An Ommission Supplied.
Men who edit papers should never de-
viate from the truth and it grieves us
very much to see that the editor OF the
Mercury has allowed himself to be led
astray, even though the matter be small
and the excuse sufficient. Now
week ago our esteemed contemporary
stated that this week he would give us
a write-up Of the republican county
candidates, aud where is it, he evident
~ either forgot them or was ashamed
of them, but in either case he failed to
fulfil his promise and we feel SO badly
to think that any editor would depart
from the truth even in SO slight mat
ter that we feel called upon to supply
the omission, and so far as possible
repair the breach We are not pre-
pared to say whether the editor forgot
the entire county ticket or whether he
was ashamed Of them. We think it best
to let him make the selection, its some
thing like two restaurants in Garden
City, if you take one you will always
wish you had taken the other. It hard
~ seems possible that he can have for
gotten them before election as of course
he will after their defeat. or that he
can be ashamed of them in the face Of
our statement last week that soma of
them were reputable citizens, and before
beginning we want to say that the edi-
tor of the Mercury copied part of our
write-up on one of the opulist candi-
dates without our permission so we will
tell him in advance that if he copies
US on the republican ticket he is well
come to the whole thing.
r, A. WOLFE
for representative is probably as good a
selection as could have been made, TAX
ing him for his republicanism, which is
of the kind formerly described as black,
because of answering loyalty to party,
he has probably voted for every candi-
the last three years and we can con-
ceive of no severer test CT a mans 10y
atty TO party tn an that he should ha We
sacrificed the instinct that lies even
in the worst man, that is TO employ hon
est servants, aid voted tor some Of the
candidates thai the party has recently
swallowed. If Mr., Wolfe is a speaker
he will undoubtedly be heard from in
this campaign, at least if you don't hear
from him don't vote for him.
FOR COUNTY Alto RNEY
VIM. Beezley. x. e. For years Mr..
Beezley's bright and shining counte
nance has shone on tits community
like the "full' harvest moon. Bill has
seen the ups and downs of western life,
but not so frequently of late. His pres
eace has ever inspired the community
with respect for i'self-by contrast, he
has filled the Office of county attorney
for the past two years and has all envi-
able record similar to the book that was
going the rounds labeled tho proceed
| ings of congress. AS q lawyer he has
| few equals. but many Supporters. The
confidence and trust he inspires in the
com L unity is best illustrated by the
fact that the liquor sellers of the city
as one man or woman deposited their
government license with him where
they probably still remain. He is a
public benefactor TO voters and will not
| allow the rights of private citizens to
use vulgar and obscene language on
the public streets to be interfered with.
Mr.. A. J. CURTIS
l. 6 klx4 liz
good selection. He is sacriticial of
fering. Something had to be done fol
the sou theast part of the county and
knowing the hopelessness of beat
ing Max Boettcher the republicans put
Curtis up. Itserves two purposes, sat
isles that corner OF the county and kills
Curtis off for the future. He has been
trustee of his township twice, once by
election and once by accident. His
neighbors speak we'll of him. that is
those he is on speaking forms with
We do not know OF anything especially
to Mr.. Curtis credit that We can tel
the voters and so think we had better
drop the subject.
ROBERT FRoTTER
For probate judge. Mr.. Trotter is
one of the old timers and thoroughly
imbued with the traditions of his party
He is an abstract republican, and 8
practical mugwump, that is, man who
calls himself q republican, but votes
for the best men, and rs a matter o.
course is lot in favor with the gang, a

Mr.. Trotter has been at the head of the
Sunday schools OF the county for " ars
where he has done good service ant
should he be spared in the coming tria

tinue to do good work in the same di
rection. Mr.. Trotter will not be elect.
