Our Ticket.

Our Ticket.
The populists of Barber county have
no apology to offer for the personnel of
their ticket. The honest voter, what
ever political prejudices he may have,
cannot dispute the fact that the candi-
date are honest, representative men,
and would make an admirable set of
officers. At the head of the ticket
stands OrYille Mills, or Tonk Mills as
he is generally known, and a better
man for the office of sheriff is not in
the county. He came to Barber in 1877,
settling five miles southeast of Lake
City. For the first seven years he
worked on the range, and was popular
among the boys of early days, In 1884
he concluded to discard the cowboy
paraphrenalia and enter the calmer
shere Of agriculture. Since that time
he has lived on his place near Lake
City and is now, as he has always been,
one of the most respected citizens of
our county. He has the qualifications
necessary for the office, and the people
OF Barber county should make no mis-
take in the selection of that important
officer. Put an Y in the square to the
left of Mr.. Mills name.
FOR COUNTY CLERK.
Frank A. Lewis needs no further
recommendation than his official ac-
tions afford. His competence and abil-
ity to fill the Office has even been pub
licly acknowledged by republicans, as
has also his observance of reelection.
Barber county has never had better
officer than Frank Lewis and that he
will be elected this fall goes without
saying. Even the republicans would
be disappointed if the result should
prove differently.
FOR TREASURER.
Notwithstanding all the thunder
manufactured over Mr.. Potes, his in
competence, ETC., the treasurer's Office
has never made better showing than
it has during his administration. The
last statement made by the treasurer's
Office was the most complete ever sent
out, being correct in every particular
and showing an exact balance on the
books. The Office has been kept in
first class condition during Mr.. Potes'
administration and the PEOPLE should
continue his term for another two
years.
FOR REGISTER.
In the person of l.. NJ. PresnalI the
people have man competent to take
charge of the recorders ONCE and con
duct it properly. He has lived in this
county several years and has been iden-
tilted with the peoples party moYe-
ment since its inception, being one OF
the early members of the Alliance.
Some attempts are being made by one
or two who havea personal grudge to
defame his character, but it should
only have the effect of actinga as boom
erang against the parties who use such
methods. Mr.. PresnalI should and will
be elected this fall.
FOR COUNTY ATTORNEY.
This paper could not be expected to
say much Of Mr.. Beals that they do
not already know, from his former con-
nection with it as editor. The people
know him to be honorable ana upright
in his doings Ond honest in purpose.
He IS a graduate of the st. Louis law
school, and while he has not practiced
to any great extent he has knowledge
of law that many who are more ostenta-
tlous do not possess.
FOR CORONER.
Although not generally recognized as
! such the oillce OF coroner is an import
ant one. DIR. KOciell has filled the of
flee crediiably and will do SO during the
next two years.
FOR SURVEYOR.
ID. j. Aber has been in the county so
long as to need no introduction. His
surveying has been the most satisfac-
tory OF any in the county for the past
few ears, and he should be reelected.
III voting the ticket the voter should
place his mark in the squares before
each name We have indicated. The act
is very simple. Ali the names on all
tie tickets are placed on the ballot and
only the names are counted that are
indicated by the mark as above desig-
mated. If the voter wishes to vote for
q candidate on one of the other tickets
all he has to do is TO place the \ in the
