republican nominating convention. Mr.
Porter, though comparatively young
man then, and a new resident Of the
county, was elected states attorney two
years ago by rousing majority, and
that the confidence felt in him by the
people was not misplaced, IS clearly
proven b. his official record of the pasl

the Custer bar. His fellow citizens
know him to be a man of temperate
habits, well educated, conservative. vet

has held the Office for the two years las

perience. will qualify him still bette
for the performance of the duties o
another term.

nominee for coroner, ia resident o.
Buffalo Gap. and physician of ability
and good standing. He probably ism

business OF the Office due care and al
tention.
