MAKE NO MISTAKES.

voters will again express themselves
on national, state and local issues. 1t
seems almost superauous for us to re-
iterate the fact we so often have en-
deavOred to impress upon the minds
OF the voters of this county heretofore,
that the platforms upon which the re-
spective candidates are standing should
have the greatest of bearing when the
voter is making choice. Suffiee it to
say that the line between the two tick
cts Is very plainly drawn. BY their
resolutions the parties have committed
themselves and the candidates have
manifested their approval of the parties
action. The peoples party champions
the cause of free silver while the re-
publican party has endorsed the pres
ent gold standard system. This state
ment is corroborated by the opposition
and is universally admitted to be true.
This OF itself should be ample reason
why the peoples ticket should be voted
next Tuesday. But that is not all, we
have ticket to offer to the citizens of
petent men chosen from different parts
of the county, against whom there has
never been word of reproach OF any
kind or character. At the head of peo-
pies party ticket appears the name of
o. MILLS.
Mr.. Mills is the present sheriff of
ri nd DIM ict, ~
has been so clean. honest and success
full that the people Of Barber county
are clamoring for his reelection. Dur
ing mis- term of Office he has saved Bar.
Der county the sum of s., 399 50 and
has done as much, II not more, work
for the county IN two years time than
was dOne in Mr.. blossoms administra,
ton. In the honest and faithful dis
charge of duty, Mr.. Mills has been all
that an officer could be and in the event
of his re- election the citizens of this
county are assured of an equally adj
mirable administration. lie is a far
mer and stockman of Lake City town
ship and, while not wealthy, has suf-
fclent property in this county to make
him interested in the welfare and pros
perity of his fellowmen. He helps to
keep up expenses by paying taxes in
which respect he has great advantage
of the republican candidate. Vote for
Mills and show your appreciation of
his work in the interest of Barber coun-
" during the past two years.
j. S. JONES.
For the Office of county treasurer we
have man on the ticket in whom we
take special pride IN supporting. 1t is
seldom that any party is able to find &.
man who is so superiorly qualified for
chat Office as jolly Josh Jones' Rapid
and exact In figures, penmanship which
cannot be eXcelled by anybody, book
keeping perfect, neat and systematic
these are some of the requisite faculties
that Mr.. Jones possesses besides other
qualifications that do not necessarily
enter into the discharge of duty in that
office. Mr.. j. ia also an obligIng gen
Lleman and will always accord the
|
he is an honest man, farmer of Eagle
/ township and heavy tax payer. He
will remain in Barber county whether
defeated or elected and is not making
preparations to leave if defeated. Vot.
for j. S. Jones, it is matter of vita
interest to the county.
r. D. GADDIE.
For the Office of county clerk we have
a man who Will make creditable sue
| cessor to f. A. Lewis. Never IN The
history Of Barber county did a more
needy and deservant man become {
candidate for office. We have pre-
viously recited Mr.. Gaddie's mlsfor
tunes in years gone by in this county
and aTepetltion is needless. Yet il
spite of this he has remained with US
and assumed his share of the burdens Of
failures and Is still taxpayer anon,
US. He is competent for the Office tt
which his friends will elect him anC
vote for him is vote we'll cast. Ii,
is an industrious farmer of Nippawalls
township and his word among his neigh
bors is as good as his bond. Elect r
d. Gaddie and you will have anothe
cordial, Whole-Souled clerk
CIV. WILSON
Our candidate for register of deeds
G. w. Wilson, of McAdoo township, il
ID man who has friends everywhere
Among his neighDors, Mr.. Wilson ha
friendship that is there to stay, an,
when he cultivates an acquaintance
among strangers he leaves an impress
sion that is very favorable, to say TIL
least. The competence Of Mr.. Wilson
for the office of register of deeds is ad
mltted by the opposition but they sa
that the republican candidates popu
larity cannot be overcome. After tn
election their minds will be material
changed on this point. Charley VII
son is hard working farmer and an
other of those men whose efforts ar
gwen to the upbuilding of the county
He is sound ON the financial questio
which cannot be said of his opponent
and when you vote against Mr.. Wilso
you vote for gold basis man. Don
do it. Vote for 9. w. Wilson.
