+ asn q. .lpa what has been the work
( fsg when Mr. Hover IS so honored
among the people, let them examine
the record of any undertaking which
has added to the material prosperity Of
Ford county. MIR Hoover, while a
large property owner in Dodge City,
has not confined his faith in the coun-
try to one particular place, but has in
vested thousands Of dollars in land.
He has not been of those who invested
for speculative purposes, but each year
he put out large acreage of wheat,
taking his chances for return on the
investment along with the farmers of
Ford county. No man in the county
has interests so identified with every
class as Geo. NJ. Hoover. He has in
terests in almost every town in the
county, and in almost every township
as well. He is the largest real estate
proprietor in the county, and hence has
the greatest interests at stake. When
he votes for his interests lie votes for
the interests of all The sound judy
ment that he has displayed in business
affairs will be exercised at Topeka in
the interests Of Ford county. Mr..
Hoover has the advantage Of having
once before represented Ford county
at the state capital, and added to this
is the fact that he enjoys a wide ac-
quaintancc with the prominent men Of
the state-mcn whose acquaintance
and influence in the legislative halls Of
the capital are tower of strength to
the recipiant Mr.. Hoover has Deen
identified with railroad enterprises, not
in tie sense Of an organized system
that causes the just antagonism of the
farmer aud merchant, but in the work
OF organizing companies that had for
their object the building of roads, in
order that this country might be de-
veloped, farmers and mechanics given
employment, a market furnished for
farm products, and cheaper transport
tation rates given the merchant. Fol-
lowing Mr.. Hoover, is the name of that
staunch democrat,
a j. ANIHON1,
FOR Probate Judge. Mr.. Anthony is
one of the wheel horses of the demo-
cratic party and one of the old set
tiers of the county. He is man of
sterling worth, upright and honorable.
He has been trustee of Dodge town
ship year in and year out" since its
He has one Of the fine
farms of Ford county, and has what is
a sure criterion of a mans character
the highest regard of all people with |
whom he is acquainted. He has pass
ed through all the hardships of pioneer
life, and to-day is one of the most gen.
lal and popular men in the county. He |
has time after time refused the honOrs |
Of a county office, but, needing the |
voice Of the party, he has entered this
race to win. Every element of
strength in the party, besides a large
following of republicans, will roll up a
for A. J. Anthony for Pro-
bate Judge.
TH0S. LAHEY,
after one term in the office of Clerk of |
he District Court, again comes before
the people with clean, open record,
Tor reelection. Mr.. Lahey has made
,ne of the most faithful officers this
county has ever had He is courteous,
affabl., and never loses sight OF the
fact that public officer is a public SER
want. No man who has bad business
with the clerk Of the court can say that
ne was direlict in duty, or discourteous
N manner He comes before the vot-
ers with something more than promises
If good work, for that is already as
sured from the past. Mr.. Lahey has
been a consistent democrat, but not of
he order that intensi6es hatred in the
opposition. He numbers hosts of
personal friends in the republican ranks
who will enthusiastically endorse his
