The St. Johns herald., 1896-10-24

ising abilities, resident of St. Johns a taxpayer. and therefore is interested in our advancement educationally. He will make worthy and popular Judge and will do all in his power to please the schools. teachers and trustees in the discharge of his duties as school superintendent.
 Mir. Craig is thoroughly honest, and the school funds will be safe in his l hands.
 If the voters elect him, they will make no mistake, notwithstanding the assertions and predictions of bis oppo- nents to the contrary. Every man who wants good county government, every voter who expects our school system to improve, every citizen who has pride in his county, and who expects county affairs to be administered intelligently and impar- tially, will vote on November 8, for Dr. s. NJ. Craig.
 The nominee for Recorder,
 HARRIS GREER, Of Concho, young, intelligent stock man, expects to be elected because he is qualified for the position and because the most influential citizens desire his election. If he is elected the records will be kept in good shape, the business of his office will be attended to in the proper time and place, and the Board of Supervisors will have in him all ef- ncient aid. To elsct him means success in the Recorders office; and his pleas ing yet conservative manner will glve satisfaction to all citizens who may have to call upon him.
 Every voter who expects to make our county second to none in the territory will vote for Greer.
 A. E. HENNING, A popular citizen and COW man, of Nav ajo, is the nominee for Treasurer.
 He is an honest, conservative man, and will take good care of the peoples money; and as he is neither gambler nor dripker, in the accepted term. he may be considered safe man for that place. His election means no fraudu- lent accounts, ne deficiencies, no em. bezzlements of funds or moneys. He IS an old-time citizen of the county and like the other nominees, is interested in frugal government.
 Every man who votes for Henning will cast his ballot for reform and econ- omy, and will in time be pleased be- cause he cast his vote for Hennng.
 MT. Henning is not well known in the southern part of the county, but his personal friends speak of him in terms of praise, and we think no mistake has been made Tn nominating Henning for Treasurer.
 Both
 l.. J. BROWN AND ELISHA AYERITT, Are well-known citizens of the south ern part of the county. Both are sound on business propositions. Browns of iciaI acts Tn the past are we'll known. and Averett will soon learn the duties of his office.
 In electing Bsown aud Averett mem- oers of the Board of Supervisors. with w. H. Gibbons already there, We may expect an economical and fair adminis- ration.
 With this trio, who can neither be ;ajoIed by opponents nor coerced by le party lash. men whose interests are ,ur interests, and whose prosperity de- bends upon their actions in the board, Ire reasonably safe.
 ALFRED RUIZ s undoubtedly the best qualified man or District Attorney that we have in he county, and as his entire interests re in this coanty, we think he is the ogical man for the office. AS District Clerk, Mir. Ruiz has made splendid ecord, and we expect the satne thing vill be the case when he is elected Dis rict Attorney.
 He is an indefatigable worker, neat nd systematic, and his knowledge of he law and legal documents will rem Ter him valuable ald in our county fairs. Be not deceived. but vote for Ruiz.
 The last name on the ticket is not he least, neither is he the least quali- jed, but his work throughout the entire ounty IS universally praised and ap- 'reciated. In giving your votes to
 E. R. STAFFORD, Tor Sur' eyor, you, citizens. will make 10 mistake. Look at the names on both tickets, ompare them in every possible way discuss their qualifications, sk about their standing, socially, nor lily. etc., and when you have done so, 'e arg satisfied all good true Democrats nd unenameled Republicans will vote pr the Democratic ticket.
 A straw.
