The Globe-republican., 1891-08-26
OUR TICKET.

It is with pride we this week pre-
sent to the citizens of Ford county fol
their consideration, a county ticket
composed of as clean and upright
list Of candidates as were ever pre-
sented to the voters of community
Each man on the ticket is peculiarly
well qualified for the performance in
person of the duties of the Office to
which he aspires. 1t is fortunate fol-
the people OF Ford county that in
this particular campaign they have
an entire ticket before them whose
past record is so straight and whose
integrity is so well known that their
supporters can fight an aggressive
campaign from start to finish. The
brood of vampires Which have fas-
tened themselves upon our fair county
and are sucking its very life blood
can only be shaken loose by such a
fight. They are entrenched in the
public treasury and control absolutely
the board of county commissioners.
The depressed period through which
we have just passed has made it very
difficult to raise money to pay taxes;
yet to save their little holdings OF
property our people all over the
county have poured their hard earned
savings into the Unsuitable hopper Of
the county treasury, only to see it run
through like water from a sieve, for
these public parasites to speculate
with, spend in riotous living or hoard
up secretly as their fancy or inclina-
ton may chance to lead them to do.
Our candidates, clad in the invulner-
able armor of unimpeachable charac
tiers, fear no real injury from the
threatened mudslinging of the con
spirators. 1t may not be pleasant to
peace loving natures, but the emery
ency demands that they be met and
overthrown even though their unsa-
worry weapons of defense cause us and
our candidates to froth at the
mouth" while performing disagree
able though imperative duty.
Space forbids that we give this week
more than q brief mention of each
candidate, besides they are so well
known in this county that lengthy
comments are Unnecessary.
OUR NEXT SHERIFF.
The ticket is headed with C. NJ.
Beeson, man that is known by almost
every voter in Ford county. They
know what he has done for the county,
what he is doing at the present time
and what he will continue to do, and
we think the people Of this county
appreciate a man who is helping
every taxpayer in Ford county to adj
vance the price on every dollars worth
of property in in the county. All
know that he is thoroughly competent
to fill the Office and he pledges him
self to look after the Office personally.
You all know him and know he is
no office seeker Nearly sixteen years
in the county, and not only has he
never asked for an office but many
times refused to allow his name
to be used by his friends in nomina-
ting conventions. His nomination at
this time was not his seeking and
accepted with reluctance, because of
his business. If Mr.. Beeson is elect
ed it will certainly he "the office
seeking the man.
Mr.. Beeson is q successful farmer
and stock raiser. He promises if
elected to give the affairs of the Office
the same attention that he gives his
own business. This is the kind of q
man that the people of this county
want for sheriff. He deserves to win on
his own merits and qualifications. and
not upon the dement's of any other
candidate
COUNTY TREASURER.
A more suitable man for this inn
portant trust could not be found by
searching the county oyer. Mr.. B.
s. Williams, besides being a most
worthy man in every respect which
goes to make q valuable member of
