Very Energetic.

Mayor H. H. Troth of our city is now

ty and warm assurances from other del
egations in this part of the state, he
and his friends are feeling quite hopeful
of his prospects for securing the nomi-
nation at the coming state convention
in Lincoln.
As to the qualifications of Mr.. Troth
for the Office, they are ample and sufi-
cient in every particular. THE TRIBUNE
takes pleasure in reproducing the follow
ing complimentary reference to his can
didacy from the Red Cloud Belt:
McCooK and Red Willow county will
have a candidate in the state convention
for state auditor in the person of H. H.
Troth. Mr.. Troth is an old acquaintance
of this department and will make a
strong pull for the Office. He has got
Just dadoodles of friends in the western
part of the state and is as competent and
as well fitted for the Office as any lar
that could be named. He is a rock
ribbed Republican too and knows why
he is such. He was postmaster at
McCook under Harrison and is mayor OF
that city now and Job is here to say that
if the delegates from the Republican
valley don't support him they will al
ways wish they had.-Job in Barbwire
Department of Red Cloud Belt.
