POLITICAL NOTES.

| present. uhtNelltlul puL
ant county campaign is drawing to a
close, and it may not be out of place to
again briefly Call attention to the merits
of the ticket that heads this column:
| The office of county commissioner is
generally recognized as among the most
important in the county government,
and in conformity to this idea, the late
Democratic convention made wise
choice when it selected J. NJ. Cole to
| represent the people of the First district
on the next board of commissioners.
| Mr.. Cole knows the duties of the office
| and possesses the ability and courage to
perform them withoutfear or favor of any
man. party or interest. Taxpayers hav-
ing the interests of the county at heart
| will vote for Jim Cole.
The mere mention of Rube Oldland's
name arouses enthusiasm, and as fire.
quently stated in these columns, if the
county had been searched from end to
end more competent Or responsible
man could rot have been found to fill
the treasurer's Office than this genial
gentleman.
| l.. s.. Bloomield''s name is synonym
| for integrity and hOnest worth, anu
everyone who knows him knows he is
thoroughly qualified to fill the office of
county judge.
The ever popular Jim Hayes is too
! well known to need more than passing
mention. His ability TO I'LL the assessors
Office is also so well known that his cleo
ton is among the certainties.
Experience has taught the people of
this county that the Office of sheriff
needs to be filed by man possessing
courage. ability and a complete know
| ledge of the various duties devolving on
| him. Where can be found man more
fully in possession of these essential
qualities than Sam Wear? Vote for
Mr.. Wear on Tuesday and the peace
affairs of the county will be in safe and
competent hands for the next two years.
Ever since the Campaign opened Mrs.
Devlin, the popular candidate for super
intendent of schools. has been gaining
in public favor until now her election
is conceded by all who view the stua-
ton from an impartial standpoint. In
nearly all the counties of the state the
Office of superintendent of schools has
been given to the newly enfranchised
voters; and it is right and proper that it
should be so, because if there is any
position to which the new voters can
lay claim to adaptability in filling, it is
that just named. Nobody who knows
Mrs. Devlin or has met her during the
present canvass can doubt her ability to
eminently and satisfactorily fill the posi-
tion to which she aspires, and all who
recognize true merit and wish to reward
it will vote for this estimable lady.
The fash-light of public opinion has
been cast on the various tickets, and we
confidently believe that next Tuesdays
verdict will show the Democratic ticket
to have stood the test.
~
Rounding-up and shipping beef cattle
to market. coupled with a slight mis-
hap, have been the causes which have
kept Rube O'dland from getting round
among the people in this campaign, but
as Mr.. Oldland is so well known to the
majority of the voters his plurality will
not be reduced in consequence of his
non-appearance among them.
~
After trying to induce different ones
of their leading men to make the race
for commissioner against Jim Cole, in
the First district, the Republicans
have finally thrown up the sponge and
left that position on their ticket vacant,
which leaves practically clear track
for MIR. Cole. His election is now as
sured.
~
Mr.. Bloomfield returned from the
western end of the county in the early
part of the week, where he found the
outlook for the Democratic ticket ex-
ceedingly bright. Without all indica-
tions fail, Mr.. Bloomfield will be elected
county judge next Tuesday.
