AIAs1 REVIEW.

This paper, knowing the real worn
of the candidates whom It wishes r
zee fiji the various county Offices thu
ensuing year, has not devoted its en-
tire space to eulogizing them, nor hal
it stopped low enough to manufacture
lies about their opponents. In fact
we have saiI no harsh word and Mt
tered no insinuations against the per
sonal character of opposing candi
dates. Our reasons for this course
are apparent to a majority Of the vo
ters of the county. The sterling
worth Of our candidates was known
when they were placed on the ticket,
and all through the campaign, as at
present, we depended upon the sound
Judgment of the people OF the county
and district. We now wish to say u
few words concerning some OF the
men for whom majority of the best
of Ford co;n:v citizens haze decided
to vote.
We fna that r. F. Scoffern came
to this county four years ago, over
three wears OF which he has been
Agent of the c. r. I. & ?. r. r. He
has improved claim near Bucklin
anil made it IA productive farm, owns
modest home in that city, and no
mansion is considered! a more pleasant
place to visit. He bias served two
terms as township treasurer of Buck
lin township. Was elected Vice
President Of the Railway Agents
Association of Kansas in 'S8 ut Sa
lima, and in 80 at Kansas City he
was elected President, served us State
Secretary last year. and at Wichita
last May was again elected President.
After severing his connection with
The railroad service he resigned, the
place being filled by the Trav. Audi
tor of the A. T. & S. F. Ry.; The fact
that man from little town like
Bucklin WAS chosen to fill such prom
inent positions III great organi-
zation, shows him to possess good
clerical ability, to be strictly honest
and wi,hall a pleasant man with whom
to do business. Mr.. Scoffern is like
most Of us, dependant upon his labor
to support his, family, consisting of
several children, and his farm is COW
cred with plaster Of more than us
ual size. This is Il sketch Of one of
our candidates who will be selected
next Tuesday to help conduct our
county affairs.
L. Il. Miller, who came into the
race at the eleventh hour has 50 ex
tended an acquaintance throughout
the county, and his fitness for the
position OF county treasurer is SD mp
parent that as soon as he entered
lpon the canvass with the same hearty |
manner that he exhibits when in dead
earnest in any matter of import, that
he people of Old Ford fiocked to his
support with feeling of relief, real
ling that in him there was good,
business man with good
lead, sound body and honest heart,
nd one that the gang could not de
eat. When a candidate possesses
he sturdines and integrity of charac
Ell that Mr.. Miller has ever
cen known to possess. you may bet
orr last shirt button that Ford
ounty will stay by him.
James A. Arment is one of the
men of our county that has
tayeh with Kansas through her nd
erse as we'll as prosperous days, and
} with us to day the same gooina
ared, competent Jim Arment that he

sser:ions If the friends Of opponents
, the effect that he was An Office
ecker. it is a fact that he has never
cen a candidate for any county Office.
he fact that he has held the position
councilman, an office without salary
