The Democrats of McLennan


county will on Saturday choose
from among the aspirants for
official honors those candidates for

Der. The list of aspi1ants is a long
one, running from one for the office
of county superintendent of schools

the list presented is as good one
as to quality as it is as to quantity
as strong as it is long.
For county superintendent we

teacher of great experience, and,
having served the county as its
superintendent, is fully acquainted
with the duties Of that Office.

Mr.. Scarborough is known 10 the
people of McLennan county as
man of learning, ability and pro-
bity, and his selection would insure
duties we'll performed.
Two candidates are asking to be
made clerk of the district court--Ed
Sparks and Major A. Hinchman.
Both are we'll known and each is
fully equipped to transact the bust
ness of the Office.
For sheriff John w. Baker and
w. l.. Burke are the candidates.
There are not two better known
men in the county, and the voter
cannot go far wrong in casting his
vote for either.
7. A. Blair and Joe w. Taylor
are applicants for the Office of coun-
ty attorney. Each has had long
experience in the Office, both are
we'll known, and either will give
satisfaction to the friends who sup
port him.
Five men are asking support for
the Office of county treasurer. They
are all able men, good men-men
well known to the people OF the
county, and we'll able to perform
the duties of the Office. The honest
Democrat can safely vote for either
Mord II. Standifer, Joseph A.
Clifton, w. II. Hollon, John M.
Conner or Sam f Waters.
Either Rice Wilkinson, J. j.
Padgitt, John r. Warner, ]. w.
Frost, Pink Ii. Pogue, H. w.
Saddler or Luke Moore has the
ability, the faithfulness, the
honesty, the thorough knowledge of
affairs necessary to render him fit
for the Office of tax assessor, and a

They all want it, and are all asking
for it.
In precinct No. l we find six able

They are all lawyers, and all good
men. They are j. B. Earle, w. H.
Davis, James S. Fi.zhugh, j. H.
Banton, j. N. Gallagher and T. G.
Smith. The Office of justice of the
peace has not very high sound,
but it is az important one, never.
theless, and either Of these men will
make an excellent officer.
Six men are likewise asking to be
made constable in this precinct.
Here again we find a round half
dozen good men, men fitted in every
way for the office they ask at the
hands of the people-men who are
active, brave, intelligent and faith.
