NoMINATIoNs FOR THE ASSEMBLY,.

William NJ. Sims, nominated by the
Republican County Convention to rep
resent the Twentieth Assembly Dis
trict, was born in this county. He is
Sacramentan through and through.
He knows every acre in the county,
the course of every stream, and the
place of every hill. He is familiar with
the history. growth, needs and develop
ment of the county and it's people. He
comes from the farm and the bar. He
is a lawyer in the beginning of what
promises to be most successful
career. He is dignified, but not cold;
genial, but not familiar. He has good
delivery and debates with calmness
and precision. He is of studious habit
and logical mind. He hears with
equanimity and comes to judgment
with deliberation and strong convic-
ton. His social position is of the
best, and his character in private and
business life is without reproach We
look to Mr.. Sims to represent the
county with special watchfulness, and
to conserve her interests with diligence
and the courage that is characteristic
of him.
SCOTT F. Ennis. nominated to repre-
sent the Twenty-flrst Assembly Dis
trict, was born In San Francisco, but
came here when he was about six
years old. He is the honorable rep
resentative of a father who command
ed in this community the highest re-
lates. Mr. Ennis is a man of business
tact; he had a good common school ed
ucation: he has social prominence; is
manly Of bearing; his character for up
riehtness and integrity is second to
none. He represents in a large degree
the demand in this county and State
for improved road conditions, the ad-
vocates for road reform having been
especially active In promoting his cam
didacy. We believe that as he is quick,
intelligent, sensible, cool, and of moral
stamina, that he will not give Sacra-
mento County reason to be ashamed
OF his course in legislation He is fluent
In speech, but not an orator He has
strong convictions, but Is open to rea-
son. He is clean In life, and we do not
believe that association with State pol
it1cs will tarnish his soul.

come up to the Assembly from the
river section, representative of the
young manhood Of Sacramento County
He has wide business acquaintance

years as grower; has managed his
affairs so as to command the respect of
the business community. and to keep
himself in fair comfort before the
world. He is of exceedingly genial dis
position, but is receptive, patient, will
ing to hear. and is not self-opinion-
ated. His disposition is of the order
that leads him to think kindly of all
men and to do justice to all regardless
Of condition. but he Is not one whit
lacking IN courage or vigor. He is
not an orator. but expresses himself
with emphasis and comparative ease.
He is socially and In business circles
popular, his character is unimpeached.
his private life reflects honor upon his
family name, and he is practical,
straightforward and not given to much
theorizing and never to vain imagining.
Is there any other county in the State
that has promoted at one time for po-
litical preferment three young men of
fairer fame? The people of the county
will give them their support and they
will be elected. 1t is essentially and
wholly delegation that is part and
parcel of the growth and development
of the county. 1t Is delegation that Is
a representative product of the county,
and that we can afford to place on ex-
hibition before the State with the belief
