popular favor, nor are they attempting to at

II has been on the market long enough to
prove its rare merits to the satisfaction of the
thousands who have been benefited by its use,
and whose restored health and happy lives
bear living testimony to the power and virtue
of this excellent preparation.
1t has stood the most severe tests of the
medical profession, and the fact that no other
preparation on the market has been SO freely

Is conclusive evidence that this has been the
most efficacious in all wasting diseases, such

For CORONER.

1t is a good sign politically, when
our best citizens are willing to give
their services to the people 1t shows
that the public welfare is of the first
concern, as it ought to be of those
in whose minds patriotism is constant
fire. The office Of coroner is not sought
for its emoluments; it pays but little.
1t is an office, however, which must be
filled, and it is important that it be fil.-
ed by good man. Such a man is
presented in the person of DIR. j. W.
Wade.
DR.. Wade is physician with an ex-
tensive practice, and man of excel
lent qualities. He is man of first
class business ability. He would be
credit and an honor to the people as
their officer and no one could do other
wise than praise and respect him in
such capacity. The voters will on Nov.
9th, by their ballots say-Dr. J. W.
Wade is coroner.

II. p. BELL.

To praise worthy man, is a work Of
pleasure.
TO declare the virtues of tried Of
fetal is an employ fit for any pen. So
one feels when the name of our Sheriff,
II. B. Bell Is named.
If every man who in the past two
years has commended him, would vote
for him in November ''Ham" Bell
would be the unanimous choice of Ford
county's citizens.
From his opponents have come words
Of praise innumerable, and his friends
have watched his official career with
pride and satisfaction. And friends
have multiplied until it is hard to find
an enemy.
THE best sheriff Ford county ever
had. 'One Of the best sheriffs of the
State of Kansas. These are common
utteraaces.
The lawyers of a county have per-
haps tie best opportunity Of judging of
the qualifications of Il sheriff. What
Go they say Of n B. Bell? The ex-
preston IS unanimously prompt,
faithful and efficient sheriff.
What more can be asked than that a
man should have shown such eminen,
fitness for his office? Upon what doct-
rine, or should our sheriff be now re.
placed by another man?
Shall the Office, whose careful admin
istration means so much for the people
be a political prize, to be handed about
upon demand or shall it be kept in the
hands Of the faithful public servant fol
the full term allowed by our law, which
is only four years? Let the people an

Why they Vote for Dem
OCratS.

Some of the reasons why SO many rep
resentatve republicans are supporting the
democratic county ticket: Collectively
they support the democratic nominees be-
cause they have been selected with some
regard as to their fitness for the positions
to which they aspire, and are not the
creation of few party leaders, as is the
case with the republican nominees. They
believe that good, conscientious demo-
crat will make better county official
than a rampant republican demagogue.
Individually they believe that
Geo. b. Cox, with his years of sue
cessful business experience to be safer
man to trust with the public funds than
his untried and unknown opponent. They
know that they would show ingratitudc
if they failed to recognize the years OF
hardship and toll he has undergone in
Ford county. and the many public enter
prIses that he has fostered and cOntribut-
ed to which have benefited us all alike,
and by their suffrage give choice to one
who does not own foot of real estate in
our county, and of whose qualifications
there is doubt, whose :only recommen-
dation to public consideration is the fact
that he halls from Indiana and W. C.
ShInn handles him
They support II. B. Bell because he has
made the best sheriff Ford county has
ever had. He is an official in whom our
county feels a just pride. Sweeney is an
untried and unknown quantity, and his
name is Dennis.
They endorse and support Ii. NJ. Bev-
erley, because his official record stands
unblemished. because of his long resi-
dence in Ford county, by which he has
become part, his integrity and liberal
ity to public enterprises, his warm heart
ed and generous hospitality. Surely no
one who knows Judge Beverley and his
opponent can hesitate as to choice.
They will vote for Geo. W. Potter for
many reasons, principally among which
is the fact of the untitness of his oppo-
nent, his weakened official record as
chairman of the board of county COM
missioner, his total lack of those quail
ties essential to the correct recording of
the cOunty's business.

TO THE FARMERS.

In the spring Of 1888 the farmers Of
Ford county, having met with repeated
failures, were without seed to plant
their crops, and were compelled to
look to the business Of Dodge City for
their help to secure the seed on time
until the crop could be harvested. A
meeting of business men and farmers
was called at the opera house in Dodge
City and the matter discussed and a
subscription started to raise fund with
which to purchase seed to sell to the
farmers on time. At that meeting w.
G. Shinn, who was a member of the
late firm of Sius & Shinn, and an ar
dent editorial supporter Of Sims for
county treasurer, subscribed one hun
dred dollars to the fund and never paid
a dollar of it, and yet he poses as the
farmers friend. L. Sims never gave a
dollar toward the enterprise.
On the other hand Geo. B. Cox,
whom they characterize as the banker
candidate and the enemy of the farmer,
gave a round hundred dollars, and gave
his time and the use of his scales free
of charge for some six weeks in distri-
buting the seed to the farmers. Not
only that, but the men at the coal yard
assisted, and at Mr.. Cox expense.
The farmers of Ford county have
never had better friend than in the
person of Geo. B. Cox, and those who
have so willfully placed him in a false
light before the farmers should be re-
buked.
Dodge City times. [volume] (Dodge City, Kan.) 1876-1892, 1889-10-31

Much has been said of our County's f.
nancier by our republican contemporary
about reducing taxation and about their
candidate for treasurer, if elected, paying
dollar for dollar for county scrip. Such
sOphistry may catch a few voters but it
will never bring about the much needed
reform. The Board of County Commits
sioners and the County Attorney are or
should be the watch dogs of the treasury.
They alone can bring the current expen-
ses down TO basis at par with the times.
They alone are responsible for scrip being
below par If the County Commissioners
are extravagant and reckless and allow
bills which are exorbitant and which
should not at all be allowed, and place
no limit upon their allowance, then we
must abide by the consequences. We
must abide by hoavy taxation, or make
an attempt TO reduce the interest bearing
Indebtedness of the county. We should
begin at the fountain head; study deep
and with "a determination to reduce the
burden forced on US by INSCRIPTIONS and
irresponsible officers and we can do SO on
~ by electing responsible men to posi-
| tons of trGst;-men of known character
and ability, and of unimpeachable integ-
rity. We have been deceived by new
men, who were apparently good fellows
. | lgra.,,fnra .nI rod OURSELVES
for being duped, and swore eternal vigil
ance in the future. The time is at hand
for us to act. We have an opportunity
TO vote for man for commissioner who
is known among us rs the ablest financier
in the county. \ man of far seeing Wis
ion, who looks into the future where per
sonai honor and integrity is known and
recognized, not only in Ford county but
across the space of states. In the com
mercial centers of Denver, Kansas City
Chicago and New York the financial hon
or OF G. Vi. Hoover occupies "a high place,
won by long and honorable dealing in the
world of business. There is no othel
man in Ford county so ably fitted to head
the board of Commissioners and superin
tend the disbursement of the county
money as is Geo NJ Hoover Honest
capable and strong in his convictions OF
right and wrong, determined in his re-
sistance of wrong doing, outspoken as
again;s steals and Doodle schemes, he is
the man we need. We cannot afford to
experiment again; We have experimental
too much and too often for the welfare
of our people. We should vote for men
whom We absolutely know will be honest
with US and whom we know are above
petty steals and schemes to rob the coun-
ty
