The McCook tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 1886-1936, 1893-10-06

a splendid support from the people OF
Red Willow county at the coming cleo
ton. The party has made a strong nomi-
nation for the Office of county clerk.
f. r. BANKS.
The wisdom of the denomination OF
E. R. Banks for the Office of county
sheriff is granted by all, friends and foes
alike. A stronger candidate or a more
officer tor the s~hrlevalty
could not have been found within the
boundary lines of Red Willow. We
have had more than ordinary excellence
in our sheriffs in past years, but none OF
these have conducted the business of that
important and difficult position with
greater ability more impartiality or more
conspicuous success and general satisfac-
ton than has Err. Banks. A born officer,
cool, even-tempered, fair, fearless, atten-
tive to business, prompt in the discharge
of his duties, E. R. Banks has made a
typical officer, and the man who expects
to keep in sight of him i'll the coming
election will have to be a Splinter of the
world-beater sort.
c. w. BECK.
Perhaps the records Of the county
court of Red Willow county nave never
been in as good shape as they are TN
der the present county judge, Charles w.
Beck. Out of chaos and absolute lack
of system, he has by careful and hard
work brought as full a measure of order
as can be expected under the circum-
stances. The Office has received his clos
est attention during the past two years,
and with the result that very general
satisfaction has been given the people.
The affairs of the court have been manag-
ed Systematically and equitably, His re-
nomination was entirely deserved, and
his reelection should be %compassed by a
neat plurality.
A. H. BARNES.
The nominee of the convention for
the office of county treasurer, Deputy
County Clerk Barnes, has too wide an &C
q%uaintance in Red Willow county to re-
quire an introduction at our hands, or
any words of recommendation. AS de-
putty county clerk for the past six years
he has shared with his principal the
honors of that Office, and has become
we'll known throughout the county as an
efficient and accommodating officer in
that department of the county govern
ment. His qualifications for the posi-
ton of county treasurer will be admitted
by all, and his popularity makes him an
unusually strong candidate for these new
honors- in the service of the people.
w. F. EVEREST,
Better known as Frank Everist, IS the
nominee for commissioner of the first
district. Frank belongs to the tribe of
Eli, upon whose banner is emblazoned in
letters of living light, "Get there" He
is a rustler from wayback, without a SEM
b1ance of moss on him. He would make
an active, business-like commissioner,
such as the first district needs. He
should be elected by a round plurality.
w. P. GRIMES,
The unanimous choice of the conven-
ton for county surveyor, is perhaps not
so we'll known to the people as the other
nominees. He is, however, a successful
farmer of Valley Grange precinct, where
he is highly esteemed, and is by those
who know him vouched for as being per.
fect1y competent to perform the duties
of the Office of county surveyor. He
should be heartily supported.
c. w. HoDGKIN,
Who formerly served the people care
fully as county commissioner, is the
choice of the convention for the Office o.
coroner. We feel safe in stating that he
will fill the Office creditably, and dis.
charge the duties of the coronershiI
with "neatness and dispatch" He will
doubtless receive the party support and
ornament that Office after January first.
THE ENTIRE TICKET,
From top to bottom, is able and strong
and worthy. If given the deserved sup.
port it will come out victorious at the
approaching election.
