THE republican county convention
nominated one who will, if elected make
an exceptionally competent and credit
able officer, in the choice of III. b. Owen
for the Office of sheriff. The straight
forward manner in which he would dis
charge the duties of that Office has been
foretold by the record he has made in
the conduct of public and private bust
ness. In all the years of his residence
here never has word of suspicion been
spoken as to his business transactions.
He has been an honorable citizen and a
faithful contractor. The campaign, so
much as he has interested himself, has
been clean and vigorous, and has won
him additional friends. Mr.. Owen
should be elected by large majority,
and we believe merits endorsement at
the pOlls.

THE democrats of this county are
making a still and determined hunt for
the offices. They are using money to
defeat the will of decided republican
majority. In the statement that they
are using money we mean to say that
they are using it in quantities and in such
manner as are far in excess of the legit-
innate demands of a campaign. They
are aware that the fight is vital to the
party in the county, are contributing
literally to the fund for the corruption
of the ballot, and have undoubtedly re-
ceived money from outside sources.
We speak advisedly of this feature of
the campaign.
