IL. VI. BEVERLEY.

1t is like carrying Goals to New Cas-
tie or filling Il already full, to bring
words Of compliment and praise for that
good and highly honored citizen whose
name has been placed before the people
as candidate for Register of Deeds.
1t can be said of him as of the great
English gcneral-''That good gray head
which all men knew.
Judge Beverley is man of such
ability that his equal is hard to find.
Not only is he widely known and so
universally respected, but also he is
not overrated. He deserves it all. No
man in Ford county could possibly be
his superior In the administration of
such an Office
The people of Dodge City have put
the city funds into his custody and well
are they cared for
If any man has doubt as to the
beauty and skill of the work done in
public records by Judge Beverley, in
person. not by deputy, let him call at
the City Treasurer Office and make a
personal inspection.
This will convince the most skepti-
cal.
There are no other county records to
compare with them.
Does not Judge Beverley dererve
the Office? If he does not, then it is
idle to speak of good qualities, of hon
orable conduct, and of uncommon abil-
titles, as being worth any consideration,
when the people are choosing their Off
GERS
If this Office Is bestowed where merit
lles-it will surely be given to Ii. NJ.
Beverley.
If elected, he will give his whole
personal attention to the duties of the
Office, will be ever ready to aid those
who seek to Investigate the records or
to have any other business done. He
will be cordial in his greetings; polite
in his attentions, and sklllful in his
work
Elect him, and no man shall ever saw
there was any mistake made.
Elect him, and bestow upon a worthy
man, an Office which will do him good.
and which he will honorably; worthily
and successfully ELL.

COMMISSIONER.

Hon. George NJ. Hoover, staunch,
successful business man; ablest finan-
cier In Western Kansas What a benc
fit is to come to our people from his ac-
cepting the office of County Commits
sioner. For it is sacrifice to him to
give his time and attention to its duties
Yet he is willing to make this sacrifice,
having been urged by so many Of the
tax payers Of Ford county to act for
them in matters of vital interest to
them.
To any one who knows the almost
unlimited power of the county commls-
sioners over the affairs and finances Of
the county, it is much for good or ill, as
We want good financial ability. We
want sterling honesty, and a wide ac
1uaintancc with county matters and
county needs And we want in addition
to these that manIiness of character
which gives a commissioner the cour-
age to do what is right and advisable,
and to refuse to do what is wrong and
contrary to the interests of the whole
people. Such man, pre-emincntly, is
George NJ. Hoover.
He needs no cnconium at our hands, he
has served the people in the capacity of
commissioner before, and no other man
was ever onc-half so useful in that Of
fee.
That his splendid qualities will 50
far commend him to the voters of tie
3rd District as to lead to his election by
a handsome majority over his young and
inexperienced opponent, is not subject
to doubt.
For the people who know HIM best,
most admire and respect him, and are
the most anxious to see him in the office
where his fine talents will make an ad-
ministration which will greatly advant-
age the taxpayers and citizens of Ford
county.

GEORGE W. POTTER

Who has been placed before the peo-
PIE for the Office of County clerk has SO
long resided in Ford county that ne is
almost native
He is so well known that in very few
houses would he be 4 stranger.
He is so general a iavorite that at
every turn OF the road, and at every
street corner men slap him on his broad
shoulder and say. GLOW are you,
George" and children greet his com
ing with expressions Of delight. Where
ever one may go, he hears the people
speak Of George Potter in terms of IN
mistakablc affection and esteem.
And he is worthy of it.
A SPLENDID specimen of physical
manhood; he Is bigbrained and large
hearted. lie knows the people, the
people know him, and this knowledge
is mutually satisfactory.
George Potter is a man Of extraor-
binary energy; he is also man Of fine
qualifications. He Is practically ac-
quainted with two or three lines of
work, any one of which requires good
talents.
To say that he has proven TO be the
best surveyor this county has ever had,
is putting it mildly. He may not have
the skill il draugh;ing possessed by that
bright young democratic ciyi! engineer,
f. J. Beard, but Mr. Potter is far his
superior ia actual field work. 10 be a
good surveyor implies, and makes nee
essary, most of those qualifications req
uisite for an efficient County Clerk.
To these Mr.. Potter adds the i'm
mence advantages of very good acquaint
ance with law, and most excellent judg
ment With that most uncommon Of
things, good common sense, George
Potter is well supplied.
As county clerk he would prove a
valuable assistant To the Commissioners
in matters Of county concern, and
would at once grasp the important dc
tails of his official work, because he al
ready knows practically all the elements
of that work.
Let it be remembered that for the
people OF Ford county the office Of
County Clerk is in every sense the
most important at this time, and the
person chosen for this office ought TO be
selected On account Of his superior
qualifications for Its duties.
With confidence that the nomination
of George Potter is one which points
toward good and faithful public service,
we declare to the people that their In
terests would be safe in his hands; that
lac would always be found at his post,
always vigilant, always active, ard al
ways accommodating.
That he will be elected is unquestion-
able; for while his opponent may be an
excellent man in some respects, he is
without qualifications except that he
has often affixed his signature to county
warrants.
The next County Clerk is George
". Potter.
