His announcement appears in the NEWS
subject to the action Of the Republican
primary. lie has held the office for two
years being elected in 1894. His present

fectly natural that he should want an
Endorsement by his party at least. lie

JESSE Eskridge is also a candidate. He
wants to be the Republican nominee for
County Attorney. lie was a candidate
two years ago and was beaten by his
present competitor, Il. n. Miller. 1t
was neck and neck race then and it
seems that the same ground will be
fought over again. Mr.. Eskridge is one
OF the incest young men in the county, a
good young lawyer, able, competent and
worthy the office to which he aspires.
The NEWS takes pleasure in placing his
name in its announcement column and
commends him to its many Republican
readers. Go in Jesse and beat Reuben
if you can.

of the Republican County Committee
would receive the appointment. The
