The islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1891-1899, 1894-10-18
A SHORT INTRODUCTION.

head we find the name OF James
Tullock, prominent farmer and
fruit grower of Orcas island. Mr..
Tullock is pioneer of San Juan
county, having resided on his farm,
near East Sound, for a fifth of a
century, during all of which time
he has been closely interested in the
success of fruit growing, and has
done as much to advance that
growing industry as anyone In San
Juan county. During the entire
time of his sojourn here he has been
champion of the farmer and all
other honest industries, and as long
as he lives will be found on the side
of honesty and integrity. Mr..
Tullock is a great reader and a
sound thinker, and has devoted all
of the spare time, which a particu-
larlv active and industrious farmers
life would permit, in studying mat
tiers pertaining to just and economic
legislation. and if the electors send
him to Olympia they will be sure
that he will ever be on the alert,
and looking after the interests OF
our county. This is the first time
in his life that Mr.. Tullock has ever
been before the public as candi-
date for any Office whatever and it
was with great deal of reluctance
that he accepted this nomination.
In voting for Mr. Tullock we show
our respect for sterling integrity
AMI cast vote in our own interests.
When the 9th of next November
rolls around we predict that the
people of San Juan county will
prove to the public that they know
wherein lie their interests.
FOR SHERIFF.
Edward Delaney, the nominee
for sheriff, On the Citizens Ticket,
although young man, is too well
known in San Juan county, and all
this part of the state for that matter,
to need comment in these columns.
He was born in Vancouver, this
state, in 1866. He has acted in the
capacity of deputy sheriff, under
Sheriff Thomas and during the past
six months, in the absence of Mr..
Thomas, performed all ofthe duties
of sheriff. He has, as everyone
knows, made a fearless, competent
and thoroughly good officer. He
has been connected with a number
of quite prominent arrests. The
most notable being the capture of
Hugh Lynn, the double murderer,
who was hanged at Vancouver a
short time ago, whom he arrested
on Shaw island. If elected we pre-
dict that Ed will make a record, as
a thief catcher, equal to his brother
Thos. R. Delaney, of Townsend.
FOR COUNTY CLERK.
The nominee for county clerk,
Harry P. Nichols, of Olga, is also
a young man. Although born in
the east he came west when quite
young and for the last few years
has been holding down farm at
the base of Mt. Constitution. Mr..
Nichols is a gentleman in every
sense of the word and to know him
is but to like him. He is a book
keeper which makes him especially
qualified to fill the office of clerk,
to which he aspires.
FOR COUNTY AUDITOR.
Geo. A. Ellsperman, the aspirant
for auditor on the Citizens Ticket,
is quite well known to almost every
voter in San Juan county. He is a
cooper by trade and spent several
years making lime barrels at the
various lime works in our county,
where he won the respect of all
with whom he came in contact.
George is thoroughly honest and
upright man and is respected as
such by all without regard to polit-
zeal faith. He has served our county
as clerk, faithfully for the past two
years and will serve us just as faith
fully if elected to the office of
auditor. George is in every way
worthy of our suffrage.
FOR COUNTY TREASURER.
James J. Doyle, the nominee for
treasurer has resided in San Juan
county for the past nine years and
is the oldest living son of Mr.. and
Mrs. j. P. Doyle, who reside on
and own one of the best farms in
San Imam Va1lay wbioh fbo foo;l,,
