class, in fact that he
is probably as we'll qualified
, as any man in Phillips Co. He
was a gallant soldier is a splendid
citizen, a good republican and he adds
great strength to the ticket. Let him
have every republican vote in the
county.
For COUNTY ATTORNEY. Hon. r.
7. Shearer, of Logan, is the nominee
for County Attorney. This nOmina-
ton was quite unexpected but turns
out to be a very good one. Mr..
) Shearer was a few years ago a prom
inent member Of the Iowa House of
, Representatives and enjoyed a good
legal practice In that State. Coming
} to Kansas, he settled at Logan where
l by reason of his energy and ability
he soon came into prominence. His
, friends are enthusiastic In his sup
l port. and claim that he will make one
Z Of the best County Attorneys we have
1 ever had He is in the prime Of life,
is said to be a good lawyer, is an &C
tive Republican, and we hope and be-
r lieve he will receive the unanimous
@ vote of the party and be triumphant
y 10 elected.
